This house is large and accommodates many people. It was nice to have bathrooms for every bedroom and 2 washer and dryers. My only complaint is the photos do not match the bedrooms and need to be updated. We were expecting 1 bedroom to have 2 bunk beds. It did not.

Our family has traveled to Captiva Island four times since 2013 and this stay was one of our best. We stayed at the Barefoot Way. This beautiful home was able to accommodate all 10 of our family members with room to spare. The pool and the lower game room was used extensively by all. The few questions that we had were immediately answered by the AMRC staff. We would rank this property a 6 on a 1-5 was beyond our expectations.We will rent this property again the next time we stay on Captiva Island.

We rented the beautiful Barefoot Way for the week of sept 21-28. The house is an amazing liocation, just steps to the ocean and the amazing sunsets. The house was very clean and well stocked. Unfortunately hurricane Helene decided to join us. American reality went above and beyound with communication and preparations. Lisa and Albert, the same folks that we spoke to while renting, were the same people that called with information and came to the house to prep us for what was coming. We could not be more appreciative of the attention that was given to us and could not think of a better place to ride out a storm.

Rented for two weeks over the July 4th holiday. The house was great, all amenities we needed were there. House was clean and well maintained. We have rented this house for several years, and will continue to do so as long as it is available. Beautiful views, well appointed, pool great. American Realty staff very friendly and responsive to our needs.

Bare Foot Way is our go to place in Florida. We have been coming here for many years and love the place. The only room for improvement is the barbecue, needs an upgrade.

Our stay post Ian was very different, not because of the house (it was great), however because of the recovery the island is going through. The house was perfect, a lot has gone into it to get it back in shape. The landscaping was tremendous, still needs to grow however lots of new, beautiful plants. Lots of amenities, have already rebooked.

Our family has been coming down to the tropics for 20 years,weâve been to South Carolina, east coast of Florida, St. Thomas Island in the Caribbean and a few other locations. Barefoot Way in Captiva is the best place weâve ever stayed at. The house was so nice with the awesome pool, and the beach access was amazing. There was 10 of us plus our 2 grand babies that were in the house for a week and we had plenty of room for all our needs. The location of the house was perfect so close to Sanibel and Captiva for places to go. This is the first place that weâve stayed at that none of us wanted to leave, it was true piece of paradise!!! We definitely want to stay there again. Thanks again for making our vacation so perfect. Russ and Daphne Johnson and family!!!

We rented Barefoot way home from American Realty of Captiva. Everything they promised was there. They even surprised us with a large gift certificate to a local restaurant. The house of course was beautiful and fully stocked with cooking utensils.The elevator was a life saver for taking up luggage.Even after Ian the area where we were was almost normal.

We spent two weeks at Barefoot Way on Captiva during July 2022. The home was everything we wanted. Clean, roomy, with lots of thought given as to what might make your stay even better. Plenty of towels, kitchen well stocked, access to premium channels on TV. Very clean. Already booked for a return in 2023.
Beautiful home on the beach. Large enough for our family of 8 adults. We enjoyed the kitchen and the pool and the beach. Our biggest complaint was the homeowner needs to disclose that the 2nd master upstairs is locked and unavailable. Also, the mattresses downstairs were uncomfortable and we had issues with the temperature differences in the downstairs bedrooms. The house has a beautiful view of the sunset and the location is nice and private and close to fun restaurants and activities.

Couldnât be a better on the beach location and lovely home; lovely home but for the money kitchen not well stocked. No pot holders and no decent can opener. Could use more large pots/ pans for cooking. Only 5 bedrooms so small for money spent. Refrigerator smelled bad. Place needs a deep clean.

What a perfect week we had in Captiva at Barefoot Way. The house is amazing. Right on the beach with a huge pool, big rooms with comfy beds and great common spaces â den, great room, breakfast nook and kitchen are all perfect. Sonos speakers throughout made listening to tunes easy and enjoyable. Elevator was critical throughout stay, including rolling our full cooler to the beach every day. Local rental agencies have all delivered to the house before, so dropoff and pickup of paddle boards, golf cart, baby equipment and initial groceries was a breeze. Would recommend this house for any group, including families with kids. Game room downstairs was a lot of fun. Equipment is a little beat up, but as to be expected given its a rental, and it all worked so OK. American Realty was super responsive to any inquiries. One negative surprise was that the retractable screen controls on the main level back porch arenât accessible to the renters so there was no way to have the porch screened in, which at night was an issue. We basically couldnât sit on the back porch in the evenings despite citronella candles and bug spray as the bugs start swarming around sunset and continue into the night. This isnât something to not rent the house over, but good to know going in, and maybe something the owners could reconsider. Overall an incredible stay and we would love to go back!

We had a great week at Barefoot Way. During a time when social distancing was encouraged the amenities made staying at the property very enjoyable. The pool and outdoor area in general was great and the proximity to the beach was wonderful. The sunsets were gorgeous! The home was clean and well stocked with towels which was helpful. We loved our stay in this beautiful home.
First off let me say that we did thoroughly enjoy our stay and thought the place was wonderful. My comments are more based on the fact that price point did not meet typical high end standards it should have. At nearly 20k for the week, I find it crazy that the owner would lock one of the only two water front view bedrooms, and also lock the workout room. There is very little in the house for a typical vacation - not even soap dishes or hand towels in the baths. Place was super clean and great - just found that our prior luxury rentals seemed to have more amenities for this price point. The house easily sleeps 20 but they lock it to 10 and charge the same amount as others.
A wonderful, updated , place! Sunsets were spectacular!

A Wonderful, relaxing holiday! We only had 1 problem , the coffee pot died. Someone delivered a new coffee pot within a few hours . The location is in the middle of Captiva and Sanibel. ( a car ,golf cart or bikes are needed) The beach felt like our own personal private beach. We would definitely book this beautiful place again. It felt like an exclusive resort, you wonât want to leave.
