If you have a boat, it's the perfect location. If you don't have a boat, it's still the perfect location. Located next to NCIC (one of the ferries that brings you over from the mainland), you don't even need a golf cart to transport your bags, because the NCIC ferry unloads next to the dock of this house.
If you haven't been to Captiva Island, or know very little about it, you need a boat to get there and there aren't any cars - only golf carts and sandy pathways. So, if you want to leave, you're likely walking, riding a bike or taking a golf cart. This place comes with two golf carts, which is more convenient that we realized. But what's also really cool is that it is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Mango's, a fun bar and restaurant with tennis coursts, two pools and a hot tub. If you're adventurous, you walk to the edge of the dock, swing your leg around the fence, and walk 50 yards to their pool. If you're not, you take a golf cart 200 yards to the end off the road, take a left, then another quick left into the NCIC/Mangos parking lock.
The house itself is well designed, with the bedrooms on the lower floor (keeping it cooler during the warm months), but a little dated (which we thought was really fun and charming, with their long vertical blinds not-terribly-large kitchen). But we were especially appreciative of it because half of our (extended) family stayed at a new home on the air strip just north of us. The owners (or managers) or that property actually had cameras set up so that when they showed up with four adults and four youths, rather than six adults (as they'd indicated on their application) the property managers texted or called saying that they didn't expect eight people (two of them were under 12). My sister explained that two of them were supposed to stay at our property, which was totally fine because the owners of our property were really cool. Dogs are fine. Kids are fine. In fact, our 18 year-old son tried to move one of the golf carts while it was plugged in, ripping the plug from the transformer. I mentioned it to her, expecting to pay for the damage to it. but she said, "Don't worry about it. Stuff happens."
We didn't have a boat, which would have made it the perfect place because of their dock. But next time, we'll bring (or rent) a boat.
