Captiva Cottage # 8 Bayfront 1 Bedroom \/ 1 Bath Cottage
About this cottage rental
"New and Beautiful coming soon !! Currently under construction for a fresh and stunning new look" Captiva Cottages are eight vacation cottages on landscaped grounds, right on the water facing Pine Island Sound. Relax among peaceful, natural beauty and enjoy the shared pool. The cottages are ground-level for easy access, and the shops, restaurants, and activities of the Captiva Village are about one minute’s walk. These cottages are undoubtedly the best value on Captiva Island, offering an outstanding waterfront location and clean, comfortable interiors at a bargain price. They are perfect for extended-stay couples, naturalists, and larger families and groups (rent several cottages). Captiva Cottage #8 is special in that it has a bright full-width porch facing the pool and the bay. Wake up to great sunrise views from your kitchen or porch, or take your coffee and enjoy the wildlife (fish, marine mammals, and abundant birds). Smart TVs ( 50 inches or larger) are located in both the living room and bedroom of the cottage! Captiva Cottages provides beach towels, beach chairs, and a beach umbrella for your day at the beach! Parking is limited to one car. The dock is now available for use at $75 per night. All reservations/cancellations are subject to the terms and conditions (policies) of the American Realty Rental Agreement once the reservation is booked thru 3rd party platforms. Policies include but are not limited to credit card/debit card convenience fees and cancellation fees.

Kitchen stove needs to be replaced frontright burner had a short in it. Kitchen had ants. Front sliding door lock needs replacing does not secure well. Maintenance was very good and responded quickly.

My husband and I loved staying in this sweet little cottage in a great location in Captiva. Very clean, beautifully landscaped, quiet location where we could see the Sound right from the living room, and right around the corner from all of “the action” in Captiva. The pool was wonderful; we were usually the only ones using it—and it was only a few steps away from our cottage.

Overall a lovely experience-the cottage was clean and had all the basic necessities. However, the window as well as shade in bedroom would not open and there was no screen in the bathroom window. The bathtub also did not drain when showering. But with those minor exceptions, everything was very nice. Thank you.

I appreciate the updates you have been making annually as you continue to improve on an already perfect place. While the cottage is extremely comfortable, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I continue to feel like I’m coming home each year when I visit. Already looking forward to next year!

We had a lovely stay here and it was clean and well located. Unfortunately there are a few hidden costs that we were very surprised by, for ex $100 “processing fee”. They said it’s administrative but 100 for what? Advertised as 200 ended up paying $400.

Great cottage. Beautiful location. Convenient to everything. American Realty was very easy to work with and even allowed us to check in a bit early, which was awesome!! The only negative is that we were there during hurricane Elsa. Our cottage and others flooded over night. Not a big deal and obviously no ones fault. It would have been a great gesture by the rental company, however, to check in with us and inquire if everything was alright or if we needed anything.

The perfect little cottage for 1 or a couple. Conveniently located close to everything with a gorgeous view of Pine Island Sound. The cottage is very well equipped and gives you all the amenities of the large houses in the island at a fraction of the price. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here for a night or 5!

Great little stay on the waterfront. Pretty quiet off season and an easy walk into town. Parking in town would otherwise be a nightmare! Kitchen was fully kitted out, x curiously no cutting board.
Unfortunately, the dock was ruined and couldn't be accessed, also some grey water odors from the septic near the back units that needs to be addressed.
All in all, we loved it!

Great spots, questionable check-in process
The property was very clean, accurately depicted, and very comfortable for 2-3 people. Communication during the check-in process was not ideal. We attempted to contact the property manager several times in the week leading up to our visit; however, we did not receive a response until late in the morning on the day we were checking in. Once we got a response every went smoothly, but it was pretty nerve racking flying all the way to Florida not knowing whether we were going to be able to access the place we were staying.

This was our second stay in this unit and at least our tenth with American Realty Group. Unfortunately the whole experience was soured by the last day, when we were awakened by an electrician and told they had to turn off our our power "for an hour or so" and didn't ARG tell us? No they did not.
At about hour four with no lights/AC I walked over to the ARG office and told them what was going on. Their reply was to send someone with a bag of ice for the food in our fridge. I asked about opening another unit so we could use their electricity, but we were told they were all full (not true).
Electrician came by at hour five, apologized at about hour five and said he would buy us dinner anywhere we wanted to go. Power came back on an hour later and the crew disappeared with no further mention of dinner. I didn't really see this as his responsibility anyway; everything was working in the unit before the "repair" and this work should not have been scheduled when it was occupied.
Meanwhile we had food including raw meat for our last dinner, and guests coming to share it with us. We arrived and I attempted to use the (electric) stove only to find out it didn't work, and we noticed AC didn't come back on either. I called ARG again including the special number for "after hours maintenance emergencies" and just got recordings. So all the food went in the garbage and we sweated out the last night and left the next morning. Meanwhile that was Friday, today is Monday and I still have not heard from anyone at ARG. Very disappointed given our 15+ year relationship with them. Nice to know what loyalty buys you.

Fantastic location on the bay within walking distance of the “village” of Captiva and the beach. Clean, updated, well maintained cottage and property with all the amenities you would need for a quiet, relaxing stay on the beautiful island of Captiva. Rental agency is very friendly, professional and responsive to any requests you might have. I’ll definitely be back next year.

Great Stay!
We had a great stay and would recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet, well appointed cottage with palm trees and a bay view.
Our only issue was perhaps our own we didn't realize that the check in/out procedure -- including property access, was at the bottom of an email (not the receipt, but another email "Reservation Confirmation" sent by the management company that for us unfortunately got marked as spam), thought we would mention this as it might help others.

Had another great long weekend at Captiva Cottages. Everything was clean and comfortable from the grounds to the pool and the dock, but we did miss the Adirondack chairs. We enjoy the convenient bay front location and the easy shady tropical walk to the beach. #8 has a cool 2-way mirror in the bedroom so that you don't missed out on the view to the bay.
