The condo was in excellent condition and seemed practically brand new. There were plenty of linens and pillows and the kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the outdoor porch was nice for morning coffee. Check in was easy and location was great. The only complaint was that the elevator wasn’t working which was ok for us but could make it difficult for other guests.

Our second stay and again all things were perfect for a restful vacation. Any construction or repairs on this complex is complete, and the crews have moved onto other units in South Seas.The unit itself has been updated with a new kitchen, and all beach amenities in storage are in excellent condition. The king size bed is super comfortable, and all amenities such as towels and toiletries were provided. Finally, being the fall hurricane season, we had the beach and restaurants largely to ourselves. Again, a perfect place for a break.

Captiva- Getaway
We returned after our stay in Jan. Still love the condo, location (although a lot of construction at turn to condo- can not hear or see from condo however). Easy walk to town. More restaurants open. Love the market. Definitely plan to come back if condo is available.
Great condo!! First floor next to the pool & hot tub. Nice views of the marina and mangroves. Fun to watch the osprey, ibis and other beautiful birds. Condo was nicely furnished and decorated, clean and well equipped. Two large screen TVs and free Prime video. Short walks to the beach and Captiva village.

It was a nice place to stay.
The place was clean and had everything we needed besides soap. There was none in the entire place but I went and bought some. The area was still having lots of work and repairs completed so it was noisy sometimes. The place had lotsbof parking available as well but you uad to be careful around the work equipment. The pool and hot tub were nice as well. I love all the wildlife around the area. It was a great place to come and get away from the city for a few days.
