Most beautiful place I’ve ever seen

We had a little trouble with keyless lock but it was resolved immediately. House is beautiful. Such a good view of the gulf. Each bedroom had its own smart tv and private bathroom. I loved the little cottage. It had everything you could ask for. I stayed there so that my sister could sleep later. The hot tub was in immaculate condition. We really enjoyed it. The restaurants at “Tween waters” were close enough to walk to and were all fantastic. The only suggestions I have are to be a little clearer in description about coffee makers. We brought ground coffee then found out that there were only keurigs. The other was to be clear about no chairs or beach equipment so that people know to take advantage of the equipment rental credit. I would give this rental all thumbs up. We didn’t want to leave.

Slice of Heaven

We had an amazing vacation at Captiva Charm. The cottage was so clean and comfortable. It was so private surrounded by beautiful foliage. The beach is right across the street and it wasn’t crowded at all. We made so many wonderful memories! Hope we can return again soon! We highly recommend this special place to vacation!

The Captiva Charm is Magical!

Part of me wants to resist leaving a review to keep this incredible cottage to ourselves, but the Captiva Charm is nothing short of magical. The grounds and house are even better than pictured and had every amenity we could want (with the exception of a blender). The location was perfect with a view of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico and Captiva Sunsets from the front porch - and also being a quick 2-3 minute golf cart ride into "town". We had our 2-year old daughter with us and she loved the house and it was perfect for our family. It took us about 3 minutes to walk to the beach and a beach cart/umbrella/chairs/towels were provided, which made it so convenient. We loved staying here and are already talking about our next trip! 10/10

An amazing view of the sunset on the ocean.

Overall it was a really nice place with a great view if the sunset on the ocean. I was a little bummed by the people that were staying in the house behind us on the shared property as they were loud until late at night and woke our son up quiet a few times. Only issues we had with the stay weren't major ones such as a dirty pan in the oven and some hair from the previous guests in the main shower. Both were easily fixed by us and definitely didnt ruin the family vacation. The nature around the house is beautiful and my son was fascinated with all the different lizards around the property. Would definitely rent it again.

if you want your own beach, this is it

From the outside, the cottage seems out of place based on the looks. It seems like it should be located on the mountains rather than on an island. It does not be all that great. But, don't let that fool you because the inside is super nice and cozy. Plenty of space for the 3 adults in the main cottage and 2 adults in the side cottage. It is perfectly situated to access the beach with a very short stroll across the street. I have never been to a beach where the next umbrella over was about 400 yards (about a par 4 in golf) away. We always felt the beach was to ourselves. The house is also about a 4 minute golf cart drive to the village where the restaurants are. If I had to say anything "negative" I would say the wifi and cell phone signal is horrible, at least using Tmobile. A few issues like door handle, kitchen cabinet door that fell off and was never fixed after reporting it as well as a lamp that does not work in the master bedroom. Also, after a power outage, the stove and oven stopped working. Hopefully these get fixed asap.

Perfect location

This property has a perfect location. Very clean and housed with everything we needed. My only issues was the place was double booked. The other family arrived at the same time as us. I had a hard time getting a hold of the rental agent. The home fortunately was in our name. I felt terrible for the other family. Not sure what happened to them!! The master bedroom sheets did not fit the mattress properly and the toilet seat in the master needs repaired. We had a very quiet and relaxing time.

Captiva Charm was a little slice of heaven! The cottage was amazing! It was so private and cozy! We were right across the street from the beach. It wasn’t crowded at all.

Very special place!

Captiva Charm was everything we hoped for and more! Immaculate, updated "old school" beach house in a prime location. Inviting beach decor inside, nice beds and bedding, all the amenities a family needs. We especially loved the comfortable outdoor seating for morning and evening meals and drinks, star gazing and conversation. The property has gorgeous landscaping and the view is fantastic. You can tell the owners and managers really care to make sure everything is perfect. Great communication. Cannot wait to return!

Captiva Charm is the perfect description for this beautiful property! Our family enjoyed being so close to the beach, sunsets on the deck, and the hot tub after the beach! The furnishings and decor were outstanding and the beds were super comfy! Got a chance to meet the owner, Michelle! She was so kind and helpful! A big thanks to her for sharing your home with us! Michelle was super helpful! Professional and on top of it! Great communicator and super friendly. Thanks Michelle! Can’t wait to use Dream Vacation Rentals again next year!

I would like to thank the owner Michelle for her generosity allowing us to use the pool and outdoor amenities of the main home. We enjoyed the ice machine, extra umbrellas, pingpong, and early sunrise on the dock. There is so much wildlife to observe on the inland water. Truly special. Everyone we had contact with was a pleasure.

Paradise on Captiva

This is a charming beach home, squeaky clean and well-maintained! We watched the sunset every night from the house or beachfront. Communication from the property manager was excellent and we had absolutely no issues or hiccups. Highly recommend, will be back!

The name for this home is perfectly suited - truly a "charming" rental experience. I love the private feel of the home and beach area, all while being minutes away from the best shops and restaurants on the island! Dream Vacation Rentals clearly takes pride in providing a top-tier experience for their guests. Their homes are always equipped with everything needed to fully enjoy our stay, not to mention beautiful interiors and comfortable beds. The staff always shows great attention to detail and customer service. Definitely coming back!
