Unfortunately, the neighbors directly to the south of your property are complete jerks. Music blaring until 2 in the am...during the day, the music shook the windows and made it lousy to be in the pool or on the back porch...one of my favorite spots. Due to those \*\*\*\*\*\* we probably will not return. ##### Annie G. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sarah d. Feb 26, 2019 #### Fantastic Stay! We just got back from a wonderful week in this house (mansion!). We usually stay in a condo in Sanibel, but we had both grandparents with us, so we opted for a house instead. We were so happy to change it up, and it was neat to try Captiva for the first time. There is more than enough room for everyone - master bedroom downstairs, downstairs den that we put the pack-and-play in for the baby, two bedrooms upstairs, a cabin with a small kitchen for my parents, and a room on top of the garage that actually went unused! The biggest perk of this place is the awesome heated pool. The kids loved it, and we swam our hearts out! Other perks of this place are the large main kitchen, view of the intercostal waterway, short walk down the driveway to the beach (sunsets every night were awesome), lush landscaping, and how QUIET and serene it is in and around the house. We also loved that they provided a pack-and-play (however we brought our own - didn't know they had one on sight), and there is an umbrella stroller & beach gear in the garage. A couple CONS: the mattress in the cabin is pretty hard and uncomfortable, and the pillows throughout need to be replaced. There were fire ants near the pool, but the ant spray we found in the house took care of them. We are already planning on coming back next year. What a fantastic stay we had!

The house is beautiful and the location is wonderful. We were very happy with the property manager but there were some problems. There was no wifii and cell service to the cottage and apartment over the garage when we checked in. I assumed this was just what we needed to accept. What this meant was the first night we were in the house and the tornado warnings sounded those of us in these two locations were not aware. Those in the main house were not aware we didn't have the service so they didn't warn us. When we entered the house for breakfast we realized we didn't get these warnings - very scary. On the 5th day of our stay, the service came on in the cottage - which means it should have been on from the beginning. Just think guests should be made aware of this situation. The other issues, no hot water in the cottage for the day and no air conditioning in the upstairs of the main house for a few days was taken care of by the property manager Mark who was very pleasant. ##### Michele T.

It was perfect and the dock was well used by our avid Like I said, we LOVED the house and property! It was perfect and the dock was well used by our avid anglers! However, we have a few suggestions: 1) Ensure the home is in working order (or inform the renters of any pending issues). 2) Inform the renters of the hose to the left of the garage to rinse your sandy feet, before entering the pool. This was not located until the day before we left. 3) The home really needs extra garbage/recycling bins for a garbage pick-up 1 x week. The garage could easily store them... 4) It would be a WISE INVESTENT to place a 3M FILM to help cut down on the Eastern Sun Rise HEAT that barrels in the main living area/kitchen. I personally did this to my Key's home, and it cut my electric bill down considerably, along with making the home more comfortable, while enjoying the views. https://www.3m.com/3M/en\_US/home-window-solutions-us/solutions/uv-protection/ The team members were great, we had no issues. Upon dropping the keys, we expressed our concerns. The team was apologetic, and unaware of the problems we had. ##### Mike Cardwell This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rich Gookin Jun 28, 2021 #### A clear/net covering on the pool would negate the mosquitos and enable visitors to enjoy the pool.

Jun 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for extended family stay Absolutely gorgeous property. Loved sitting on the screened-in porch and watching the boaters go by. The kitchen/family room were our hub... plenty of room for everyone. Master bedroom and bathroom were incredible. Two queen bedrooms upstairs had some temperature issues (too cold and then too warm), but not bad enough to call the property manager. Kids loved spending time in the upstairs loft area. Both outbuildings were well-appointed. Fisherman's cottage had some ants/spiders/roaches, and the property manager came out right away to spray. Appreciated being able to use the garage to store our rental bikes and beach equipment. We did not end up using any of the property's equipment except for the wagon, which worked great for hauling chairs/umbrellas/coolers/toys down the long driveway to the beach. Could not ask for a better beach location! Almost no neighbors, and TONS of great shells (especially at low tide). Biggest drawback on the entire property is the smell in the pool area. We thought it was the neighbor's construction's porta-potty (which is right next to the pool)... but the property manager told us that the house's septic system is right by the pool. So, every time we went to the pool, we always smelled septic/sulfur/stink. The property manager said it would just be when the wind was blowing a certain direction... but we noticed it all the time. We still used the pool frequently, but would have been able to enjoy it more without the smell. Also, it's Florida in summer, so make sure to bring bug spray and sunscreen if you plan to stay outdoors for any length of time. ##### Megan S.

One set of parents stayed in the main house master with the 4 girls and the other parents in the cottage. We walked across the street to the beach every day, used the pool every day, and cooked meals in the kitchen every day. The private beach access leads to a VERY quiet section of Captiva. We rented a boat and tied it up at the dock. The house is lovely and convenient. 100% would book this property again. ##### danica j. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### keith a. Mar 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family reunion for March birthdays We found the property to fit our needs of 8 adults and 1 child under 2 just fine - 4 separate families, so the many different sleeping arrangements fit just great. We loved the big screened porch facing the Roosevelt Channel, the wonderful big kitchen table that fit us all for meals and evening games; the close proximity to the beach by beach wagon filled with beach chairs and kid toys. The living room was good for evenings of chatting; we didn't turn on one tv the entire 2 weeks. Grocery convenience store was right down the road for quick last-minute pick ups- otherwise, the bigger grocery stores on Sanibel weren't too far away. There are several restaurants close by the property, but we opted for lunches out and cooking dinners in, so don't have alot of food reviews to offer. We did like Doc Ford's , key lime pie at Keylime Bistro, cakes from the Bubble Room. My only complaints would be the property advertised bikes to use, but both bikes were inoperable (flat tires, no seats); and we stayed for two weeks but the complimentary welcome kits only gave us 2 packets of dishwasher soap, 3 garbage bags,, 1 packet of laundry soap ( we brought laundry soap, knowing we had a toddler). I would suggest perhaps more supplies for those staying for more than one week, considering the price of the property. We loved our stay here on Captiva Island - a great family time! ##### keith a.

We plan to rent this property again. It was a perfect fit for our family of parents and grown children to relax away for the holiday. This property was everything we wanted for our stay. We enjoyed a family Christmas celebration here. It is the most wonderfully peaceful and secluded place and yet convenient to anything we wished to venture out and do. We hope to continue to stay here for a family Christmas tradition. It was perfect! The team I spoke with while awaiting the time for our trip were helpful in dealing with the covid anxiety regarding our stay and travel. The rental office had a variety of well documented properties for choosing the perfect place. ##### Lisa Leach This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Ted Oberg Jun 29, 2020 #### We loved it. We loved it. It is a beautiful home with an incredible location - on the bay, close to the beach. The beach was wonderfully secluded with no parking nearby, we felt like it was all ours. The cottage and garage apartment are so fantastic. It really was a perfect spot for our family get away. ##### Ted Oberg This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Karen Bloom Jan 1, 2020 #### The TV's in the Carriage House and Guest Cottage are 10-15 years old. The TV's in the Carriage House and Guest Cottage are 10-15 years old. The TV in the Guest Cottage was very pixelated. One of the TV's in the big house has a yellow cast to it. The large TV in the big house was great. My children were supposed to stay in the Carriage House but there was a fragrance there that gave my daughter a headache so we had to switch. We paid to have the house cleaned but nobody asked us when we wanted it cleaned. Since Christmas was on Wednesday, we assumed it would be cleaned on Tuesday. We did cancel the cleaning on Thursday as we were leaving Saturday. I did call your office to complain about the lack of wifi in the two buildings. A man came over to verify that there was no wifi. He told me to tell the owner to put in routers. I thought that was strange as he was from your office and the office, not I communicates with the owner. ##### Karen Bloom This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles Yanes Aug 19, 2019 #### Excellent property, very spacious, clean and homey.

Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny B., Knoxville, TN Dec 10, 2018 #### Roosevelt Cottage Fabulous, beautiful place for families or couples. Three large bedrooms in the main house, cozy guest house with little kitchen and sitting area and a bedroom and bath over detached garage. The farmhouse kitchen has a big harvest table that easily seated 12 for Thanksgiving. Beautiful bay view (with private dock) and just a short walk to the very quiet beach. We’ll be back! ##### Jenny B.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing rental... layout and style of decor was really great! Perfect setup for two families and two grandparents although wish the upstairs bedrooms had twins versus double beds. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Singer-Island-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Marriott-Singer-Island-Beach-Resort-Spa.h449170.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachside Hotel & Suites Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Beachside-Hotel-Suites.h4995.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colony Hotel Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Colony-Hotel-Palm-Beach.h8074.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h4398.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral, FL](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1489240.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Walk Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Ocean-Walk.h598390.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort by Southern Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Edgewater-Beach-And-Golf-Resort-By-Resort-Collection.h803238.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Best-Western-Cocoa-Beach-Hotel-Suites.h18029.Hotel-Information) > > [PGA National Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.ca/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-NEW-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Port-Canaveral.h15605.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Resort at the Port](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Radisson-Resort-At-The-Port.h4692.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Key RV Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Key-Hotels-Fiesta-Key-RV-Resort.h4578886.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama House](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Bahama-House.h893658.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacation Village at Weston, Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Vacation-Village-At-Weston.h1062880.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Beach House, Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-Beach-House.h857962.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information)
