A wonderful month spent at Captiva Cottage!

Adventure in Paradise (Okauchee, WI USA)
Review submitted: February 22, 2010 Date of arrival: December 5, 2009

Bob and I have enjoyed our month here in Captiva Cottage. It is hard to leave to go back to the icy cold of Wisconsin! The new pool has been wonderful! Our grandkids especially enjoyed the fountain and the shallow end. We love having a fenced yard and all the privacy that the cottage gives us. The beach has been incredible...most days we have had it to ourselves. Every day it is different and it is always fun to see what it will be like. Most days we have seen dolphins. Piper, our Golden Retriever, has been Queen of the beach! She just wants to swim and retrieve any kind of ball and is quite good at riding the waves. I think she has developed a following! The Cottage has an outdoor shower where we were able to bathe her daily after her time at the beach.
We have enjoyed the Ding Darling immensely and have made a daily trip there. We've seen endangered Wood Storks, the legendary lady crocodile,an alligator and so many gorgeous birds. Some of them such as the Blue Herons, Snowy Egret and Great Egrets we have at home in the summer. We kayaked in Tarpon Bay which was so neat.
We also went fishing with a guide for Redfish. We came home and prepared them for dinner. It was wonderful!
Your perfect location enabled us easy access to many fantastic restaurants both on Captiva and in Sanibel. Our favorites include Over Easy Cafe for breakfasts, picking up take home lunches at Sweet Treats Gourmet and dinners at The Timbers, Doc Fords and Sunshine Seafood.
Bob and I so enjoyed our time in Captiva Cottage. It was the 2nd year we stayed and hopefully we will again next year!
Your photos give an accurate look into the house which really has all that one needs for their vacation. It is very clean and well maintained.

Our Wonderful "First" Captiva Vacation

Rich U. ()
Review submitted: July 14, 2011 Date of arrival: July 2, 2011

This was our first visit to Captiva Island, and since we began planning this trip back in October 2010, we were very excited and anxious about this vacation when July rolled around. In short, we had an excellent week long vacation stay at this wonderful cottage! Everything that is advertised regarding the Captiva Cottage is exceptionally accurate to a fault. The cottage is located just off of Captiva Drive in a beautiful tropical setting that gives you a wonderful sense of privacy. The private pool is wonderful, and is stocked with an abundance of towels, chairs, lounge chairs, and all of the pool toys and rafts that you could want for adults, teenagers, or small children. The short 200-yard straight shot to the beach across the street was also a big plus. Most of the time we had the beach all to ourselves, and the cottage offered a more than adequate number of beach chairs, along with a convenient wagon to take them down to the beach in. Inside the cottage, the kitchen was well stocked for those that might want to prepare a big meal for a big family. There was plenty of cookware, serving bowls and platters, utensils, plates, bowls, etc. and we easily preapred several meals for a family of 6 during our stay. The very large screened porch just off of the living area and master bedroom (complete with 2 ceiling fans), provided a very nice place to spend evenings and early mornings. The location of the Captiva Cottage was excellent, as we were only 5 - 10 minutes from Sanibel activities and the Captiva village. This cottage is an excellent place to stay if you want privacy with proximity to everything on the island, and we highly recommend it to anyone planning a short or extended stay on Captiva Island! We're already planning our next visit!

Owners response: Thank you for your review! I like to chime in: the highpoint of the day is often a walk to the beach and even after almost 20 years of living here it still strikes me how beautiful and deserted the beach is.

I cannot say enough good things about Captiva Cottage! I have been back 10 days from my holiday there and I just want to go back! I stayed at the cottage with my husband and 10 years old daughter. We were very impressed with the 'extras' that we found e.g Beach towels, a trolley to take everything to the beach, washing up liquid etc etc...... The pool was a good size with plenty of space to swim lengths in. Great location, with a 5 minute walk to a beautiful quiet beach. Captiva is a tropical paradise, it is a wonderful place to recharge your batteries and everyone is so nice!!
I would definately recommend Captiva Cottage and I can't wait to go back!
