What we loved about this property was access to the beach, the ocean view, the cute decor, and the accessibility to the the rest of the island. The owners' communication was excellent, which we really appreciated. A small but also appreciated amenity was that there was a nice TV in both bedrooms, as well as in the shared space. This owner also provided games and books - a great perk! We would love to see an upgrade on the lanai furniture, which was metal and very uncomfortable. Part of the value of the property is the ocean view, which was great but would have been more enjoyable had the furniture been more accommodating. We did appreciate that there were 2 beach chairs and an umbrella. There should be 4 chairs for a property that sleeps 4-6.

Thank you for the 4-star review and for your detailed feedback! I am so glad you enjoyed the ocean views, the "island-vibe" decor, and that the extra touches like the books, games, and multiple TVs made your stay more enjoyable. At Dream Vacation Rentals, we strive for a "no-surprises" experience, and your honest input is exactly what helps us maintain that. I sincerely apologize that the lanai furniture and the number of beach chairs didn't meet your needs. We want you to be able to fully relax while soaking in that view! I have already shared your comments with the property owner—we are currently looking into more comfortable seating options for the lanai and will ensure the beach chair inventory is increased to properly accommodate groups of your size. It was a total pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate you highlighting our communication. We would love to welcome you back for a 5-star experience once those upgrades are in place!

Captiva

To much of a construction zone
Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 12 February 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We understand your comment about the construction, and we apologize if it detracted from your overall experience. We strive for complete transparency with our guests, and we do fully disclose the ongoing construction throughout the resort in our listing description. As you mentioned, the resort is still recovering from the hurricane, but we are pleased that many amenities, including the beach, pool, shops, and restaurants, are open and available for our guests to enjoy. We value your feedback and are committed to providing a 5-star experience. We maintain constant communication with our guests and are always available to address any concerns or issues that may arise during their stay. It's disheartening to receive a less than stellar review without any communication from the guest during their visit, as it prevents us from proactively addressing any concerns and ensuring a positive experience. We hope that despite the construction, you were able to enjoy some of the wonderful aspects of Captiva Island. We are confident that the resort will continue to improve and offer an even better experience in the future.
