Such a beautiful area! I was confused at first when entering the rooms because it was different furniture than was in the advertisement but preferable anyways. It did smell a little like cigarettes, but once you open the doors, it dispelled. The island was clearly decimated, and there is construction going on on the parking lot side and a lot of foliage and landscaping needed to be done poolside. The pool in front of the condo wasnât really usable and had orange hazard fencing in front of it, but the two other pools were working and beautifully landscaped. The access to the beach was so key to just come in back-and-forth and the amenities in the rooms were perfect. Just the right amount of everything that one would need. It made for such a happy stay.
amenities include soap and shampoo, towels, sheets, beach chairs, coffee filters, cutlery. but the dishwasher didn't work, left a big pool of dirty water after it ran, and fixtures in the bathroom like the shower doors, spigot in bathtub, and toilet paper holder were all loose and kind of falling off. one chair at the table had a leg coming off. mattress on fold out had stains on it, the bedroom had no window. it is a lovely location on the beach, and security was good, but the pool was shut and surrounded by construction tape, and this resort is an active construction site with steamshovels and heavy equipment starting work daily between 7 and 8 am right outside the entry door. Found many lovely shells, though!
The property is safe, clean, and comfortable. It is short walk to the âdowntownâ of Captiva Island, Andy Rosse Lane (15 minutes along the road and 10 minutes along the beach).
Loved the location and the ease of getting to the beach, pool and quietness. Ease of access to place and able to communicate with owner. Canât wait to go back.
Beautiful views of ocean and pool.
Outdoor grilling right outside condo. Comfortable and clean. Short walk to Andy Rosse lane for choice of restaurants and general store. Would definitely stay again.
Floors where filthy upon check in. Outlet in bathroom did not work. Exhaust fan in bathroom slowed down and got very loud so we stopped using it (second day ). loose out lite receptacles , missing outlet cover in kitchen. Toaster
oven in kitchen looks like it had been threw a war. Bathroom tub disgusting upon check in.
Location was good and instructions to access the unit were accurate. Check in time was 4pm. We arrived at 4:15. The problem was, another guest was already there with the same reservation. Left a vm and dm with the host at 4:30. Didnât get a response from the host for 3 hrs. It was late Friday afternoon and we had to try and find alternate accommodations...we were lucky to find one. The host explained the other guest was in the wrong unitâŠnot sure how they knew the unit # and access code. Very stressful and unfortunate situation. Cannot review the unit as we never got in to see it.
We had the best time relaxing and enjoying out stay. The view was absolutely amazing from the room. The closeness to the beautiful Gulf waters and the pool were perfect! There were plenty of chairs to take to the beach. I did contact the owner while there and received a quick response.
We had stayed at South Seas previously (in properties managed by the resort) and had a good sense when we booked if what we were getting. If youâve visited South Seas and didnât make use of most of the amenities, then VRBO is a great way to stay and Kimâs rentals are fantastic options. We especially loved having the beach chairs available. The view was amazing and the unit is within walking distance of Chadwick Square (Starbucks and shopping) and Doc Fordâs.
We have stayed on Captiva in this exact grouping of condos 4 times prior. This property is in a really nice location, however it has seen better days.
The floors (despite being cleaned) were filthy, our feet were black within 5 minutes of walking around without sandals on.
The couch and pull out bed were very dated and old. The pull out actually lacked any springs on the bottom of it (they had all been removed) and your feet would fall out of the bottom of the bed.
The main bedroom bed was very uncomfortable with big dips in the bed, you'd either fall into the center or off the edges of the bed.
The bathroom was very dated and kind of gross. The drain was very slow to drain, and you would end up standing in a tub full of water while you took a shower.
The beach supplies were overall good, although the beach umbrella was busted and we ended up having to go buy a new one. The umbrellas at the beach store were only $30, so not a big expense, but also an expense you'd think could be easily covered by the money you pay for renting a place.
Having been to these condos before, I'd recommend renting a different unit. There are many updated units available in this complex, and the location is just perfect!
We have stayed at South Seas several times. Love this beach villaâs! On the beach and close to town. Kim was super easy to work with. Condo had everything we needed. Love the keyless entry! Makes quick in and outs so much easier. Weâd definitely stay here again!
Property was very nice! The sofa sleeper is not the most comfortable for an adult, but made due, as most are not and we knew that going into it. Overall, great experience and highly recommend!
I have been coming to South Seas since my 18th Brithday. I am not going to mention how long ago that was but suffice to say that was a long time ago and I still love it!!!!
We have 6 total units in South Seas that we rent. We absolutely love this beach. The shelling is amazing. There is usually a very nice breeze and we love to sit on the screened in patio and watch the sun set. There is nothing like sitting and watching the sun set.
We love to vacation here it is very relaxing and has great sunsets.

We have an owner locker, with 4 beach chairs, umbrella but not guaranteed since they get broken frequently and do not get reported broken, cooler, and sand toys. This is a GREAT benefit to have access to this locker area since any other properties I have seen for rent other than ours do not have this option. If you rent with others you will have to get or bring your own beach chairs, unbrella, and cooler. This can be expensive and I provide it for free with your rental. You also have access to this on the first floor so that you are not dragging this stuff into the unit and getting sand everywhere. Renters comment on this great benefit all the time for our other units on VRBO.
