We had a great stay at the Bungalow! The house was clean and in order, communication with the property manager was superb. The beach was so close for sunset watching every night. The bungalow is right at the start of the bicycle path to Sanibel, so couldnât have been more perfect for us. We just loved it!
We had 2 couples, and we loved the bungalow. It was perfect for the access to the beach, the open floor plan, and access to the rest of the island. We rented a golf cart, which was a fun way to explore Captiva. We also rented bikes with the easy access to the bike trails. We pushed the twin beds together and used it for one of the couples. Great house and location. Very quick communication from the property owner.
A wonderful getaway, convenient location to pristine beaches and an easy bike ride to restaurants on Captiva. Great price for a few days on Captiva Island!
The Bungalow was exactly as described and provided us with a great place to stay. We didnt have any issues with our stay. Any questions were answered quickly by our host.
The property more than met our expectations. Our host was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond to any needs or requests. We will definitely stay there if we are given the opportunity to come to Sanibel and Captiva again. We try to come every year to Sanibel.
Clean. Within walking distance to the beach. Beach chairs and beach toys a nice touch. Good location. Quiet location.
The only thing missing are draperies on all of the windows. The sun shines through the sliding glass doors in the morning and makes it a little warm. Could probably save some money by putting up blinds to keep the sun out and not run the air conditioner constantly. All in all we had a lovely stay at The Bungalow in Captiva . Thank you.
This condo is true to its listing. Beautifully decorated, very clean, and great views. Greg was friendly, very informative, and quick to respond. The area was quiet and within walking distance to some shops/restaurants, as well as a short walk to the beach. The unit was also stalked with anything we could need while staying there. We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to staying here again in the future!
This property was clean enough and close to the beach. Plenty of towels were available and the beds were comfortable.A few things made up our mind not to stay at this property again. Firstly, nearly every appliance in the kitchen as well as the washer and dryer had rust on the interior and exterior. My husband went to get an ice cube for his drink from the freezer and it had rust particles on it. Secondly, the built-in ice maker on the outside of the fridge was broken and the stopper in the bathtub was not working. We let the owners know when we got there. They promised to send a tech the next day. No one came the entire time we were there. I am more of a shower person than a tub one but I just had foot surgery a few weeks before the trip and my doc prescribed me to soak in warm standing water at least once a day which I was not able to do. The last issue was that there was no carbon monoxide detector and the fire detector was ripped out of the wall.The microwave was the tiniest we have ever seen and the shower head made it highly unpleasant to take a shower. The owner offered 10% applied toward our next visit if we gave a good review but we just were not able to do that given all the issues. More consideration needs to be given to the guest and their overall vacation experience.
Our group was three women ages 55 to 84 and a 20 month old toddler.
Mostly a very positive experience, but it would have been nice to have sliding glass door blinds or draperies for privacy in the living room, as it faced the main house.
Also there were a lot of loose cords and cables in the living room which were enticing to a toddler.
Except for the stairs which were difficult for the 84 year old and toddler, we would definitely consider returning here.

Sanibel not ready for tourist
It is sad to see the island it such a devastation state. We love Sanibel and were excited about our weekend, not knowing in what state the island was. I am sure the place used to be nice but the house is not in a good shape right now.
Sending courage to rebuilt this beautiful sanctuary!
Nothing fancy but good value for area. Hodgepodge of furnishings and rather old. Plusses were private access to beach was practically across the street and house had good space. Really need to have a working outside light to navigate the stairs at night. What was there wasnât operational. We had to carry a flashlight with us after dark.
Window treatments were transparent
Not enough towels and wash cloths
No signs or instructions to find things like hair dryer
Doors in laundry room were off the track
AC was not working correctly
Patio furniture was broken
Property Manager was not very responsive
This was my 3rd time to stay at the bungalow but having the pathway to the beach was a gamechanger for sure!!
If you like shelling, and we do, it is the perfect place to stay as you can even do some night shelling close to the house. We will be back for certain in the future!
Where do I start. No window coverings on most windows/sliders. Outlets in bathrooms did not work. TVâs did not work at arrival. No soap in bathrooms. AC was unable to keep space cool. Portable AC unit kept popping breaker. Could not open sliding glass doors. Holes in screens stuffed with newspaper. Porta-Potty in back yard a nice touch. This place was not ready for rental. I would graciously accept a refund.
We had a very enjoyable stay. Everything was just as advertised and it was very clean, especially for a beach property. We had our two small dogs with us and the way this cottage is situated, they did not disturb anyone when they barked.
As other reviewers have noted, property is dated. Appliances have rust. There was dead and alive bugs (huge ants and flies) in the kitchen and the living room area. Great location.
