**Hurricane Milton Update**
While Hurricane Milton affected the area on October 9th, we were fortunate to experience no direct impact. We understand that the condition of the island and the availability of restaurants, shops, and amenities are an important part of your vacation experience. That’s why we aim to provide you with the most current, transparent information available.
Sweet BLou is a beautifully renovated, brand-new condo designed to give you everything you need to enjoy your stay. It’s within walking distance of the beach as well as reopened local favorites like the Provision Store, RC Otters, Green Flash, Captiva Pizza, The Beach Store, and The Island Store. Betty Boop’s has already reopened, and the Bubble Room should be ready by the beginning of 2025. A bit further but still accessible by foot or a short golf cart ride, The Shipyard, Crow’s Nest, and Old Captiva House are also open. Mucky Ducks may remain closed, though we’ve heard they’re working to reopen. Nearby Rosalita’s is open and just a short drive away, while Sanibel offers additional dining options. A popular recommendation is the Lady Chadwick boat tour to Cabbage Key and/or Useppa, which is also back in operation.
The beach is open as well our amenities! This includes the pool, the grill, the washer & dryer, and the pickle ball/tennis court. However, the elevator may still be under repair due to ongoing permit and parts processes. Please check in with us on any updates regarding the elevator.
Please note, there may be ongoing construction going on in the area during your stay due to back to back hurricanes. Please reach out to us if you have questions regarding the current state of the area.

What we love about this residence — This condo is one of just a few with a sunset facing exposure, allowing guests to catch the world famous Captiva sunsets from the comfort of their upscale residence. Crisp, cool, breezes from the comfort of your lanai as you sip coffee in the morning. Relax and take much needed naps in any of the three Posturepedic mattresses after a long day at the beach. Take advantage of community gas grills to achieve those perfect grill marks on your catch of the day after fishing with one of the many guides out of Bayside Marina. Catch up on Netflix on any of the 50``+ HD televisions in the unit, for those lazy days in the condo. Rise in the morning and grab a coffee from the Starbucks located less than 1000 feet from the condo or take a short 10-minute walk to the Village of Captiva. The beach is only a 5-minute stroll down the boardwalk from the condo.
