Beautiful property on a beautiful island! The property was very nice and clean. Host answered questions very quickly. I do think the damage deposit is very high and I was a little stressed about the refund process (which is VRBO not the host). The refund took a full 2 weeks from VRBO. I’m only including that fact in this review in case anyone else is curious about it.

Perfect house with plenty of games and outdoor activities to do at the house, very short and beautifully scenic walk to the beach with the trees and mangroves, the kids loved the pools and July 4 activities. The host was easy to communicate with—with quick responses. The shelves were stocked with snacks should we need them, other essentials in the house made it easy for us to cook. A basket with sunscreen and bug spray was available as well. Wagons to take to beach as well as chairs. This house had all we needed and more. Highly-highly recommend!

Perfect Island getaway
This house was perfect for our group. There were plenty of beach towels, bags to use to take to the beach and indoor/outdoor games. The beds & linens were extremely comfortable! The house is very private & peaceful. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing after long days of activities & quite large. The house was stocked with snacks, food & everything we needed for cooking. They even have a waffle maker! The only thing we needed for smores was the chocolate. It even has popcorn tubs for a movie night! The host was wonderful! She made sure we had everything we needed and check in & out was a breeze! Thank you for all of the thoughtful amenities, we will definitely be coming back to stay again!

25th anniversary
It was everything we hoped for and more. We’ve never seen a home so stocked and ready to just come in and feel at home. Unfortunately I got sick on the trip and had to seek help from the fire department as to what the process would be to see a physician but other than that we consider the trip a huge blessing. Would definitely recommend this home.

A great time!
We had a great time at this property and plan to return! It was very clean and had many of the things you need so we didn’t have to pack! The beach is very close and an easy walk! The golf cart is left at where the ferry drops you off so it’s easy to get to the house and saves you money. We were very impressed by everything. Thank you!!!

We had a wonderful stay at this home! It was incredibly family friendly, stocked with tons of games and beach supplies! The location was absolutely perfect, a short walk to the beach and quick golf cart ride to Mangos. We were pleasantly surprised with how clean and well stocked the home was! Gaby was easy to talk to and very responsive. We hope to be back soon!

Fantastic stay
We had a fantastic stay at this property. The communication from Gaby and VRBO was perfect. The house was great. Just as advertised. Really comfortable and clean. The location is really good. We kept our boat in the marina so it was a 5 minute golf cart ride back and forth which was really easy. Also, walking to the beach was super easy. Can't wait to come back and stay on North Captiva again.

Paradise Found
We had such a wonderful time and are so glad we visited the island. The home was just a few steps away from the water. The recovery from the hurricane in 2022 is well underway and we are happy to be part of it. Not only was it a truly wonderful visit, but we cannot wait to return. The house was perfect for our family. The kitchen had tons of stuff to use for cooking including spices and supplies and there were plenty of towels for the beach and showers. There was laundry room too if you ran out of towels. The rooms were nice and the whole home was just very comfortable. We had access to a golf cart to scoot around the island which made it very fun. The hammock was perfect for an afternoon nap and there was ping pong, giant connect 4, and a few other games to play at the home. the hot tub was great, especially on the cool evenings. This trip really allowed us to relax and disconnect, especially since we arrived via ferry and could not just run out to get something. We were on island time for real and my only wish is that we didn't have to return to work and our boring lives not on a beautiful beach island :) Thank you for having us, we look forward to visiting again soon!!!

My husband and I went down for a quick weekend and staying at the Tequila Sunset was the perfect choice! Beautifully decorated with great layout! Anything you need is right there!

Wonderful house-Great location
We have been to the Island multiple times but this was the first time renting this home. We absolutely loved it. The house is cute, cozy and clean. We loved the location to the beach! Seriously a short walk. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit especially since it was a little chilly the past week. We had a couple questions upon arrival and communication was awesome! Very quick response time. We are already planning a trip back to this house in March!!

NICE STAY
The unit was nice, the owners very helpful we had a few issues right off but the owners were quick to help! The only negative are all of the security cameras! There are NONE inside that we saw but outside you feel like your are being watched! There is one on the hot tub, one in the patio seating area in the lani, one on the fire pit and even one on top of the golf cart (I think) and a ring door bell inside the storage room.. I am all for security but most homes remove these prior o guest arrival. Overall a nice place.
