Aug 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, location #### READ THE SPECIFICS This property cannot be accessed by car and there are terrible ferry costs and surcharges if you can’t fit within their “hours”. Beyond that they hosts offer to get you groceries for a 40% charge of the cost of the bill. Everything is an up charge and is extremely Inconvenient to get to. If you are okay with that then disregard but make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. ##### colin k. ### 6/10 Okay #### Sara C. Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great house for a large group This house worked well for our family trip. Pictures inside are accurate and spaces worked well to have a large group. We did run into a couple of issues:Listing shows that you are part of the Island Club VIP Membership. We did not have access to this. Not too big of a deal since there is still a pool by Mangos for non club members, but would've been awesome to have access to bikes and kayaks. Ended up renting bikes for an afternoon, but would've used them more than once and would definitely have used the kayaks. Pool at the house was absolutely not useable during our stay. Didn't even look like it was running. Property managers knew and apologized, but didn't fix it. We wouldn't have used it anyway because it is TINY. But if you had little kids who wanted to swim while you grill, you'd want to use it. PROSHaving included golf carts was amazing!Weather was perfect over spring break. It's a very relaxing island with no real nightlife. Mangos pool bar was greatOver The Waterfront was a highlight - food was incredible!CONSNo ice maker in the freezer and it was definitely "island pricing" for ice.There is still quite a bit of hurricane damage on the island. ##### Sara C.

It was a wonderful experience. Laurie and her concierge team were especially helpful in navigating transportation, supplies and coordination issues on a semi remote island. Property was perfect for 3 families w/kids. The beach is beautiful and the weather was outstanding during our stay. The boys were very excited about the opportunity to surf fish. One family even did a day’s fishing charter. Even the single day that it rained was relaxing. Everyone said it was great to unplug without all the peripheral activities. Resident’s tip…be careful if you’re making toast as the smoke detector is very sensitive. ##### Jim C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark B.

But the singles and bunks are for kids and the one double bed off the kitchen is a fold out, hard for more than one person to sleep comfortably there. ##### Jeanne H.

Jul 17, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### North Captiva getaway This trip allowed for two families to come together under one roof for a week to enjoy some peace and quiet and the company of each other. Our experience on the island was overall a good one - beautiful beaches, shelling was so much fun, seeing dolphins and gorgeous sunrise and sunsets, and not dealing with crowds were all a plus. Our property managers, Ally and Sean were super responsive to addressing the issues we did encounter - golf cart broke down on day 1, internet/wifi was down the entire trip, one of the bathrooms became infested with gnats, and the mosquitos on the island in general were serious (wish we would have been warned). Again, Sean and Ally were on top of all the issues and helped to resolve most of them and those they didn't was not for lack of trying! The house balconies and pool outdoor area is not screened in so we barely could enjoy the time outside in the evening without bathing in insect repellant. The island had a lot of debris and flooded roads which we learned to navigate and it wasn't until the latter part of the trip that the roads were filled in. The house was in a good location, close to the beach, spacious and generally clean but definitely requires some TLC and updating. ##### Raphael G.

Jun 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Saving our vacation Let me start out by telling a story about renting a vacation house on Anna Marie Island. We arrived on a Saturday about 5 o'clock and it was an absolute nightmare from that point on. Out of desperation I told my family that I had located a house for rent on North Captiva Island it was a brand new listing and we didn't even know thing about Captiva Island. I read some reviews about the Captiva and decide right then to book the property. Right after I booked the home I contacted the owner Karla Gust and explained to her my desperation to save my family's vacation. Karla was boarding a plane with her two small children heading to Florida to stay at her vacation rental. Karla could have told me to pound sand, it's her home but instead she cancelled her trip told me not to worry and graciously let me and my family check in hours before the 4 o'clock check in time (Karla you are a phenomenal person!). We arrived on the island at 0900 and were greeted by Sean from Karla's management company. We were given a tour of the island and taken to the house. The house is amazing the beach and the island are by far the best. I have been to in Florida teeming with dolphins, manatees and turtles! The water is crystal clear. This saved our vacation and my family wants to book the house again next year. Karla and her amazing house deserve 10 🌟. Thanks again Karla you rock!!!! ##### Travis C.
