Property grounds are very loved. Eagles nest right next to property. No inside access to 3rd bedroom, but this would not prevent me from coming back. Home is very well equiped. Beach access is a little tough if there are mobility concerns. Private pool is very nice and secluded. Overall extremely happy with both hostess and property. Would love to book 6 weeks instead of 2 the next time.

Our two grown daughters stayed in the downstairs bedroom/bathroom/sitting room and could come and go as they wanted. We stayed upstairs, and we all ate, went to the beach and played games out on the porch. Peace and quiet! Really enjoyed the pool and the cottage.

We had a great stay at this private house. Loved having a pool all to ourselves. Beach was just across the street!

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was perfect for our family of four. It’s unique that the lower level of the cottage is its own space with a full bathroom, separate entrance, sitting area, couch and bedroom area. It was perfect for our oldest son. Upstairs was spacious and had literally everything we needed to feel like we were at home. The porch is completely covered with screening. We enjoyed sitting on the patio furniture and lounge chairs when we weren’t at the beach or the pool. There is an eagle’s nest along side the property, we seen dolphins off the shore, just across the street. Margarethe was outstanding. She shared a plethora of fascinating facts and information. She was extremely responsive to messages. We sincerely appreciated chatting with her. We will definitely stay again!

Margarethe's beach home was so perfect it made our visit to Captiva very pleasurable. I like that our pets were welcomed without placing any restrictions. We enjoyed the private pool and the downstairs bedroom with living area as it made it easy to store our beach/fishing items and the shower downstairs was convenient. The back screened-in porch was so nice with beautiful furniture. Very peaceful to have morning coffee outside. The beach house is fully stocked with kitchen items. There are beach towels, chairs, beach wagon, cooler, etc.
We went to the beach across the street a couple of days but Margarethe's place is very close to Blind Pass so we went there to fish. Overall, a great place to stay and we've booked for next year. Cannot wait.

We had an amazing time staying here for our anniversary this year. We come to Sanibel/Captiva every year and try new places to stay each time and so far, this has been our favorite. Being able to jump into the pool after a long day in the sun at the beach was refreshing and really added to the stay. We will be back!

This was by far the best house we have stayed on Captiva. We have been coming for 30 years without missing a single year. The 3 bedrooms were perfect. The pool was amazing, the Cabana by the pool was Rocking! And the beach being so close Literally across the street was just the icing on the cake! We will rent again this same home next year!!!

We have been to Captiva many times over the years as a large group. This was our first time with myself, my wife, and our youngest daughter. The home was perfect for us and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was fully stocked with essentials, plenty of pool towels, the pool was fantastic, and easy access to the local beach as well as Turners and Blind Pass. Thank you so much and we will definitely return!

The owner Margarethe is amazing first and foremost. So kind and courteous. We were curious about Captiva Island after the hurricane hit just 6 months prior to our visit. But the house was great, our weather was even better, and she was very helpful throughout. She made sure we were satisfied. You can tell she’s put a lot of time into the house post hurricane. Truly a great owner! Thanks again for everything.

Captiva Cottage was perfect for a girls weekend! Location was amazing and private. House has all the amenities, fully stocked with everything we needed and more. Pool was great. Enjoyed the screened in back porch. We rented bikes, rode to Captiva and Sanibel beaches. Owner was excellent. Cannot say enough great things. I would definitely stay here again!

Cottage was perfect for a family. Pool was absolutely fantastic! Short walk to the beach via private access and the beach was empty! The landscaping around this secluded house was like we were on the island alone. Thanks so much for allowing us to share your home to create a weeks worth of unforgettable family memories! The fishing was unbelievable! We caught shark (scalloped hammerhead, blacktip and sharpnose) plus pompano, snook, trout and even managed a juvenile Permit while fly fishing the surf. Wouldn’t change a thing and will return for sure!

What a beautiful property! The private beach was amazing! It was a very short walk. It felt like we were the only people on the beach. The house has everything you need from kitchen supplies to beach towels to beach chairs and toys. The pool was so relaxing. My teens loved it! The week just flew by. We were sad to leave.

House had exactly the rooms and beds we needed. My parents stayed downstairs in the very roomy studio that has a bistro set, sofa, coffee table, tv, chairs, private full bathroom and queen bed. Only thing it doesn’t have downstairs is a kitchen. A mini fridge would be a great addition for the downstairs guests. Cold AC and separate entrance from the first floor that isn’t accessed through the main house, but worked fine for us. The main house upstairs has an open floor plan, updated kitchen and floors with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The Master bedroom has walk in closet, tv and private bathroom. Bathrooms are fairly dated, but clean and fully functional for a vacation stay. Large washer and drier set and grill were great bonuses. The pool area is phenomenal. It’s a very short walk to the beach (cross the street and one house down there’s an access path) Private wooded home was very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and for the price, you don’t find better in Captiva.

We loved our stay. The owners were easy to work with, the property has been recently renovated and the beach supplies provided were abundant. We loved how quiet the location was, especially the beach. During the busy summer months, we felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Note that the third bedroom is not connected to the rest of the home, but is a separate unit on the main level. Our oldest teenager was to sleep there, but then she decided it was too scary to be away from the family, so we squeezed our 3 kids onto the two twins in the second bedroom. It won't keep us from returning though. We can't wait to go back!

2 Week Stay
Beautiful, lush and private property. The house was comfortable and well stocked with everything that you need in the kitchen and for the beach. There was plenty of room in the upstairs and downstairs living areas for our family of 6 adults and our dog to hang out. The large screened in porch was great and the salt water pool, with its covered seating area, was fantastic! We spent most of our time at the pool and on the screened porch. We loved having the option of spending time at the beach, which was never crowded, and only a short walk across the street from the house, and then being able to swim and relax at the pool. If you are like us and don’t like crowds and love nature, you will love this property. It’s just a short drive into Captiva or Sanibel for dining, shopping, and exploring when you do want to socialize. Margarethe was a pleasure to work with, always responsive, and made the check in, check out process very easy.

The house was so cozy and the property, amazing! The beach was right across the street. But the pool area was so nice that sometimes you just wanted to relax there. Everything you needed was at the house, just made trips to Bailey’s to get groceries and enjoyed staying at the property because it was so beautiful. Loved going to the Green Flash and the Mexican restaurant on Captiva. Thank you for a wonderful place for us to have a holiday vacation.
