Excellent location. Spotless house and well-equipped. Zero management communication, both on arriving, and leaving.

We loved our time on North Captiva! The house is exactly as depicted, though the rooms are a bit smaller than the pictures can show. The golf carts, grocery delivery service, and support from Fred was fantastic. Overall, we all decided we’d definitely do it again!

We really enjoyed our stay. Sandi was wonderful and very easy to get in touch with. I would highly recommend staying at the Blue Mango house.

The property layout and amenities worked great for our family of 10 adults and 2 toddlers! The owners and management were very accommodating with providing a booster seat, actual cribs, pack-n-plays, baby gates, etc. Overall the property was in great shape. We were surprised with how well the kitchen was equipped and leftover spices and coffee from previous guests did come in handy (I think we even left a couple). A few items like lights/fans and rugs could use a good clean, and we noticed cigarette butts outside in the sand from a previous guest. In regards to the island, we enjoyed it very much and like the secluded feeling it provided. A few things to keep in mind for next time though is restaurant reservations should be made at least 2 weeks in advance at Boathouse and Waterfront. The general store should be relied on for emergencies only and not for restocking of any kind (bloody mary mix $39, and Titos vodka 1L $69 - it was probably cheaper to order drinks from a bar). We did rent a boat for the day and enjoyed our time, found the island store near Jensen's marina on Captiva when we refueled to be a much better option for restocking our fridge and pantry. All said and done, our family had an overall great time and we will be back for sure!

I must start this off by saying Sandie was amazing! She immediately met us at the dock and took care of us for our 7 Days! Always easy to communicate with! This home is beautiful and offers everything you could want in a space. When you have this big of a group space can be tricky…this home was perfect! The pool is absolute heaven after a long day on the water. The kitchen is gorgeous, well equipped and we loved the open floor plan of the family room/kitchen. Thank you for an amazing stay! Felt awesome to come back home. We highly recommend!

Fantastic week of relaxing fun at Blue Mango! 5 adults and 4 teens had plenty of space between the downstairs apartment, pool, main floor and the rooftop deck. Property managers Bill and Sandy were phenomenal! Highly recommend getting groceries delivered and stocked through them. Super helpful and easy to work with. The house is in such great shape that we commented that it looked like we were the first group to rent it after it came on the market. One of the nicest properties we’ve rented this far. 3-5 minute walk to the beach but the golf cart was the perfect “minivan” to shuttle the chairs/umbrellas/sand toys/cooler/ boogie boards to the beach. Beach only had a few people on it every day. Saw lots of wildlife every day. Loved the fact there weren’t any cars: every day was quiet and peaceful; just walking down the sandy roads was a good time. We would absolutely return to this amazing property to do this again. Can’t recommend Blue Mango highly enough.

We had an awesome visit to the Island! The sunsets were unbelievable, the bugs atrocious, the people friendly, the shelling overly abundant, the sunburn avoidable (ha!), and the water was bathtub warm. I'm already missing the beach, all we have now back home is bug bites, sun tans and so many memories. Blue Mango house was wonderful! Very well equipped! We did bring our own aluminum foil & cling wrap, and glad we did. Good selection of spices and plenty of pots & pans. The location was good, plenty of room for everybody. The beds were comfortable. Please note that the ground floor Apartment is only accessible from the outside of the house, so if your kids want to stay down there away from you, they are really away from you! The owner even provided a 2nd golf cart because the other needed repair. Bring plenty of bug repellent and sun screen, you'll need it.

Our family booked our vacation in January and we were so excited. Unfortunately our stay was stressful due to the property management “team”. The golf cart didn’t make it to the house for check in due to lack of battery charge. Our groceries did not arrive until after 7pm on check in day. Some items were missing and we never received them. The gas grill propane tank was empty when we attempted to grill steaks the next day. No beach umbrellas so we had to purchase 2 expensive ones and leave them because we couldn’t take them on the plane. Most frustrating was not being able to have messages returned for assistance. Once on the island you are at the mercy of the property manager for everything. Our family enjoyed being together and the beach is absolutely beautiful. I would recommend vacationing in Captiva where the beach is beautiful and stress free accommodations are guaranteed.

We had a great time at Blue Mango. The house has everything that is needed and more for a great vacation. The owner, Shelly, really cared about us having what we needed during our stay and was very responsive.

Blue Mango is a beautiful property with plenty of space for multiple families. We loved the proximity to the beach and the island was absolutely gorgeous! Very laid back island which gave us the perfect vacation to unwind and relax!

It pains us to have leave a bad review at a place that has amazing potential! However, we feel obligated to do so to hopefully help anyone else who is considering staying here.. The house itself was very nice despite small issues that can be fixed with basic maintenance -moldy/slimy shower & bugs on 1st floor. The root of the bad review has to do with the property management company (Tortuga Properties). The issues started from arrival to the island. The Ferry service (island girl) was great! But once we arrived that’s when all the issues started.. No one was there to welcome us or tell us where we were going. Once we finally found someone, they made us wait forever with a baby, 2 toddlers, and a panting dog on a 95 degree day. The staff was ready to take us to the house without our bags, saying they’ll bring them (yet they had no idea which were ours if we had left) bc they had them mixed in with other guests bags. We demanded to stay with our bags as we feared they would be lost if not (Which we were glad we did because several groups that day lost several of their bags!!). Now on the way to our house the bags fell off the cart due to poor placement and no securement and the staff only realized because we were yelling on the cart behind them to stop. We were supposed to get a welcome walk through of the property but no one ever showed up or responded when we asked when to expect them. We also had some issues with the house (downstairs shower wouldn’t work) and it took multiple follow ups to get them to show up and fix it. Throughout the week we consistently had issues with our golf carts running out of power and having to push them (we charged them after every use and only ever used them to get to the club or dinner). When we checked out, we scheduled a pick up of our bags the day before as it was suggested but no one ever showed up to grab the bags or us for the ferry so we packed our own golf carts and got ourselves to the ferry after 2 trips and thank god we did as the ferry was at the dock and already packing up to leave when we got there. Again, LOVED everything else about the island and the house! We hope to go back again but will never stay with a Tortuga property again. We heard from other families at departure that they also had issues with Tortuga throughout the week. Also noticed people on FB page posting issues but the group owner removes the posts which is disappointing. So hopefully this post helps someone!!

We have been coming to North Captiva for 20 years off and on. Blue Mango was an excellent house (there can be some pretty poor houses). It was clean, very beautiful, comfortable and lots of fun. The property manager Tortuga mgmt was helpful. Overall, one of the better stays we've had on the island and likely will be back!

Everything was great.

First time on the island and it was better than expected. Everything was amazing. The house is better than it looks. The pool area was great to relax and play games. It’s a very short walk to the beach, and the golf carts are great for getting around the island. I’d highly recommend it and plan to return!

The house was great and the property mangers are excellent. Separate downstairs apartment with kitchen is good for multiple families. Pool is well heated for when the weather is a little cool. Very unique destination and enjoyable.

House was perfect for two families with three teenage boys. The house had most anything you needed and was in a super spot only steps from the beach.

Equipped for family fun and family cooking. Great location too just off the private beach access.

This house is in a wonderful location so close to a beautiful beach. We were two families and really took advantage of the separate living areas - the kids were able to have their own space downstairs, while the adults enjoyed the beautiful great room and living area upstairs. The kitchen was very well-stocked for eating it every night. Highly recommend it!

Blue Mango is an amazing property with many unique features and a perfect location. We were a family of 4 plus 3 adult friends. The rooms were all great except for the room with the twin beds which was just an awkward space. The house had everything we could need and then some. Duncan, Laurie and Ally were AMAZING and anything we needed was handled promptly. We will most definitely be back.
