About this property

Life doesn't get much better than staying for a weekly or longer at "On a Whim". Our newly renovated Captiva Island cottage is located in The Village area of Captiva, just a short walk to the beach, bay, shops and restaurants. We are located on a quiet street called Mango Ct. There is a ground level area with seating to relax and enjoy a meal in the fresh air. The inside of the home has been completely renovated with new furniture, flooring paint and much more. There is a spacious living area with flat panel TV, dining area and full kitchen. An open deck stretch from the living area to the master bedroom and a screened lanai area with seating is just off the living room. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and en-suite bathroom while the guest bedroom features a queen sized bed and full bathroom just across the hall. There is a queen sized sleeper sofa in the living room for additional guests. We look forward to welcoming you to "On a Whim" very soon! One small dog may be considered with owner approval and additional, non-refundable pet fee.

**Please note that the vegetation has been taken down around the home due to Hurricane Ian**

On a whim

The place wasn’t cleaned when we arrived. Prior guest had a dog and there was dog hair everywhere. I called management and they sent cleaners right away. So that was great. Location is awesome! We walked everywhere. The Mucky Duck food was not good at all. And they only serve beer and wine. Captiva is still rebuilding after Ian.

Small home on Captiva

Home was in a great location. We loved the back porch and air conditioner worked wonderful. A few challenges..because the home was older,,some bugs, sheets on beds were not cotton so not super comfortable and master bed too soft. A few upgrades in the home would go a long way..but otherwise a wonderful stay!
