Perfect location!

It took us 46 seconds to be on the beach and with 4 kids that’s priceless! Loved the layout of the house not being 3 floors high. Pool was incredible and heated perfectly!

Easy living

We love the pool at this property which is why we returned to it this year. It is good sized and well maintained. Fun to put chairs on the large entry and sit in the water. The beach access is extremely convenient with a private entrance and no crowds at this section for home owners. Fishing was good. We enjoyed the Green Flash and RC Otter for dinners. We did very much miss the outdoor ping pong table from earlier times, but there are numerous pool toys and sand toys. Several lively spots for morning coffee out back or back balcony. The enclosed front pirch is a quiet spot by sliding the glass living room doors closed. The whole vibe is relaxation! Needed a new over head blub changed in one bathroom and they were there immediately. The Island store is well stocked and makes good subs-but it is a drive to larger stores so stock up on special needs.There were ten of us grandparents, adult children, and grandsons and everyone was happy.

Better than advertised Captiva Gulf-front home

This ‘cottage’ is actually a very spacious home with various separate indoor and outdoor living areas. We were a family of five with three adult kids, and the house could certainly handle more with all of the extra beds and four bedrooms. It is very well appointed with everything that you will need in the kitchen, closets, games, books, etc. All appliances worked perfectly. TV and internet worked well also. Having four different full baths really made it easy for our group of five to get cleaned up after a day at the beach. The heated pool was wonderful on some of the 65-70 degree January days. The location which is facing the Gulf about mid-island on Captiva provides less traffic and more privacy, but downtown Captiva (1.2 mi) is an easy stroll or bike ride to restaurants, shops, or basic groceries. We had good shelling right on the beach across the street, and the bay access via the property’s ‘through-island’ path to the dock, was really nice. We did not get to fish at all, but I suspect that renting some equipment would be a very nice way to relax. Obviously, the islands are recovering from Hurricane Ian’s destructive impact in September 2022. We were impressed with how far things are coming along. Much of Sanibel’s beachfront and any non-stilted buildings are still under construction or in transition. Captiva’s first mile of beachfront vacation homes also took a hit, but progress is being made everywhere. The islands’ refuges have a

Baybarlyn Getaway

Baybarlyn was the perfect vacation home for our adult family of 7 . We loved the " total retro" vibe! The location was great. We enjoyed sunrises and some visiting manatees at the dock and sunsets at the beach. We spent plenty of time at the pool as well. The gulf was calm most of the time while we were there except for a few days due to the winds. The beach supplies were great to have - sand toys, wagons, noodles and intertubes. Communication was easy with KIngfisher vacations and they answered my questions quickly and thoroughly. Plenty of space for us and we have rented again for next year.

Great stay at Baybarlyn!

Already rebooked for next Spring Break. The property is beautiful and the house worked great for our two families. The pool was maybe the biggest hit along with the sunsets just off our front porch. Beach access was easy and quiet. Looking forward to coming back.

Home away from home

Great location for families, access to the beach was so easy. Had tons of toys for the pool and beach. The backyard/pool area is excellent with a beautiful pool with very large shallow area for small kids, ping-pong table and bags to play. Grill worked well for a cookout. House is perfect for everyone to spread out and have their own space, each room feels very private. Beds, linens, towels were all nice. Minor issues are with supplies in the kitchen. No cleaning supplies were included even to wipe the counters. No dishwasher tabs or soap was supplied either. No cooking spray. No foil or plastic wrap for leftovers. A little bit would have gone a long way since local stores are small and expensive. Come here if you want an amazing private pool, the beach to yourself with great shelling, and beautiful sunsets every night. You will need a car as most resteraunts and shops are 5-10 minutes away.

Baybarlyn

Location was terrific and the beach was very nice. Unfortunately this house was not accurately represented in the ads. Ad says "old Florida style", reality is that it is an old house in ill repair. AC did not work, sink handle fell off, there was a serious ant infestation, and it had a funky smell. Management company was very responsive but the house just needs a major renovation.

A Perfect Beach Vacation

Baybarlin was the perfect fit for our family. The moment we walked in, we felt at home. While it is not a large home, it is spacious and cozy at the same time, with charming, beachy decor and plenty of entertainment by way of games and books. We found the home very clean and the linens and towels in good condition. With young children, we appreciated the leather furniture in the living room (less worry about spills) and the tile floor throughout. The kitchen is roomy enough to prepare meals (which we did almost every day of our stay due to the situation with Covid-19), and well outfitted with cookware, utensils, serving pieces and plenty of plates, bowls and mugs. The glassware could use some updating but it was plentiful as well. We found the refrigerator a tad small, but only because (again due to Covid) we bought a lot at once so we could avoid making several trips to the store or multiple deliveries. The walk to the beach across the street is short and easy. We were initially concerned about crossing the street but for the most part, when there was traffic, drivers were courteous and would stop for us to cross, especially when they saw the little ones, so it turned out to be no problem at all. The home has several colorful chairs stacked on the side of the path on the way to the shore which we used in the evenings when we went to watch the sunset since we had brought beach chairs and a shade tent for the beach day. We did find umbrellas, carts and floating rings and such in a closet in the pool area. It would be a good thing for renters to know this ahead of time. The most outstanding feature of this home is the pool area. The pool is lovely and was well maintained and so much fun for all. We had lunch in the patio table (equipped with umbrella) every day and there was a ping pong table there was well, but mostly, it was just very pleasant and occasionally breezy, even in late June. We loved our stay in Baybarlyn and definitely hope to be back!
