We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for a large family. There were enough places to gather as a group or to get away to a private area. All the rooms were spacious. The kitchen was large and had plenty of kitchen cookware and utensils. The pool area was perfect for relaxing or playing games (corn hole, ping pong, foosball, etc) . The master bedroom was very spacious and private. The house was so quiet inside and well insulated, so we didn't hear talking and sounds from other rooms. The house was a very short walk to the beach, but also easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The island itself is very quaint and had some cute places to go, beautiful scenery and beaches, and very friendly. The one watchout we had was that there is mainly one grocery store in Captiva. It had almost everything, but of course a premium price. If you want to shop at chain grocery, you drive to Fort Myers (40 min), which by the time you factor in the gas and time, it is about the same to shop on the island. The speed limit of 25-40 for most of the trip is what makes it so long...and there are many police patrolling. Other than that, we loved everything. We will definitely be back.
