Captiva Barbara Sumwalt Museum Hotels

"Amazing stay with family and friends. The home has unbelievable views and beach access right on the ocean with sunsets every night right off the deck. Our hosts were gracious with their time when we had questions and kept in contact to make sure everything was going smoothly. We are planning on returning next year with a bigger crew! Kudos to Stephanie, Bob and Wendy for helping us have a great vacation!"

"Fabulous house in a beautiful private setting on an extraordinary car-free, bustle-free island where you really can get away from it all. Have your morning coffee on the porch, like sitting in a treehouse in the tropical canopy, just you and all the birds and the nearby sound of the Gulf. Easy walk to the beaches on either end of the tiny grass airstrip, or to Mainstay restaurant. Beyond that, a rented cart was very helpful. One of our favorite vacations."

"Amazing! Tony and Matt were great hosts. Shelling is unreal"

"The layout and windows were perfect. We had a great time."

"We came for are parents 50th anniversary! The house was very nice and had everything we needed!"

"We had a very good time! The area is laid back and relaxing. We stayed upstairs except for laundry which is in the downstairs area; place is clean and comfortable. Loved the outside tiki hut, and coming from Missouri, we enjoyed seeing palm trees everywhere. Watch for the small screech owl who may visit the tiki hut. He was awesome looking; visit Island Girl food truck at the marina-great food and you can grab a free cold beer! Pavilion there is fun to hang out, watch fishing boats and see sunsets or drive down short way for small beach views. Lazy Flamingo has yummy fish options which were fantastic! "

"The house and location is beautiful! The only negative, which is out of the control of the owner, is that boats like to fish right beside, and/or in front of the dock and there is nothing you can do about it so while the pier and dock are private, you will have multiple boats fishing right beside and in front, within feet, of you on nice days. Otherwise the house and location are perfect."

"It was a great getaway and the hosts were wonderful at accommodating all my requests "

"The home was absolutely perfect , clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Beautifully decorated , beds were cozy, and everything was exactly as described. The host was friendly and responsive, which made the stay stress-free. Great location and a perfect home base for our family trip.”"
