Gardenia room
I liked the white washed walls. The floors were nice. The couch and the dinner table were nice. The two white chairs were dirty in the bathroom. Walls were dirty. The bedrooms were beautiful. The beds were nice. It was very difficult to use the TV it was hard to navigate for the amount of money that we paid. We should’ve had a free breakfast. It does say Captiva Island bed. We still will always come down because we love Captiva. Thank you you letting us stay in your facility.

Cozy paradise
This place was just renovated so everything was new and pristine. While it’s not directly on the beach it’s a short walk to the beach. Plenty of restaurants and a grocery store nearly across the street. We brought our bikes and adventured around the island. Saw lots of shells and dolphins. Thank you.
