This house is truly amazing. Kyle was so easy to work with and made sure everything was perfect for us. The house had every amenity you could possibly need or imagine. It was the ideal house and location for a long weekend celebration with over 20 friends and family. Will definitely rent again!

Both the owner and property manager where very gracious and involved in helping us through the week we did have a hurricane on the island (out of their control) however the things they could control where taking care of beautifully. I can imagine what a week will look at this property with great weather - the owner has promised to take care of us in the future which was above and beyond. I would highly recommend this property and the people the run it to anyone thinking about this area.

Sea Oats is a beautiful property, Concierge and property manager were wonderful and very helpful. The property was also immaculate.
There was 20 of us staying on the property for four days to celebrate my mother's 90th Birthday.
Unfortunately the weather was horrible so we could not participate in many outside activities, the good news the house was spacious enough for us to all find our own space.
We cooked all our meals in the house the kitchen appliances, supplies and seating were plentiful.
We also rented a boat from Captiva Cruises that picked us up from Sea Oats Dock which was helpful due to my mother being handicapped. There was only one negative I was very specific about my mother being handicap needing a ramp and they said they could accommodate with no problem. The boat arrived and had no handicap ramp thanks to my husband and brother we were able to get her on board. For reference they do have another boat that is equipped .We all enjoyed the cruise all though we did not get a sunset the crew was wonderful and wildlife and dolphins were plentiful.
We took advantage of the tennis and basketball court when weather permitted the court was in awesome condition.
Kyle also help arrange spa treatments and photographer.
The only negative is the property advertises 11 bedrooms there are only nine.
In the guest house two bedrooms have adjoining bathrooms, and states the third bedroom has access to the bathrooms. Unfortunately the only access the third bedroom has is going through the other bedrooms to get to the bathroom. Not so convenient if you want your privacy.
Last but not least the only access to the second floor is by going outside and using the stairwells stationed on both sides of the house. This can be an issue if you have elders using in inclement weather and very noisy for the guest staying in the rooms next to the stairwells.
All in all we would stay at this property again but would reduce the amount of people so we could arrange different sleeping arrangements. Once again Kyle and Vicki were very helpful and there to answer questions if we needed anything

10.0 / 10.0
It is an understatement to simply say we enjoyed our stay at Sea Oats. We absolutely loved it! We were wondering if it could live up to our expectations. It exceeded them!
There were 11 of us from ages 15 to 84. Everyone loved it! There was something for every age. We loved the beautiful, spacious house. It was so nice to be together for meals, etc. but each do our own activity --be it swimming in the fantastic pool, ,tennis, ping pong, the beach, kayaking, paddle boarding, or simply relaxing with a book while enjoying the beautiful weather.
We very much enjoyed the sunset cruise,and the delicious meals from Paper Fig Catering. The gourmet kitchen was a delight to prepare daily meals in.
The only recommendation I would have is a minor one. My son recommended hooks in the bathroom for hanging towels and robes.
Many thanks to Vicki and Michelle for all the amazing help.
It was a phenomenal vacation, one we will relive and remember for a lifetime!

Sea Oats Luxury Estate provided the best wedding week we could have asked for. We were blown away by the beauty and vast array of experiences we could enjoy on the property that we rarely had to leave. The property is very well maintained and intuitively designed so that the majority of your needs are met before you even realize it! What a blessing this experience has been for our family. We look forward to visiting again in the future!

“I loved Sea Oats and the beautiful pool where I could swim all day with my cousins.” our 4 1/2 year old great granddaughter”.
It has been a tradition in our family for all of our kids, grandkids, great grandchildren, spouses and significant others to vacation together at least once each year.
Finding the right place presents an annual problem for us, not only because of the sheer number of us (27), but because of the diversity of age of four generations (from age 1 up to 83).
But this past December we hit the jackpot! We stayed at the palatial and luxurious Sea Oats in Captiva, a glorious “home” a stone’s throw from the Gulf of Mexico to the front, and a serene channel to the rear. Not only were the home and the ambiance remarkable, but the items available for us could not have been better thought out — fishing gear, kayaks, a bar, TVs, a media room, enough kitchen supplies and refrigerators to feed an army, and a golf cart for tooling around.
The very large, heated swimming pool, surrounded with comfortable lounges, tables and chairs, was the hub of most of our activities, although our granddaughter gave her Yoga lessons to all of us either on the Gulf beach or on the home’s fishing boat dock. Magnificent sunsets and wine was a nightly ritual at the Gulf Beach. A tennis/basketball court with all the equipment was in a beautiful setting for use of any of family who wanted a good exercise.
Everything worked, everything was spotlessly clean, and everything was up to date.
We would be remiss not to mention Vicki, the on-sight property manager, who showed us everything, explained everything, and kept everything in order. Her constant smile and good nature, she was always there to help. The owner was so helpful in the planning of our trip. Any reasonable request was honored.
Every one of us loved Sea Oats, and we’re already talking about a return trip.
5.0 / 10.0
This was an absolutely fabulous estate. We had 13 in our group representing a family of 3 generations ranging in age from 72 to 9. Each was able to find their area of quietness and their areas of activity: tennis, beach, shelling, swimming pool, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and so on. It is an expensive retreat but very much worth it. I don't think it was overpriced at all. The common living areas were conducive to gathering and comfort. The kitchen was top notch and the table for 12+ in the kitchen area was made to create memorable evenings of conviviality and bonding. The pool was wonderful in the morning hours and good for the sun worshipers in the afternoon. The wildlife was varied from manatees to tarpons to snooks and so on. With your eyes open even more wild life was there: ospreys, flamingoes, scorpions, iguanas, snakes, and sea hares.
It was a memorable experience for even the most jaded of our travelers.
One night we indulged in a personal chef recommended by Christine. Chef Galvin prepared a fabulous meal that even our world travelers are still raving about. It started with deep water scallops kimchi and moved to salad and then wonderful grouper and finished with chocolate molten lava cakes. Non seafood eaters were rewarded with petite filets suis vide and then seared on site and awesome pasta, The chef then left us with lagniappe of an authentic key lime pie to enjoy for 3 mor days.
A truly awesome experience. Six stars on a five scale.
