Beautiful ocean and bay view!

Location of the property was great. We loved the ocean view and bay view. Being adjacent to the small grassy airstrip wasn’t a problem. We enjoyed the occasional planes landing and plane takeoffs. The kitchen is well stocked with necessary items. Appliances are updated and great with the exception of the toaster oven, which doesn’t work. Beds are comfortable. There is a sufficient amount of linens. The bunk room, original front porch entrance turned bunk room, is miserably hot. Our people couldn’t sleep in it, therefore, had to sleep on the living room sofas. The master bedroom needs a privacy door due to the fact that there are only 2 bathrooms for a house that sleeps 14 people. One of the bathrooms/toilet area has no locks on the doors. Again, this is a problem with a lot of people and only 2 bathrooms. The room next to the bunk room, turned into a bedroom, has no privacy. The makeshift door doesn’t lock and has no wall above the door therefore all noise is heard. Has no overhead lighting which makes it very hard to see at night. The room has a beautiful view though. The charcoal grill needs to be replaced. It’s not usable. There are a few newer beach chairs but most are broken and not usable. Not nearly enough chairs for large groups. There are only 2 useable beach umbrellas. Others need to be trashed. Many of the pool/beach toys need to be tossed, as well. It was great to have 2 golf carts that carried 10 people, however, they’re also in need of repair. It’s obvious that the owner has tried to update the home, but it has lots of repairs that yet need to be addressed. Some of the railing and siding are loose, rotten and unsafe. We felt the house moving almost constantly. I’m not sure if this is normal for a house on stilts or not though. We enjoyed our stay at North Captiva Island! The owner, Maria, and Tortuga Properties were very responsive and helpful.

Gorgeous!

This property was amazing! It had everything we needed for our family, who was on the island for my sisters wedding. The pool was a hit with both children and adults and the kitchen and open floor plan made spending time together so easy. I highly recommend going to the deck at the top of the house to watch a sunset…it’s absolutely stunning. The only complaint I have is the communication with the property management company. One of the air conditioners went out and I sent a text to let them know in the evening, knowing it most likely wouldn’t be addressed that day. I got no response. I texted them again the following morning and received a response saying they would be by to look at it that morning. No one ever came nor did anyone reach out. Later that night while at my sisters wedding, I sent a text upset (it was over 80 degrees in the house) and got a response that someone had been by two hours ago but had looked at the working AC unit and assumed everything was working fine. I had to explain it was the other AC unit. They went to look at it and was unable to fix it and sent technicians the next morning. They were able to fix it but It took over 24 hours with little communication to get it addressed. This was my only complaint. I would definitely stay here again, I just hope for better communication from the management team.

Upon check in we started finding numerous things not cleaned, not stocked, or not working.

First thing we noticed when we arrived was the shower was filthy dirty with a giant wad of hair stuck to the wall. Next we discovered there was one half gone roll of toilet paper in the entire unit. Several hours later they brought about 7 rolls for 8 people for a 6 night stay. As we got ready to cook dinner we discovered the fridges weren’t cooling properly and our groceries were all warm. There was two completely empty propane tanks for the grill. It two days and two requests to get a full one. There was no laundry soap in the unit. It took four days and three requests to get laundry soap. The hot water in the master shower didn’t not work. We notified management the first evening that it wasn’t working. They sent two cleaning ladies and two maintenance men over the next morning. The cleaning ladies each had one rag and a bottle of spray. They were in and out in 5 minutes and there was still hair in the shower after they left. The maintenance guys ran the water for about 10 minutes and said they would return the next day with a part to fix the hot water. That never happened. All 8 of us had to share one shower the entire trip. Also the door handle to the only bathroom with a working shower did not latch or lock, it did not function at all. Between the condition of the property and ineptitude of the property management I would not recommend staying there. I took numerous photos of all of these things and I wish I could share them so the next person doesn’t end up in the same situation as we did. Also the golf carts in the listing are not the ones we got. The two we had were run down beat up carts. The 6 seater went about 3 miles per hour and the brakes on the 4 seater didn’t work.

We love N Captiva !

White Shell offers a great location, well stocked kitchen, 2 golf carts which run well and are great for larger group, lots of communal space, and lovely pool. Tortuga property management checked with me regularly to make sure all was going well. Loved the communication. They sent someone over right away when the pool needed cleaning and they were promptly there to pick us up and drop us off. Love the ability to text them if they are needed. The house itself has 5 sleeping areas and 2 bathrooms. The layout makes privacy a bit challenging as only one bedroom has a door that totally closes it off from use by others. To access one bathroom you must go into the area of the master bedroom which you can then see into. Another bedroom has a door but above it is an open space so all the noise from the living room area can be heard. The crows nest has no door so again, noise travels to it. If you are a group of family/friends it's ok, but more privacy might be desired by some. Overall being on Captiva makes it all well worth while! Thank you for making your home available to us!

A much needed to get away

I had recently lost my husband a few months before this trip and decided to take it anyway with my family and friends. Maria made us feel so very welcome and was genuinely caring and concerned about our stay. I can't thank her enough for how eager she was in making us feel welcomed! She checked in from time to time and was very easy to work with. Highly recommend 🙂
