Historic Captiva PO Cottage Garden Suite Steps to Beach Casual Lux Décor - Jensen's "On the Gulf" 7

Dwelling on the past is only a positive when you book your stay in PO Box #7. The enchanting bungalow was once a major hub of Captiva Island as the local Post Office, and now it is yours to lodge in for your next vacation. Fully renovated yet still retaining the classic charm of Captiva's heyday, PO Box #7 lives splendidly large while managing to remain within budgetary means. Once you lift the latch on the famed wooden gate surrounded by private hedges, sea grapes, palm trees and twinkling cafe lights you are instantly transported to exclusive tropical seclusion of the vintage persuasion. Everything one needs is located right at your fingertips in this designed-for-two garden atelier. Famed Andy Rosse Ln, with countless restaurants, a convenience store and water rentals, is only an 8-minute walk from your bungalow. Enjoy the private beach at your fingertips, and rest your head on the plush king-sized bed or take a leisure nap on the loveseat that was perfectly developed for post-beach lounging. Whether you are a history buff or looking for a stay with coastal casual flair, we have no doubt that PO Box #7 will always deliver.
The cottage is air-conditioned and has an array of amenities, including a washing machine, a patio, and a microwave. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a hair dryer.

The cottage was perfect for my quiet getaway. With just steps to the beach. Everything about the whole experience was wonderful. From the use of beach equipment to shops and restaurants nearby.

We loved being able to walk out to the beach without having to drive and the availability of beach chairs and umbrellas to carry with us. We also loved being able to walk to restaurants and the local grocery store nearby. Our room was pretty, comfortable and clean. It was a wonderful vacation! Thank you!

Awful Experience

Awful! There were bugs everywhere, even on the bathroom towels. We tried calling the property manager via phone calls, text messages, emails and no one responded until 2 days later. They even sent us the wrong code to the lock box to get the keys to the unit. Will not be staying at any of their rentals.
