No linen service, laundry or use of the resort was offered. When we contacted dream vacations they would send back form letter responses South seas is spectacular and we would stay there again. I would not stay in villa 2005 or another Dream Vacation property.

It was perfect!
The place was beautifully appointed, with high-end furnishings. It was also very clean. The location is perfect. Steps from the beach and minutes to everything on the island. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend.

very clean, up to date, well equipped, quick to respond management. we knew ahead of time the in unit washer and dryer wasn’t available. Would have been nice to have blankets/throws available for curling up on the tv. great location steps away from the beach and directly across from the pool.

Awesome stay at Captiva!
The condo was perfectly lovely with a gorgeous view of the beach. We loved the simplicity of the decor and the amenities provided which were plenty for our four night stay. We will definitely return!

On a scale of 1-5, this condo is a 10! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was spacious, spotless and well appointed. The location can't be beat and the host responded promptly when we had questions. The bed in the master was too firm for my taste but my partner seemed to like it (so bring a mattress topper if you like a softer mattress). Would absolutely rent this unit again and again!

Amazing Retreat
Beautiful private beach, very clean property with everything we needed to relax. The property manager responded right away regarding two minor issues (TV remote batteries and leaves in pool). Both were resolved same day. Would definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family!

Beautiful space
The place was extremely spacious! King bed with master bath, 2nd bedroom with full and twin bed and another full bathroom. Additional pull out sofa. Double sliding doors that completely open making the living space even larger. Beach chairs included and beach towels. I would highly recommend this listing.

Fabulous
This was a much needed girls’ trip. The condo exceeded expectations and so much nicer than even shown in the pictures. We are middle aged women; we know cleanliness. We could not find dust not on baseboards, vents, or under chair cushions. Even the quality of the pans and knives were impressive. The first night upon arrival a rare but huge storm passed through. Apparently many units lost internet. The management company came first thing the next morning and fixed it. We cannot wait to return!

Were not informed of Beach Restoration & Construction activity!
The condo was great, the beach was not. We didn't take a vacation to sit in our condo. We took a vacation to sit on the beach, but was in the process of Restoration & Construction. We understand that this needs to occur periodically, but we feel deceived. We paid full price for a beach condo, and the beach sucked.

We are very sorry about the beach renourishment occurring during your stay. They don’t give us any timeline unfortunately. While it’s a short term inconvenience, it helps the beaches stay great over the long term. They also provided walk overs every so often to avoid any closures

Disappointed with this one.
I've been to Captiva many times - This unit had sand on the floor, used soap in the shower and the shower floor was not clean, ac filter was clogged with dirt and AC was out for one night and all day the next day. The toilet ran and maintenance just wiped the flapper so it kept running! Management didn't seem to care. I'm in the business and usually very forgiving of little things but there were just too many. Not to mention pool was disgusting the entire time - yellow mold and full of leaves and dirt and yes, I did report it and nothing was done. People around us were loud and left trash and beach boogies boards and toys tossed outside on our landing which was never swept - On a positive note - the view was great from the balcony and living room. It just left much to be improved.

Thank you for your review and it’s disappointing that you felt the property wasn’t as it should be upon arrival. We have a professional cleaning team, resort style linens and inspect the property prior to each arrival. We did state that we’d send a team member right away to rectify any issues, however, that wasn’t accepted. While we do strive to be as perfect as possible, should anything not hit the mark, we are willing to make it right. In terms of the pool and property, we did report those items, however, that is the association responsibility. We’ll continue working hard and hope to earn five stars from every guest moving forward.

Exceeded Expectations!
We cannot say enough great things about this property, it absolutely exceeded our expectations. The units was 100% as described, the community was lovely, and the shops/restaurants were fabulous. Our family made some great memories here and I will 100% try to book this location again in 2022.
