My husband and I were so glad to have the week of spring break with our son and his family. This home worked out perfectly with my husband and I downstairs and our son and his family upstairs. The kids loved the pool and games and we all loved the proximity to the beach , shops and restaurants. The house was welll furnished and had everything we needed to fix meals together and just enjoy our time. 5 stars!

Perfect location
The house was exactly as portrayed. Walkable area for restaurants and shops. Sunrise and sunset in a few minutes walk. Beautiful outside pool area. Very clean. Royal Shell was promptly responsive with an issue with the grill. Family of 6

Superlative in Every Way
Lovely layout in this home with its 4 king sized bedrooms (plus a comfortable den with trundle bed). The house was thoughtfully designed, from the lower level poolside lounging area, to the beautifully decorated main living area with updated fully equipped kitchen and separate large dining room, and up to the third level gorgeous master bedroom plus two more bedrooms all with private bathrooms. The house is also perfectly situated, with easy walking distance to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. The owners have also equipped the house with beach and pool accessories and plenty of enjoyable games. We were charmed by Captiva, and LOVED our time in this home!

Great beach trip
Very nice house fully stocked for the beach going group. Location close to shopping; restaurants but brought everything with us to Captiva. We have 11 ppl; all were very well accommodated. Only the screen over the pool was not in place during our stay in July.
Carol is great!

Fantastic Family Holiday
We could not have been happier with our stay! The property and the "supplies" were more than we knew we needed. The house was immaculate and all the comforts of home. Close to the beach and in our minds, the best spot for miles. Carol was always quick to respond and extremely helpful. Our family agrees it was our best trip ever.
We hope to be back!!

Family vacation
Beautiful property just a short walk to restaurants and the beach. We had plenty of room for all five of us. We really enjoyed all shells on the beach and the pool. Definitely recommend going on a dolphin sighting cruise or fishing trip.

Great Location and House
Enjoyed the stay as the house was equipped with everything you will need for the beach and lots of stuff for the pool as well. The two wagons made the short five minute walk a lot easier in the heat and the kids loved the shovels and beach gear that was left in the garage. Will stay again if we come back to Captiva!

Amazing time reconnecting with Captiva!!
The house was spectacular! Better than advertised and photographed. It looks like a major remodel was completed since the last pics were taken and everything was top notch. The outdoor area and pool were phenomenal. The kids loved it and swam for 5+ hours everyday. The house was loaded with beach essentials. My 6 year old caught an amazing snook just around the corner. Carol the host and Royal Shell were a winning combo. Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect family home
Perfect house for our family. Short one block walk to the beach. Just a few steps to the store. Patio with a roof for those quick Florida showers. Restaurants if you want within easy walking distance. Plenty of space to spread out in the house. Owners thought of everything to make our beach days Perfect. We did not lack for beach toys, coolers, or chairs at the beach. Perfect!

Life long friends' annual vacation
Absentminded welcomes its guests with a warm and homey atmosphere. It meets all comforts beautifully from the spacious and great mattresses in the five-bedroom suites to the well-equipped kitchen The living room space is perfect for gathering. The pool area and half bath by the entrance is a fantastic feature, as is the one car garage space. It allows four vehicles to be parked.
We loved the replete turtle theme and the signs in each bathroom ;). Lots of good times were had by all guests.
All best to the hosts for their future Captiva life.
Sincerely,
Michela Tobin and Friends

Absentminded
Great location - great stay. We truly enjoyed our time at Absentminded. We love Captiva, and this was our first stay at this property. It was clean, decorated really nicely, and had all the amenities that we were looking for. My wife is in a powered wheelchair, and the elevator access to all the house was perfect!
A couple of notes though for future guests -
First, there were no staples in the kitchen. Not even salt and pepper... So be prepared to buy everything you'll need to cook with. A few small items would make a big difference.
Second, the screened in pool/backyard, as shown in the property pictures, isn't screened in. I can understand that Ian damaged it, but the listing should be updated so people aren't expecting it.
Other than those small items, everything was great! We were unfortunate in the weather while we were there though - a forming tropical depression hovered over Captiva for four of the days we were there. Massive rains that eventually overflowed the pool...

Absentminded is everything it promises and more!
We booked this a year in advance and we were blown away with location on Captiva- can walk everywhere! We loved the amazing gorgeous upgrades to the home not even pictured yet, The home is even more beautiful than pictured online and more spacious than can be perceived in photos. The house was sparkling clean and a decent starter set of items. We loved all the beach (wagons, sifters, chairs, surf boards) and games ( jenga was always in evenings and giant connect 4) & grill amenities. All questions we asked before our stay were answered so kindly. We actually met the owners as they were leaving on our way in finishing the absolutely stunning pool deck remodel- so lovely and helpful. Excited about all the work put into their home. Just be aware the lanai is not present that is pictured and you need bug spray. Even with fans, mosquitoes were relentless, especially if really susceptible to them. No sitting outside for morning coffee on decks without spray. I know they are in the works to remedy that and it is a huge task. There is so much construction on the recovering island. It did not take away from our joy in loving the stay-just part of the review. We loved that on the end of the street to the right a block was sunrise and just a few blocks to the left was beach and breathtaking sunsets. 4 huge spacious bedrooms with bath & the little study with trundle bed was a treat for the little. You have so much to offer in your home. Thanks so much. Can't wait to stay again.

Amazing Week in Captiva
Stayed for a week at Absentminded with my wife and our 4 kids of varying ages. We had an amazing time. The house is beautiful and had plenty of space to spread out. it's very close to the village but the landscaping beautifully surrounds the property so you feel you are away from it all as well. The house had everything you could need. It even had coolers that we used for a charter fishing trip that we went on. Carol was easy to communicate with and was very helpful with information prior to our arrival as well as during our trip. this trip was for our daughter's sweet 16 and it was one to remember.

Outstanding
My family consisted of 4 adults and 3 teenagers. This home is outstanding. There isn’t anything you need because the home is equipped with everything except beach umbrellas which was fine with us because we brought our own. It is a short walk to the beach and restaurants. We rented bikes at Yolo (very reasonable prices) in advance and they were dropped off at the home when we arrived. Our days consisted of the beach during the day and then we would spend the evenings at the pool. The owner Carol is very sweet. I texted her numerous times to ask some questions before arrival and she was very accommodating. I would actually say she was one of the best owners to deal with when renting a home. 5 stars for Carol and thank you so much for offering your home to us on VRBO.

As promised
This home was exactly as described and more. It had absolutely everything we needed. We have stayed in many rentals and this one was at the top of the rankings. In addition , we had some problems with late night noise coming from some nearby renters and when I called the owner about it, the problem was addressed immediately and solved. Three flights of stairs were difficult for some of us senior citizens but if that is not an issue for a large group, this is an awesome find.

Best week in Captiva!
Had a great week. The house had everything we needed and more (for a large group of varying ages). A few minor issues were immediately addressed by Carol - who was over the top responsive. And a Royal Shell person even stopped by to fix something on Easter Sunday. Parts of the home/pool are showing some age but otherwise would def come back. Location
Is unbeatable. Thank you!!

Amazing Week at Absentminded!
We loved Absentminded - it had everything you could possibly need from beach supplies to kitchen essentials. It was very clean and extremely well decorated. We were in the heart of Captiva and could easily walk to anything we needed. I couldn't recommend this property more! We cannot wait to stay here again!

オーナーについて
オーナー : Carol Barnett
We are from St. Louis and know how captivating Island living is for us Northerners and have looked for years for that perfect home and place. Absentminded in Captiva Island is truly a beautiful home in a perfect island spot.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
We love the charm of Captiva Island. We vacationed here for years with our girls, later with our friends and it was an easy decision to make this paradise our go-to spot. It's a little bit of heaven right off the Florida coast! Truly one of the very few places in the USA where you have that island feel and look!! One of those places that is free from the fast pace of the city (and many tourist locales). No buildings are allowed higher than the island's palm trees. Your family will feel safe and is a perfect place to relax and just have island fun. And our guest's reviews validate that our beautiful house is in perfect shape and located central to everything in the Village/Beach area.....bottom line that Absentminded will help deliver those wonderful family memories. Captiva homes traditionally rent from Saturday to Saturday. During the off season we are somewhat flexible so please contact us on how we can make your vacation plans more accommodating.
TOP SEVEN THINGS TO DO IN CAPTIVA FOR OUR FAMILY 1) Rent kayak (with or without guide) at J.N. Ding Darling Preserve via Tarpon Bay Explorers 239-472-8900 or take their pontoon cruise around Tarpon Bay OR Rent kayak (with or without guide) at Tween Waters 800-223-5865 (both of these kayak trips are equally fun and educational 2) Rent boat for pure fishing or rent boat and travel to North Captiva bars/restaurants or Cabbage Key (piloted or bare-boat options) Jenson's Marina 239-472-5800 3) Take a Captiva Cruise 239-472-5111 out of McCarthy's Marina or South Seas Island Resort to Cabbage Key or Useppa Island (and almost guaranteed to see dolphins close up on the way) 4) Crab Races on Monday/Thursday at Tween Waters with family shows at 6 and adult shows at 9 5) Explore the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge 239-472-1100 or just visit their Education Center 6) Shelling at Captiva Beaches or renting a boat for uninhabited islands 7) bike riding
この宿泊施設の特徴
Our house is truly amazing and will pamper you in every room. And when your beach day is done, our amazing three story screened in enclosed pool is a perfect spot for an afternoon nap or just to play games or swim in our large pool with your family and friends. Florida is truly in the tropics so a screened-in pool area is a must have! And, 50% of the pool area is under cover and did I mention that we live on an Island (AKA rain a is not a stranger ). Absentminded is conveniently located to all Captiva has to offer. The beach is just a short stroll across the street and down the sandy path of Laika Lane and yet only a block or so away from such amazing restaurants and bars like the Bubble Room and the Mucky Duck.
All of the restaurants in the Captiva village area are within walking distance of the house. Parking around the island is very limited so that is a big plus.
A couple more hints about our island living....... in the little strip center across the road from Doc Fords there is a Starbucks at one end and a small shop with a few grocery items as well as sandwiches at the other end. At the corner of Andy Rosse and Captiva Drive there is another small market, The Island Store, that has a little bit of everything including groceries and a liquor store. Around the back of The Island Store you will find Molly Malone's which is the local seafood shop. It is not open everyday or all day but it is very good and very convenient! Check the sign for hours or just ask inside the store. Finally, next to RC Otter there is Latte DA also serving coffee as well as ice cream.
We typically do a little grocery shopping in Fort Myers before coming over to the island. Prices are better and there are several stores (i.e. Publix) on the way . Once you are on the islands, there are two nice grocery stores in Sanibel.....Bailey's and Jerry's. The selection is nice though prices are a little higher than in Fort Myers.
