Captiva - Pool Home - Footsteps to Beach and Bay. 3rd property from beach.

Beautiful, tropical, two level home with five bedrooms and four baths. Free WiFi. Just added to the deck which is now a tremendous 12 x 42. New Living Room and new Deck furniture. An OUTDOOR TV on the Living Room deck. All under the protection of the screened pool cage for your comfort. Rooftop sunning deck. Brand new Fridge with filtered water and ice maker. New dishwasher. We have more bedrooms with their own bathrooms than all other properties in our price range. Of our 5 bedrooms, three of them have en suite bathrooms & 2 share a connecting bathroom. This makes it really easy for many people to get ready at the same time and offers convenience and privacy. Our house is ALWAYS sunny. We have ample sky-lights which have heat and glare shields. The beautiful swimming pool is heated and has attractive pavers. We are the third property in from the gulf beach on one side and the third in from the bay on the other. The driveway gate can be closed for privacy and most of the property is fenced. We are constantly told the pictures don't do us justice. We enjoy having many returnees to Blue Heaven year after year.
Clean, white tiled floors, 12 x 42 living room level deck with OUTDOOR TV which is within the pool cage, tremendous rooftop sunning deck, screened & heated pool, steps from the white sandy beach on the Gulf of Mexico and steps from the Bay. ( We are the 3rd property in from the Gulf beach on one side...and 3rd property in from the bay on the other. Perfect for shelling, fishing, kayaking, biking and sunsets, a quick walk to charming restaurants and unique shops and art galleries in the Village area of Captiva. Tennis and golf are available in Sanibel just minutes from Captiva. I think Tween Waters Inn, Captiva, will let you rent a pass to play tennis. We are within the 'Village' area where you may use rented golf carts.
Our first level may also be used as a private In-law Suite or Nanny Suite with its own bath, living room, kitchenette. It has a secondary private entrance for added convenience. The 'Cabana' room with kitchenette and sliders to pool, may be used for bedroom with 2 twin beds and 'Jack and Jill' bath. Each of the other three bedrooms has a private bathroom and are a king, queen and 2 twins.
Sleeps ten; most pets allowed $250; all modern amenities including HEATED pool and sand chairs for the beach , big stainless steel gas grill with one sauce burner , WIFI internet and all bedrooms have flat screen televisions. Outdoor TV on 12 x 42 deck. Flat Screen TV in livingroom too. Rented weekly, Saturday to Saturday. Multiple week discount negotiable. Possible shorter than one week rentals if last minute, will be prorated. Ask about some special rates for some weeks. We pay the cleaning fee (approx $300 value). There is a Florida and Lee County tax of 11.5%. No surprises. Best for planning trips. New fridge and dishwasher. Beautifully furnished deck overlooks pool and goes across the back of the whole house with outdoor television. The deck is 12' by 42'. New carpeting in the screened porch and the staircase between levels. New living room furniture - see photo. We are tickled pink with this year's changes!

First Time Renting a House
We had never previously rented a house, and this time we all pooled together and did as a family. It was SO nice to have plenty of space for everyone. We did have to ride out Tropical Storm Debby which wasn’t the best but we made due!! The house already had a jumper for my son (10 months) which was such a pleasant surprise! We also found games and books which was awesome as well. There were plenty of beach chairs and items for the pool. I LOVED the guest book- what a fun feature!! The property is beautiful, and we even went to the roof a couple times which was neat! During the tropical storm, we did have the skylight leaking so we placed towels and buckets to catch any water dripping. It was hard to give my kids baths though (I normally have a handheld shower head I use for them- in the bathroom my daughter stayed in the shower head was obnoxious and basically dumped out like a water hose so she just showered with me all week, and for my son I just did my best to hold him against me and shower with him too, not a terrible complaint just less than ideal. I loved having our own laundry as well so we did not have to go home with a ton of dirty clothes! Overall, I loved being able to stay there and would definitely consider it again!

I loved the property, the house was perfect. I would love to go back to this property. The check in process was delayed due to the cleaners, considering the prior renters were out 2 days prior. The cleaners could due a much better job inside and out.

Layout was great. We had 2 families with children and a set of grandparents. Everyone had their own space making differing bedtimes easy. The pool and decks were great. Property management company was responsive and helpful.

Great for large group
3 generations, 9 people vacation. Plenty off bedroom and bathrooms. The extra long doing table with plenty of chairs was great. Walked to ocean (ocean equipment and washing wagon were great). Kind used pool everyday. I watched the sunrise from rooftop deck several times. Royal Shell was nice enough to supply us with a shower chair. Only downside for me was the stairs; I am disabled and mostly the stairs were okay; but there were a couple days when I had done so much walking that the last stair climb was challenging.

‘‘Twas the week before Christmas…
And this party of seven, spent a wonderful week at the house called Blue Heaven! The weather was chilly, but we didn’t mind, for the pool kept us warm, the heat was sublime. All you could want was well within reach, restaurants, stores, especially the beach! The view from the roof of stars, beach and sound was truly beautiful, the best around. Any needs that arose were quickly handled with care, 10/10 would recommend a stay there!!!

Several glitches but we still enjoyed our stay
The location was excellent and the home was as described. We had several issues in the first week, but the management company stuck with us until all were resolved. We had issues with the A/C, internet, cable TV, the ice maker. The home itself was lovely and the pool was great.

Great house. Plenty of room. The downstairs is like a home of its own. The 2 mini splits keep the basement cool. Short walk to beach. House had beach chairs, toys, umbrella and a wagon to haul it. Pool was good size with comfy poolside furniture. Would stay again!!

Beautiful house in a great location!
My family and I were very excited to find a house on Captiva that would accommodate 6 adults and our dog! It was our first time bringing out dog to the beach, and he was thrilled. The pictures and description of the house did not disappoint. We also absolutely loved the pool area! It was so nice to be able to relax in the pool in the evenings. We also loved the location of the house. It's just a short walk to the beach, and only minutes from some fantastic restaurants. We wish we had more time to be able to really explore the island. We've previously only stayed on Sanibel where everything is much more spread out. It was fun to have so many things to do near the house! Unfortunately, our stay was cut short by Hurricane Ian. We checked into the house, and two days later we evacuated for the hurricane. The property owner was so wonderful while we were dealing with this! He reached out several times prior to the hurricane's arrival, and continued to reach out after we had evacuated. He helped to make a very chaotic situation run as smoothly as possible. I can't thank him enough!! I would not hesitate to book at this house again in the future, once Sanibel and Captiva are up and running again!

Great house for families
Our family of 10 had a great time staying at this house especially the screened pool and deck. Its convenient to the beach but you walk along the main road to Captiva for about 400 ft. Its fine and we had no trouble but just be cautious. We have stayed here for the last three years and would go back.

Blue Heaven was Great
My immediate family stayed for a week in Blue Heaven. The home was wonderfully decorated and the sleeping rooms were perfect for our group of 10! We loved that our dog could be included in this family celebration. The location was ideal for walking to places all around Captiva. We did cook several meals at this home, and there was a nice assortment of pots and pans, as well as plenty of eating utensils and dishes. The size of the dining room table did not accommodate all 10 of us for family meals, however. The ice maker and water from the refrigerator did not work, which was a major inconvenience for our family. There were ice trays in the freezer, but with the July heat and 10 people, we had to get ice from a local market daily. The home is located on a very busy street at a sharp curve. The signage for the home impeded the ability for one of our vehicles to easily enter the driveway from one direction. We had a lovely time and appreciated the many good qualities of the home--including the beautiful pool.

We love Captiva!
Captiva is gorgeous with lush tropical scenery & beautiful beaches. Every house is very private, yet has a neighborhood feel with immaculately kept yards. Family oriented. Beaches, plenty of restaurants, shops and food places, bike and golf cart rentals within walking, biking, or driving distance. Prices were equal to other vacation/ tourist places we’ve been too. Friendly people. There are numerous multi million dollar homes and then homes affordable for regular people like us. House was perfect, plenty of space for multiple family members. Pool and deck areas were great. We had an issue out in the yard area and staff (Andrew) and maintenance from the realtors were so polite and helpful! They kept us updated and took care of the issue promptly and checked back with us to make sure it was resolved. We are definitely coming back and will use vrbo again. Very easy to book.

Captiva Heaven!
Always sad to leave here, having stayed 6 times now. I always stay with my husband and kids, but just visited with my 3 sisters and they all loved this home also! I love that the rooftop deck has been redone with, I believe, trex decking and there are now lounge chairs up there to relax and see the sunrise and sunset from. Also, the pool was perfectly heated for the cool weather we just had. Can't wait to come back again soon!!!
