Beautiful island! Home was well equipped and has most everything you may think you’ll need. This is a very remote island with limited store access directly. Plan ahead and accordingly for groceries and supplies. They do have grocery services, very expensive though. I found getting a ferry to the store myself was more economical. I truly loved being away from the chaos of everyday life. If you’re looking for true relaxation, peace and a slow down from your normal life, this is where you need to be.

Wow! Amazing place on North Captiva!
We were the first guests to stay after Ian in March 2023, and the property was in much better shape than a lot of others on the island! Everything was in tip top shape, and we had the most amazing time! The views are incredible, and the owner and manager went above and beyond! Very easy to communicate with! We would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed Compass Rose
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Compass Rose. Jenny, our host did a great job of checking us in and then assisting us in getting to the ferry when we left the island. This a a great location and the house had everything we needed and more. The interior is a little more dated than it appears in the photos, and will possibly be in need of some upgrades soon, but this did not detract from our stay in any meaningful way. Overall this was a great experience.

Perfect location and great house
This was our second visit to North Captiva. This house was wonderful. The location is great, you can easily walk to the beach. All household supplies were provided, which was very convenient given that otherwise you have to bring those items over on the ferry. The house was as pictured, the pool was warm and we used it everyday. The host took the time to answer all of our questions. We would come back in a heartbeat.

If I’m going to the beach, I’m going to North Captiva…
We chose Compass Rose because it was close to the beach with breathtaking views! Our party of 7 adults & 1 infant had plenty of room. Actually one room remained empty. I chose the mezzanine so I could wake up to spectacular ocean views! I do not love heights so I was glad the spiral staircase leading to the crows nest was short. It was extremely relaxing to sit in the white Adirondack chairs & watch the waves. Bliss! We loved the property manager!!! We will return again!!

Great house, amazing location
This was our 6th trip to North Captiva and our favorite house, yet. The location was incredible, with stunning sunset views and a 1 minute walk to the beach. The house was very clean and well equipped. My only two complaints were that the neighboring house, on the beach side, is quite close and was running a very loud pool heater the whole time we were there (despite being empty) which drowned out what should have been the lovely sound of crashing waves. The other issues was that there were many dishes in the cabinets that had been put away dirty, so we had to prewash everything before we used it. This is probably the fault of the previous guests, and not the property manager, but it was disconcerting, nonetheless.
Were it not for these two small issues, the property would have been just about perfect.

Spring Break 2023
My husband daughter and 3 of her friends spent spring break at The Compass Rose. My 26 year old son flew in Tuesday from Austin and joined us. We also brought along 2 dogs. It was obvious all the hard work that had been done to the property since the hurricane. We had a completely unforgettable trip. Jenny and her crew were excellent and we had not issues except should have brought more food since the general store is closed and no service could accommodate a mid week order. I was afraid of bringing too much over, but will plan for more next time. We did a personal Instacart to Publix and then arrives early enough to pay to have it boat-packed. They are great at island girl charters about loading and unloading all things. The Compass Rose is perfectly set up for dogs, with multiple areas of the deck they can roam without being able to exit, and the adjoining rooms were perfect for teenage girls. The beds had very comfortable mattresses (Casper), the outdoor deck with the Edison lights and lounges is magical and the outlook point is breathtaking (Although I am personally too terrified of heights to spend much time there) thanks for everything!

Family trip
Jenny was the perfect contact from the time of booking until checkout. She communicated well and quickly even when weather kept changing plans when checking out. We loved the beach, the shells and the location of the home including all the wonderful views from the different decks!! The supplies in the kitchen made preparing 3 meals/day and dessert for 10 people all week quite easy. Additional features the home offered: garage, washer/dryer, extra refrigerator space, outside shower, pool, beach chairs, outside game space and ample seating in and out of the home! Over many years we have stayed in VRBO homes in many different countries and states. For the price of the rental our critique includes: The home has not been well maintained (curtains partially covering windows, hanging off rods and some window coverings don’t work at all. Some interior and exterior doors that don’t close all the way and/or don’t lock), was generally not very clean (as we searched under furniture to make sure we didn’t forget anything we found trash from previous occupants), had roach and bug “houses” in cabinets, under furniture and in drawers, the lighting in the kitchen was poor. Most beds needed a few extra pillows as most people sleep with at least 2 pillows per person.

First Class!!
Wow, from the welcome at the dock by Jenny and Gage to the perfect house 50 steps to the beach! All was awesome! We appreciated the attention to detail with the comforts of home and the outdoor amenities like the pool, ping pong and the bikes! All the beach chairs, umbrellas and kayaks are perfect for a perfect getaway on the beach. We watched all sunsets from the top of the house and you could see the entire island. Sunrises were perfect and it was a truly relaxing time. Thank you guys for being so attentive to our needs, we appreciate all you did.

Absolute Paradise!
The house was amazing! We had 6 adults with tons of space in this beautiful, well equipped and VERY comfortable home. The living room leather furniture was so relaxing and the new king size beds that arrived just in time with the best bedding and most comfy pillows provided a great night sleep. The pool was perfect to hang out in after a day on the beach and was especially great since it was partially shaded (so refreshing and out of that hot sun). The screened in decks were great- especially the one off the living room for breakfast before it got too hot. Was convenient to have 2 golf carts giving flexibility to our group. The key to this vacation is estimating the right amount of groceries and alcohol. Just be clear about size/quantities/brands when Using Insta-Cart app and a grocery service. We used Debbie at Fresh Pick Grocery Service (239-822-7078) and Jessie at Doc Watson Liquor store (619-520-8932) who were both great to deal with. The little grocery store at mangos is really pricey ($8 for ice) and the restaurants were really pricey too. Just be prepared…. Bottom line- the house and island were spectacular and we really want to come back and would definitely stay at the Compass Rose again.

Week in paradise
We just had the most relaxing week at the Compass Rose. The house is extremely well located, half a block from your the beach and is extremely well equipped. The views are outstanding. We have been to North Captiva many times and this is by far the best place we have stayed at.

Great First Visit to the Island
This was our first visit to North Captiva but it most certainly won’t be our last. Dan the owner was a great communicator from the time we booked to the time we arrived. Jenny met us at the ferry and got us settled. She showed us the different island spots to visit during our time on the island. Jenny was highly responsive when we had questions during our stay. Our group of 8 loved the amazing amount of space in this house. The kids loved the pool and the game area. It was a short walk to the beach. The decks provided space for the adults to relax and the upper deck was a great spot to watch both the sunrise and sunset. We can’t wait to stay again.
