Very nice house fully stocked for the beach going group. Location close to shopping; restaurants but brought everything with us to Captiva. We have 11 ppl; all were very well accommodated. Only the screen over the pool was not in place during our stay in July. Carol is great!

Great location - great stay. We truly enjoyed our time at Absentminded. We love Captiva, and this was our first stay at this property. It was clean, decorated really nicely, and had all the amenities that we were looking for. My wife is in a powered wheelchair, and the elevator access to all the house was perfect! A couple of notes though for future guests - First, there were no staples in the kitchen. Not even salt and pepper... So be prepared to buy everything you'll need to cook with. A few small items would make a big difference. Second, the screened in pool/backyard, as shown in the property pictures, isn't screened in. I can understand that Ian damaged it, but the listing should be updated so people aren't expecting it. Other than those small items, everything was great! We were unfortunate in the weather while we were there though - a forming tropical depression hovered over Captiva for four of the days we were there. Massive rains that eventually overflowed the pool...

We booked this a year in advance and we were blown away with location on Captiva- can walk everywhere! We loved the amazing gorgeous upgrades to the home not even pictured yet, The home is even more beautiful than pictured online and more spacious than can be perceived in photos. The house was sparkling clean and a decent starter set of items. We loved all the beach (wagons, sifters, chairs, surf boards) and games ( jenga was always in evenings and giant connect 4) & grill amenities. All questions we asked before our stay were answered so kindly. We actually met the owners as they were leaving on our way in finishing the absolutely stunning pool deck remodel- so lovely and helpful. Excited about all the work put into their home. Just be aware the lanai is not present that is pictured and you need bug spray. Even with fans, mosquitoes were relentless, especially if really susceptible to them. No sitting outside for morning coffee on decks without spray. I know they are in the works to remedy that and it is a huge task. There is so much construction on the recovering island. It did not take away from our joy in loving the stay-just part of the review. We loved that on the end of the street to the right a block was sunrise and just a few blocks to the left was beach and breathtaking sunsets. 4 huge spacious bedrooms with bath & the little study with trundle bed was a treat for the little. You have so much to offer in your home. Thanks so much. Can't wait to stay again.

The house was spectacular! Better than advertised and photographed. It looks like a major remodel was completed since the last pics were taken and everything was top notch. The outdoor area and pool were phenomenal. The kids loved it and swam for 5+ hours everyday. The house was loaded with beach essentials. My 6 year old caught an amazing snook just around the corner. Carol the host and Royal Shell were a winning combo. Can’t wait to come back!

We could not have been happier with our stay! The property and the "supplies" were more than we knew we needed. The house was immaculate and all the comforts of home. Close to the beach and in our minds, the best spot for miles. Carol was always quick to respond and extremely helpful. Our family agrees it was our best trip ever. We hope to be back!!

Absentminded welcomes its guests with a warm and homey atmosphere. It meets all comforts beautifully from the spacious and great mattresses in the five-bedroom suites to the well-equipped kitchen The living room space is perfect for gathering. The pool area and half bath by the entrance is a fantastic feature, as is the one car garage space. It allows four vehicles to be parked. We loved the replete turtle theme and the signs in each bathroom ;). Lots of good times were had by all guests. All best to the hosts for their future Captiva life. Sincerely, Michela Tobin and Friends

Great location had everything we needed and wanted. The maintenance crew was very attentive at trying to fix the hot tub! Worked for awhile but needs more attention

Enjoyed the stay as the house was equipped with everything you will need for the beach and lots of stuff for the pool as well. The two wagons made the short five minute walk a lot easier in the heat and the kids loved the shovels and beach gear that was left in the garage. Will stay again if we come back to Captiva!
