Outstanding location
We loved our stay -- the house was nice and clean. It had what it needed. Being on the beach was fantastic -- very nice. From the back sliding patio door (heavy too open for frail people or tiny kids) it was a 100-150 yd walk down to the water. House came with umbrellas and beach chairs which was awesome. Literally the only issue we had was the oven did not shut fully -- the door was constantly a quarter inch or so open, and so the oven light wouldnt turn off, and therefor using it to cook was impossible. additionally the conduction cook top either burned everything in the pans, or cooked extremely slow. This is just a preference thing, but the conduction cook top caused every bit of food we made in the stainless steel pans stick like no other. It took immense scrubbing to get the food removed from the cookware. We cook because we were feeding 3 little hungry kids every morning. We used salty golf cart rental which was awesome!!
Make sure if you rent a golf cart and have kids they are in a car seat, or you will get pulled over. we did. the sheriff was thankfully nice, and did not ticket us. But they are serious about traffic rules unlike other islands we've been too such as Anna Maria etc....Captiva is a great place though. Coming back nicely after Ian.
