We shelled, swam, lounged, fished, shopped the farmers markets and had a lot of fun exploring the island with our 6 passenger street-ready cart. The house was immaculate and beautiful, we had to call Kingfisher one time because we were having trouble with the Wi-fi (we had a couple people who tried to get some work done) and they sent someone out immediately We had fun checking out all the local restaurants, The Green Flash was our favorite. For convenience, we loved having the Santiva General Store (many beer runs :), Sunset Grill and Lazy Flamingo within walking distance. I'll definitely rent again when we decide on dates, if this place isn't available, I'll go through Kingfisher as they were very easy to work with! ##### Laura K.

View and beach were ideal, ample beach toys, chairs etc. Pool was great to have and the second building was perfect for us to work separately during the day when we had to, but would also be great for a second family to have their own space. Overall the property was clean, but it’s a little dated, which is fine. Filter faucet was broken in the guest house kitchen and was never fixed, and the ants in the main house kitchen were annoying at the start of our trip. Management could put some bait/traps in to help that, and fix the broken fixture, but otherwise we had a great stay. ##### Mark R.

Loved this home in Captiva! It is right over the bridge from Sanibel and we loved the location. We rented a golf cart for rides into Captiva town. The home could not have been more perfect for our family of 8 adults and 2 kids under 4\. Both houses are lovely with beautiful furniture and accessories. The porch is the highlight ! We sat outside many nights and mornings. Noseeums (bugs) were around and bothersome but maybe a few citronella candles would be helpful. Kitchen was very well stocked other than coffee mugs - we had to borrow from the guest cottage. It would be nice if management company left spices that renters buy so that the next have spices, olive oil etc so you don’t have to start from scratch. The pool is perfect and there are lots of chairs and toys for the beach. Fantastic place….would stay there again and again! ##### Dorothy E.

Great hangout space inside and out. Pool was wonderful and maintainence was great at keeping pool clean after winds and storms. Beach is gorgeous, quiet and private. Bedroom separation worked well for our family. Kitchens and baths are lovely. Appreciated generous number of towels and beach towels. Loved ceiling fans everywhere kept us cool if you aren’t an ac lover. Two outdoor showers were the best! Lots of sand toys and chairs for beach. No sidewalks so know that before you go. Kitchen needs a few small additions- blender that works, salad spinner, large colander but generally well equipped. ##### Margaret C.

Such a lovely home tucked into a private natural blanket of sea grapes! Very well equipped with beach gear and toys to keep adults and kiddos happy. Glorious skies every morning and night. A plethora of sitting areas for game playing, puzzles, movie nights (all three of which can occur at the same time). Beautiful private pool with lovely furniture and surrounding vegetation including lime/key lime trees! Easy access/departure making it a seamless trip all around. Highly recommend! ##### Andrea B.

Sunsets were spectacular on the deck or if we preferred on the beach. Wife and daughter fell in love with the decor of the house while our 10 year old grandson LOVED the pool. Hated to leave! Will return! ##### William K.

We rent from VRBO every year, and I have to say this was the best equipped house we have ever rented. From the well stocked kitchens, to the beach and pool equipment, we were lacking nothing. Having two houses was very nice. We used the smaller house for my husband and I, while the teens loved having all the space in the main house. The location was perfect! Wonderful views and easy access to the uncrowded beach. Having a beach wagon to take the provided beach chairs and umbrellas was very nice. We have stayed farther in on Captiva in the past and were a little bit worried about being so close to Blind Pass, but it was no issue at all. The property is well secluded with beautiful plants, trees, and flowers. Fishing off the beach is awesome with daily dolphin sightings. The pool was very clean and warm. We enjoyed the screened in porch on the guest house as it was hard to use the very expansive deck on the main house due to the no see ums. Maybe they are not as bad in the spring, fall and winter, but in the summer it's hard to sit outside and enjoy the view in the evenings due to the pesky bugs. The only drawback was the guest house does sway a bit when someone is walking around in the house or up the deck stairs. You can feel it when you are sitting in the house. It left my husband and I feeling like we were on a boat for a week....still feeling that sway a couple of days after. All in all, the property was great! ##### Cherise G.

Arcadia was amazing. It was perfect for our family. It was comfortable, clean, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. We loved that there was a separate guest house so that our families could enjoy some down time in the evenings. We spent more time at the pool this year than our previous years at Captiva because the pool is awesome with such a clean, inviting atmosphere. The beach was a bit more crowded than we were used to in our previous stays but it wasn't a problem. Arcadia is the perfect get-away - we booked again next year! Only one note - if you are a bedtime tv watcher, bring some televisions or laptaps; most of the bedrooms do not have one. Other than that minor issue, Arcadia was amazing! ##### Elizabeth B.

I agree with a lot of other reviews. The only issues we had included plumbing (was fixed promptly) and a few broken items (towel rack, beach chair) also taken care of quickly. The kids loved the pool, and the sunsets were stunning. ##### Kendra L. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2021 ---
