Get away to Paradise

This house was beautifully decorated, impeccably maintained and the locations was idyllic. First time in Captiva and it was truly beautiful. The house had everything you could need and more, I will recommend it to all my friends. Albert, the property manager, was also very nice and accommodating.

What a PERFECT place to decompress!!! Adorable, well fitted out cottage. Plenty of room, great rear deck to watch the sunsets from. Sub Zero fridge, Viking induction range, Weber grill (with plenty of gas). Bring your Firestick or Apple TV box, they easily hook up. ‘Can’t say enough about this excellent property & location. Easy walk to town, your own private access just over the dune to miles of perfect beach line. Sanibel shopping is an easy 15 mins, Mainland about 25 mins. Pro tip: Grocery shop in Fort Myers before driving out & you can live like ‘Robinson Crusoe’ in perfect island idyll.

PERFECTION

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just returned from staying the last week of April,2023. This cute little Beach House was perfect for us. Walk out directly onto the beach from both the living room and master bedroom. The house was super clean and everything was even better than the pictures on the website. If you want to spend a relaxing laid back week on the beach just "chilling out" then don't look any further than this. Its close to the village area on Captiva too.

Fabulous Fabulous Beach House!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this gorgeous house for one week! Absolutely loved it. It is everything and more you could possibly want in a beach house. The views, sitting in the living room, the bedrooms and the lanai are breathtaking! The entire back yard is perfect. We could not have been happier with it. The house itself is perfect. The kitchen is completely updated with the best appliances and stocked with everything you need. Bathrooms are updated and beautiful. Giant televisions in living room and bedrooms. Honestly, the view of the beach is so wonderful here, it is Captiva Island at it's best. Can't wait to return in '24!!!

Outstanding location

We loved our stay -- the house was nice and clean. It had what it needed. Being on the beach was fantastic -- very nice. From the back sliding patio door (heavy too open for frail people or tiny kids) it was a 100-150 yd walk down to the water. House came with umbrellas and beach chairs which was awesome. Literally the only issue we had was the oven did not shut fully -- the door was constantly a quarter inch or so open, and so the oven light wouldnt turn off, and therefor using it to cook was impossible. additionally the conduction cook top either burned everything in the pans, or cooked extremely slow. This is just a preference thing, but the conduction cook top caused every bit of food we made in the stainless steel pans stick like no other. It took immense scrubbing to get the food removed from the cookware. We cook because we were feeding 3 little hungry kids every morning. We used salty golf cart rental which was awesome!! Make sure if you rent a golf cart and have kids they are in a car seat, or you will get pulled over. we did. the sheriff was thankfully nice, and did not ticket us. But they are serious about traffic rules unlike other islands we've been too such as Anna Maria etc....Captiva is a great place though. Coming back nicely after Ian.

Perfect stay!

This place checked all of the boxes! Cottage charm, perfect location (walking distance to restaurants, activities and shops), private beach access, and updated decor/furnishings. We felt so much at home that we wish it was ours to keep/own!

Loved our stay at The Beach House!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was wonderful! The house was perfect - enough space and comfortable furniture and beds. The outside area was amazing!!! The only thing I would change would be to add more glasses - there were only two wine glasses - and include some cleaning products. We flew in and buying all the cleaning products - sponges, laundry detergent, items to clean the counters - is expensive for such a short stay. We would definitely stay again.

Beach House - We'll Be Back

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Beach House suited our needs and expectations very well -- as would be clear from our re-booking for the same week next year. The location is a definite high point -- facing the beach, off the main road (thus quiet) and a short walk to the "center" of Captiva.Its lay-out and simple furnishings were comfortable and functional. Herewith small-scale observations, not detracting from our overall up-beat views:A couple of modest amenities would be useful -- luggage racks for packing, and additional towel racks in both bathrooms. Also - understanding (and not disagreeing with) the "bare cupboards" approach, it would still be convenient to provide an adequate week's supply of basic household products -- garbage bags, laundry and dishwasher pods, paper towels and TP -- given the distance and traffic to markets for renters and the difference in economics when management can work in bulk.Last - a usual quibble with a vacation property is the low quality of kitchen knives, which matters to anyone doing any cooking. Surprise - the Beach House set was top quality -- but (!) they have degraded to terrible condition, actually a safety issue, and should be cleaned and sharpened by someone qualified to do so. Thanks and we'll see you in a year!
