We had a very memorable week at Gumbo Limbo on North Captiva! Sandy was a terrific host and the home was everything we had hoped for and more.

Best Spring Break Ever!!

Magical island property, perfect fit for our family of four. We loved access to TWO swimming pools, the tennis courts, and endless beach exploration. The house was perfectly appointed, well designed, and we felt right at home upon arrival. Sandy is a true gem - quick communication and thoughtful welcome gifts for the fam. Highly recommend - you will make incredible memories!

Gorgeous home with everything we needed for cooking and beach fun! Really appreciated access to the two clubs' pool and amenities- quite a chilly week so it was great to be able to hit the pool and get out of the wind at the beach.

This is a beautiful and well maintained rental property. My kids and I really enjoyed our stay on North Captiva and in this property.

What a gorgeous little house on a gorgeous little island! The house is clean, decorated perfectly and has everything you need. The couch and chairs are so comfortable and so was the bed! We loved this little place and had a great week on North Captiva Island. Sandy was so great to deal with and answered every question we had. Favorite part was the sandbar at the beach where you can walk so far out into the ocean and watch dolphins swim by and collect sand dollars! Oh yeah, don’t forget to get a pina colada at Mangos!

What a wonderful property on an amazing island! Our first trip to NCI and we fell in love with the island. The simplicity of each day was such an amazing break from daily life - no shoes required basically. Gumbo Limbo was by far the most well-appointed property we have rented. The kitchen was outfitted to such a better degree than anything I've seen - kitchenware, pots/pans, blender, ice cream maker, ice maker, the list goes on. Given the need to bring groceries to the island, having a well-equiped kitchen was huge. Otherwise the house was immaculate, well designed and functioned perfectly. For a family of 4 it was just right - not huge by any stretch, but life on NCI is outdoors! Outdoor shower was a huge plus as well. Sandy was super responsive to all of my questions both before and during our stay, can't say enough about the experience from this perspective.Would highly recommend a stay at Gumbo limbo, not one thing to complain about!
