We had a boat there on Captiva and I felt like I was walking out to my backyard to get to the boat. Sunrise every morning, and bike ride to the beach for sunset. Listing is very accurate. Corner unit away from the elevator, quiet and very spacious, especially for two. We would definitely stay again. ##### Susan S.

We had a wonderful stay, thank you. Love how the condo overlooks the channel, mangroves and ocean. The property management team reached out to us on day 1 to see if we needed anything and were very responsive throughout the week. A bit bummed that bedroom is next to the outside hallway of the condo, where voices of other guests echo and can disrupt sleep. The guest bathtub also clogged up a bit and the streaming on the TVs stalled out every once in a while. The power also went out briefly, but came back on within 5 minutes. Apparently that's normal on Captiva, according to the property management team. They were very responsive and made our stay an easy one. It was nice to escape the cold weather back home and experience island life. Thank you! ##### Sara P.

No matter how much one cleans it there is mold in the bathroom, the bathroom tub needs to be refinished as they have brown/black patches. There are stains all over the doors and water flow in the showers is limited. The WiFi doesn’t pick up in the unit on a consistent basis. We would not recommend this for the price point until upgrades are done. ##### Charisse L.

Property is as advertised. Great location, once we arrived we did not use our car until we left. Property faces the bay, sunrises were awesome. Very short walk to Gulf side of island, about 10 min. Property has beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels. Bed very comfy and other furnishings in good shape, same for kitchen. Property has pool and bike access, we didn’t use either, just went to beach Property management was super, very easy to contact ##### michael a. ---
