A great beach retreat

This was a great property and well worth it! This was our third family trip to the island, and the first since Ian. We were not disappointed with the accommodations and are so glad that the island is rebuilding!

Fantastic Family Vacation

My family had a wonderful stay in this lovely home on Captiva. Our group of 6 adults had plenty of space to gather together, yet the home was large enough for every couple to have their own space. The home was well stocked and the home owner replied immediately with any questions I had. The location was perfect because it was a very quick walk to either the beach or restaurants. There were plenty of beach chairs, beach towels and pool floats. I would not hesitate to book this home again. It was a wonderful experience!

Family vacation

Villa Captiva is a beautiful home. It has everything you could possibly need for a family vacation - a very well equipped kitchen, high chair, pack-n-play, toys, games, beach chairs, umbrellas, wagons, coolers, comfortable beds, plenty of space…. It was spotlessly clean upon arrival. It’s a short walk to the beach along a private lane and within walking distance to everything in the heart of Captiva. The photos do not do it justice. Karen is an outstanding host. She was communicative and quick to respond with any questions. We can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful beach home and great walk to beach!

The home is amazing! Beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we could need. Beach towels, coolers, cornhole, sand toys, wagons for hauling, a beautiful outdoor screened pool/deck were all part of our VRBO. The owner was wonderfully communicative and the cleaning service were superb. We had never been to Captiva and the lazy stroll down the sand covered quiet Laika Lane brought back memories of living in Hawaii as a young child. The beach was beautiful with soft sand and constantly visited by diving pelicans, seagulls and sandpipers. The dolphins were constant companions as well with pod after pod swimming and jumping nearby. A quick walk to quaint shops, eateries and a small grocery store were an added bonus. We didn't have to drive anywhere!

A great home away from home

This was a perfect home away from home. This trip was the first time bringing together two families and the house was perfect for that. The upstairs felt like a completely separate unit which was perfect for what we needed. Also I have three children under 4 and there were pack and plays and even a monitor to keep an eye on them while they were napping. This house came with it all. Thanks Karen!

Great house and host

This is a gem of a property. Located walking distance from Captiva center on a lovely street near the beach. Beautiful house and lovely host. We had the grandparents who slept in the master suite. One family of four in the room with two beds. The other family shared the other two rooms because you have to walk through the bedroom with the kitchen to get to the other bedroom with a king/queen. Each group had their own private bathroom. The main space was lovely, kitchen fully equipped and the pool was delightful. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful quiet get away

My husband and I were looking for a quiet get away. Captiva is not for those looking for hustle and bustle. The house was lovely, clean and well-stocked. The pool was also really nice to refresh in at the end of the day. The kitchen was perfect size for the two of us cooking and we appreciated some of the items the previous renters or Karen had left for us since some items can be a little pricey to purchase on the island. Karen is great to communicate with, responsive and caring...she even went out of her way to ship us a new beach bag when we we could not locate one in the house. We will be back...thank you Karen!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Mazzulla

We began coming to Captiva many years ago, and eventually bought the Captiva Villa in 1999. Our children grew up coming to the island as often as we possibly could! Eventually, we moved to the area permanently, and we still go out to the island as often as we can!

Why they chose this property

We hope you enjoy our little slice of paradise as much as we have over the years! Captiva is a magical place, and the Captiva Villa is the perfect place to explore the island!!!
