Wonderful beach house, spacious and nice layout for multiple families (two bedrooms on first floor, two on second floor). House was clean and stocked full of everything you would want -- from beach toys, shovels, 10+ beach chairs, umbrellas, shell scoops, body boards (we left 2 brand new ones as of 10/25), noodles/floats for the pool, games for kids/adults, DVDs, grill, kitchen items (s&p, oil, sugar, filters, etc). I don't know why more rentals don't leave all these items for next guests to use -- it's so wonderful! Sunscreen, aloe, 8+ beach towels, etc -- you name it, and it was available. Nothing more frustrating than having to run to the store to get some basics, so we love a house like that. Pool was very warm and kids loved it. There are security locks on both sliding door and basement door to pool which we appreciated having small children. Two nice bathtubs to bathe children too. The kitchen is a little small, but there are so many wonderful restaurants in Captiva, who wants to be cooking in much anyway. The only things that need to be updated is the Master Comforter (just older/thin - but beds are all very comfortable) and older Televisions but Karen said they are likely doing newer TV's in the near future, so don't use that as a deterrent. The beach is a short walk down a quiet gravel road, and a short walk from restaurants. We had a car but renting a golf carts was equally fun (we did a 1 hour boat ride at Jepsens and did JetSkis in walking distance from house and saw Pods of Dolphins!). Red Tide showed its face for <2 days, but then was gone and the water was pristine and perfect. This house is a prime location in Captiva, quiet road but close to everything. We highly recommend it and Karen was responsive to everything we needed. WONDERFUL RENTAL!
