WOW was the most amazing vacation we’ve had and we’ve traveled to alot of different beach homes. It was the perfect size and everything was updated and perfect! It had all the essentials needed both in the house and on the each. We couldn’t be more happy with the experience and the host was very good and informative about exactly what we needed to do to get to the island. We for sure will be back next year and recommend WOW to everyone!

Incredible trip! The pictures are what you get (but in person is better). I doubt there’s many better places to stay on North captiva. Private beach, can see sunrise and sunset from the house (amazing sunset view). We would recommend to anyone. It was perfect for our family of 7 (with one infant). We will look forward to staying at WOW again.

We absolutely loved our stay at W.O.W. The home is comfortable and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was just amazing and well-equipped. The bathrooms were spotless with great water pressure. Being right on the beach provided endless enjoyment as we watched the water, the boats, and the birds!

Wonderful location and house

My family has stayed at w.o.w before, and each time we have had a great experience. The view from the dining room is awesome (we saw manatees, dolphins, birds, etc.) and we love being able to just walk out the door and be on the beach. We will definitely be back again.

AMAZING STAY!!

As soon as we arrived to the island it felt amazing the house was a 5 minute drive from the ferry dock and when we got to the house it was beautiful. The views were incredible, the house was in perfect conditions and was equipped with everything necessary.

Beautiful view and great home!

Place was just as advertised. Location was amazing at the north tip of North Captiva. On a dead end so almost no traffic or noise. Home was in great shape with nice bathrooms, cute 4-bunk room, and great kitchen/dining area. Owner was super quick responding to messages, usually within minutes. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome vacation home!!

My family and I had a wonderful time at WOW. The views are amazing from the dining room and living room. We saw manatees and dolphins and even had a dolphin come into the shallows to get a fish! The house was very clean and looked just like pictures, and had tons of board games and water toys. We will definitely be back next year.

The WOW home is exactly what the pictures show it to be. You cannot ask for a better view or better proximity to the beach. Literally steps to the beach. My family and another (4 adults and 2 12-year-olds) had plenty of space. 2 bedrooms have a king bed and an attached bathroom with shower (very updated and clean), and the kids’ room has the 2 bunk beds and an adorable bathroom in the hallway. The views are just incredible from the living room windows. We saw dolphins one morning, manatees at the dock, and LOTS of wildlife, such as turtles, different types of birds, crabs, and lizards. We loved exploring the island on the golf carts! The Island Club pool was large and super fun for the kids. They also offered delicious food and drinks. The home had every kitchen item you would need to cook a meal, including a variety of spices and seasonings. There was also a game cabinet! Everything in the home felt and looked updated and fresh. The beach has PLENTY of shells to choose from! We brought some beautiful shells home. I would suggest bringing water shoes, especially for young kids, as the shells can be a little sharp as you’re walking down into the water. Wendy was an incredible host. She was so responsive and helpful and answered all of our questions with detail, and she gave us every bit of information we needed to get to the island. WOW’s location cannot be beat. The views are amazing. It looks like you’re floating on top of the water!!

Manatee's Aplenty!!

Just loved this property it was perfect for my family. My spot was in the small chair in front of one of the 7 big windows and enjoyed seeing so many manatees and dolphins plus sting rays. The property had a lot of items that you don't think of like spices for cooking. Would recommend this property because the view is awesome.

Family and Friends Summer Getaway

This was our first time staying on the island and it was amazing! We enjoyed every second and did not want to leave. The house was as expected with great views of the water where we saw dolphins and manatees. We ate empanadas at a nearby stand. It was the perfect getaway for our two families. Wendy was an amazing host and helped us with all of our questions, while offering up recommendations!

Great Experience!

Beautiful house within steps of the ocean. Private beach. Views from the living and dining areas are terrific. We saw stunning sunsets and lots of wildlife. Well appointed and clean house well stocked with kitchen and household needs and supplies. In advance of our arrival, the owner provided very helpful detailed information and advice regarding the house, the ferry, the island, etc.
