Perfect. Exactly what I was hoping for. A homey little beach place, colorfully decorated on a quiet street within walking distance to EVERYTHING you might need or want. My kids and I hope to return again and again.

The house was perfect. The main village is right around the corner with plenty of outdoor dining. We ate at the Key Lime Bistro on several mornings. All the business owners in the village are friendly and very helpful. Found wonderful shells and enjoyed watching the sunset each night. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

My family of five had a great time at Life's a Beach. Private beach is a hop and a skip away. Last day
watched family of dolphins swimming around literally right in front of us all day. Very relaxing vacation
house has everything you need. One day the barbecue gave us some trouble and called for help someone was fixing problem within 15 minutes! Great for kids and adults everybody would enjoy this cottage. Besides having everything you need cottage is in great condition. Never met owner but super nice on the phone. Go for it!!!

Great Place for a Family Vacation

Thank you for the use of your wonderful "Life's a Beach" cottage on Captiva. We had a great time and a perfect week with our daughter, her husband and their four year old. We enjoyed a mix of beach fun (body surfing, running, fishing), creative fun (writing, drawing, woodburning), and of course eating in and outside the cottage. Everything was excellent, and exactly as we had hoped. My wife called the cottage a "dream house" and loved the way you have cared for it and decorated it.

If we can, we would like to return to the cottage sometime.

Owner's Response: Thank you Kevin and I hope you will be back, we value our many returning guests and will give them first priority
