As far as location and price on Captiva, the Inn can't be beat. The room was comfortable, but we didn't get any housekeeping service for 5 days and the floor got kind of sandy pretty quickly. I'd suggest leaving a broom in the common area kitchen for that purpose--I would have gladly swept up our floor. Breakfast each morning at the Key Lime Bistro and RC Otters was a treat and they have really delicious seafood breakfast items on the menu that I highly recommend--especially because it is included! There's a decent, if rusty, selection of beach chairs and umbrellas. And now there's a little cooler for your beach drinks in one of the kitchen cupboards. Please enjoy as much as we did! Andy Rosse Lane is where you want to be on Captiva. Don't even think of staying on the overpriced resort unless you really, really, really like tennis.

The nice photos are not reflective of this place. Maybe it was clean on the first day they opened! When I checked in it was soooooooooo dirty, moldy and dusty. The only thing housekeeping seems to do is change the bed. They certainly had not cleaned. When I spoke to housekeeping, the ONE girl that was on told me she had all the rooms and cottages to do herself. No wonder the only thing that can be done is to change the linens. Even the restaurants (owned by the same owners) are dirty and sticky. The cottages sure look sweet when you look at them online, but not when you see them. They are located down an alley that is a gravel parking lot for the cars of the cottage guests or the restaurant patrons. You have to walk by the smelly, fenced-in large garbage area behind the restaurant to go down the alley to the cottages. And in the heat, this really does smell badly. 2 cottages are located right next to the garbage and you can smell it inside.

Location is the best part....right near shops, restaurants and near beach. We had to provide a list of things that needed attention - the staff quickly fixed our requests. The place needs a very good deep cleaning and updates.

Great location- walking distance to the beach. Excellent breakfast provided at nearby restaurants. However, this place is old and lacks housekeeping and good customer service. Beds were not made and glasses upon arrival smelled like wine (had not been washed since previous guests). Music from nearby restaurant could be heard until midnight on the weekend (too much base). This could be an awesome place to stay, if management was really managing.

Cute and clean in a great location. 2 minute walk to the beach. Comes with excellent fresh breakfast and lunch. Super cute location in town.

We stayed at the Captiva Island Inn in early December, before the post-Christmas rush. It was a quiet weekend for them, so they upgraded us from a room to a cottage unsolicited. Half the cottages are south of Andy Rosse Lane, the others north. I suggest requesting a north cottage if you can - the ones to the south are set around a gravel parking lot, which doesn't strike me as particularly appealing. Ask for the Iris, Jasmine, Daisy, or Rosebud units, which open up to a small planted courtyard on the north side of the road. Our cottage had a vagabond-ish feel, which is perhaps my way of saying it was a little long in the tooth and in need of some updating. Honestly, I didn't really care; I've stayed in much more barebones accommodations, and there was nothing wrong with the quiet season rate. The kitchen had a motley collection of cookware, which means you're not likely to prepare a gourmet meal, but if you're willing to make do, it's adequate enough. If I had a complaint, it would be that I didn't particularly care for the aggressively bed-and-breakfast-ish decor, which in the case of our cottage was a lilac color scheme. Personally I would vote for a surfer shack aesthetic, if you really want my opinion. Or anything with less purple in it would be fine too. As other reviewers have noted, the real charm is the location. It's a five-minute walk down a quiet stretch of road to a breathtakingly beautiful beach, and yeah, the sunsets are nothing to complain about. The nearby restaurants are decent enough, and there's a small grocery in walking distance that has enough components for a halfway decent meal. FYI, there's no wifi, but the ice cream/coffee shop next door has free wifi that reaches the north cottages. Because it was a quiet weekend, they let us check out at noon rather than the usual 10AM when we left on Monday morning, which means we were able to get another leisurely walk along the beach in morning before we flew out. If you're looking for five-star accommodations, you should probably try the South Seas Resort up the road; if you're looking for a laidback environment and nice people, the Captiva Island Inn is not a bad place to stay.

Have stayed one night so far and it's been nice! Cute cottages & we got upgraded to a larger cottage! There is a yucky smell outside but it is Florida and there's lots of smells from wells and all so it's tolerable. We received a free bottle of wine if our choice, (merlot), free breakfast at the two nice restaurants next door & free bike rentals we plan to use today! Pet friendly!! The bed was small but very comfortable! Couch is a pullout for those needing it. Great spot and I would definitely come back!! Clean room! Clean pool area. Everything is in walking distance that we need! Have not moved car since we arrived yesterday! Love that!!

Ew. We call our "cabins" tents with walls. If you want to sleep without ants crawling on you, go elsewhere. The shower is nasty. There is dust and cobwebs everywhere. The TV is fuzzy and has no good channels. The air conditioner works. A little bit. The beds are abysmal. It's nasty and old and hard. Also lumpy. The pull out couch is awful. Everything is in disrepair and is dirty. There is a maid service, don't expect much. They have Palmolive dish soap for the few dishes they provide, which we used as hand soap because that isn't provided. That being said, its a good location, with okay restaurants (overpriced) nearby. They provide some hangers, which is nice. The pool is small, but clean and it's adorable.

The Captiva Inn has a great location. Isn't location everything? If you walk down the lane for a few minutes you will be on the beautiful Captiva Island beach right by the Mucky Duck. We booked a bedroom only for one night and when we arrived mid week we were given a cottage with a living room and full kitchen. The pool was just around the corner from us. It had a spa, lounging chairs and a gazebo with a table. Our cottage- The Orchid- had two air conditioning units in the windows. One was in the living area and did a nice job of keeping it cool. The other was in the bedroom. It was very noisy and I don't think either could keep the humidity out effectively but it was comfortable. The kitchen had a microwave and a mix match of glasses, silverware and dishes. But we were not cooking. There was also an assortment of pots and pans. I don't think it would be an efficient kitchen to do any major cooking besides a simple breakfast or lunch. I did not use the coffee machine as it was disgusting. You can go to Keylime Bistro and get ice for your drinks. It has a nice sofa and chair and a cute little glass table for four. It was brightly painted blue and shades of green to simulate the water as it had trim that looked like little waves. The bathroom was a tangerine color and it had a pedestial sink. The bedroom had another sofa and a chest with two night stands. The furnishings were fine. We were very comfortable there. There are two locks on the door with separate keys. Parking is right by the cottage. You can also use their beach umbrellas and chairs at no charge and you can rent bicycles to ride around the island. That is the way to see the island. Breakfast at your choice of two restaurants right outside your door is included in the price. We were off season so the price was very inexpensive for what we got. We enjoyed our stay at the Inn. It is not a fancy place if that is what you are looking for. But we love to stay at these lovely little beach type cottages when we travel because of their history and charm. Sure they need some work inside and out as others have said but we will be back....for the beach and the beautiful sunset that was free!

My wife and I had one night to visit Captiva Island during a week long stay on the Florida Gulf Coast. We had a very nice three days at Inn on the Beach in Pass-A-Grille, so our impressions of this place are based on a comparison with the excellent time we had in Pass-A-Grille. Superficially, the two places have a lot in common. They both photograph well, have a nice kitchen and living/dining area. They are both located near the beach (Inn on the Beach is closer but the walk along the street in Captiva was very nice). It is in the details that the differences become apparent. At Inn on the Beach, the wonderful innkeeper (Sheila) seems to have invested a lot of her personal energy in making sure the place runs well, even down to the tiniest of things. Here the lamps do not all work, the smoke detector kept chirping (I left it at the office after the first young man working there replaced the battery to no avail ... the second young man was also nice, but could not do anything with it until the next day), the dishes in the kitchen are a hodge podge, the curtains do not all provide good privacy (the cottages are all located around a small parking lot so privacy is an issue), etc. The bathroom was particularly interesting. The shower had lost its door and it was badly replaced by a curtain that did not want to stay in place. Also, the shower handle was replaced by a threaded eye bolt, which worked fine, but shows a lack of standards. Without someone like Sheila with a passion for providing a quality experience, I don't see how the place can achieve its real potential. The area is very nice, so my wife and I can see why so many families choose it for their vacation. The Captiva Island Inn is OK (I would have given it 2.5 stars if that was an option), but could be a lot better. Maybe the owners are trying to run too many businesses at once or need to find just the right person to handle their inn.

We booked the Orchid cottage for a last minute getaway for 2 without paying much attention to what we were booking. The location is OK. It's a easy walk to the beach & restaurants. If a view is important to you this is not the place for you. It's in an alley. The cottage has 1 queen bed, a day bed w/trundle and possibly 2 sleeper sofas (we didn't try to open them). The cottage has a full kitchen which we didn't use. Other than the bathroom & 1 bedroom the rest is one open area, so there is no privacy. There are openings at the ceiling into the bedroom that have blankets and pillows in front of them on a shelf in the bedroom, so even the bedroom isn't totally private ( private to sight, not sound). None of that mattered to us, but it's something to consider if you have a larger group. The A/C is just 2 window units which kept it plenty cool enough, but didn't dehumidify. Combined with the fact that there is nowhere to hang wet swim suits and towels meant the wet stuff never dried. There also was no mat at the door, inside or out, so it's impossible to keep from tracking sand in. It was adequately clean. In fact the smell of bleach was pretty strong. The whole cottage has ceramic tile floors. The grout needs a good cleaning. Breakfast at the Key Lime Bistro right next door was included. That's a plus. If I were planning another getaway for a larger group & all that mattered was a decent place near the beach I might consider it again.
