Enjoyed Compass Rose

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Compass Rose. Jenny, our host did a great job of checking us in and then assisting us in getting to the ferry when we left the island. This a a great location and the house had everything we needed and more. The interior is a little more dated than it appears in the photos, and will possibly be in need of some upgrades soon, but this did not detract from our stay in any meaningful way. Overall this was a great experience.

Compass Rose has everything you need to have a great vacation. It was just my husband, myself, and our pup, so we obviously had plenty of room. You can see the water and the beach from the living floor easily...which is important to us. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Compass Rose is a perfect vacation property. Super close to the beach, beautiful views from their numerous decks, Great living spaces, inviting pool, and oh so many games (board, puzzles, cornhole, ping pong). Property manager was so quick to respond and was always willing to help. Wifi isnt the best...but hey, it is an island...at least they have wifi. It was a great vacation - highly recommend!

Presidents week getaway

The property easily accommodated 5 adults and 2 teenage. Kitchen was well stocked and organized. Rooms were clean and private. We enjoyed the views from the roof sitting area. Caretaker was magnificent-picked us up at the dock and brought our bags into the house, gave us the island tour, We'd stay there again. Would have liked better lighting in the bedroom and living area though.

Amazing Views, GREAT location

Our first trip to the island. The location of the house was incredible. Super easy quick walk to the beach, we really enjoyed that the views from the main living area of the house where we spent our awake time were so beautiful. We loved having the private pool and used it often. Everything’ just as described. The sunset views from the roof are memorable. The owner and property manager communicated perfectly from day I booked the house until the day we left. Would definitely stay at this house again.

Perfect location and great house

This was our second visit to North Captiva. This house was wonderful. The location is great, you can easily walk to the beach. All household supplies were provided, which was very convenient given that otherwise you have to bring those items over on the ferry.

Great escape from winter

We had a great time at the Compass Rose. Daniel was a great host and his house was better than expected. His pre-stay advice was helpful and thorough making this "slightly" out of the way experience, exceptional. We appreciated all the amenities that were at the house already (bikes, kites, kayaks, lounge chairs, pool toys, and even extra batteries). We were able to enjoy vacation without really worrying about anything other than watching the sunset every night.

Thank you for the kind review Douglas. You know it's been a great vacation when your only worry was watching the sunsets! North Captiva is indeed slightly "out of the way", which make pre-trip support and on-site property management crucial elements for a successful vacation experience. My team and I work hard to make it all happen!
