Part of me wants to resist leaving a review to keep this incredible cottage to ourselves, but the Captiva Charm is nothing short of magical. The grounds and house are even better than pictured and had every amenity we could want (with the exception of a blender). The location was perfect with a view of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and Captiva Sunsets from the front porch - and also being a quick 2-3 minute golf cart ride into "town". We had our 2-year old daughter with us and she loved the house and it was perfect for our family. It took us about 3 minutes to walk to the beach and a beach cart/umbrella/chairs/towels were provided, which made it so convenient. We loved staying here and are already talking about our next trip! 10/10

From the outside, the cottage seems out of place based on the looks. It seems like it should be located on the mountains rather than on an island. It does not be all that great. But, don't let that fool you because the inside is super nice and cozy. Plenty of space for the 3 adults in the main cottage and 2 adults in the side cottage. It is perfectly situated to access the beach with a very short stroll across the street. I have never been to a beach where the next umbrella over was about 400 yards (about a par 4 in golf) away. We always felt the beach was to ourselves. The house is also about a 4 minute golf cart drive to the village where the restaurants are. If I had to say anything "negative" I would say the wifi and cell phone signal is horrible, at least using Tmobile. A few issues like door handle, kitchen cabinet door that fell off and was never fixed after reporting it as well as a lamp that does not work in the master bedroom. Also, after a power outage, the stove and oven stopped working. Hopefully these get fixed asap.

This property has a perfect location. Very clean and housed with everything we needed. My only issues was the place was double booked. The other family arrived at the same time as us. I had a hard time getting a hold of the rental agent. The home fortunately was in our name. I felt terrible for the other family. Not sure what happened to them!! The master bedroom sheets did not fit the mattress properly and the toilet seat in the master needs repaired. We had a very quiet and relaxing time.

An amazing view of the sunset on the ocean.
Overall it was a really nice place with a great view if the sunset on the ocean. I was a little bummed by the people that were staying in the house behind us on the shared property as they were loud until late at night and woke our son up quiet a few times. Only issues we had with the stay weren't major ones such as a dirty pan in the oven and some hair from the previous guests in the main shower. Both were easily fixed by us and definitely didnt ruin the family vacation. The nature around the house is beautiful and my son was fascinated with all the different lizards around the property. Would definitely rent it again.

Captiva Charm was a little slice of heaven! The cottage was amazing! It was so private and cozy! We were right across the street from the beach. It wasn’t crowded at all.
