House description: Our home has recently been renovated to include ceramic tile, new carpeting. bedding, furniture and a completely redesigned kitchen with new appliances. On the first floor, you will enjoy lounging in the great room decorated with island-style furnishings and an entertainment etagere with a TV, DVD player, and DVD movies. The dining area, furnished with a glass-top table and wicker chairs, seats six guests. For informal eating, the kitchen island seats four, where you can prepare and serve meals. The sliding glass doors off the great room lead to a large screened-in lanai, where you can enjoy an early morning breakfast on the wrought-iron table and chairs or just sit and relax in the lounge chairs. A first floor bedroom is privately located down the hall and accommodates two guests in twin-sized beds with an adjacent full bathroom with two sinks and a tub/shower. A laundry area, equipped with a washer and dryer, is provided for our guests, as well as wireless high speed internet.

The upper level includes a large master bedroom with a king-sized bed, a connecting full bathroom with tub/shower, a loft, and walk-out deck.

Surrounding area: A boardwalk from the pool leads to the expansive sandy beach, where world-famous shelling can be found.

To experience the bayside of Captiva, walk across the street to our community's private marina, where you can fish or just enjoy spectacular sunrises. There are guest slips available for visitors' boats. If you wish to explore the bay or paddle through mangroves - kayaks, pontoon, and fishing boats are available for rent.

Very clean, well maintained beach house. Great location right around the block from restaurants,grocery store and shops. All within walking distance but far enough away not to hear any noise.
Short walk to beach and pool. My wife and 3 teenage boys had a great time at the house,plenty of room for everyone,very comfortable.
Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Vacation Home

5 of 5
Submitted: July 8, 2011 Stayed: June 2011
We spent a week in Captiva with our two young kids (4 & 6) and loved every minute of it.

This house was absolutely perfect for our family. It was roomy, comfortable (in all respects), perfectly located (close to pool, beach, and downtown) and complimented our every need. The kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms contained anything/everything one would need for a perfect stay.

This house is definitely an A+ accommodation in my opinion.

We LOVED this house and can’t wait to visit again soon.
Recommended for:  Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: We are thrilled that your stay in our Captiva house went so well. Families with children of all ages fit very well in our home. As you mentioned, the location allows one to walk everywhere! (we love that too!)
We look forward to welcoming you and your family back in the future!

Wonderful Home, Wonderful Vacation

Accurate description and photos. Home and property very well maintained. Sunset Captiva is a lovely property; very peaceful and quiet! Lots of vegetation making the homes very private and pretty. Owner, Alice, wonderful to work with providing information and responding quickly to questions. Home nicely decorated, clean, kitchen well stocked! Easy short walk to the beach. Pool area very clean and in excellent condition. Walkway to the beach is beautiful. Excellent location for walk to beach, bay, restaurants, shops.
Requested to arrive a day early, made arrangements with the owner in advance. Property maintained thru Royal Shell. Upon arriving at home found that it had not been cleaned for our check in. Cannot say enough about the timely response to the problem(it was after business hours). Royal Shell staff arrived within 10 min of our call, housekeeping had home cleaned for us within 2 hours. Also generously compensated with a gift certificate.
Highly recommend for a wonderful vacation! Thankyou Alice and Royal Shell!

Owner's Response: So glad everything worked out so well for you and that you enjoyed the house and Captiva Island as much as we do! We, too, like that fact that we can park our car and walk everywhere we need to go.It treally makes for a relaxing vacation. Hope you can return to our house on Captiva Island soon!

We really liked this house and the complex it is in. The house is nicely furnished and roomy. Beds were comfortable and the house was very breezy, so we did not have to run the a/c at night. Short walk to a gorgeous beach. Lots of beach toys avaible. An easy place to enjoy!
