This was our first trip to North Captiva and had no idea what to expect. From the moment we booked this home, we had great communication from the owner, Margie, and North Captiva Island Club. Through their guidance, we perfectly coordinated transportation to the ferry, ferry to the island, delivery of our food, and a quick check in process. The folks on the island run a very smooth and organized operation.
The house was exactly what we expected from the photos - clean, nicely decorated and spacious. Our family consisted of 6 people over the age of 18. There was ample room to spread out. We spent tons of time on the screened in patio and loved the hammock. The thermostat is set at 75 degrees, which we thought would be on the warm side but the house was so cool and comfortable and after a day in the sun, we all put on sweatshirts at night. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed when we ate at home. We did have some issues with the grill which we understand is being tended to, but we just prepared meals in the kitchen instead.
We have read several complaints about golf carts from other rentals and were a little worried but our golf cart was perfect- great speed, easy to drive and reliable. It is a very short drive (totally walkable) to the beach passing tortoise, lizards, even crabs was so much fun.
We highly recommend renting this home. It felt like we were in paradise for the week!
