Captiva Island Inn

We stayed in the Gardenia Villa and absolutely loved it. The villa was so clean and had been recently redone (as all the rooms are already or in the process of after the hurricane). There were several minisplits, a fully stocked kitchen (fridge, coffee maker, toaster, full oven + stove…), 3 flat screen TVs, and nice furniture and paintings. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. The whole place was also very clean. The restaurant next door plays great music from lunch time until 9:30 and the beach is at most a 2 min walk. Missy, the manager, was super helpful and very friendly. If you’re looking for a safe, clean, comfortable stay in the heart of Captiva, I highly recommended the Captiva Island Inn!

My wife and I found the Lantana unit after our daughter and son in law stayed in the Love Shack last year. It has the perfect location overlooking Andy Rosse Lane and the wonderfully relaxed street scene that it offers. Everything in Lantana was clean and decorated with bright sunny colors. Sitting on the balcony in the evening enjoying the live music from the Key Lime bistro next door was one of the highlights of our evenings. With the central location, we never moved our rental car once during our stay. We walked to the beach, Mcarthy's Marina, the Island Store and 4 different restaurants..... and there were several others we just didn't get around to! Jayson in the office was very helpful in booking our longer stay for next February as well! I will tell you to come stay at Lantana (or I'm sure their other units as well) with the expectation that this is a bit of old Florida. Beach cozy shabby chic my wife called it. It's a very affordable and relaxing place to stay on Captiva. If you're looking for a resort experience, those places abound, and you'll pay accordingly. What this place offers in abundance is relaxation and we can't wait to return!

We stayed in the Iris Villa at the Captiva Inn and Suites. We were very disappointed in the condition of the room. They definitely need a complete overhaul. The floors were not level and fixed with different tiles. The molding was broken by the door. The pool was still closed by the board of health. However, on the plus side it is in the center of activity near restaurants and a short walk to the beach. Free breakfast and parking was provided. Jason was great to work with and available to answer our questions.
