Beautifully maintained particularly on the heels of Hurricane Ian. The owners obviously care deeply about this slice of heaven and worked hard to be able to share it with others. Well done! Great memories for our family!

Clare – Thank you so much for the amazing review. The entire island community has rallied post Ian and we are so happy to have you as our first guests since reopening.
You were an incredible group to work with and we would love to host you again! Guest experiences like yours is why we worked so hard to reopen.
We were thrilled to hear you enjoyed your dolphin and sunset cruise with Captiva Cruises. Their outings are always a highlight of our guests’ vacations. Chef Jamie also loved being back on the island and cooking dinners for you.
Thank you again for the trust you put in us to make this a memorable vacation for you and your family!
My sister and my family spent the week in this amazing home. It was impeccably clean. It had everything we could possibly think of on site.. the kitchen, family rooms and bedrooms were luxurious. The beach was glorious with blue green water right in front of our house and a pool and jacuzzi that made it hard to leave. Amazing communication from hosts that just wanted you to have everything you needed.

Thank you Margaret for such a wonderful review! It was truly our pleasure to host your families and I’m thrilled our team was able to provide you with outstanding service. We are so happy everyone had a fabulous time enjoying the stunning beaches of Captiva. We look forward to hosting you again at a Drip Castle Estate Collection Villa.
Magical! Our family was blown away by this gorgeous house. From the moment you pull in this property feels magical. The rooms are beautiful. The views are SPECTACULAR. The fully equipped chefs kitchen, private balconies, and the fire pit are only a few of the high points for us. Vicki, our property manager, was exceptional. There was nothing we needed or wanted that we didnt have during our stay. The only problem at the end was that none of us wanted to leave!!!
This house was the nicest I’ve ever rented. It simply beautiful. Stunning view, professional team to work with, breathtaking interior design. All the bedrooms were fantastic. Everybody had the time of their life. I hope to come back soon!

Mayrav and her group were outstanding guests! They were extremely respectful of the property and took full advantage of experiencing every amenity they could. This included arranging a delicious chef dinner, beautiful sunset cruise and exciting fishing charter. We would love to welcome them back anytime!
This property was a dream. Michelle made the process super easy and the property exceeded the listing. The home was spacious enough to vacation with family without all of us being on top of each other. The beach is as close to private as one can get.. I only saw the neighbors 2x's on the beach and they were walking by.. Ultra private, clean and spacious.

Lisa, we are so happy you were able to enjoy the Estate with your family for your birthday week celebration! We are looking forward to welcoming you back again!
I cannot say enough about the property and Kyle with Drip Castle. Our experience was first-class, from start to finish. I embarked on a journey to create a once in a lifetime experience for my wife’s 40th birthday, and Kyle and his team brought it to life. If you’re looking for a seamless process, filled with beauty and world class amenities, look no further than Sea Palm…..you will not regret it!!! Thank you so much Kyle, Drip Castle, and all of the vendors that made this possible!!

Gary, thank you so much for the kind words! We were so honored you picked us as the spot to host the surprise birthday vacation for your wife. It was so much fun to plan the activities with you, including getting you a personal bartender for delicious beachside cocktails, unforgettable sunset cruise, luxurious massages and fun fishing excursion. You were wonderful guests and we hope to welcome you back to Sea Palms or one of our other Drip Castle Estate Collection properties.
Stunning views from the best looking house on the street! Plenty of room for a large family gathering!! Relaxing and private! Beautiful memories to last a lifetime!
9 high school seniors and their 9 moms...18 women in one house and nobody killed anyone because this place had so many places to seclude yourself and more than enough places to congregate without ever feeling cramped. The bedrooms were more than ample...the gathering places were the same. The thought process on how this house should function was spot on! Everything you need in the kitchen (and didn't know you needed) was supplied. Sunsets were easily accessible from every level of the house. The majority of this house's living spaces faced the ocean/beach which is one main reason you stay on the beach. Tons of beach and lounge chairs to take to the beach with umbrellas along with beach games and water activities. This is a perfect house for large gatherings. 2 dishwashers in the kitchen, 2 stove tops, 2 ovens, 2 drip coffee makers (1 even so you can grind your own beans) and a keurig. Super private with just the right amount of beach "traffic" to please the moms and girls. This is not the typical MTV spring break draw but it's just what we wanted...we made our own fun because the house and location supplied just what we wanted with quick access to the darling little town and beach. And Covid restrictions were very lax...BIG plus. Could go on for days on how we loved this place. Heck, even Vicky (lead cleaning crew lady) came over one of the nights to take group pics of us...I mean who does that?! Thank you to her and Kyle, our concierge for paying to every detail and making this a senior spring break memory that topped the charts!
We stayed with our extended family, a group of 17, and couldn't have enjoyed this home more. Most wonderful was the private beach, with hardly a soul for a mile either direction. When it was time to cool off, the climate-controlled pool was large and inviting. We never fully utilized all the spacious living areas, and the bedrooms were wonderful. A great night's sleep every night on the mattresses, and luxury at every turn. We used the huge kitchen daily for family meals, and the appliances were all top notch. The team was easy to reach by phone or text, and made sure our every need was met throughout the week. Highly recommend!
Where do I start, this is one of the most beautiful properties we ever stayed in, and we travel a lot. It's beyond what we expected. The place was super clean + sanitized. The owners and property manger are super helpful and amazing. So many cool little restaurants and stuff to do. West Coast of FL is our new favorite destination. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
