Our group of six had plenty of space to spread out in this large 4-bed, 4.5 bath house. We liked the big kitchen, pool and hot tub, outdoor grill, screened-in porch, and balcony. The beach is an easy walk just across the street and down a shady path. The beach chairs, a wagon, and plenty of towels were provided. The house could use a little updating, such as new carpeting in a few areas. We had a great week and would definitely stay in this house again.

Very nice property close to the beach

We had a Relaxing beautiful stay in this beautiful property. Wonderful walks on the beach looking for shells and watching sunsets. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub.

We stayed at Bellativa with our 4 grown children and their spouses for Christmas. Everyone had their own private rooms/bathrooms, with lots of gathering spaces for hanging out, watching Christmas movies and playing games together. Each couple took a turn to cook dinner, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were perfect for the few times that it was too windy for the beach. The house is close to the great restaurants and shops in town - we rarely used our car once we got there. I would highly recommend this property!

Wonderful home. Perfect for a large family with kids. Loved the pool, hot tub and landscaping. It’s across the street from the library which was great for the kids. Close to lots of other things to do too.

We had a great time at Bellativa. We had four couples including my wife and I. The bedrooms were good and the kitchen was very nice. The pool and hot tub came in very handy as the weather was not overly cooperative. But we liked it a lot.

We enjoyed this place, location, and also all the amenities. We liked being near the beach but also having a pool to relax around.

Thanks so much for a great stay! The house was spacious and very comfortable. The pool and landscaping made us feel like we were at a resort and just a short walk to the almost private beach and we were in heaven. Can’t wait to return!

We absolutely loved the location and house! Highly recommend! Better than the pictures online. The pool area was so well landscaped that it felt like a resort.

We had 9 people and had an awesome time!!! Our Disney Cruise was canceled for the 2nd year in a row. We wanted to still have a nice vacation together and this was perfect!

I would rent again tomorrow—-fabulous home, great location!

This was the second time staying here and again it was perfect. Nice and clean. Well appointed. Management company prompt to respond. Will be back!

The house and the location made our family beach vacation wonderful. We would definitely come back to the house and the area. Easy walk to the beach with a 21 month old. Fun at the pool when you were tired of the bright sun at the beach. There was some confusion at check in because I was instructed by Royal Shell Vacation(property manager)in an email we had to get the house keys in Sanibel. We actually got the keys at the Captiva office.

I starting to need carpet

The property was accurately described and closer to the beach then we imagined. Everything we needed on the island was a short walk away. Royal Shell was able to answer all our questions about the house and came at a moment’s notice to show us how to work the pool and hot tub, turn on the gas for the grill, and tighten a loose kitchen faucet. We enjoyed the house for 2 weeks with our 3 children and would absolutely return.

The pool, location, outdoor and indoor spaces of this property were all excellent. The space was clean and well equipped. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

The house appropriately named Bellativa and location were perfect! We walked few steps to beach or hung out at amazing secluded pool and hot tub. Huge kitchen to cook in or walking distance to restaurants. Can’t say how much we loved this house and Captiva! Would highly recommend and hope to come back!

Michael was amazing. He let us reschedule to next spring break because of the crazy COVID19 pandemic. We can’t thank him enough. We have a son that is immune compromised so there was going to be no way we could travel. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We truly appreciate your generosity and kindness

We had such a great vacation. So quiet, so close to the beautiful beach, and so relaxing at the house. We loved the pool and the hot tub. The house was space and perfect when filled with the family. Will never hesitate to come back!!

Great house, great beach access, pool and spa very nice bonus. Only negative to a great trip, pool and spa did not work for the first two days, and washer and dryer both had to be replaced while we were there. Had this been a 7 day vacation would have been a significant issue, the 14 days made it not as large of an item.

Lovely vacation home just a short walk to the beach. Pool and hot tub were definitely enjoyed greatly.

Very easy and enjoyable

Excellent home. Clean. Well appointed. Pool was great. Had no issues during our stay. Little expensive during Spring Break week but that is to be expected I guess. Could use a knife sharpener in the kitchen. But really; this place is perfect. Right next to the beach. Quiet street. You will never regret staying here. We will be back, God willing.

Enjoy everything. Great place to have Easter holiday.

Bellativa is in the perfect location- on a quiet street with a short walk to beach and Andy Rosse lane. Everything is right there, if you want it. But staying at the house is fun too. The pool and hot tub were awesome. — beautiful,, lush landscaping. They have a beach cart, numerous beach chairs and umbrellas with the house, so no rentals needed. It’s also a large house, with a great layout. Even with 12 people, teens and adults had plenty of space and privacy. We’ll be back.

This house was perfect for our family vacation. My husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and we brought our four 20something kids and their significant others. We had so much fun! The house was great for cooking together, playing games, hanging in the hot tub and pool but also plenty of room that we weren’t on top of each other! The location is ideal, steps away from the beach. Shops and restaurants so so close! The house has everything you need.

Very comfortable and well-equipped home. Very close to the beach, walkable to restaurants and a grocery store. Lovely pool and hot tub. The only thing lacking was the bicycles that were listed as part of the home when we rented but which according to Royal Shell were no longer available.

Bellativa is appropriately named. This home has everything you need to make the most of your stay on the island. It's an easy walk to the beach or you can stay in and enjoy the pool and hot tub! I wish I knew in advance they have beach toys for the kids and pool toys so I didn't need to pack these. Fully stocked kitchen with appliances and chef quality stove. They only thing I can criticize is that the top floor showers never had hot water and the jetted bath in the master suite did not work.

Although the web site photos are appealing they do not do justice to the size and beauty of this home. All rooms are large, clean and well appointed. The kitchen is huge and fully stocked with appliances, dishes, etc. Outdoor areas include screened-in porch, sun balcony and great pool and hot tub which is fenced. Perfect for kids of all ages and adults. Best of all is the location. Street is quiet with little vehicular traffic. We were surprised to have towels, umbrellas, chairs, toys and floats for the beach. You can walk back and forth from the house to the beach in two minutes, unbelievably convenient. Finally, the home is a short walk to "downtown" Captive where there is shopping and dining. Once at the house, a car can be parked in the garage and left there for your entire visit. I would not hesitate to stay at the property again and unequivocally recommend this home for families or friends.

This was our second stay in this home, and we will definitely be back again! The wood floors have been replaced and the linens were new and very comfortable in the master bedroom. The pool and hot tub area are the focal point of the home and we spent many wonderful hours there playing our kids and catching up with family. The elevator, along with the proximity to the beach, library, and town were HUGE conveniences. Everything worked perfectly for us all week and we found the home to be very clean upon our check in.
