We were 2 families totaling 12\. We were able to spend time together and enjoy island life! We loved that the beach was just steps in front of the house and we also enjoyed the pools at the island club that was just a short golf cart ride away. The house was very clean and we loved the caretakers of this home, they were very helpful and attentive and made getting to the house and the island very easy. We highly recommend and plan to return next year! ##### Liza H. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David K.

We knew the home had been recently remodeled after hurricane damage, but the care and quality that went into the restoration are truly impressive.It feels brand new, yet incredibly cozy and welcoming.The house was immaculate upon our arrival-spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. The views are even more stunning than the photos suggest, and we spent every morning with coffee on the deck, just soaking it all in.A special shout-out to the caretakers, who were so attentive and made us feel well-looked after throughout our stay. It's clear how much pride they take in this property.We enjoyed our time so much that we've already decided we'll be back next year.

Location couldn’t have been any better and everyone was extremely helpful. Not only was the house/owner great everyone on the island were great too.

Sunsets are amazing. Wildlife and seashells abound. The beaches are secluded for the most part with an occasion couple or family but night and day when compared to some of the more “touristy” places we have stayed along 30A. We will most certainly return. The owner and caretakers went out of their way to ensure our stay was amazing. Stephanie, Wendy and Bob were excellent communicators! ##### Terry P.

The interior of the home suited our extended family of 10 with a perfect gathering space as the heart of the home and respite/sleeping spaces for all. The amenities of the Island Club connection and a golf cart allowed for further exploring and fun!

We could see dolphins and manatees from both inside and outside the house. The beach front location was great for just walking out the front door to either swim or for some fishing from shore. Our favorite evening spot was the lower level, with the screened in porch and large couch! We hung out there for hours listening to the wave and watching the sunset. The hosts, Bob and Wendy were always available to answer any questions we had. When we arrived the house was spotlessly cleaned and the restaurant they recommended was fantastic.

We woke every morning to watching the diverse wildlife in the water and along the beach from our balconies, and the most amazing sunsets every evening! We went around the whole island and I’m not sure there is another house with this unique vantage point on the beach. We had our whole family, siblings, nieces and nephews, and parents, and all slept comfortably. We also do a lot of cooking and their kitchen was well stocked with quality kitchen items and a nice newer grill! The property owner and care takers were wonderful and very responsive, even helped us arrange transportation when we had a medical emergency. ##### Billie G.

Apr 7, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Beach vacation The house had an amazing location literally right on the beach. Being able to hear the waves from inside the house and on the porch was really neat. Also, being able to just walk outside and onto the beach was perfect! I will say that the house is definitely in need of some updates. Some windows leaked quite a bit during the storm and the bathrooms were small and needed updated faucets. While the house is on the beach and sand was expected, the floors definitely could have been swept better before we arrived. There were numerous collections of dust and dirt in bedrooms and living rooms and the rugs looked very dirty. Despite some of those upgrades and cleanliness issues, the location was fantastic and we had a great trip! ##### Joell G. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### April B. Sep 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Girls Trip 2023 This was my second time staying at the Big on the Beach House. The first time was with my family for my wedding. This time there were 10 girls aged mid 20’s to mid 50’s for an epic girl’s trip. The house fit all of us perfectly! This really is the very best spot on the island being on the North end with a great stretch of beach and quiet right out the front door. The house could probably use a little TLC as you can tell there’s been water in it at some point. Overall it is a beautiful home though! Windows everywhere and 4 decks! The manager Wendy was helpful getting us picked up earlier than scheduled so we could catch the 7:30am ferry off the island. It was a great place to stay. I would recommend this place for a large group for sure! You really CANNOT beat the view!! The owners of the house are also very helpful and seem very nice. Thank you again for another wonderful stay at your property! ##### April B. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry D.

The hot tub overlooking the ocean was a bonus during a few cooler days. We are already planning our next trip back. ##### Katie N. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce K. Oct 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy If you want to be close to the water and beach, hear the waves, enjoy the sunset, this is place to stay on North Captiva! No other place is closer, or has a better view. Big on the Beach is it! Thanks to Bob and Wendy the place was ready for occupancy. They picked us up at the docks, carted our luggage to the house, and gave us a comprehensive orientation of all this spectacular house has to offer. When our week was up, Bob and Wendy were again there to help. Thank you! The house was immaculate and well suited for super large groups like our own. It offered plenty of beds and convenient bathrooms for all of us. And the kitchen is well equipped for fixing large meals or casual snacks for large groups. Much thanks to Bob and Wendy for making this a pleasant family vacation, and to Stephanie (the owner) for sharing her wonderful house and spectacular location with us. We love Big on the Beach! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fa81dfe0-a443-4ee9-9f2e-810e9cb916f7-1760978526014.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bruce K.
