Great Location For The Kids
We live ve Captiva and usually stay out of town a bit (near Tween Waters). But, this rental was perfect for our grandson and friends with food, shops, etc. close by. Also nice for the adults… as short walk to the market and restaurants. Our host was very responsive to our needs.

Week in Captiva
We enjoyed our week at 57 Sandpiper. The house is spacious, beds are comfortable, and location is great with easy access to restaurants, the beautiful Captiva beach and pool, which was a good size for the community. Host (Ryan) was responsive to our requests. We would stay here again.

Sunset Captiva 57
We spent the week at house 57. The pros first- the house was perfectly clean- very appreciated. The beach wagon, chairs and umbrellas were great to have. The beds were quite comfortable and all appliances worked perfectly. The cons - the furnishings were sparse, uncomfortable and very old. The porch furniture was very very old and not inviting at all. Sitting out on an otherwise fine porch was just too uncomfortable for very long, due to poor chairs. The lighting in the family and bedrooms were very inadequate as was the upstairs bath lighting. The house was ok, overall. But we still had a fine week.

Captiva respite
The community where the property is located is very nice. The property itself is very good but needs updating, especially dining room and living room furniture. Beach access was outstanding and the location in regards to restaurants and community center are outstanding.

Truly Paradise!
We loved this home, location and, of course, Captiva. This was our third vacation to Captiva/Sanibel and it never fails to be better than the last. The house was plenty big and comfortable for the 6 of us. The balcony off of the upstairs master bedroom was amazing. We sat up there at night and just enjoyed the stars and our nightcap. The community was friendly, especially the neighbors, Sue and Jim. It is close, with an easy walk to the beach. The pool is large and warm. The local store (we call it the little corner store) has everything you need at a reasonable price. Our host, Ryan, was incredible. His communication was continuous, quick responses, and great followup - plus a nice person to talk to. Overall we rate this place 5 stars plus, plus, plus. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation Ryan!

Great location on Captiva with space to unwind
This house is in a great location on Captiva. It is a short walk to all the key features of the island, including the Mucky Duck, the Island Store, Jensen's Marina. The available pool is very nice, and we enjoyed it frequently during our 2 weeks with another couple. A boardwalk leads you to the beach where shelling and watching the Osprey's is an all day thing. The house has plenty of room including a screened porch. The neighborhood is quiet and is well maintained. We had a great time and would go back.

My family and I truly enjoyed staying at this home on Captiva. The location was incredible! We were only steps away from the beach and we could walk to most places on the island.

Enjoyed the house and being able to walk to several restaurants. Pool and beach were great, just sad the tennis court was torn up. Ryan is an excellent communicator.

False information on the house
The house and porch was infested with noseeums. They lied and said there was a dock available to use I had to rent a slip from tween waters and not get reimbursed. Bed had blood stains on the sheets.
