Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We are thrilled that you found the unit clean, comfy, and convenient to everything the islands have to offer. We really appreciate the suggestion regarding the cookware—it’s feedback like yours that helps us improve. We’ll be sure to add a larger pasta pot to the kitchen immediately for future guests. We would love to have you back again soon!
We quite enjoyed the 3 nights we spent in Captiva and the condo was great! it had everything we needed and was exactly as depicted in the photos. The owner/manager was very quick to answer any questions I had and very accommodating to my requests. It was pretty chilly while we were there so we did not spend as much time on the beach as we may have, but enjoyed exploring the island on a golf cart one day and took a ferry to Cabbage Key too. The owner/manager was helpful in helping me find good companies to use for both! For anyone visiting in better weather, the proximity to the beach cannot be beat and the views of the sunset were stunning. I would definitely stay here again given my overall experience, including how responsive the owner/manager was.

This beachfront unit is beautiful and comfortable. Easy access to beach, pool and walking distance to local restaurants.Easy check in. Well appointed. Would suggest a dead bolt on the outside door for added security while inside the condo. Also would have appreciated some beach chairs for guest use. We loved it.

We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you found the beachfront unit beautiful and comfortable and that the location provided easy access to the beach, pool, and local restaurants. We are also happy the check-in process was smooth and the unit was well-appointed.
We appreciate you bringing a couple of suggestions to our attention:
Deadbolt: We understand your request for a deadbolt for added security while inside. While the digital lock meets all insurance and building code requirements, we will pass this suggestion to the owner as they consider future security upgrades.
Beach Chairs: We apologize that you missed having dedicated beach chairs available. We will review our inventory for this unit immediately to ensure we have quality beach equipment stocked for all future guests.
We are so glad you loved your stay, and we hope to welcome you back to the beachfront soon!

Excellent property surrounded by beautiful beaches and homes. The walk to the beach takes just a minute, and of course there are all the shells you could ask for. The home was clean, all furniture was nicley kept and the kitchen was well appointed for cooking. We were happy to see that Captiva and Sanibel have recovered.

We are so glad you found the property excellent and that you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. It sounds like you had the perfect island experience, from the convenience of the one-minute walk to the beach to finding all the shells you could wish for!

More than anything, your comment about seeing the resilience and beauty of Captiva and Sanibel's recovery means the world to us and the entire community. We are incredibly proud of how far the islands have come.
We hope you'll choose to stay with us again soon to enjoy the beautiful beaches!
The property was very well maintained and had everything we needed. There were 5 of us , and there was plenty of room to spread out. We loved the location - right on the beach with views of the sunset from our patio. I would definitely book again.

The property matched the pictures exactly. The place was very clean and had plenty of space. The view of the beach was very nice, especially for sunset. I would say the while the deck furniture was fine, I would prefer more relaxing/lounge type of future instead of the high top table and chairs. The service they provide for beach rentals had everything we needed, only negative is that they require you to have your items ready for pickup by 6am on the day of your departure, so you cannot use it at all on your last day.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We're delighted to hear that the property matched the pictures exactly, was very clean, spacious, and that you enjoyed the beautiful sunset views from the beach.
We truly appreciate you bringing up the feedback regarding the deck furniture and the beach rental pickup time. We apologize that the current high-top setup wasn't ideal for lounging—that is an excellent suggestion, and we will certainly look into providing more comfortable, relaxing options for our deck furniture in the future.
Regarding the beach rentals, we understand how frustrating it is not to be able to use the equipment on your departure day. The 6:00 AM requirement is a policy set by our third-party vendor to ensure they can manage their logistics and prepare the equipment for the next guest check-in. We've passed your feedback directly to them, and we are exploring options to see if we can offer a more flexible solution for guests who want to maximize their last day on the beach.
We hope these minor points didn't overshadow your overall positive experience, and we'd love to welcome you back for another stay soon!
We had a great time at this condo. Pics are accurate, bed is very comfortable, everything you need in the kitchen and steps away from a beautiful beach. The area is still very much recovering/under construction from recent hurricanes but it didn’t affect our stay. And very convenient to rent beach chairs/umbrella and have them delivered to condo.
