We have stayed at North Captiva several times, but this is the first time we have stayed at this home. The property management was very helpful in getting us into the house under adverse weather and helping us get settled. The house was very close to the beach Had a simple floor plan and excellent views of the water. The only deficiencies we experienced were a non-operational refrigerator on the ground floor due to recent flooding. Otherwise it was a fantastic property for our family. We look forward to returning again soon. ##### Matthew W. Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tani J.

House was clean, well furnished, and comfortable for our group of 9 (6 adults/3 kids). The house has great screened in porches on each level, amazing views of the ocean, and a fun beach bar where we spent several nights enjoying music and happy hour. We loved the heated pool, close and private access to the beach, and outdoor shower. Lots of lounge chairs and spaces to sit for those not wanting to get into the pool. Property management (Shally’s Seashells) was great; always checking in if we needed anything, any minor issues/questions we had and all in a timely and quick manner! Would rent this house and any house managed by Sean and Ally at Shally’s Seashells. ##### Tani J. Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kerri L. Jul 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Island Getaway North Captiva is a quiet island away from it all. It was a nice getaway with my family to detach from the stress of every day. The house was perfect for 11 of us. The private pool was a lot of fun for the kids. The view is beautiful and taking a quiet nap on the hammock with the island breeze was just what I needed. North Captiva is still recovering from the hurricane and has a lot of debris and construction that is not safe for the little ones to run around, but fine with adult supervision. You need to either pack all your food foe the week and deal with transporting it or get Publix delivery or shop at Mangos Convenience Store which is expensive. Choose the lesser of 2 evils. We had a nice time at the house and always received a quick response with questions. We rented a boat for the day and enjoyed exploring, shelling and stopping off at Cabbage Key for some drinks. ##### Kerri L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### John M.

Water smelled like rotten eggs.First level shower has no water drain .I have discarded gas grills that were in cleaner and in better working condition. The pool was not monitored carefully for chemicals and turned cloudy. I had to call them to come and clean the filter and add chlorine. Roads and trails poorly maintained. Rough ##### John M. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John A. Jan 28, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Vacation Overall, we really enjoyed our stay on North Captiva. The property is a very short walk to the beach through a private walkway, is surrounded by screened in porches and has a rooftop lookout with beautiful views. Sean and Ally were responsive and helpful. We’d recommend planning each meal in advance and making sure you order enough groceries (Ally was helpful when we found our order was missing a few items.) Positives: ⁃ Lots of great outdoor seating in the screened in porch area and the pool. We spent a lot of time here. ⁃ The pool was heated and allowed us to still use even on cooler days. ⁃ The property’s location is excellent and we appreciated the quick walk to the beach. ⁃ The golf carts provided were a fun mode of transportation. ⁃ We enjoyed a few sunsets from the rooftop lookout. ⁃ Responsive team. Few things that could be improved: ⁃ We spent a chunk of our first morning here cleaning to keep ants away (the previous renters must have had a spill on the area rug.) The ants were a persistent problem throughout our stay. We found ourselves cleaning frequently. ⁃ Wood stairs can get slippery (especially for pets), wasn’t a major issue but something to note. ⁃ The home is a bit dated, but could be improved with some minor updates. ⁃ During our stay, the island was instructed to take shelter due to dangerous weather. We would recommend including instructions in the information book provided as we were unsure of the safest place in the home to weather the storm. ##### John A.

Apr 17, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great vacation, groceries were a hassle Overall we had a great vacation. The house was nice, although is in need of some attention. It's definitely rented a lot, but it's what we were expecting. We were surprised by the lack of upkeep with the yard, but this was pretty common throughout the island. We were there over spring break which was a very busy time. And I was reminded of these each time I spoke to the property manager. The biggest disappointment for us was the grocery situation. We chose to order our groceries through the management company, which is what they suggested. We were not aware they would place the order through instacart. I've never used instacart and am not familiar with it and was not told this was how the grocery order would be placed. I'm unsure as to how the groceries get delivered to the island and then to the house, but there were several items missing and we had several items we did not order. We soon learned that groceries were mixed up between several houses. It took about a day to get that sorted out. Mid-week we received a text asking if we would need a refill on groceries and if we sent the property manager our order by noon it would be delivered the same day. I'm glad we weren't depending on the refill. By the next afternoon we still did not have the groceries. When I finally got a return call from the property manager, I was again told how busy they were and that because the grocery orders were also being placed for the group of incoming rentals for Saturday, their orders were getting picked up by the instacart shoppers since those were larger orders. The instacart shoppers get paid a percentage of the order. We decided to cancel our order since by that point we only had a day and a half left. We realize spring break is a busy time, but I'm surprised the management company seemed to be caught off guard by that. We would have thought since they are experienced at handling these rentals, they would be equipped to handle this. The only other negative thing was that our included sundries did not show up until the second day, after I had called and texted multiple times. The communication could definitely be better. I know, you were busy, you reminded me of that several times. The island itself was beautiful. We had 5 teenagers and they had a great time. The house is very close to the beach for not actually being on the beach. I don't mean for this review to sound completely negative. ##### Shawn W.

Not too big, but perfect for lounging and relaxing -House had everything that it was supposed to, including plenty of towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, and other assorted beach items. -Two sets of cornhole boards, which got used a bunch. -Kitchen was stocked with pretty much all you would need, just bring your groceries. -Screened-in porches were awesome! The bugs can get pretty bad during the early morning and late evening, but the you would never be able to tell if you're sitting on one of the porches. -Rooftop deck was super cool. It appeared to be one of the highest on the island and you could see everything from up there. -The ground floor bar was great! It was screened, as well, and had tons of seating. There was a grill down there and it was a perfect space to relax and have food and drinks. -Beach was less than a minute walk with a private path. It was extremely private. We only saw a handful of people the entire week We had a wonderful time on North Captiva and this house contributed to our positive experience in a big way. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone who wants to have a relaxing and private vacation on the island. ##### destiny J. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa B.

We rented this property approx 6 months post Ian and all things considered, the house was in great shape. Management was fabulous and everything functioned perfectly. Location was very good. There is still a lot of hurricane debris everywhere, but that is how the island is right now and people are working around the clock to clear it. Would definitely rent again. ##### Lisa B.

We really liked the pool and proximity to the beach. The Kitchen, porches and widows walk on top of the house were great. We were surprised that there was no way to get to the 1st/lower level ( screened party / pool room) from the main/ kitchen level- you have to go down from kitchen level and outside / down 3 flights of stairs. This was not evident in the online photos. Also there was no pool toilet so again, we had to go up 2 flights and into the bathroom there. The golf cart was quite rusty and stained a few items of our clothing. The house should have pest control out to spray for ants and other insects. For these reasons the rating is good- with some room for improvement. We Did enjoy our stay and made super memories playing cornhole and enjoying the pool and having access to the club facilities. Thank you. ##### Emily W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherry F.

We enjoy being able to get away from the hustle and bustle and just have time to relax. Your home was perfect for our family. We had 2 adults and 4 adult children. The house was perfect for all of us. Everything was clean and organized. We had all the cooking utensils, cookware and appliances we needed. The beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of linens. The ice maker was an exceptional plus to making sure we had plenty of ice for our favorite beverages. We spent time during the day at the pool and beach and in the evenings in the screened in areas. The mosquitoes and no see-ums are bad in the evenings, so having the screened in areas was perfect. Being able to bring our fur babies with us was great. They also enjoyed being outside with us in the screened in areas. The beach is a very short walk away. The owners have made it easy by providing beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and a nice cart to use when hauling all of your beach gear. Our kids enjoyed being able to explore the island by golf cart, Mango’s pool and bar was a hit for all. We swam with the dolphins (for free), seen a manatee being rescued and had a blast watching all the turtles roam around the island. We spent a day on a rental boat island hopping. We went to Cabbage Key for lunch, caught a few sharks and seen a lot of manatees. Yvena made our trip easy and worry free by stocking our groceries for us. We had a few issues that just so happened to happen when we were there, normal issues that happen to anyone who owns a home. She was quick to respond and take care of everything right away. Check in is smooth and easy, they meet you at the ferry take your luggage and bring it right to your home. We are already looking forward to our visit next year. Thank you for making our family vacation amazing. ##### Sherry F. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandon S.

The rooftop lookout area is great. There is also a ground level gathering area that is perfect for groups. The beach is close and just a couple minute walk. The pool is great as well. ##### Brandon S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann M.

We had an overall great experience with the house and location. I would recommend having your groceries and seafood deliveries set up in advance. The island has only 2 small dining places and a store that carries the smallest amount of supplies. ##### Ann M.
