Bliss!

I cannot say enough good things about Captiva Cottage! I have been back 10 days from my holiday there and I just want to go back! I stayed at the cottage with my husband and 10 years old daughter. We were very impressed with the 'extras' that we found e.g Beach towels, a trolley to take everything to the beach, washing up liquid etc etc...... The pool was a good size with plenty of space to swim lengths in. Great location, with a 5 minute walk to a beautiful quiet beach. Captiva is a tropical paradise, it is a wonderful place to recharge your batteries and everyone is so nice!! I would definately recommend Captiva Cottage and I can't wait to go back!

Captiva cottage charm

This cottage was perfect for our group of three. Its a very short walk to the beach, and when we preferred the pool, it was steps away from the cottage. An eagle's nest near the pool provided constant entertainment.

Nice stay

We had a nice stay for our first return to Captiva in over 10 years. There was good communication with the owner/host. We were a group of 6–four adults and two children. My parents stayed on the bottom level. The one change I’d make if possible is to put a small fridge and coffee maker downstairs; they are older so it would’ve been nice for them to have a cup of coffee at their leisure before venturing upstairs for breakfast. It was nice being able to bring our dog and Captiva now allows dogs on a leash so that was perfect. Nice, relaxing stay prior to the craziness of Christmas.
