Interesting Introduction to N Captiva

Pros:centrally located, golf cart amenityCons: broken small dishwasher, no water pressure, a little older, not sufficient trash bags to follow the 10 checkout rules - we had to beg for some from the locals since there are no stores

Good Bad Ugly and an FYI

Good:Property owner and property manager both were responsive.House was ready and we were allowed to check in earlier than listed time which was very appreciated! The house has amenities that help feel at home. Dog friendlyThe process was pretty smooth.House was comfortably decorated, rules and instruction posted on fridge, beach gear and golf cart all helpful. Location was close to Mangos pool and the beach. Bad: A/C units are VERY loud!! No, we did not call the property manager for several reasons: 1) they ALL made the same noise so clearly not a defect for fixing.2) Several reviews read before booking indicated this as an issue, clearly the owner has already been made aware and they are still loud, perhaps the model?Also, in the master bedroom there is a light on the a/c unit which is like a bad Nightlight that you can’t turn off. The water pressure in the inside shower was HORRIBLE. To say low pressure would be an understatement. (Again read previous reviews) 4) water smelled like sulfur by day 2. I grew up with well water in south Florida- similar but worse. Ugly: There are no less than 3 broken golf carts on the property, 2 are by the crab cakes driveway entrance sign. Also, there are several dead batteries about. (Hurricane aftermath?)A lot of overgrown foliage.FYI- BRING BUG SPRAY, Don’t forget ANYTHING or you’ll end up paying higher than Disney price!! Also, side note for those who care, the mattress’ are firm, really firm.
