The house is a great size for a big family. It had things that would be needing for cooking and hosting a big family. It could benefit from going through things and getting rid of broken beach chairs, umbrellas and things of that manner.

We enjoyed hosting your family and hope to host you again!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Captivation. We do not have a hot tub, it is sometimes mistaken as one because it looks like one in the photos, but in the description we call it a spillover tub. The dryer has a recalled start button. GE sent one prior to your stay, however that part is also defective and we have new parts on their way. We hope that you enjoyed your NYE on the island and we would love to host you again!

Great Vacation!

We've been going to North Captiva Island for many years, normally at the beginning of June and in November. Captivation house was one of our favorite houses by far! It had everything we needed for our group of 13 and Duncan the property manager and his team was excellent! Would absolutely stay at Captivation again!

We had a great time at Captivation. Plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the pool area especially the little kids. It was quite an adventure getting to the island and planning the logistics and the grocery list but it was well worth it. We found the property managers to be very accessible and responsive.

Enjoyed our large family stay

We had a large family vacation on the island and 1 of the 2 houses we stayed for a week was captivation. There was plenty of space for grandparents,kids and grandchildren. We spent a lot of time at the pool area enjoying the space and amenities. Property managers quickly responded to anything that we needed. Great job guys and thanks for helping our family make memories! Highly recommend

Awesome island getaway!

The house was amazing, clean, very spacious, and stocked with everything you need and more! The pool was amazing and we loved the games provided. Cooked dinner every night in the fully stocked kitchen, saving us a ton of money. Our kids had a blast playing while the adults relaxed. Property manager was phenomenal with communication, and answered every question we had. Highly recommend Mango’s Bar and Grill - awesome potato salad and buffalo chicken wraps!! We will be back!

Perfect House on North Captiva!

First, the pictures do NOT do the place justice. The spaces are much larger than they appear in the picture. There are so many areas to go escape - bedroom, TV area, decks, pool, etc. The fact the pool is covered is a huge bonus. We spent each day lounging in or by the pool, playing ping-pong, or watching sunsets from the roof deck. Fantastic location for the beach or walking the preserve. Would recommend this location above any others we've viewed or stayed at!

Family and Friends vacation to North Captiva

The house is spacious with great amenities. The covered outdoor pool area was great with Ping Pong, corn hole and an outdoor bar/bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped and with four bedrooms/bathrooms there is more the adequate space for two families. The views from the 3rd floor deck are awesome. But remember you are going to a barrier island. When there is an issue it's not simple to get fixed.

Wonderful Place!

We had the most wonderful time staying in Captivation! Tortuga was amazing trying to accommodate us with an early check-in due to impending bad weather. When we got there there was no pack-n-play, just an empty box and we were delivered one within a few days. They delivered our groceries a day early and We made a mid-week grocery order and it was delivered with no issues. The house is very spacious and the pool is wonderful. There are some cosmetic issues but overall the place was great! We will be back for sure!!

Great Family Vacation home

Captivation was the perfect home for our family holiday! There were three generations of family and we all had a wonderful time. The way the house is laid out is perfect. We loved the lower level with all the games and the pool bar and fridge. And all the views! So much outdoor space, everything was perfect. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The property managers, Tortuga, were very responsive and accommodating, but luckily we didn't really have any issues. This was our second stay on North Captiva, but with a much larger group, and being able to stay at Captivation made this trip more memorable as we got to experience it with all our siblings, nieces and nephews and parents - I highly recommend this home! We home to return some day!
