Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice house but the pictures and description are better than the actual experience. First of all, it is not 200 steps from the beach. Granted, it is close but the description offered makes you think the house is right off the beach when in reality, it is more like over 1000 steps or a 0.2 mile ride on a golf cart that was less than reliable (broke down while driving to the vacation club office). The air conditioning wasn’t working properly. My husband has to remove the air filter that looked like it hadn’t been changed in about a year, only then did the house start to cool off. Overall, for the price we paid, we were expecting a more worry free vacation than we actually got.

Great but..
Great but..
The interior looks better than in the pictures. The place was very clean and cozy. Of course, everything could use an upgrade. Unfortunately, the water is not drinkable and the remorse osmosis and filtered water from the fridge didn't work so we had to keep buying overprised small bottles. A handy man came to fix it the same day I reported it but no luck. From the description of the property is not clear whether golf carts are included. They are not. I received a vip code to reserve a golf cart for free only to be told at check-in that this was a mistake. Golf carts are as costly as a car. Booking through the club has the disadvantage that you have to do the checkin and checkout twice. Once at the ferry, and 2nd time on the island as opposed to a private host where we could park closer to the ferry and not wait 30 min for the valet.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is a very nice house, possibly a little updating would be a plus.
The internet was unstable and it was disappointing not to be able to stream videos on iPads or have smart TVs provided. A lot of drawers in the bedrooms are taken up with storage of items and reduces clothing storage for guests. Pillows in master bedroom are very flat and could be replaced.
Biggest headache was not with property but with Golf Cart rental. The cart provided broke down on second day, replacement cart broke down and they were both in very poor condition. Puts a damper on the island experience.
The staff is very kind and hard working at NCIC but on a Saturday check-in they are completely overwhelmed and understaffed. There was no dockmaster (he was assigned to help with guest luggage?) to ensure other boats were not taking reserved slips. Very chaotic on a Saturday check-in.
Golf cart rentals are absolutely dismal.
I might recommend to others but would definitely make sure my recommendation came with the warnings about docking, golf carts, etc

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Flamingo House checked all our boxes. It's a short golf cart ride to the huge beach, with parking for the golf cart. Hop back in when you're done and you're quickly back at your own pool which was perfect. The inside of the house is nice and open with plenty of room. Everyone was helpful when we arrived and departed the island. Great house to stay in

Great Property!
Great Property!
Our stay at the Flamingo House was great. Pictures and description of house was exactly as it was. We loved the pool and driving around the island in our golf cart that we got at the North Captiva Island Resort office when we checked in. Very low-key island with beautiful beaches. We went kayaking and ate several times at the 3 restaurants on the island. I would definitely go back!
