Our Stay at The Bungalow
Clean. Within walking distance to the beach. Beach chairs and beach toys a nice touch. Good location. Quiet location. The only thing missing are draperies on all of the windows. The sun shines through the sliding glass doors in the morning and makes it a little warm. Could probably save some money by putting up blinds to keep the sun out and not run the air conditioner constantly. All in all we had a lovely stay at The Bungalow in Captiva . Thank you.

Nice Property
Our group was three women ages 55 to 84 and a 20 month old toddler. Mostly a very positive experience, but it would have been nice to have sliding glass door blinds or draperies for privacy in the living room, as it faced the main house. Also there were a lot of loose cords and cables in the living room which were enticing to a toddler. Except for the stairs which were difficult for the 84 year old and toddler, we would definitely consider returning here.

So much beach, so little time!
This was my 3rd time to stay at the bungalow but having the pathway to the beach was a gamechanger for sure!! If you like shelling, and we do, it is the perfect place to stay as you can even do some night shelling close to the house. We will be back for certain in the future!

Our much needed vacation!
The property more than met our expectations. Our host was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond to any needs or requests. We will definitely stay there if we are given the opportunity to come to Sanibel and Captiva again. We try to come every year to Sanibel.

Beautiful Condo and Location
This condo is true to its listing. Beautifully decorated, very clean, and great views. Greg was friendly, very informative, and quick to respond. The area was quiet and within walking distance to some shops/restaurants, as well as a short walk to the beach. The unit was also stalked with anything we could need while staying there. We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to staying here again in the future!

Don’t believe what you read.
Where do I start. No window coverings on most windows/sliders. Outlets in bathrooms did not work. TV’s did not work at arrival. No soap in bathrooms. AC was unable to keep space cool. Portable AC unit kept popping breaker. Could not open sliding glass doors. Holes in screens stuffed with newspaper. Porta-Potty in back yard a nice touch. This place was not ready for rental. I would graciously accept a refund.

Sanibel not ready for tourist
It is sad to see the island it such a devastation state. We love Sanibel and were excited about our weekend, not knowing in what state the island was. I am sure the place used to be nice but the house is not in a good shape right now. Sending courage to rebuilt this beautiful sanctuary!

We had a very enjoyable stay. Everything was just as advertised and it was very clean, especially for a beach property. We had our two small dogs with us and the way this cottage is situated, they did not disturb anyone when they barked.

Great location. Convenient to "almost" private beach. Property is dated and a bit buggy. However, it was perfect for our beach getaway.

As other reviewers have noted, property is dated. Appliances have rust. There was dead and alive bugs (huge ants and flies) in the kitchen and the living room area. Great location.

This property is just minutes from the beach. Great surf fishing as well. Only a 5 minute ride to the Mucky Duck for sunset cocktails. Good restaurants close by. Nice size for a couple or small family - good value.

Captiva Guest House
Nothing fancy but good value for area. Hodgepodge of furnishings and rather old. Plusses were private access to beach was practically across the street and house had good space. Really need to have a working outside light to navigate the stairs at night. What was there wasn’t operational. We had to carry a flashlight with us after dark.

Adequate place to stay
Nothing was bad but nothing was great either. I will not stay there again. Nice beach a half block away. We spent most of our time there. I could list a bunch of things but it would sound not picky. If you are good with ok then you will be fine. If you want something a little nicer then look somewhere else.
