awesome family vacation, lots of room for everyone! sunny day and rainy days activities a plenty! so much fun

Our family had a wonderful time staying here. The house was large enough for our party of 11. The only issue was the pool was too hot to enjoy it. The temperature was 108 degrees. Everything else was great for our annual vacation.

This was our second year at Stay a Wiles - obviously, we loved it enough to come back. It's a great location - easy walk to the beach- or even to the town center. It's such a safe area with kids. We were three families - grandparents, two couples, and six kids under 8 years old -- we didn't miss for anything. The kids loved the pool and could have lived in it all week. We had one glitch the first night - there was a problem with the water system in the second upstairs bedroom that caused a loud sound to randomly come on in the middle of the night. We called in the morning, and two plumbers were there in short order and spent the day fixing it. They did. No problem after that.It's a great stay. We're planning to go back next year!

We have mixed feelings regarding our week at Stay-A-While on Captiva. The house was large and accommodated our family of 10 adults and 3 children. The pool and slide was a highlight for the trip. The location was excellent and we could easily walk to local restaurants. The lowlight was that we had rented the 6-person golf cart - and confirmed its availability the week before the trip - only to arrive and have no golf cart. If you’ve been to Captiva, you understand why a golf cart is a must. I spent the evening Saturday and several hours on Sunday communicating with the site managers, and was finally told that the owners of the property had changed their minds and retained the golf cart. It was then suggested that I contact a local vendor (Salty Adventures-who were great, btw!) to try to rent a cart. Great idea, but without having any prior notice, there were no 6-person carts available. Salty Adventures was able to help us out but I spent the first 1-1/2 days of our vacation on the phone making calls and texts. I asked Stay-A-While to cover the cost of the Salty rental and they agreed to cover the cost of if I provided them a receipt at the end of the trip. I was satisfied with this agreement and planned to leave a super positive review, except, the reimbursement did not come through. I reached out to the managers and they are now “re-reviewing” the agreement to reimburse us for the extra time and inconvenience. I will update if the reimbursement is received.
