  This place was exactly like we hoped. It was clean, quiet and had everything we needed. It was centrally located to nice restaurants which we could walk to. There was a bike rental place - Yolo - also within walking distance (which I would recommend). The beach was beautiful and actually couldn't ask for anything more. Would definately come here again and would recommend the unit. The kitchen was furnished with everything that we needed as well (although I have to admit I didn't cook much). I have no negatives to this place we had a great time :)

  My husband and I loved the time we spent in the cozy condo in captiva. The island is a perfect getaway without the touristy beaches of the other areas of florida. The water was perfect and shelling was very fun. The condo had everything that we would ever need! The bedroom was comfy and the tv with movies was a nice touch. The living room paint color was a bit bright and matched the color of my sunburn, but it set a beachy mood. Haha.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: I have been all over the world and I have never found better shelling than I have experienced at Captiva. In fact the mirror in the bathroom I made out of mostly shells that I found on the beach. The gated community feel makes this resort and the beach villas in particular truly special. I am very happy you found the condo to have everything you needed I have 6 total beach villas each has its own decor/theme to accommodate different tastes and sizes. I am glad you enjoyed the colorful beach decor of this unit. Hope to have you back again.

  We stayed 12 days over Xmas and New Year in this wonderful condo and we really loved it. The condo is excellent located with a beautiful view over the gulf. All descriptions were more than good; the aminities and appearence of the condo were perfect as well as maintenance and cleanless. The owner informed us very well concerning all or questions and we can recommend a stay in this wonderful place everyone who loves staying in a nice surrounding with best options to relax. Beach and swimmingpool are only a few steps away also restaurants and shops. The best holidays we ever had on Captiva! We will come back for sure.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Yes the beach and the pool are only a few steps away. I am glad you loved the condo and I hope to have you back again from Germany. I also feel it is very important that a rental be very clean and tidy. I also try to respond very promptly to guests.

  My absolute favorite beach! Very quiet but not isolated - the water is amazing and beach full of treasures. The house is okay - the coffee table is super heavy and we could not move it to actually use the sofa bed - not sure when it was last used - considering...... super easy rental process - quick and efficient. We had to call for a lock out one evening and it was handled in a relatively short time. Overall no major complaints on the unit and the location is wonderful!

  Owner response: Yes the beach is wonderful. I have had quite a few persons use the sleeper sofa this is the first for the table being heavy I think really the glass on the table is probably heavy and that can be removed then the table moved if it was too heavy. So all in all I am glad you enjoyed your stay and the lockout service is inclusive of the fees that are paid and is a nice feature for guests. Hope to have you back in one of my properties.

  My husband and i went to Captiva for our 3rd anniversary. What a beautiful place. The lady that owns this place has thought of everything, you will want for nothing. The screened lanai was a great place to sit and listen to the ocean. The beach is beautiful at the condo but if you want more shells go to Blind pass, very near by, we found a lot of shells there. Not many places to eat in Captiva, stop at the store before you head to the island, cheaper and more selection. We had good food in Sanibel, we ate at Doc Ford's, Island cow,Lazy Flamingo and George and Betty's and we were happy with all of those. Get ice cream from Pinnochio's, love the dirty sand dollar !! We went to the tram tour at Ding Darlings wildlife refuge, did not see much, not the highlight of our trip. Went to Ft. Myers beach and lovers key on Sunday....do it, amazing, great day trip !! Anyway, can not say enough good about our condo and the grounds of South Seas are just amazing, have a great time !!

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: I am glad you loved the condo yes the shells are great and amazing. There are so many. I hope to have you back soon.

  My wife and I stayed here for one week on Captiva prior to a planned stay at our timeshare on Sanibel. We wanted a nice 2 week retreat on the islands. This property was beautifully appointed and decorated. Nice lanai with view of pool and a bit of ocean in the distance beyond the palms and other vegetation. Unit is on second floor (third level from ground) and does not afford a view of the beach directly from that vantage point. The furnishings were quite comfortable with good television and internet availability. Kitchen was nicely appointed for cooking in, which we do extensively when we travel to our various timeshares owned. The one bedroom had a very comfortable bed and stayed very dark and cozy, even with daybreak looming from the morning sun rising in the East. It became "The Cave"...never slept better anywhere, I don't think. Like most places, nothing is perfect and things will go awry. We experienced some bumps in the road but give very high marks to the owners - Kim and Peter - to being on top of anything that popped up. They get 5 STARS for that. Our lanai ceiling fan wasn't working when we arrived on Saturday. But, we had a replacement by late Tuesday morning. The ice in the freezer of the fridge was removed by house keeping, which is apprently a FLA norm required by law. Ice maker produced nothing for about 6 hours and then very little the entire week of our stay. We learned from the owners the fridge was only a month old...good fridge with lousy icemaker is all I can say. We had to buy a bag of ice to supplement usage that week, and we are NOT heavy ice users by any stretch. So...word to the wise...bring some ice on arrival. We had a water heater overflow above us and dampen the walls somewhat. Owners inquired quickly to ensure that no damage was done to our belongings and to get an assessment from us of the damage, since they were not nearby that week. Loud bangings (at multiple intervals) from outside on concrete stair landings at 2nd or 3rd floor levels each morning starting arount 7am. Never determined source, just rolled back over in The Cave...Pool can get a bit noisy at times due to proximity - lots of families with kids in July...Lanais could get loud, since so many close together on 3 levels of floors w/ chatty families. All in all...a good week. Recommend it to anybody. If it isn't right, Kim and Peter will make it so. We won't hestitate to go again. It is a tremendous value for the money.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: Glad you will be back for your yearly vacation at South Seas. We really try our best as you can see. also glad you enjoyed the really comfy bed and appointments. Also agreed I think too many people think things will be perfect and we cant always have that... But at least we can try. The ice must be emptied when a new rental begins I think it is the health code in FL. It is suggested to get a bag at the local store 2 min away from the unit on your way in if you want to have ice quickly. I also love how dark the bedroom gets and I also sleep very well there. The noise was probably the renovation that was going on in the end of the building. I was there just after your rental and they were just finishing up with one of the units on the far end. But again not sure it could have also been the linen bags that are dropped off in the AM for the south seas rentals?? I came to inspect the water leak from above and by the time I got there a few days after you left all was fine and there was no evidence of damage thank goodness.

  My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay and the condo was exactly what the review stated. There are small things I wish we would have known (I will list those below), but for the most part it was perfect. There were a few more families than we expected, but that was only an issue because my wife and I didn't have children :) The restaurants were very good, but be prepared for pay about $5 more for dinner meals. I would strongly suggest the bubble room and Over Easy Cafe for two places to eat at. If you are flying into Fort Myers airport and simply coming to the island for your trip, I would seriously consider looking into a taxi and simply getting bikes. We rented a car and I am not sure if the $225 was worth a relatively short trip. The ocean was wonderful and the shells are even more than I expected (makes it very challenging to run or walk on the beach). The chairs and umbrella provided were perfect and made each and every trip to the beach wonderful. The condo was a typical beach condo and was decorated appropriately. The bedroom was very comfortable and that was a highlight that warranted mentioning. I would recommend this really for anyone that can survive time in an enclosed location with your party. We would have a difficult time in that space with our three children.

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, age 55+, girls getaway.

  Owner response: I am glad you loved your stay. The bed is super comfy and I love it. I am also glad you took some of my restaurant suggestions. I am always finding that meals out on vacation are more expensive especially when the vacation is on an island away from the immediate mainland. The Bubble Room is expsnive but worth it if you have never been. I do not recommend a one bedroom unit for 5 persons in fact the occupancy is only 4. I recommend a two bedroom for 5 persons. I would always want a car just in case an emergency came up but that is just me. Glad you enjoyed the embrella, chairs and cooler that I provide to make your stay a little less expesnive. hope to have you back.
