Condo was beautiful and very clean with gorgeous sand and ocean views. We could walk right out to the beach. The sunset views here were amazing! Pool was also very clean. We loved it and would gladly stay here again!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our beautiful property and great location. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
This is a nice unit. However, compared to other units we have stayed in at the Beach Villas, it felt a little cold and under-decorated. While the furniture and appliances appear to be new, it needs a rug in the living area and some more accessories for a warmer feel.

Thank you so much for the five-star rating and for choosing to stay with us at the Beach Villas! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the unit and appreciated the brand-new furniture and appliances.

The poor quality of the soap, shampoo and conditioner was inconsistent with the quality of the condo. It was too cheap.

Condo was very clean and well kept. Kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed to make for a cozy and comfortable stay. Views from the balcony of the ocean were beautiful. Would love to comeBack!
Construction in unit above, all day long. Very loud. Unit owner did nothing to make my stay any better. I ended up moving to Fort Myers. As I do understand these thing happen. They did not care.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sincerely sorry that the unexpected construction in the unit above disrupted your stay. I understand how frustrating it is to seek a relaxing getaway only to be met with noise.
While we do our best to monitor building schedules, this specific project was unfortunately outside of our direct control. We strive to provide a 5-star experience for every guest, and I regret that we missed the mark for you. I truly value your business and wish we could have found a solution that kept you in the area. We will use your feedback to improve our communication with the building management moving forward.
This condo was great. We were impressed at the cleanliness. The view was beautiful, and the walkway to the beach was close by. Overall, we would book this property again.

Thanks so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at our condo and were impressed with its cleanliness, the beautiful view, and the convenient beach access. We'd be absolutely delighted to welcome you back again!
Incredible property and experience! SO close to the beach, impeccably decorated, and super clean! Host was exceptionally responsive and helpful! We WILL book this unit again!
Loved it here!! Very updated and clean villa. So comfortable for our family of 4. Really enjoyed the pools especially the one oceanfront. Sunsets were stunning! Very conveniently located as well. Very short walk to the beach! Definitely will be back and recommend to friends and family.
When we arrived the unit was clean and nicely decorated. It was obvious the property was recovering from the hurricane. Otherwise our trip was very enjoyable! I would say this is a great option if your staying in Captiva.

Thank you for your positive review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at our condo and found it to be clean and nicely decorated.
We appreciate your understanding that Captiva is still in recovery mode after the hurricane. We're working hard to restore the island to its full glory, and it's encouraging to hear that you still had a very enjoyable trip.
We agree that our condo is a great option for those visiting Captiva, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future to experience the island as it continues to flourish.
We like being close to the beach and Starbucks and Captiva village.I called and asked for early check in- either I had a bad signal and did not hear him or misunderstood because we arrived at 1:15 could not get in and when I called they said you can’t get in until 2p! Kind of a pain…Everything else was fine.

Thanks for your feedback. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the location and its proximity to the beach, Starbucks, and Captiva village.
We apologize for the miscommunication regarding your early check-in. Our standard check-in time is 4 p.m., but we always do our best to accommodate guests when they ask to arrive early. We understand how frustrating it is to arrive and not be able to get in, and we'll be sure to review our procedures to prevent this from happening again. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with a seamless experience from start to finish.
We stayed here wondering how the Islas had fared after the hurricane damage. They see working on restoration but it will take a very long time

Thank you for your feedback. We understand that the island is still recovering, and we appreciate your recognizing the restoration efforts. We hope that despite the ongoing work, you were able to enjoy your time at our property and the many beautiful aspects of Captiva that remain.
Phenomenal place location and condition right on beach next to pool. Great parking. Elevator. One flight up. Unreal sunsets! Would love to go back in October but concerned about hurricane season. Can owner assure full credit towards another booking if risk of storm impacts trip?
We have stayed in other condos in this complex and this one was furnished nicer and the kitchen and bathroom had both been upgraded recently. All brand new appliances. Our only complaint was that the hot water needed to be hotter.
