Great stay at Sunset Captiva

We had a great time here! It needed a bit of a cleaning when we arrived and the property manager took care of it immediately. Great communication and we had such a good time on the screened in porch. House needs a bit of an update compared to other homes we have stayed in at this property but it was just fine for the four of us. So close to the beach and the pool is great too. Also there is a ton of beach equipment to use which is very nice.

Only issue we had that isn’t easily resolved is nothing we plugged into the electrical outlets would stay in the outlets. Everything would just fall out of the outlet.

You are close to the beach and within walking distance to all restaurants and shops along with having access to the pool and tennis courts. #56 is charmingly decorated and updated and stocked with just about everything you could need for cooking and staying in if you want along with a wagon to load your beach items in to make your time at the beach easier. We really enjoyed our stay at #56 it was clean and fit our family of 6 very comfortably.

Pool looked inviting but spent so much time on beach that we didn’t get to use it. House while nice could use some updating in bathrooms most importantly. Albert and Rod were very responsive to our 2 small problems of screen room handle came loose and beach umbrella replacement after one of ours took sail on the only slightly windy day we had!Happy to see the recovery of Captiva. The last we visited was 2018 and had reserved for 2022 but unable to come until this visit!Hope to come back next year!!

Reviewer Comments: We had originally booked a week at another property managed by American Realty for March 2023, right before Ian hit.They worked with us to rebook our stay for Jan 2024, but when the property wasn't going to be available due to delay in repairs, they offered us this property. We were very happy with this unit and with the help Albert and Lisa provided us. This unit is up to date and very clean. The pool was great, and access to the beach was perfect. We would highly recommend this unit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 56 Captiva was a great location to the town area and the pool and beach. The walk to all locations was very pleasant. The property outside area manager was friendly and very informative. The house was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. We would have liked a broom to sweep the sand we tracked on outside steps and inside the front door. The electric outlet on the west wall in the dining room sparked. We noticed that most of the old outlets need to be replaced as device plugs don’t fit tightly anymore. We would rent this property again.

Loved the Sunset Captiva Community, but #56 needs some updating

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the Sunset Captiva community. #56 was about a five minute walk to the pool and beach access. American Realty was very responsive and professional. The unit itself needs updating. Upon arrival, the toilet was running in master bedroom so we had to immediately have maintenance come fix that. While we were there, maintenance had to come and replace valves for insurance purposes. The A/C unit could not keep the unit cool during the daytime. American realty had someone come check it out, but not much they could do. Thermostat would be set to 72 and it would be 78 in unit. We would just go to the unit my brother rented to get cool! The back deck stairs were blocked off because they need to be replaced. The unit was clean and overall decorated nicely. I would definitely recommend American Realty and staying at Sunset Captiva, but maybe not this unit.

Sweet Escape

My husband, four kids and myself had an amazing restful stay. Very charming home within walking distance to everything. The house had everything we needed with enough room for us to be together and have relaxing quiet time. There was one hiccup and within a few moments of me reaching out it was repaired. We will definitely be returning. Cannot say enough great things about this sweet escape.
