About this property

OPEN on beach higher floor 1/1 amazing sunsets from unit pool inside ss resort



New AC new furniture new paint new bedding

This is a one bedroom one bathroom condo inside the resort of south seas
It has a sleeper sofa bed for two persons but remember it is a sleeper and not as comfortable as a bed it is new but again it is a sleeper sofa

Full kitchen just renovated last year with granite counter tops
The patio is screened in
This unit of mine is in an elevator building not all beach villas have elevators and it is nice to have an elevator
Just steps to the beach and pool
You have use of 3 condo pools
Walking distance to many restaurants and shops plus a Starbucks

Beach is amazing long walks are great and I enjoy them

Elevators are functional but I make no guarantees as if they will be working during your stay due to the fact they are mechanical items I will not do refunds if elevator decides not to work during your stay

There is a large water park across the street from the building. Lots of families with kids of all ages so it’s loud when they leave their units and come back. Door slamming and loud voices. Also the walls of the unit are thin and you can hear the TVs in the units next to you. Don’t plan on sleeping on the pull out sleeper!

I never did hear a complaint from The guest it is a condo not a private home and you are next to other persons there are concrete block between units I have beer heard a TV from another unit. You do hear doors when people have windows open since they do slam. This is a resort with kids so if your not a family froendly person as this one is not maybe it’s not for you don’t think the environment deserves a two star review but this is how it is these days with guests. But again you come to a family friend resort and expect no kids that is not realistic and certainly not to give me a two star review for things not in my control. Not very nice

Wonderful Location & Property

Overall the stay at this property and the booking process was smooth from start to finish. The owner was very responsive, often returning emails within the hour (if not within minutes). The property location is phenomenal, and just steps from the beach. The unit was nicely arranged, well-stocked, and clean. There are plenty of cooking supplies if you choose to eat in the condo. There are also plenty of restaurants within a few minutes of walking or driving. Our 5 days there were terrific and I highly recommend you put this location on your travel list.

Can't play golf, use the tram, or buy food/beverages at the resort

This is a nice location, but because it was a VRBO situation we were not allowed to use most of the resort or buy food/beverages on-site. This should have been in the description.

DO NOT STAY HERE PLACE IS A HAZARD AND SO IS THE HOST

The place is under construction. Debree, porta potties, refridge in the parking lot, dumpster trucks, danger signs on doors etc. We were the only ones renting in the building. It was clearly under construction. NOTHING in the summary was noted except that the elevator wasnt working. Contacted host, completely unreasonable, misrepresented the property. Neglected to disclose residence was under construction and renovation.

Ok this is the WORST guest I have ever had I offered her a full refund when she called me and responded immediately my place is NOT under construction some other places are but not mine. She then stated no she did not want a refund then a few minutes later calls me back and says she wants a refund I refunded what I received from her stay then she proceeds to stay the entire time without paying EVERYONE needs to watch out this person is a scammer she makes stuff up says she wants a refund then stays in the unit I called the Lee County sheriff and they stated they did not have time and would deal with it in a few days and I had to make a formal complaint in writing and file a report NOT WORTH IT!!! so I just took the loss VRBO was no help either

Property with great location. Needs renovation.

Had to clean the floors upon arrival as they left our feet black on bottoms. Didn’t use appliances as we ate out. Refrigerator door rusted on exterior, but inside was clean. Mold on shower head, top of wall, curtain and suprisingly the lampshades in living room were moldy! Thankfully we brought our own sheets and many towels as few are provided. Property described as two floors when there was only one. I am a physician, my wife a lawyer, we will never rent thru Kim again.

I have changed cleaning companies and the person who looks after my units on captiva the refrigerator had some rust on it yes and I agree but it works just fine needs a new exterior panel. but again clean and works fine. the listing does not say it is two floors says it is on floor number two the guest misread that fact all one bedrooms are one floor only the top two floors are the only ones that are two floors

We enjoyed first and foremost the view from the balcony. Also, we loved walking to restaurants, sto

We also liked cooking in the well equipped new kitchen. Maybe adding paper napkins would be convenient along with the papertowels. Liked the art and soft color decor. Glass table a bit warped. The bathroom needs renovation. Double sinks, new doors, The bedroom, comforrable. The decor, too city like. A textured light colored bedspread instead of maroonish silk. Closet mirrored door need adjusting and the metal sliders are filthy and to be replaced. I would suggest hooks on the BR and Bedroom doors. We did enjoy our stay and loved the location. We walked everywhere. We would consider coming back . Your managers came promptly to replace the torn beach chairs and to address the wet furniture and the refrigerator door seal . Thank you again Kim . We loved Captiva
Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2019
Response from VrboOwner on Aug 12, 2023
really no room for double sinks and the doors are 6 panel I guess it is more of a decor issue than anything else with the sinks and colors and bedspread. the metal sliders are old and are being replaced this year when we are allowed to do renovations by the association only really a few weeks a year are we allowed to do a major item that may cause noise. Now as far as napkins I do not provide those all paper and soap products are paid as part of a linen and cleaning package. I have never had the request for napkins I am sure most bring their own if they like to use those instead of paper towels. all furniture and carpets were wet due to the fact the last guest complained they were dirty so they were immediately steam cleaned so it gets wet. we do this about every 3 months or when needed so it takes a day to dry and if it is needed we have determined better to do it and have the guest complain it is wet and not dirty My husband was the one that replaced the chairs in the unit he was there to do that for you.

Simple but Good Rental

Overall this was an easy rental. There was nothing special about the unit as it felt very stale with all white walls and furniture that was a little outdated. It does have new floors in the main living room but not sold on the rest. The kitchen seemed fine but we didn’t do much in there. The bathroom was dated, very small, but did the job. The shower drains very slow and I was standing in ankle deep water after a short shower. The host, Kim, was responsive before and during our stay but I had to call as I was never sent the actual address so I did not know the unit until arrival. All in all, we chose this unit because of location. Great location and affordable so that was good for a quick trip to Captiva. The interior could stand to be updated with a personal touch to make it more inviting but I would stay again. Keep in mind that the resort and surrounding areas are still under construction so expect that these do not look like they used to.

Disappointing

We have stayed in several other South Seas Plantation Condo's over the recent years, so our comments are based on comparisons. The "check in" process was somewhat stressful. The website did not provide the address to the Condo nor door code. After driving 4+ hours, it took about 45 minutes after we were suppose to check in to know the exact address and door code. Then we discovered the Dishwasher was broken, including the ice-maker in the freezer. We advised the Owner directly, but nothing was corrected during our stay ! The Tub/Shower had mold all over, as well as the Tub/Shower curtain. The Towels were very thin . . . like you would find in a cheap motel. Basically, this bathroom needs a total renovation. The only positive point was the Sunset's off the balcony. The overall condition of the Condo should be priced no higher than $ 125.00 / night !

sorry but guests need to read their emails for the detailed maps and arrival code I cannot make the guests read the emails I responded when they called but also the address is south seas resort there are not individual addresses since they do not have mail delivery. The dishwasher was not broken they just were not closing the door properly had maintenance check and also no issues with icemaker maybe they did not have the arm down we have to empty all ice prior to new guests arrival this is a health code issue I have never had complaints on the towels or linens so not sure what to say about it

About the host

Hosted by Kim Dennis

Host profile image

I have been coming to South Seas since my 18th Brithday. I am not going to mention how long ago that was but suffice to say that was a long time ago and I still love it!!!!

We have 9 total units in South Seas that we rent. We absolutely love this beach. The shelling is amazing. There is usually a very nice breeze and we love to sit on the screened in patio and watch the sun set. There is nothing like sitting and watching the sun set.

Why they chose this property

We love to vacation here it is very relaxing and has great sunsets.

• 15 magnificent miles of white sandy beaches and a treasure
chest of shells
• 74.4° annual average air temperature
• 77.5° annual average water temperature
• 7 days a week of trophy fishing
• 20+ miles of tropical bike paths
• 300 species of birds, 50 species of reptiles and amphibians,
and more than 30 types of mammals live here

What makes this property unique

access to beach chairs and beach towels this unit of mine is in an elevator building

I also have beach umbrellas but I do not guarantee a guest has not broken them since so many get broken without anyone letting me know. I do replace them every time I am there and check them for damages but again I do not guarantee them for your stay unless I have been there prior
