What we loved about this property was access to the beach, the ocean view, the cute decor, and the accessibility to the the rest of the island. The owners' communication was excellent, which we really appreciated. A small but also appreciated amenity was that there was a nice TV in both bedrooms, as well as in the shared space. This owner also provided games and books - a great perk! We would love to see an upgrade on the lanai furniture, which was metal and very uncomfortable. Part of the value of the property is the ocean view, which was great but would have been more enjoyable had the furniture been more accommodating. We did appreciate that there were 2 beach chairs and an umbrella. There should be 4 chairs for a property that sleeps 4-6.

Thank you for the 4-star review and for your detailed feedback! I am so glad you enjoyed the ocean views, the "island-vibe" decor, and that the extra touches like the books, games, and multiple TVs made your stay more enjoyable. At Dream Vacation Rentals, we strive for a "no-surprises" experience, and your honest input is exactly what helps us maintain that. I sincerely apologize that the lanai furniture and the number of beach chairs didn't meet your needs. We want you to be able to fully relax while soaking in that view! I have already shared your comments with the property owner—we are currently looking into more comfortable seating options for the lanai and will ensure the beach chair inventory is increased to properly accommodate groups of your size. It was a total pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate you highlighting our communication. We would love to welcome you back for a 5-star experience once those upgrades are in place!

To much of a construction zone
Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Feb 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your comment about the construction, and we apologize if it detracted from your overall experience. We strive for complete transparency with our guests, and we do fully disclose the ongoing construction throughout the resort in our listing description. As you mentioned, the resort is still recovering from the hurricane, but we are pleased that many amenities, including the beach, pool, shops, and restaurants, are open and available for our guests to enjoy. We value your feedback and are committed to providing a 5-star experience. We maintain constant communication with our guests and are always available to address any concerns or issues that may arise during their stay. It's disheartening to receive a less than stellar review without any communication from the guest during their visit, as it prevents us from proactively addressing any concerns and ensuring a positive experience. We hope that despite the construction, you were able to enjoy some of the wonderful aspects of Captiva Island. We are confident that the resort will continue to improve and offer an even better experience in the future.

Beautiful view, power kept going out

Captiva is beautiful. First time there. Power outages were at least once per day during our visit. One time in the middle of the night for several hours. This meant no AC for quite some time. Per a neighbor at the building, it happens at least once per week on the island. Other than that, great unit and beautiful weather.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 July 2025
Thanks for your review! We're so glad to hear you found Captiva beautiful on your first visit and enjoyed our unit and the lovely weather. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the power outages during your stay, especially the overnight one that affected your AC. We understand how frustrating that must have been. Unfortunately, as your neighbor mentioned, power fluctuations can occasionally occur on the island. While these are typically outside of our control, we do recognize the impact they have on our guests' comfort. We hope that despite this issue, you were still able to make wonderful memories on Captiva, and we'd love to welcome you back again in the future!

Beautiful condo

This was our first trip back to Sanibel/Captiva since Hurricane Ian. We have stayed at the South Seas in a different condo and this one is far superior! Love the decor - just as pictured. Very clean and spacious! Bathrooms were clean and AMAZING water pressure! Great view of the sunset and the ocean. We actually rode out tropical storm Debby in the condo. We lost power for about 2.5 hours but had wonderful communication from the host about restoration efforts. Despite the wind and rain, we had a great time!

We're delighted you loved the decor, cleanliness, spaciousness, and amazing water pressure! It's wonderful to know you appreciated the beautiful views and even got to witness a spectacular sunset. We're also happy to hear that you felt well-informed and supported during Tropical Storm Debby, even with the temporary power outage.

Lovely but needs more beach chairs

Beautiful unit and location near the beach. I was disappointed there were only two beach chairs for a unit with six people. And we were not allowed to use the beach chairs that were on the beach. Because we did not rent from South seas directly.

Updated immaculate villa on the beach

We had a very nice stay at this renovated and updated beach villa on South Seas. Immaculate, modern decor, and well stocked with everything we needed. We didn’t have to buy anything except food. All the basics were provided and plenty for 4 days. Great location - walk to restaurants, steps from beach etc. 2 Beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrella provided. Management was very responsive to a couple very minor issues and had them resolved within an hour. Master bedroom right by elevator so on Saturday morning (busy check out day) the mechanical noise woke us up, but it was fine the rest of the days. We would definitely stay here again!
