Summary: Perfect location and easy access to the beach. All the furniture was uncomfortable to sit in. Only had two chairs for the beach. Not all the outlets worked in the bedroom so we had to charge them in the living room and kitchen.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Although it was extremely hot! We very much enjoyed our stay! The view is incredible and Dolphins were everywhere! Even a Stingray leaped out of the water! The cottage is quaint and the outdoor improvements, from our last visit, were greatly appreciated. The staff is wonderful and fun to talk to. We will be back!

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The dolphin cottage was very nice. But don’t stay there because it will get too busy and I won’t be able to go back! Lol! It was close to the airstrip which is popular for fishing and seeing dolphins. The guys in the office were excellent at helping us out with golf cart issues.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love North Captiva, have been several times with our two boys, and will return to enjoy it again. We are always totally prepared that all of life's conveniences just can't be expected on N. Cap but we do prefer that all elements of the rented home advertised are provided. We did not have internet or the promised direct TV for our entire stay. While this was likely not the fault of the Island Club we would have preferred to be compensated for this lack of a substantial amenity. I will say the staff that attempted to fix it (but not successfully) were very nice and professional.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time on our trip and enjoyed Dolphin Cottage very much! It is a very cute cottage with an absolutely stunning view. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you could possibly need for cooking. The home is advertised as having a king size bed but it does not. There is a Queen upstairs and two twins on the main level. It worked out as we chose to sleep in the two twins as it was just my husband and myself. Otherwise we very much enjoyed our stay. The island is beautiful and the home is very private.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: great experience staying in this cottage and island. Everything well organized: boat trip, gulf card, transportation of luggage to the flat ...We enjoyed the private beach (the cottage is defineately not on the wrong side of the island), crossing the island for sunset is only a short trip by the gulf cardthe rooms and kitchen are clean and well equipped, I only wonder why nobody clean up the mess under the house from the trash and broken equipement (maybe I ́m too German) which would only takes 5min. Highly recommended location. Some minor disadvantages mentioned in prior reports are true, but come on, this is like paradise.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the opportunity to stay at this adorable cottage for our anniversary weekend. We noticed the recent reviews that the cottage looked worn and needed updating. It could use some updating and a refresh, yes, but it had the charm of an old beach cottage that you would expect. It was decorated in a chic way and was perfect for the two of us. We had no issues with the home and thought it was an adorable place. Our biggest complaint was the fiasco checking in and the boat dock slip. We were told they would be there until 5. We showed up at 4:45 and the property manager had already left for the day so it took a lot back and forth with people on the grounds to figure out our golf cart and check in information. Our boat slip was assigned to two different boats so we were dealing with trying to find a spot every time we came back in from the water. It was definitely disorganized.
