The golf cart and kayaks were nice to have! The location on the island was very quite. The house has pretty much everything you need for your stay. Had a few issues, nothing major, the key in the lock box did not work for the handle lock of the door. We just ended up not using the key since there was a code system for the dead bolt. Would have liked the couch and chairs to have linens or covers on them so they could be washed in between guest. Could use some lights under the house so you can see to use the grill at night. The fireplace was just for show but since it was actually cold during our stay we were disappointed we couldn't use it. Would have loved the Keurig to come with k-cups because it's hard to use a whole 24 pack from the store in 1 week. Overall this was a good experience but not sure if we'd do it again primarily because of the high cost of getting to and staying on the island.

IT WAS INFESTED WITH ANTS, THE BBQ GRILL DID NOT WORK, ALL THE WINDOWS WERE BROKEN AND WOULD NOT CLOSE THEREFORE COULD NOT USE THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE PORCH WAS ROTTEN AND FALLING DOWN, THE STAIR RAILING WAS NOT SECURE AND DANGEROUS, AND THE PROPERTY MANAGERS "SHALLY SOMETHING" TOLD THE OWNER THAT WE WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE HOUSE INSTEAD OF ASKING FOR THE REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THEY ALSO LIED TO THE OWNER AND TOLD HIM WE CALLED HIM A BUNCH OF NAMES AND SAID BAD THINGS ABOUT HIM AND HIS HOUSE WHEN ALL WE WERE TRYING TO DO IS TO GET THE REPAIRS THAT IT NEEDED. THEREFORE MY DISSABLED HUSBAND AND I A 65 YEAR OLD WERE TOLD TO GET OFF THE PROPERTY WITHIN 24 HOURS AND IF WE DIDN'T DO THIS REVIEW HE WOULD REFUND OUR MONEY ....WHICH HE HAS NOT DONE YET AND WE LEFT THERE OVER 2 WEEKS AGO ON NEW YEARS EVE. WE HAD NEVER BEEN TO AN ISLAND AND THEY DID NOT HELP US NAVIGATE THE TRAVEL TO AND FROM THE ISLAND. THE PROPERTY MANAGER COMPANY SHALLY SOMETHING WAS RUN BY A VERY YOUNG MARRIED COUPLE THAT ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN PROPER BUSINESS EDICATE AND TREATED US VERY DISREPECTFULLY. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE BROKEN ITEMS THAT WERE UNSAFE AND VIDEOS OF THE OTHER REPAIRS FOR THE CLOSET AND LAMPS AND LIGHTS AND WINDOWS THAT WOULD NOT WORK. I WOULD GLADLY SEND THEM TO YOU. TO DATE WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN OUR REFUND AS HE PROMISSED AND I ALSO HAVE THE TEXTS THAT HE SENT THRU VRBO THAT HE WAS ISSUING THE CREDIT AND THE AMOUNT IS ALSO ON THE MESSAGES ON VRBO SITE. CAN YOU HELP US COMPLETE THE BUSINESS WITH THIS OWNER FOR OUR REFUND PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Charming, eclectic cottage located within walking distance of beautiful beach. Sean, Ally and Brian were most helpful with grocery shopping, fresh fish and even a liquor run. The cottage was well equipped, clean and stocked with plenty of towels, linens, detergents and bathroom supplies. Lots of wildlife to see from the porch, by golf cart or bicycle. Look for the manatees, the beautiful giant pileated woodpeckers in the trees by the front porch, raccoons, and lots of nesting ospreys. And, oh, the beautiful sunrises and sunsets can’t be beat!

We had a fantastic time on the island! The house was nice but the bikes were in terrible condition, the golf cart battery had issues and at one point when we were on the opposite end of the island would only go backwards so we had to go in reverse the whole way home. We requested towels, washcloths and basic cleaning items and Ally was responsive. Hubby left brand new hearing aids and when cleaners found them she shipped them home. I would stay again but would check to make sure bikes and golf cart were in top top shape. The grocery store on island is minimal and expensive so make sure to bring your own drinks and food!

Good stay there. Had some issues from time to time but quick responses helped.

We had a great time on the island. Everything was just as advertised. Hope to return in the future.

I am a luxury travel writer. I've traveled around the world many times staying at the finest five star++ establishments - some so exclusive they are only known to those in the know. This was an escape I chose to take with my family, to step away from everything. I only wished to relax, revive and regenerate after what has undoubtedly been a trying time for most. I sought old world tradition, style and ambiance - a return to a time and place uncomplicated by the "grid." What we discovered was a haven where time stood still. The inviting, warm wood-styled home welcomed us with "old Florida" grace through high ceilings and decor reminiscent of a Hemingway novel while also providing the creature comforts of all the modern upgrades we appreciate. The stresses of everyday life disappeared while resting on the patio surrounded by warm breezes, the soft music of the wooden pelican wind chime and some of Mother Nature's finest handiwork. We met our neighbor - a rare gopher tortoise my son named Benjamin who was friendly although understandably more focused on eating than fraternizing. When a coconut fell from the tree, we opened it and showed my son how to drink and eat from this miraculous fruit. Our days were filled with exploration - jetting around the sandy roads on the snazzy golf cart, waving and chatting with other residents - everyone is so friendly, and who wouldn't be in such paradise! We rode the bikes on lush jungle trails, scouted for bobcat footprints and skimmed through the canals straight out of Disney's Jungle Cruise on the kayaks. We gathered the beach chairs and enjoyed front row seats for the stellar sunrises on one side of the island and the even more spectacular sunsets on the other. Needless to say, N. Capitva is aptly named as I was captivated, entirely. There is magic in this place. The worries of the world simply vanish, no abracadabra required - just a reservation.

This was a honeymoon spot for us as we got married after 9 yrs. this time ( we was high school sweethearts), we wanted a place to just be us and to be able to reset and that’s exactly what we found !! Love this place and will be back. Lizabeth

Perfect getaway for me and my wife. Spectacular in every way!

Very serine and beautiful property

We had everything we needed and the house was spotless. The updated home and appliances were appreciated. A lot of thought went into making this a perfect vacation stay. The owner was attentive to our needs.

This place is awesome. We just left from a full week stay here and loved every minute. The unit is a full house that worked great for my family of 3 little kids. They provided everything needed to be on the island including dock pick up, bag transport and a golf cart for getting around the island. This place is old world Florida and felt like we were off the grid. We will absolutely be coming back. The owners were great to work with every step of the way. The island is so small that you get to see the sunrise and sunset. We loved it.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. It was a lot different from what we typically do, but we had such a good time, we’re already trying to decide when we can return. No time schedule, no agenda, no traffic, really, there is nothing to stress over, once you’re there. But even getting there was no hassle. We easily found transportation both, land and water taxis were a pleasant part of our trip as well. The house is rustic, but updated, and very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The staff checking us in, and getting us settled, was super friendly, and relaxed. No stress...that’s how we felt, and why were so impressed with this house and vacation spot! We’ll definitely return!

This was our first trip to North Captiva Island and halfway through the week we were already planning our second trip! Tortuga Property Management (Lori and Duncan) were AMAZING to work with, their detailed notes regarding groceries, transportation from the airport and arranging for our water taxi were incredibly detailed and easy to follow. We appreciated their follow-ups to ensure we had everything we needed. We enjoy a great escape and family time, so Seaclusion Too was the perfect property for us. Our house was well appointed and certainly exceeded our expectations!

This cottage is just amazing, with all the wood and pocket doors you felt like you were on a old well appointed ship! Lots of updates, beautiful bedrooms, comfy beds and modern kitchen. It was my 60th birthday trip and everything we hoped for and more. Already planning next years stay and can’t wait!

Wonderful time. Great communication with owner. Private road without direct neighbors. There is bikes and kayaks at the house, no need to goto club. Nice and clean.

If looking really to relax, the perfect place. To unwind. Beautiful beaches . We had the best weather beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Thank you for sharing your home. The crew was awesome.

WOW!!! What a serene vacation, awesome island and a truly great property in the heart of it all. If you’re looking for a vacation to get away and leave the day to day behind, this is it!!!

Property is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
