Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I’m thrilled to hear you had such a blast in the pool and hot tub—it’s great to know the heater kept things comfortable for a January swim! Finding four 'flatties' in that clear water sounds like the perfect beach day. We would love to host you again whenever you're ready for another relaxing getaway.
This was probably the nicest property we have stayed in the Captiva area. The home is beautiful, the view is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the property managers were so helpful. There was a hiccup with the air conditioning system while we were there, but it seems that the owners were more than willing to get that worked out for the next renters. We would definitely stay here again and hope to next year.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We are absolutely delighted to hear that our property was the nicest you've stayed in the Captiva area. It warms our hearts to know you found the home, view, and location beautiful and perfect, and that our team was helpful.
We sincerely apologize for the hiccup with the air conditioning during your stay. We truly appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear that the owners' dedication to resolving it for future guests was evident.
We would be thrilled to welcome you back next year and look forward to your return!
House would have been great if we had air conditioning. Voiced my concerns the first night and was told it was working fine and to give the house time to cool down. It just got hotter from there. We actually checked out a day early and got hotel rooms WITH air conditioning! Very disappointed that my concerns were brush off so easily.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the air conditioning and that your concerns weren't addressed to your satisfaction during your stay.
Your comfort is our top priority, and it's clear we fell short in this case. We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the AC unit and for the frustration this caused. We've since had a technician inspect the system to ensure it is working properly for future guests.
We understand why you chose to check out early and find other accommodations. We are truly sorry that we let you down and that your vacation was impacted. We will use your feedback to improve our communication and response to guest issues in the future.
Perfect beach house! The ocean views and sunsets were incredible. The kids had a blast in the pool, the house was very clean and perfect for our group of 7. Host was prompt in responding to messages.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I’m absolutely thrilled to hear that your group of seven had a "perfect" stay and that the house provided such a great backdrop for your family memories.
There is truly nothing like those Gulf sunsets, and I’m so glad the kids had a blast in the pool! At Dream Vacation Rentals, we strive for a "no-surprises" experience, so knowing the house was spotless and that our communication met your needs is the best feedback we could receive.
It was a total pleasure hosting your group, and we would love to welcome you all back to the beach and the pool again very soon!
