Very nice house, close to the beach (10 minute walk), great communication/response by property manager. Only negative was that the price was a little high and then VRBO charges some hefty fees on top of that.

Thank you for the four-star review! We are so glad you enjoyed the house and found the 10-minute walk to the beach convenient. It’s also great to hear that our team was able to provide the clear communication and quick responses we strive for.
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the total cost. While we work hard to keep our rates competitive for the area and the quality of the home, we understand that third-party service fees can certainly add up.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to one of our properties in the future!
Pool had some issues but management company was very responsive to any issues during our stay. We had a great time.

Thank you so much for the 4-star review! I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful house and location—it sounds like you made the most of that golf cart for your final island run!
At Dream Vacation Rentals, we strive for a "no-surprises" experience, but we know that high-end amenities like hot tubs can sometimes have a learning curve. I am glad our team was able to get back to you quickly to help you get it up and running so you could enjoy a soak. Also, please don't worry at all about the dishwasher! We want our guests to focus on enjoying their last few moments of vacation, and our cleaning team is more than happy to take care of that for you.
It was a total pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back for another beautiful stay (with even more golf cart adventures) soon!
The home was spacious and clean with plenty of room for a family get together. The location was great with a short walk or cart ride to eats, beach, etc. The host made it easy and answered questions quickly. Great stay and great memories!

Thank you so much for this incredible review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful time and that the property was the perfect setting for your group of 10 adults.
We especially love hearing that your mother-in-law claimed it was the nicest place she's stayed in yet—that is truly the highest compliment we could receive!
It sounds like you really made the most of the amenities, and we're so glad the pool, hot tub, and the game/theater room provided the fun and relaxation we intended. We're also happy the location worked out perfectly for your needs.
We would be delighted to welcome you and your family back for another stay! Please reach out when you're ready to plan your next visit.
Unfortunately there were many maintenance issues. The 2 worst were the water pipes vibrated loudly and kept us awake and the fridge was broken so much of our food spoiled. On the 5th day they finally fixed the fridge but after 3 visits by 2 different tradesmen, the pipes are apparently a more major construction issue.

Thank you for providing this feedback. While I am glad we were able to get the refrigerator resolved for you, I am sincerely sorry that these maintenance challenges impacted your stay. We strive to provide a "no-surprises" experience, and it is clear we fell short during your visit.
Regarding the refrigerator, we understand how frustrating food loss can be and regret that the repair took longer than expected. As for the plumbing, please know that we took your reports seriously and had multiple tradesmen on-site to address the noise immediately. While they were able to diagnose the issue, you are correct that it requires a more extensive structural repair that could not be completed while the home was occupied.
We are currently working on a permanent solution to ensure this doesn't happen for future guests. We value your business and would love the opportunity to make this right; please reach out to us directly so we can discuss this further.
We really enjoyed our family vacation! The property was perfect for our needs. The family enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Location was just a short walk to the beach. Will definitely stay again!

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the pool area and amenities; our team works hard to keep them beautiful for our guests.
We are truly sorry for the issues you experienced during your stay. We understand that a leak had just occurred, and we appreciate you being so understanding about that matter. However, a septic tank backup is unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize for the distress and inconvenience it caused.
We hope the 50% refund we provided has shown how seriously we take these issues. We are addressing the maintenance problems to ensure this does not happen again. We value your business and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a flawless experience in the future.
This was the perfect house for a 3 generation get together. Not only was it comfortable but there was something for everyone to do. The short walk to the beach was an added plus. Hope to be back there in the future

The house is in a wonderful location and has plenty of room for 2 to 3 families. The highlights of the house are location, the pool, the screened-in side porch and the basement movie/game room. The kitchen was well appointed and we appreciated the many beach towels provided with the house.

Thank you so much for your review. The home is so special and very unique on the Island. All of us worked so hard and try to earn a five star review each stay. We'd love the opportunity to welcome you back and show you an even better stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Stayawhiles! The house was amazing! I wish we would have known that they had plenty of bench chairs, cooler and everything really you needed for the beach - as I would not have rented a thing and spent $260!! The kids loved loved the pool/slide and movie theater. Would recommend to anyone!

Thank you so much for your glowing review of Stay a Wiles! We're thrilled you and your family had such a wonderful time.
We're delighted that you found the house amazing and well-equipped for your beach adventures. We always aim to provide our guests with everything they need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, so it's fantastic to hear that we exceeded your expectations.
We apologize that we didn't communicate clearly about the beach gear we have available. We'll definitely make sure to highlight that information more prominently in the future to help our guests save on rentals.
We're so glad your kids loved the pool, slide, and movie theater! We designed those amenities with families in mind, so it's wonderful to know they were a hit.
Thank you again for choosing Stay a Wiles, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable vacation soon!
This house was great for a family vacation, plenty of room for Parents, Kids, & Grandkids . The house had plenty of beach chairs, beach towels for all of us and two wagons to transport items to and from the beach. I would recommend a good pressure washing of the pool area, fix the fan for the grill.

Thank you so much for your review and we’ll look forward to welcoming you back. Thank you so much for letting me know about the pool and grill fan as well. We’ll get right on that.
This home was a wonderful base for our stay on Captiva island. We were a group of 9 adults so the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms worked perfectly for our group. The proximity to the beach was fantastic, as well as the stock of beach accessories that were used daily. We spent most afternoons by the pool, the slide was a hit, and the lanai made for a little amount of bugs and some sun protection. The games/media room was great for evenings after dinner! Unsung hero of the trip was the ice machine! It was a great home!

Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that our home provided the perfect base for your Captiva Island getaway. It sounds like the multiple bedrooms and bathrooms were ideal for your group of 9, and we're glad you enjoyed the beach accessories, pool, and lanai. The game/media room and ice machine sound like they were big hits too! We appreciate you sharing your experience - we look forward to hosting you again soon.
the only thing I would suggest is a list for people to add to their grocery list. Salt/pepper/papertowel/coffee filters. Also need kitchen towels

Thank you so much for your review. Per the State of Florida, we aren't able to keep any food items, however, we do provide a starter supply of soaps and paper products. We break that down your confirmation so there are no surprises. Hope you had a great time and we would love to welcome you back again soon!
We had a wonderful time at this vacation house! The online pictures are very accurate and house is very well stocked. (From past experience at other rentals, I know to bring extra beach and kitchen towels.)
We had a couple minor issues and the management team responded immediately.
The only thing I would change is to have the deck area around the pool cleaned with a power washer and bleach.

Thank you for your review and so happy that you had a great time. We do have all of our properties on a pressuring washing schedule. With the summer rains and heavy use, it can do a number on those areas. We’ll certainly make sure to get anything tended to right away
The hot tub could have been hotter. You had to select to heat the hot tub versus the pool, wish the heating systems were separate. The pool had to be fixed for us to control it. The first day or two had to be controlled remotely but it did get fixed on Monday. Big thanks!The property is really amazing & we definitely enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for everyone to have their own rooms and bathrooms. The common areas were amazing as well.Wishes:1) Better description about the beach items in the garage. We didn't need to rent so much of beach chairs, etc.2) Lights on the outside stairs to the front door (at the base of the step), weren't lit. It would have been safer for our elderly moms if they had been.3) The vents in several of the bathrooms didn't work.4) Request for a throw carpet under the large dining table on the main floor. The chairs make a very large noise when they are moved.It really is a beautiful property, hope it can continue to be well maintained.

Thank you for your very kind feedback! We are thrilled you found the property really amazing and that the room layout was perfect for your group.
We sincerely apologize for the initial issue with the pool control, but we are glad it was fully resolved quickly. We also understand your frustration with the shared pool/hot tub heating system and your specific suggestions regarding exterior lighting and a dining room rug to mitigate noise.
We have addressed the lighting and the non-working bathroom vents immediately. Your valuable suggestions regarding the heating system and the dining area are being passed along to the owner for future maintenance planning.
We truly appreciate your stay and hope to host you again!
This is a great house in a wonderful location. It is close to everything and has a ton of high end features. The property is well maintained but definitely had several things that didn't work properly like lighting and things that were broken and not fixed. Given the high cost of this property, it would be nice if lighting worked consistently and toilet seats weren't broken. Also, the rental company only provides one pool/beach towel per person. We felt like we were constantly having to wash or dry towels. When asked if they would provide more, they said no.

Thank you so much for your review. Very happy that you had a great time. I’m not sure on terms of the lighting or a toilet seat having an issue. If that were the case we certainly would have had Maintenace on that right away. We also provide beach towels for each guest as a courtesy. Many agencies either don’t provide them or make them an extra charge, however, we want our guests to have the best time as possible and not worry about those items. We do understand you may have to place them in the dryer from time to time, but we are trying our best to provide a great home for all of our guests to enjoy.
The house is a 5 star. Property management responded quickly to our email on the shower door off track, pool light not working etc. However, the property management would state that the issue is forwarded to maintenance. Only issue visited was the shower door. We were told they would be back the next day to fix. Never came. Never heard from them. Customer service is the soul of a 5 start experience. Overall, the family had a great time. Just details were not addressed by maintenance or incomplete resolution.

We value your feedback and will address these concerns internally to ensure better communication and timely resolution of maintenance requests in the future. We're glad that your family had a great time overall, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future, with a fully resolved 5-star experience.
