We stayed here in August 2022 for 4 nights. The location of the house could not have been better. It's on a quiet charming neighborhood street but within easy walking (or preferably biking) distance to everything (stores, groceries, beach), The house was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean upon arrival. I'm picky about linens and all were wonderful (soft sheets, thick bath towels, lots of beach towels). The beach chairs and umbrella actually worked which I haven't found to be true in other rentals. The owner, Tom, was very kind and helpful with his advice. The management company was immediately responsive to minor requests. All in all, a wonderful rental. (Very minor suggestion for next tenants - dish soap, basic spice like salt/pepper, more hot pads and a grill brush.)

Overall, we loved the home. We travelled to Captiva for a wedding and only needed to stay for 5 days. We struggled to find properties to rent for less than 7 days. We found this gem and were so pleased we did. We were initially looking for a place with a pool and plenty of space for my mother and 2 kids, ages 13 and 9 but this place looked charming even without the pool and we thought the location was ideal plus this was one of the few places you can stay for less than a week. We visited family members staying at South Seas so we just used their pool once or twice but otherwise spent most of the time at the ocean so no pool was just fine The Island House is literally right behind the Bubble Room- definitely check out the Bubble Room Emporium- very cool gift shop with local stuff to buy and overall a must on your trip here. You cannot beat the location of this place- close to Mucky Duck to enjoy the sunsets (don't forget to saturate yourself in bugspray though) and close to South Seas resort and Doc Fords (a great place for appetizers and drinks). We found the house to be quiet, spacious and extremely clean. Other houses have newer amenities with pools and more updated appearance but this place felt like home after 2 days. Beds were all quite comfortable- we have many picky people in our group and they all slept like babies (makes for a much better vacation when everyone is well rested). Main shower is very nice and this bathroom is updated. 2nd bathroom had a shower but no hot water (not a big deal- we just used the other two showers in the house). Upstairs living space has a very nice layout with a living area, full kitchen, bathroom (hot water included) and 2 twin beds but you have to get there by outside stairs. Our kids absolutely loved having this space to themselves. Washer and dryer are practically brand new and came in very handy. Plenty of beach towels and beach chairs which was so handy and had plenty of linens which was also appreciated. Keep in mind you should bring everything you need- salt pepper, condiments, etc. Some places keep this but most in Captiva do not so just plan ahead when you stop for groceries. There is a small cabinet in the small bedroom next to the kitchen- it has spare suncreen, bug spray, etc (the bug spray is a must- sand flies are everywhere- especially in the evenings)- it looks like what others have left there from prior stays but we didnt find it until the last day. WE LOVED THIS PLACE!!

Very nice historic home! Enjoyed our stay and that they had beach chairs and umbrellas available.

I am an author and rented the house for 4 days to write. My writing was very productive. Nice bright open living room. Comfortable leather couches. MBR roomy. King bed was comfortable. AC/fans throughout house worked well and kept the house cool. Real feel outside 100+. Everything I needed in kitchen. Used outdoor gas grill which worked well. Walk to beach and village easily. Although I had some issues checking in (property mgrs fault-not owners), the owner jumped on it right away and took care of situation quickly. Love this place so much I rented again for the following month.

We had the most amazing time in Captiva and this house was absolutely perfect for what we needed.. The location was awesome and we walked everywhere and barely left the island. The restaurants, beach, and store are all less than 5 minutes walking distance away. Tom was amazing with communication and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely rent this place again.

We loved our stay on Captiva at Island house. The house is cozy, stocked with everything you need and an ideal location. We loved the separation of the house, it was perfect for multiple generations all wanting their own space. Island house is so charming and we would love to stay there again.

Perfect place near the beach and restaurants on Captiva.

Our stay at the Island House was delightful. Tom was responsive and kind. The house is warm and "beachy." The four of us (women) scheduled two cruises and enjoyed our short walk to the marina. I highly recommend Captiva Island and the Island House.
