We stayed at the PO Box about 18 months ago and fell in love with Captiva. The Jensen's could not have been more helpful and really made us feel welcome. The room was lovely and very homely - the furnishings are beautiful and the bed comfortable. It's just a few steps away from the beach which was quiet and peaceful. Sunset on Captiva is a big attraction and you will find most people go down to the beach to see it - look out for the dolphins too - they play around in the late afternoon. Manatees can be seen at Jensen's Marina especially during the summer months although we saw them in December too - apparently there is a warm spring by the marina that attracts them.
The wildlife is a big attraction for us - the birds and their antics never fail to make me smile. Don't miss Ding Darling or the Kayak tour on Sanibel. My new favourite thing is fishing which was great fun (just speak to the Jensen's they have a great fishing guide called Shaun) we even caught our supper first time out! Suffice to say I almost didn't put a review on here because I wanted to keep Captiva a secret - we have been back twice since our first visit......

We rented Beach Nest for a few days in Feb 2012. It was our first trip to Florida and it was a perfect holiday. Beach Nest was very comfortable and the interior decor was beautiful ! Very close to the beach which has lots of shells. Overall wonderful experience. Totally worth the money. Highly recommended !

We stayed for a week in the Honeymoon Suite. It was extremely comfortable and convenient to the Village. The beach was uncrowded and wonderful. The screened porch made sunrises and sunsets all the better! Room is on the 3rd floor which afforded spectacular views of the gulf, pelicans, dolphin and just everything on the beach, but if you have any problem with stairs this would not be for you. The small "kitchen" is well equipped with a microwave, fridge (larger than the typical hotel room fridge), coffee pot & toaster; dishes and utensils for two; coffee mugs, wine glasses and a couple tumblers. There is a small TV but it isn't really needed! Too much going on outside the windows! Was wonderful to wake in the morning and lie in bed and watch the sun rise while having that first cup of coffee. Breakfast on the porch while deciding what part of the beach to visit that day and watching the morning bird feeding frenzy! It was an extremely relaxing experience. There is no maid service but I don't have that at home either so it made it feel all the more like it was "my" place! The staff is there when, and if, you need them but pleasantly absent most of the time. There is a laundry room and use of washers and dryers is free - even provide the soap! The grounds are well kept. We throughly enjoyed our stay and would love to go back. It isn't cheap but it is very nice and when compared to other places that are right on the beach, its a bargin!!! You won't be sorry!
