Beautiful Family Vacation at the beautiful Compass Rose

We enjoyed our vacation at the Compass Rose. The home is beautifully decorated and is located on a prime area on the island, with beautiful water and beach views. This was our fourth time on the island, and we would love to stay at the Compass Rose again. Mark Gray

Wow! Amazing place on North Captiva!

We were the first guests to stay after Ian in March 2023, and the property was in much better shape than a lot of others on the island! Everything was in tip top shape, and we had the most amazing time! The views are incredible, and the owner and manager went above and beyond! Very easy to communicate with! We would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed Compass Rose

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Compass Rose. Jenny, our host did a great job of checking us in and then assisting us in getting to the ferry when we left the island. This a a great location and the house had everything we needed and more. The interior is a little more dated than it appears in the photos, and will possibly be in need of some upgrades soon, but this did not detract from our stay in any meaningful way. Overall this was a great experience.

Everything you need and more

Compass Rose has everything you need to have a great vacation. It was just my husband, myself, and our pup, so we obviously had plenty of room. You can see the water and the beach from the living floor easily...which is important to us. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful House. Perfect Location Wonderful Vacation.

Compass Rose is a perfect vacation property. Super close to the beach, beautiful views from their numerous decks, Great living spaces, inviting pool, and oh so many games (board, puzzles, cornhole, ping pong). Property manager was so quick to respond and was always willing to help. Wifi isnt the best...but hey, it is an island...at least they have wifi. It was a great vacation - highly recommend!

Presidents week getaway

The property easily accommodated 5 adults and 2 teenage. Kitchen was well stocked and organized. Rooms were clean and private. We enjoyed the views from the roof sitting area. Caretaker was magnificent-picked us up at the dock and brought our bags into the house, gave us the island tour, We'd stay there again. Would have liked better lighting in the bedroom and living area though.

Compass Rose is perfection! Location couldn’t be better. Close proximity to the beach and nature preserve. House was clean and well stocked. Sunset was glorious from the rooftop deck. The pool was refreshing after a day at the beach. The best part was our dogs got to experience all this with us!

Amazing Views, GREAT location

Our first trip to the island. The location of the house was incredible. Super easy quick walk to the beach, we really enjoyed that the views from the main living area of the house where we spent our awake time were so beautiful. We loved having the private pool and used it often. Everything’ just as described. The sunset views from the roof are memorable. The owner and property manager communicated perfectly from day I booked the house until the day we left. Would definitely stay at this house again.

The Compass Rose is absolutely superb! The view from the top can’t be beat. Seconds from the beach and a pool that feels like a spa. The kitchen is fully stocked and the beds are so comfortable. The games that were at the house kept our kids fully entertained! It was great to see them play rather than to be on electronics. One of the best houses on North Captiva!

Perfect location and great house

This was our second visit to North Captiva. This house was wonderful. The location is great, you can easily walk to the beach. All household supplies were provided, which was very convenient given that otherwise you have to bring those items over on the ferry. The house was as pictured, the pool was warm and we used it everyday. The host took the time to answer all of our questions. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Great escape from winter

We had a great time at the Compass Rose. Daniel was a great host and his house was better than expected. His pre-stay advice was helpful and thorough making this "slightly" out of the way experience, exceptional. We appreciated all the amenities that were at the house already (bikes, kites, kayaks, lounge chairs, pool toys, and even extra batteries). We were able to enjoy vacation without really worrying about anything other than watching the sunset every night.

So Great!

We loved our stay at the Compass Rose. Everything is exactly as advertised. It's probably closer to the beach than it looks. The house is great and the decks offer amazing views. It was a lovely, quiet stay. Communication with the owners was easy and fast and Jenny met us at the dock with our golf cart, gave us a quick tour of the island, and helped us settle in to the house. We had 2 kids under 10, 2 parents , 1 grandma, and 2 dogs. The house was large enough for everyone to have room to do their own thing. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks for everything.

If I’m going to the beach, I’m going to North Captiva…

We chose Compass Rose because it was close to the beach with breathtaking views! Our party of 7 adults & 1 infant had plenty of room. Actually one room remained empty. I chose the mezzanine so I could wake up to spectacular ocean views! I do not love heights so I was glad the spiral staircase leading to the crows nest was short. It was extremely relaxing to sit in the white Adirondack chairs & watch the waves. Bliss! We loved the property manager!!! We will return again!!
