Experience Captiva Island by staying in a completely updated 3-bedroom direct gulf front condo. Our top-floor beach villa has sleeping for up to 10 guests and access to the association amenities, including multiple heated pools, tennis courts, BBQ grills, laundry, and, of course, the world-famous Captiva Island beaches. Completely updated throughout. The main level features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, both with king-sized beds. Upstairs is a bedroom in the loft with two full beds and a full bathroom. Please note that there is no elevator in this building, and it's on the 2nd floor. We're also not part of the resort, meaning that you won't have access to the resort amenities, including the north end pool complex, resort restaurants or eateries, the 9-hole golf course, trolley, or other resort amenities. While you won't have resort access, you won't need it as our association provides access to multiple pools as part of the Beach Villas, tennis courts, BBQ grills, the beach, laundry, and more. There are several wonderful restaurants just outside the gates of the resort, and being at the South End, you can easily get into the Village area of Captiva for shops and dining. You'll also never pay a resort fee, save about 50% compared to resort rates, and choose your exact unit ... such as ours, which is completely renovated. We'll look forward to welcoming you soon to South Seas Beach Villa 2028.

Creating memorable holiday experiences for our guests is what we strive for, and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back for many more Thanksgivings to come!
This property was perfect for a short weekend trip. Right on the beach, next to a pool, and a short walk from old town Captiva. The kitchen was really well appointed and the screened in porch was especially nice.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful views and amenities during your stay with us. We strive to provide a memorable experience for all of our guests, and your feedback lets us know we're on the right track. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing getaway!
This was our first time to the island and the condo was the highlight of our trip. The outdoor patio and walking distance to the beach was just what we needed. The loft was perfect for the 4 boys ages 11 thru 14 and the 2 bedrooms on on the main floor were perfect for the parents. The accommodations reminded us of a ski chalet but on the beach.

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that the property was gorgeous and everything was great. That's exactly what we aim for!
We certainly understand that not having a washer and dryer right in the unit can be an inconvenience, but we appreciate you making the best of the pay-per-use laundry area.
We are so glad you had a beautiful stay and hope to welcome you back to paradise soon!
My husband, son (19 months) and myself had the most amazing time at this home. It is perfect for children with the beach and pools being steps away and the home itself is in great condition. Very clean - looks exactly as listed in all the photos! We will definitely be back :)
Long weekend on captiva was relaxing and lovely. Clean property that was comfortable. Did not bring k cups so had to get those due to the type of coffee maker but the location is great. Rented bikes as well which made the trip so much better

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your long weekend on Captiva and found our property to be clean, comfortable, and conveniently located.
We appreciate your feedback about the coffee maker. We'll be sure to make a note of that in our listing description and perhaps consider providing a variety of coffee options for future guests.
And yes, renting bikes is definitely the way to go on Captiva! It's a fantastic way to explore the island and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another relaxing and memorable stay in the future.
Great location. Beautifully decorated. Lots of things w/in walking distance. Everything you need is provided. The parking lot was being repaired when we arrived and there were no indications or directions for parking provided. A very rude man came up to the car and told us we couldn’t park there. He asked WHO were we staying with and told us if we drove there again our car would be removed. He finally told us to park in the lot on the other side of the pickleball courts. Having an infant with us made for a very long haul to get all of our unloading done.Other than the less than welcoming introduction, it’s a beautiful place to stay and a great area.

Thank you for the 5-star review! I am so happy to hear that you found the home beautifully decorated and loved the convenience of having everything you need right at your fingertips. It’s great that you were able to take advantage of the walking-distance amenities that make this area so special.
I want to sincerely apologize for the "less than welcoming" introduction you had due to the parking lot repairs. I am truly sorry you had to deal with a rude encounter, especially while traveling with an infant. We strive to provide a seamless, "no-surprises" experience, and it's clear we missed the mark on communicating the temporary parking shift to you. I will be addressing this with the association to ensure that their personnel or contractors treat our guests with the respect they deserve.
We truly appreciate your patience and your kind words about the home itself. We would love to host your family again—with much smoother parking next time!

Thank you so much for your support. Please let us know in the future about any requests and we’d be happy to assist. Beach equipment is tough as it gets ruined easily, but again, we’re always available to assist to make your stay as wonderful as possible.
We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful beach house! The property was even better than we expected—relaxing, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and more. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true retreat.Every member of our family loved it—whether it was lounging on the balcony, enjoying the well-appointed amenities, or simply unwinding with the sound of the waves. The beach access was incredibly easy, and the sunsets were so breathtaking that we canceled our dinner plans just to soak in the view each evening.It’s rare to find a place that combines comfort, convenience, and natural beauty so perfectly. We’re already dreaming of coming back!

Your words about combining comfort, convenience, and natural beauty perfectly resonate with our vision. We are already dreaming of welcoming you back for another unforgettable escape!
We had a beach villa in the seventies and eighties and absolutely loved it, South Seas and Captiva. So sad to see what Ian did but looking forward to coming back in the near future. The beach was beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed by my family.

Thank you so much for sharing your fond memories of South Seas and Captiva! We're so glad to hear how much you loved your past stays here.
We understand your sadness over the impact of Hurricane Ian, and we share your anticipation for a full recovery. We're working hard to restore the beauty and charm that you remember, and we hope to welcome you back soon to experience the magic of Captiva once again.
We're delighted that your family enjoyed the beach, and we can't wait to create more unforgettable memories with you in the near future.
We stayed in this property for 3 nights. It’s on the beach and you can hear the ocean from the screened in porch but the rest leaves a lot to be desired. The area was badly damaged by hurricane Ian and is largely still a construction zone. There is a lot of truck traffic, random wooden scaffolding by the pool and the tennis court was only half usable. The kitchen is not well equipped, a shower was broken and the others neither hot no strong enough, and a smoke alarm hanging from the ceiling on a wire. It’s a nice place to stay for the beach but the apartment itself could use some work.

Thank you for your honest feedback about your recent stay. We appreciate you acknowledging the positive aspects, such as the beachfront location and the screened-in porch with ocean sounds.
We understand your concerns regarding the ongoing recovery efforts in the area after Hurricane Ian. As you mentioned, there is still some construction and visible damage in certain areas. We strive to be transparent with our guests about the current conditions and any potential impact on their stay, and we apologize if this detracted from your overall experience.
We also apologize for the specific issues you encountered within the unit, such as the kitchen equipment, shower malfunction, and smoke alarm. We take maintenance seriously and will address these concerns promptly. We appreciate you bringing them to our attention.
We acknowledge that the resort is not yet back to its pre-hurricane condition, but we are working diligently to restore it to its full glory. We are committed to providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience for our guests, and we value your feedback as we continue to improve our property.
We hope that despite these challenges, you were able to enjoy some of the beautiful aspects of Captiva Island.

Unit was clean and comfortable.
Unit was clean and comfortable. Perfect size for 8 people (4 adults and 4 kids). The kids enjoyed having their own space in the loft. We loved sitting out on the porch and watching the sun set and seeing all the wildlife.
