Top Hotels Near Cayo Costa Beaches in Captiva

"If you want to be close to the water and beach, hear the waves, enjoy the sunset, this is place to stay on North Captiva! No other place is closer, or has a better view. Big on the Beach is it! Thanks to Bob and Wendy the place was ready for occupancy. They picked us up at the docks, carted our luggage to the house, and gave us a comprehensive orientation of all this spectacular house has to offer. When our week was up, Bob and Wendy were again there to help. Thank you! The house was immaculate and well suited for super large groups like our own. It offered plenty of beds and convenient bathrooms for all of us. And the kitchen is well equipped for fixing large meals or casual snacks for large groups. Much thanks to Bob and Wendy for making this a pleasant family vacation, and to Stephanie (the owner) for sharing her wonderful house and spectacular location with us. We love Big on the Beach!"

"The host was available day and night! "

"The house is beautiful, and the location and view is great! However, we had a list of issues. NO hot water until our last day (so - cold showers), a broken chair, the pocket door to the bath was stuck in the wall so we could not close the door where the shower is, no vanity lights in that bath - just wires showing, a broken screen laying against the house and 2 piles of animal feces on the balcony that the host said they'd clean up (we ended up doing it ourselves on our last day), the lights in the patio/entertainment area did not work, the water dispenser in the fridge did not work or the ice maker and we could not use the tap water as the reverse osmosis system was in-op making the water super salty and unusable for drinking or coffee. We contacted property management about the chair and hot water on the first day, then as the other issues arose. We also contacted the host. The hot water was the only issue resolved - on the afternoon of our last day. I asked our host for some reimbursement who forwarded my message to the prop mngt company. We requested 750 of the 2800 we had paid. Laurie at Tortuga (who was very responsive during all of this) sent our request to the owner and he never responded to either of us. I know problems arise and can be harder to address on the island. However, the silence from the host in the end - to not even address our request, is very disappointing. I feel like how a problem is addressed can speak volumes on how you do business. "

"Host was great in helping us find accommodations last minute and handling anything we needed during the stay. Very nice quiet property."

"We have stayed at many different houses on the island this this one is for sure one of my favorites. The kitchen had all the gadgets including an ice maker that came in very handy. Definitely the coldest AC on the island! The heated pool also had cooling feature which we really appreciated cooling down after those long hot summer days. The property management staff was on point. Anytime we needed something fixed or addressed they were attentive and quick. Very happy with our stay overall. The only extra thing that would have been nice to have would have been bikes for the tweens to get around the island on their own."

"This house was a great place to stay on North Captiva. The property manager is fantastic and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable and to help with all our needs from finding a place to dock our boat to an extra golf cart and so much more. If you are looking for a great place with an amazing view this is it! "

"We loved the outdoor patio and view! Excellent outdoor furniture! "

"Well I love this house so much I don’t even want to share it but I can’t be that selfish. From the views to the accommodations this house is absolutely perfect for a family or a couple say celebrating their retirement?! We watched both the sunrise and the sunset from the fourth level balcony. Swam in the pool everyday and enjoyed the views from inside and out! The owners put a lot of thought and effort into making this the most perfect getaway and we’re so grateful to them for their efforts! Thanks so much to all involved, Sarah, Kale, Debbie and of course to Denise for the beautiful memories!See you again! "

"We had an amazing vacation at the White Pelican. Everything was perfect and everyone was very attentive. Thank you for the memories! We will definitely be back"
