Modern 2BR Retreat Steps from the Beach and Village w/ King Bed

🌅 Rooftop sunsets, Gulf breezes, and pure Captiva Island magic — welcome to Sunset Captiva #18, a well-kept and wonderfully appointed two-bedroom, two-bath vacation home in the beloved Sunset Captiva community. ☀️ With a rooftop sundeck that serves up panoramic views of the surrounding tropical landscape and Gulf sky, a screened lanai perfect for outdoor dining, and easy access to the community's heated pool, tennis courts, and beach boardwalk, Sunset Captiva #18 is a hidden gem that guests love to return to.

🏡 The Sunset Captiva community is Captiva Island's most charming private neighborhood — sandy lanes, tropical foliage, a wonderful sense of community, and some of the best beach access on the island. 🌴 Sunset Captiva #18 is tucked in close to the community's shared barbecue patio area, making group grilling and socializing easy and fun. A boardwalk and nature walk lead to the Gulf beach and the historic Chapel By The Sea. 🏖️

🌊 The Sunset Captiva beach is a gem — wide white sand, warm Gulf water, and famously good shelling. The large heated community pool is one of Captiva's biggest, with a sunny patio, picnic tables, and gas grills. Two tennis courts and a boat dock round out the community amenities. 🎾⚓

🛏️ The primary suite upstairs features a king bed, two closets, a ceiling fan, a small TV, and sliding glass doors opening onto the rooftop-level sundeck — wake up, step outside, and greet the morning with Gulf breezes and tropical views. The en-suite bathroom has a walk-in shower. A pleasant loft adjacent to the primary suite has a queen pull-out sleep sofa and also opens to the sundeck. 🌺

The guest bedroom on the main level has two twin beds. The guest bathroom features a tub shower. The cathedral-ceiling living room has two sofas, a flat-screen TV, and a dining table that seats six. The screened lanai offers outdoor dining for four. 🍽️ The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances.
A/C, WiFi, linens, beach towels, washer/dryer, and gas grill access nearby are all included. Please note Sunset Captiva community rules apply (max 2 vehicles, no motorcycles).

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed 2 beautiful weeks at this home..a 3 minute walk to the beach, and a 60 second walk to the pool. The home is well cared for, it was neat and clean. We didn't even rent a car, just a couple of bikes and we enjoyed a stroll every evening to dinner at one of the many restaurants close by.

Nice house, awful electrics

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The first three days of our stay were ruined by continued faulty electrics. All our frozen foods were thawed as the freezer did not work, the washer would not work,we had to keep the coffee maker on so the lights would work but, thank the lord,the a/c worked as it was on a different circuit from the 110v. items. A lack of personnel in your office on Sunday added to our woes.On the positive side, once we got your attention the maintenance gentleman, Rod did all he could to remedy the situation and finally Lee County people fixed it late on Monday. You should organize some sort of oven gloves as the one provided was 6in.x3in. The front door dead bolt needs some attention as it is hard to operate.

A pleasant stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in many houses in the Sunset Captiva complex, and this one did not disappoint. It was clean, roomy, well-stocked with necessities, and overall a very pleasant place to be. The hot water wasn't functioning when we arrived, but the problem was fixed after two service calls. Our only complaint was the annoyance of someone at the door arriving unannounced to service the air conditioner (we said "no,") and then another phone call from your office requesting that we let him in, which we also said "no" to. The air conditioning was fine, and we were on vacation and had had enough service people at the house already. It is our suggestion that you send service people when the house is unoccupied.

Spring Break

Rental group was fantastic! Location was steps from the beach, restaurants, and heart of all activities. The house was exactly as described and very clean. Kitchen was very well stocked compared to many rentals we’ve stayed in. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of space for clothes. Only thing I’d change is replacing the sofa bed upstairs with a bed.

Disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was very disappointing and was not cleaned properly. The previous tenants wet towels were left on top of the washer for me to wash. Other towels were in the washer and dryer. The twin bedroom beds were not changed. The sheets were dirty. I found sheets in the closet and had to change the beds. There was a used bandaid left in the Master bedroom. The beach buggy had flat tires, and though I requested they be aired up, no one ever came by. The front and master decks are dangerous. The kitchen is not stocked properly, and we only had one dish towel. The refrigerator door baskets are broken and in usable. The TV in the family roomIs so tiny, you cannot even watch it. Most computer screens are larger. The downstairs bathroom shower is rusty. When I spoke with the rental management company, they offered us a $50 gift card to a restaurant.
