Happy at Life's a Beach

Lots of space, very clean, and cute decor. Close to beach and village.There was a broken down cardboard box containg a belt of nails at the base of a tree in the front yard and bathroom sinks were clogged with hair and slime.

January Captiva trip

Our family likes this house and location. This was our second time staying[.here; after 3 hurricanes. Unfortunately the weather was cold, rainy and windy. I can't find fault with the house. Iit is modest, not glamorous. The only thing i would say is that the living room sofa is very uncomfortable but if the weather had been better we wouldn't have used it so much. 1

Perfect getaway property!

I’ve been coming to Captiva for over 10 years, but always as a family trip. This is my first time coming as just a couple, and this house was the perfect size for the two of us! You also can’t beat the location. Very clean property, great communication from the property manager, and loved the jacuzzi!
