Having been to Captiva many times, we'd been through Jensen's Marina to rent boats and watch the manatees, but we always stayed somewhere else. I decided to give them a try this year and boy was I glad I did. Our cottage was number 8, right on the water. It was so charming. Everything was immaculate. Felt immidiately at home.... More

Jensen's #12 apt was perfect for us. Spotless, quiet, quaint and the most friendly owners and guests. Manatees, dolphins, birds, boats and fishing guides all right there. A short walk to great shelling & gorgeous sunsets. Restaurants, groceries & shops only a few minutes walk. Also Andy's fresh fish truck Tuesday & Thursday...we bought shrimp & cooked them ourselves...delicious!! Shawn... More

We stayed the week on Captiva Island and wanted to spend the morning on a fishing expo on the inner coastal waterway between mainland and Captiva Island. It was a very cloudy day when we started and there was a cold front moving in. Our fishing guide came recommended to us before we decided to take the reservation. ARRIVAL: When... More

Doug Rigsby brought us out to our own private island for the day (only saw about 4 other people there). Great place to be away from it all, picnic on the beach and find sand dollars. He even came back and picked us up..( darn......back to reality). This is a great way to be away from civilization for a day...then... More

Location, location, location - topped with spotless accommodations - lots of laughter - bayside chaises nearly in with the manatees who visited - boats at the ready - and walking distance to the beach, restaurants, art galleries - even the grocery store. Absolutely, THE best! And our new home away from home.

We just spent 4 nights at Jensen's and it fit our needs perfectly. It's an easy walk to the beach and a variety of restaurants. Having the marina there is a plus, too. Really enjoyed our chartered boat ride of the area. There's a beautiful and historic church an easy walk away where we enjoyed a Christmas Eve service. Jensen's... More

We just completed another awesome week at Jensen's. Lots of laughter, great fishing and Queenie's ice cream. It is our 9th year celebrating Thanksgiving there. This year we stretched out to 9 days. We are grateful to be in such a delightful place. Cabin #8 has always been our favorite for a special romantic retreat. It was once again spotless... More

Not everyone is going to like not having daily maid service, but this is an excellent, low key value, I had to add a review. I'm in a sweet one bedroom kitchenette, within a 5 minute walk of 4 or 5 restaurants, 10 minutes walk across the street to the Gulf, and directly on the bay. I can't tell you... More

I would stay here again in a heartbeat. We were in cottage number five, a two-bedroom, one bath unit with a nice screened porch, kitchen with all everything you need, and living area. Usually when I visit Captiva (or Sanibel) I stay on the beach so this was first - and I loved it. Each morning, we'd wake up and... More

We hired a boat which unfortunately was when the wind was up from Hurricaine Sandy. This meant the ride was rough when we got out to sea, which is not the fault of Jensens, they wanted us to experience what we could and came back to port when we asked the captain to. Very obliging and helpful and would definitely... More
