Perfect place for our small group

Many of the homes are still being repaired on the island so it was nice to find a place that was up and running. Host stocked a lot of snacks, coffee and spices that really helped our stay.

The home was clean and bright.

Stayed here with my family over New Years and had a wonderful time. The island itself is still being cleaned up from the hurricane but was not a problem. And the home was renovated and complete by the time we arrived. Thank you. A few houses down from the beach was perfect location. The golf cart was fun to use to explore the island and drive to the club.

This place was the perfect get a way for my 15 year old daughter and I. We love the beach and the island was nice to spend time together. The house was very clean and had so many games and things to do. Gaby was wonderful. We will definitely be going back.

Family friendly

We had a wonderful stay at this home! It was incredibly family friendly, stocked with tons of games and beach supplies! The location was absolutely perfect, a short walk to the beach and quick golf cart ride to Mangos. We were pleasantly surprised with how clean and well stocked the home was! Gaby was easy to talk to and very responsive. We hope to be back soon!

A great time!

We had a great time at this property and plan to return! It was very clean and had many of the things you need so we didn’t have to pack! The beach is very close and an easy walk! The golf cart is left at where the ferry drops you off so it’s easy to get to the house and saves you money. We were very impressed by everything. Thank you!!!

Fantastic stay

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The communication from Gaby and VRBO was perfect. The house was great. Just as advertised. Really comfortable and clean. The location is really good. We kept our boat in the marina so it was a 5 minute golf cart ride back and forth which was really easy. Also, walking to the beach was super easy. Can't wait to come back and stay on North Captiva again.

Awesome Place!

The island is amazing. It’s fun to explore different areas everyday while also being able to stop and grab a drink from one of the bars on the island. The house was immaculate and our communication with Gaby was fantastic. We were not sure what to expect but she helped us every step of the way! We will be back!

Absolutely adorable!

My husband and I went down for a quick weekend and staying at the Tequila Sunset was the perfect choice! Beautifully decorated with great layout! Anything you need is right there! The host had everything you would need or even think about in home. It was one of best rentals on island imo! Especially for two people! Thanks again, Gaby!!

25th anniversary

It was everything we hoped for and more. We’ve never seen a home so stocked and ready to just come in and feel at home. Unfortunately I got sick on the trip and had to seek help from the fire department as to what the process would be to see a physician but other than that we consider the trip a huge blessing. Would definitely recommend this home.

Wonderful house-Great location

We have been to the Island multiple times but this was the first time renting this home. We absolutely loved it. The house is cute, cozy and clean. We loved the location to the beach! Seriously a short walk. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit especially since it was a little chilly the past week. We had a couple questions upon arrival and communication was awesome! Very quick response time. We are already planning a trip back to this house in March!!

Peaceful and cozy

Perfect house with plenty of games and outdoor activities to do at the house, very short and beautifully scenic walk to the beach with the trees and mangroves, the kids loved the pools and July 4 activities. The host was easy to communicate with—with quick responses. The shelves were stocked with snacks should we need them, other essentials in the house made it easy for us to cook. A basket with sunscreen and bug spray was available as well. Wagons to take to beach as well as chairs. This house had all we needed and more. Highly-highly recommend!

A wonderful place to relax

When you arrive on the island, you feel like you're in another world. Incredible nature: we saw turtles, numerous bird species and even manetees while kayaking.The house is inviting and only a few meters from the beach where we spent a lot of time.The facilities are good, the beds incredibly comfortable. The host was always available for questions via WhatsApp.

Beautiful property on a beautiful island! The property was very nice and clean. Host answered questions very quickly. I do think the damage deposit is very high and I was a little stressed about the refund process (which is VRBO not the host). The refund took a full 2 weeks from VRBO. I’m only including that fact in this review in case anyone else is curious about it.

Perfect Island getaway

This house was perfect for our group. There were plenty of beach towels, bags to use to take to the beach and indoor/outdoor games. The beds & linens were extremely comfortable! The house is very private & peaceful. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing after long days of activities & quite large. The house was stocked with snacks, food & everything we needed for cooking. They even have a waffle maker! The only thing we needed for smores was the chocolate. It even has popcorn tubs for a movie night! The host was wonderful! She made sure we had everything we needed and check in & out was a breeze! Thank you for all of the thoughtful amenities, we will definitely be coming back to stay again!
