This vacation far exceeded any expectations I had. Charm and Brian are wonderful hosts. The best, very very helpful with the how's and what's to vacationing on North Captiva Island.
They met us on the dock when we arrived on the ferry to get our luggage and ourselves to their place, that was great for us!
Charm and Brian's place is the best...fully loaded...the kitchen had everything you would need! Dishwasher, refrigerator has an ice maker...very nice! Lots of comfy places to sit, to watch TV, play games or to just visit! Our bed (the king) was very comfortable.
By far our favorite part of Charm and Brian's place was the pool area, we were in the heated pool everyday, it was wonderful. I personally loved the outdoor round daybed, took several naps on it!
Lots of comfortable sitting by the pool also...our own private oasis with beautiful landscaping and vegetation...simply wonderful!
We got up early like 5am to go shelling, we found amazing shells and lots of living creatures, super FUN!
Restaurants: MANGOS: open everyday, bar food...burgers, wings, pizza etc...fun atmosphere and friendly service!
BARNACLES: open every day, good food, good service! My son had the Mahi Mahi rueben super yummy and the Philly steak was great too!
The Boathouse: you need to go to their website to make a reservation, do this before you get to the island, our food was fabulous from the mozzarella cheese sticks to the ribeye and shrimp...yummy!!!
Over the Water: we were not able to eat here...must make reservation a week in advance...but heard it's the best place to eat on the island!
We saw several dolphins, turtles, lizards and birds...lots of fun wildlife!
On Fridays there is a little flea market thingy with about 5 or 6 vendors selling artsy stuff from 10 to 2pm...that was fun!!!
My husband says he wants to move there and live on the island...lol
Best vacation EVER!!! We will be back!!!
You will NOT be disappointed, Charm and Brian are great and their place is fantastic!!!
