We enjoyed our stay on the island. Jenny, the property Mgr, and her staff were very nice and helpful. They transported our luggage to and from the boat and gave us a little tour upon arrival. The house was casual, which allowed us to relax and nap in the hammocks, and very close to the beach. The included golf cart was very convenient for buzzing down to the beaches or any of the island businesses. We loved our stay!! ❤️

I cannot say more wonderful things about this property. The unique shape and style of this home allowed us to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the 360 degree porch at all times of day comfortably. The house was well kept and comfortable for my family of 4. My two young children enjoyed the bonus room upstairs while my husband and I loved having our morning coffee on the rooftop deck. The homeowner answered our questions and concerns almost immediately and made sure that we knew every step to take to make the grocery order, ferry, shuttle and other details easy for us. Jenny, the house manager was also readily available. She met us at the dock and gave us a tour of the island and even helped us to unpack. The location of this home is honestly the best on the island. The golf cart was so much fun and was very easy to use. The house also came equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas and beach toys for the kids. It is steps away from the best wide, sandy beach filled with the most beautiful shells. It was the most relaxing, peaceful trip we have ever taken with our family. We were so grateful to Cheryl for sharing this amazing home with us.

Had a wonderful week! Loved the house, the beaches, the wildlife, and the amazing rooftop view! Management was incredibly accommodating and friendly.

The house was as advertised and the location on the island is perfect! We had a great time at the beach and enjoyed taking the golf cart to the restaurants on the island. We also enjoyed the sunrise and sunset from the crows nest on the roof. Jenny and her team were very helpful and quickly handled any needs we had.

This place is a gem. My favorites are the amazing view at the top of the house, the huge wrap around porch, and the time and energy the owners put into making quiet spaces all around to relax and enjoy the Floridian beauty. We didn't want to leave!

LaySea8 was just perfect for our family! It is such a comfortable house with so many sweet spots to relax -hammocks, sitting areas, lounge chairs and roof top deck . Screened in deck was a perfect retreat for meals. It is close to the reserve which makes for a great walking area and quick walk or golf cart ride to beach. We can't wait to re-book LaySea8 for 2023. Thank you Cheryl and Jenny for making our stay on North Captiva so easy!

We loved our time at LaySea 8! It is located on the last road right across from the nature preserve, which means it is very quiet. It’s an easy walk to the beach. The house itself is so comfortable, the best feature of which is its incredible 8-sided screened-in porch. We ate all of our meals out there and enjoyed the three hammocks and other lounging furniture. Cheryl (owner) and Jenny (property manager) were absolutely wonderful—easy to communicate with and very responsive. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Sweet little property and perfect for a small group. It was just me, my husband and our daughter traveling this time so perfect size. The upstairs has gorgeous 360 degree views and was a perfect spot for morning coffee and afternoon reading during the rain showers. The property is in need of updating in some areas (2nd bath) but the owners renovation of the master bath is excellent so I feel like this will come with time. The kitchen was excellently stocked for any cooking you need to do. All in all perfect location if what you want to do is sit on a beach and relax! Which we did.

Close access from the home to the best beach on North Captiva. The upstairs room was great for kids to sleep and relax. The master bedroom and bath was very comfortable and private.

I don't think you could pick a better location. This house is so close to the prettiest beach on the island. The house and amenities were more than we could have anticipated. We had such an amazing week. Check in was easy, and Cheryl responded so quickly to answer my questions and made us feel welcome. Thank you for letting is stay in your house in paradise. Cant wait until next time!

This is a clean and comfortable house in a great location (2-3 minute walk from the beach). It's not super posh but it had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the upstairs room (360 degree views) and the crow's nest. The outdoor shower and included golf cart are MAJOR benefits! Communication with the owner was fast and easy. Every time I sent Cheryl an e-mail I got a response almost immediately. She was extremely helpful with info on the ferry, the grocery delivery service, restaurants on the island, etc. Really a pleasure to deal with. Finally, Jenny the property manager was great. She picked us up at the ferry with carts and a trailer to haul our luggage, gave us a quick tour, and restaurant / activity recommendations. She also sent someone to change a smoke detector battery that started chirping in the middle of the night (it was way too high on the ceiling to reach w/o a big ladder). Problem solved the next morning.

We had a great experience staying at this house. Host was very accommodating! Location was awesome close to everything. Everything exceeded our expectations!
