Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The island is beautiful, & we loved that part of our vacation. Home was rather run down, & needed some TLC. The screen was hanging from the ceiling on the bedroom porch, decks needing repair, home interior a bit out of date, the top deck railing was a bit in disrepair, & needed a coat of paint. The bottom story smelled weird. The top story is where the living areas were, & that was pretty nice, with no smell. Most of the bedrooms are on the second story, & they were just fine too, no smell, & reasonably accommodating, etc. The pool & deck seemed more recently updated. Note, that is NOT a hot tub in the photos, it's part of the pool & at pool temp. Also, they require a lot of work for checkout, washing towels, taking out all trash, stripping beds, etc. Golf carts aren't supposed to be used after 10 AM, but our ferry didn't leave until 2, but no other way to get around the island other than walking. They are supposed to pick up your bags, which we just had to leave outside the house in the yard, but they left them there for many hours before getting them, which seemed like a risk for theft. They required us to have bags out at 9AM, & when we checked at 12:40PM they were still there. When we got there, our key that we were given did not work. We had to wait for many hours to get a key to the house, which didn't end up being nearly as bad as it could have been, because the back door was unlocked, so we just went in. Also, we requested a Pack n Play for our baby, which wasn't there when we arrived, but they did bring one later. We also requested a baby gate, which wasn't there, & when they brought it to us, it didn't fit (not wide enough), so we were on a three story building with no baby gate, so we had to pull a mattress down & put it up in front of the stairs with a plant to hold it up. Some of the windows are not very safe, w/ furniture up to window, no deck or screen on the outside, baby could fall through if opened, or if there was an accident.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not even sure where to begin...no water for a day, outdoor and several first floor outlets not working...therefore, no way to charge golf cart, pool and pool area were filthy & heaven only knows if the water was properly treated as we all had red painful eyes after 5 minutes, microwave falling apart and falling off mounting, clothes dryer barely works, front door handle kept falling off, kitchen had no corkscrew, can opener or shellfish utensils, no directions in house as to outdoor light controls, shower faucet in 2nd master leaked - couldn’t really turn it off, area around house littered with soda cans...needless to say, we left the place 2 days early. Oh, and North Captiva Island Club management leaves a lot to be desired...such as actual property management!

We nicknamed North Captiva Island “slumlord island”. We had a golf cart with flat tires in the yard, the next one had no headlights (we had to use a flashlight), and the next one wouldn’t charge. Our pool was nice, the “pool kitchen” was a mess, door falling off the fridge and cabinets. The deck was horrible and we had a contest to see if ANYONE could walk down the stairs to the pool with out falling (2 of the steps are broken). Everything in the house is old and needs replacing, especially the second bedroom bed. For a place that brings in WAY over a quarter of a million $ a year, should be in better shape. Like we said——slumloard island. They get your money and couldn’t care less.

All my kids with spouses and grand kids stayed for a week. Great house. Big enough for all of us. Nice set up with great pool.

This was our first time on North Captiva. We came to celebrate our parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. The planning ahead of time was stressful (ordering groceries, arranging ferry rides), but once we got to the island life was great!! If you are looking for a laid back, relaxing vacation, the island is the perfect spot! The house was perfect for 10 people! Some of the beds were horribly uncomfortable, but overall the house was good. The kids loved having the pool/spa right out the back door. The club pool/tennis courts were fun too! Our family has already decided that we want to go back.

The arrival process was seamless and easy. You could tell that our rental was not maintained very well. Many things did not work including most of the locks on doors and windows. Worst of all the electricity went out on our second day there and never came back on. With no power, water or food due to not having electricity, we were forced to leave our vacation early. Lots of roaches inside home and so many bugs outside constantly bitting even with spray on.

We had such a wonderful stay at Key Lime Time on North Captiva. The house was a perfect layout for 2 families with an additional room not even used. All of the stuff and everyone on the island was helpful and a joy to work with. Highly recommend having a boat to enjoy island hopping each day. Each day you were on a remote secluded beach --perfect during Covid19 and Social Distancing. We made so many memories and will be back to stay at Key Lime Time again.

Perfect location for family holiday on a beautiful island

Key lime - Time to update!

Nice house. nice pool. kitchen is well stocked with dishes. Very close to the beach. The Grill is very nice, made some great steaks. Lots of hot water, good shower water pressure. No shuffleboard table, bit disappointing with that. Otherwise great stay.

We had a great vacation, really enjoyed our first time on North Captiva. It was a little intimidating when we found out about the ferry access and needing to plan groceries and ferry times around airplane arrival and departures. But the time on the island was great. It would have been nice if the pool heater had been turned on a day earlier. The first day the water was too cold for our 2 yr old, she'd be shivering within 30 minutes. So we went to the beach more the first day. The rest of the time the pool was nice and warm. Overall the house was showing age. Loosely hanging light fixtures, piles of dust on fan blades, and no shuffleboard table shown in the pictures. The previous review for the kitchen comments were spot on. Trying to prep meals with the knives was like cutting with a butter knife. Either need new ones, or they need to be sent to a sharpener. The views are fantastic, but the roof doesn't seem super inviting with the anti-bird spikes on the railings. Also, for the size of place, and number of people, 2 carts should just be included, as opposed to having to rent a 2nd one for extra. 1 of our carts was pretty beat up too, and super slow. The house no longer has satellite tv, its all Roku and wifi. Having to guess to figure out the WIFI password was annoying, as was having to enter for free trials on the Roku app's. For the price you'd think the tv would just work when you showed up. It was also kind of annoying that 1 of the steps for the bunk beds was broken and missing, and hadn't been replaced yet. Our littlest couldn't climb it. With a little extra cleaning and upkeep, the place would be awesome.

We liked the location and size but overall felt the furnishings had outlived their appeal & comfort. The condition of the outdoor seating was an eyesore. The bedding etc was, however, satisfactory so that is a plus. Since NCIC oversees the rental of this property our expectations of it’s condition were higher.

The island was great fun to explore. Glad we had ample previsions since the island shut down for a storm. Great place to escape and just chill. The house itself was very well used/worn. The house needs a lot of attention. There were some mechanical issues with the house/pool but they came out right away to fix them.

House was very nice with a great view of the gulf. Only thing was that the roof top deck was not clean or inviting. Would have spent more time up there if we felt comfortable.

Dead fish on beach due to red tide made it unbearable

We loved this house. This was our third time on the Island. The house is just a few steps from the beach. We think this is the best beach on the island. We’ve stayed at the North end (too windy) and the southern end (also a beautiful beach). We like this central location. This was also our first time staying in a home with a pool. We loved that. Didn’t ever go to the NCIC pools at all, like we did in previous years. We were at the beach early morning and in the evening and at the pool at Key Lime Time during the day. Half of the pool was shaded so the little kids didn’t have to reapply sunscreen as often. Pool was heated so we could keep it at the perfect temp. We ate lunches poolside. It was such a relaxing week. Even made a few scavenger hunts for the kids around the island. Only complaint, the kitchen isn’t set up for foodies. Knives are like butter knives, etc. If you cook, you may be a bit frustrated, but we improvised and made it work. We would definitely stay here again.

This is our 4th time staying in Key Lime Time and we will be back agin next year!

The house was beautiful, and the view was to die for. The pool and hot tub were both very relaxing, yet fun. The house was clean and decorated nicely and perfect for our vacation Would definitely rent this house again!

We have been on north captiva each spring break since 2008, renting different houses, as our family needs changed. This hous, Key Lime Time, is one of our favorites. The layout was good, full size washer and dryer, nice kitchen with plenty of dishes, silverware and pots and pans to cook for a large group. The location was great and th pool area was very private We are always sad to leave the island.
