Nice house in a fabulous location! As longtime visitors and previous residents of Sanibel/Captiva we enjoyed our return visit to the island after Covid and devastating hurricanes. The house was large enough to accommodate our extended family.
This home was perfect in all ways for our family dream vacation. Room for everyone, there were seven of us, ages 73-8. Big screen enclosed pool area with ping pong, pool, tiki bar, grill and more. A cooks kitchen, everything needed to cook family meals. Comfortable beds, large bathrooms. Walk to beach, just about 100 yards. All the beach paraphernalia, umbrellas, chairs, toys for the kids, I could go on and on as to why this house was the perfect place for our family vacation. The Bubble Room, ice cream shop, and convenience store all in just a short walk from the house. Bonus view, an huge Osprey and nest. Craig our host was extremely responsive. Absolutely loved our time here.
Great spot on Captiva, house is super nice. Quick walk to the beach (maybe 2 mins?). Great pool area if you get tired of the beach.

We loved our stay at Tropical Breeze. Lee and Bonnie made it even better by welcoming us and giving us a great tour of the fantastic house. The house has everything you could want and more for a perfect vacation week!

Thank you, J.G., for choosing Dave & Kelli’s “Tropical Breeze”. We enjoyed hosting the birthday party. Are there bananas in this review? (Sorry, folks. Inside joke). Lee
Everything from the check-in, to the amenities, to the cleanliness of the house, and to the location or just fantastic! Lee and Bonnie were the perfect hosts showing us what we needed to know at the very beginning and always being there if we needed them.

Thank you, Phil. Dave and Kelli are great homeowners with whom to work, and we are blessed with a wonderful cleaning, pool and maintenance staff. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to help you make great vacation memories!
We couldn’t have asked for more! The location and house were outstanding. We loved the short walk to the beach and to restaurants and shops. The house was also super well equipped, better than any property we’ve ever stayed at on the island. We loved the huge screened in pool, deck, and tiki bar area. Lee and Bonnie were also super helpful upon entry to the property. We will definitely be back again!

Thank you for your kind words, Megan. We understand how unnerving it can be to “take the plunge” on renting an unfamiliar vacation home. We’re glad you chose Dave & Kelli’s “Tropical Breeze”, and we’re happy we helped you make great vacation memories. Lee & Bonnie
The home lacked absolutely nothing in terms of amenities, updates and how well it was equipped. It was comfortable, spacious with both privacy and well appointed. Our family totally enjoyed it. Thank you!
4 couples spent the week here celebrating a birthday, walking on the beach, playing pool and ping pong at the house, swimming in the heated pool, enjoying local restaurants and just relaxing. It was a great place for all of this! We all had our own spaces and the together spaces were wonderful! Great week with great friends in a great house!

Great week, great house. But most of all, great guests! Thank you for choosing Tropical Breeze.
The home was amazing! It was clean, very spacious and had everything we needed in the house and for the beach. Plenty of beds and room for 10 adults. The pool, ping pong table, pool table, and tiki bar were a great hit when we were not at the beach. The host was great. Captiva is back! Most businesses and restaurants were open. The live music at the restaurants was great. I highly recommend this house and a vacation to Captiva

Thank you for your kind words, Chris. Everyone on Captiva and Sanibel have worked hard to recover our beautiful islands from the hurricane, and your great vacation and testimonial are the rewards we’d hoped to achieve. We truly appreciate you.
We were a family group of 10. Ages ranging from 13 to 74 and the property was a perfect vacation place for everyone. Pool table, ping pong were very popular with the adults and kids.
Lee was very helpful and accommodating. We will certainly recommend to our friends.

Thank you, Kathey, for your kind comments. See you next year!
Lee and Bonnie were there when we arrived. They walked us through the property and had taken care of everything. Extra precautions were taken in addition to the requirements for COVID cleaning. We had a wonderful time and made lots of great memories.
Tropical Breeze is the perfect property for families and friends. It is steps from the beach and it is a beautiful home. The kitchen is kitted out extensively to cook, bake and serve at scale. Multiple refrigerators and freezers helped us to stock our big shopping for the week. Lee and Bonnie are wonderful hosts. They personally welcomed us and helped us with any questions that we had.

Thank you, Missy. Tropical Breeze was honored to be part of Alexis’ Sweet 16 memory.
We absolutely loved our stay at Tropical Breeze and highly recommend this property. The house is beautiful and was the ideal space for 5 couples to enjoy. The proximity to the beach and to all of the local restaurants including an easy running route to see the manatees at South Seas couldn’t have been better. We loved the dolphins at the beach and all of the amenities provided.
Lee took such amazing care of us! We also added cleaners 3x's during our stay which was such a bonus. The second floor terrace was a great place to enjoy the late sunshine and the pool was a fun spot for early evening fun. Can't wait to return!

Thank you, Jen. Glad we could play a small role in helping you make great memories on your special birthday!
The hosts Lee and Bonnie were awesome. Before arrival helped us know what was there and who to contact for rentals. Lee answered immediately if we had questions or issues Their home is perfect location to the beach- just a 2 minute walk. Most restaurants are at the opposite end of street or next street over - easy walk or we took a golf cart. The house layout worked out great for our family of three generations. Everything is very organized and clean and decorated beautifully.
Their downstairs enclosed pool area and game room was perfect for the toddlers who asked as soon as they got up to go to the pool! We had a very enjoyable stay and highly recommend to everyone.

Thank you, Betty, for your kind words and for choosing Dave & Kelli’s Tropical Breeze! We’re so happy that our little slice of paradise helped you make great family memories for your special birthday.
We’ve vacationed on Sanibel and Captiva for decades as a family, and I can honestly say this was one of our favorite vacation homes to visit. Upon arrival, Lee was at the house and ready to greet us and show us around. The location and proximity to the beach can’t be beat! We noticed the cleanliness of the property immediately. Even the beach chairs had been dusted of sand and were ready for use. Everything has been very well thought out for the perfect beach vacation. There were plenty of floating toys for the kids with an air compressor to blow things up (huge perk!). The outdoor shower was perfect for cleaning up after the beach. Plenty of beach towels to go around. The pool area is lovely and so entertaining. With the pool table and ping pong table, even with the rain we had, there was something fun for us to do. We loved the space in the kitchen. It had everything you could possibly need. Very well appointed! Thank you Lee and Bonnie! You made this trip very special for us!

Thank you, Laura! We know this was a bittersweet vacation for you after your family’s loss. And we’re glad you made great memories in spite of the rainy week. Haveva great year, Lee & Bonnie
We spent a wonderful week at tropical breeze with adult kids and grandchildren and this house was perfect!
The location to the beach is just steps from the front door and we spent most of our days there. When the kids wanted a “change” they’d switch it up to the very comfortably heated pool.
The home was spotlessly clean. The kitchen is appointed with everything you could need to prepare any meal, ( we were there for thanksgiving and pulled off a traditional roast turkey dinner)!
The bedrooms are spacious and they even used the master bedroom closets to set up pack and plays for the kiddos!
We enjoyed the pool and ping pong tables in the evening and played games by the tiki bar.
It was ideal!
Lee was over the top terrific in his communication, kindness and generosity. There were gifts for the kids when we arrived and he even loaned my son in law his personal golf clubs!
I cannot recommend this home highly enough. It was worth every penny and we hope to return someday!

Linda & Troy: Thank you for your kind words. Having perfect weather for the entire week certainly made your vacation a dream. If the golf clubs broke 90 with Dan or his partner, it will be a first for them! Best wishes, Lee & Bonnie
We stayed a wonderful week at Tropical Breeze. We have stayed at many houses in the area from North Captiva to Captiva. Really can’t say enough about the house, location and the helpfulness of the property managers.
We arrived on a very early flight- 7:30 am. By the time we arrived at the house after doing a few things it was before check in. Lee ( manager) allowed us the use the pool, beach towels, beach equipment and change in the tiki pool bathroom.- Prior to checking in. Which in turn we were able to check in early because it worked out.
Everything about the house was perfect. Very spacious for 10 people. Everyone had a space to unwind by themselves and great areas to congregate. They young adults loved the tiki bar area with pool and game room area. The kitchen was so well equipped even though we really didn’t cook that much!!!! Two floors of bed rooms with each floor having their own washer/dryer, can’t go wrong.
There were other hidden gems to this house I didn’t even realize until we got there. To many to list. Trust me loved the house. There were 2 families ranging from 82 to 16 years old. I have to say the first rental we all agreed on to rent again.
The walk to the beach was very short and easy. There were 2 carts to hale the stuff which had chairs for us all and umbrellas. Good beach towels were provided.
The manger Lee and his wife Bonnie were incredible. Whenever we had a question or concern they answered our text immediately. They were very accommodating and very thorough with their care of the property.
I would suggest anyone looking for a house for a large party to rent Tropical Breeze!!!🌴
Ps they have an outdoor air compressor to blow up your Floatable’s for pool and beach. How many houses are say this!!!! 🌴❤️🏝⛱🐠

About the host
Hosted by Craig Burroughs
We had been visiting Captiva for years and fallen in love with it, the next step was to buy the home of our dreams, our family and friends have loved vacationing at Tropical Breeze.
Why they chose this property
Once we saw the house we knew it was the perfect home for our family. A perfect venue for familys of all ages. Just 3 homes from one of the best family safe beaches in the world.
What makes this property unique
Simply one of the finest homes on Captiva, it provides everything you could require for your stay in paradise.
Tropical Breeze is privately managed. We we were frustrated with our experience with rental agencies, they never provided the service we required for our guests, everything provided was cheap and of the lowest quality, and the house was dirty because their cleaners didn’t care. Spend 1,000’s dollars to rent a home and have a few mini soap bars, 3 dishwasher tablets and thin poorly laundered bed sheets.
As the caretaker and host at Tropical Breeze for owners Phil & Natalie Buckingham, my wife, Bonnie and I will personally handle your reservation, make sure the home is generously supplied with bath soap, laundry detergent, dryer anti-static sheets, dishwasher detergent, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper, salt & pepper, pre-measured coffee packs, sweetener, and ice… all the things you often need to waste time purchasing when renting though a rental agency.
Lee will meet you at our home on arrival. He can organise rentals of cribs, bikes, kayaks, golf buggy’s, organise trips or activities for you if you wish, and can also facilitate the stocking of food and drinks etc before you arrive and makes sure the house is in perfect condition for you. We are proud of the fact the house is always spotlessly clean.
There is a reason why Tropical Breeze has consistently received the reviews it has, we love our home, and so do Lee and Bonnie and we want you to have the best possible vacation.
