Highly recommend 51 Sunset Captiva!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very satisfied with our stay at 51 Sunset Captiva. Property was clean and very comfortable, located within close walking distance to the beach and several restaurants in the heart of Captiva Island. Our only complaint would be the clothes washing machine - it is extremely loud when doing laundry and not located in an area where a door can be shut to minimize the noise.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well decorated, clean and provided more then expected. They had beach toys for children, booster seat, pack and play, stool for little ones, fans on screened in deck, w/d, so much more. Only complaint was the bed in the room, without the bunk, was very uncomfortable. This has been written up in previous reviews. Otherwise, perfect.

Reviewer Comments: With George out the experience at Sunset Captiva was a little different. Overall we had a good stay but when we did need anything from the Mgmt company and asked or reported issues, it all depends what staff member you get as to how that experience goes. Most the interactions were positive but one in particular was not.
