We stayed in the Beach House and were very happy with our decision. We had privacy even though there are other units nearby, and it was a holiday weekend. We were close to the beach, but just far enough back that any activity on the beach didn't bother us at all. We could also see the sunset from the back... More

We rented a house nearby but came to Jensens almost everyday. We have rented boats, purchased fishing gear, saw the manatees, and much more at Jensens over the years. Great place for the kids too. Lots of fun stuff to look at and a great store for Captiva souvenirs. People there are super friendly too. A must visit for a... More

Jensen's in exactly what we wanted. Our wish was a nice place to stay, without paying for extras we just didn't need for 3 nights. That's what we got! We stayed at the PO Box. It is just a large room with an area to sit, a small fridge, microwave, and coffee pot. They offer other accomodations that include full... More

We stayed at the Jensen's on the Gulf for 5 days during last april. Enjoyed it very much, very nice location and lovely people and stunning place. Owners are very friendly and helpful with a lot of excellent tips on local restaurants or journeys to do. Although not very cheap, I do recommend this place if you are looking for... More

We stayed recently for 3 nights in the PO Box. It was the cheapest room (still, it came in at $199 a night), but was spacious. There was a short walk down to the beach and we loved that Jensen's supplied just about everything you'd need for a day on the beach: beach chairs, towels, floats, shell nets, buckets, etc.... More

This is the best place to stay in the area. We stayed at the honeymoon suite and the view was great! We recommend bringing everything you want to ear and drink as there are cute and entertaining restaurants and bars in the area but overpriced food and nothing to rave about. Walk over to the something duck for a beer... More

We love Jensens on the Gulf and have been staying here once a year for 3 years now. Last summer we stayed in the Penthouse and it was the greatest. The view from the top floor out over the gulf was BEAUTIFUL, day or night the view was perfect. The unit inside was lovely and plenty of room for 2... More

This is the first time we stayed at Jensen's. We chose the beach side, and stayed in the Penthouse on the recommendation of the owner. The suite was very comfortable -- two large sofas, a chair and ottoman in the living room; a large dining table; a well-equiped kitchen. The porch and view from the third floor was fabulous --...

My husband and I have been staying here since 2001 and absolutely love this place! The rooms are updated and clean. You literally step out your front door and you're in the sand. The property sits underneath some gorgeous large Australian pines that give you shade throughout the day. The kitchens are well appointed and the bathrooms are clean. If... More
