Amazing view but parking is EXPENSIVE! Make sure to leave early so the price is worth it. Also go early to find the best shells.Full review by ssathena92

We actually stayed at beach view cottages on sanibel island. It’s a bit old school looking on the outside but brilliant on the inside and they have their own walkway and gazebo right to the beach. We absolutely loved it except for the no see um bugs. Take bug spray!! And if you are driving a car make sure and watch out for the hundreds of little brown marsh bunnies on the island. They are adorable!!! The little cottage was quite pricey but we felt it was well worth it
Hi, Leaving for Captiva Thursday, October 11th to celebrate our birthdays. Trying to make the decision if we should reroute our vacation to another destination (Key West) due to red tide issues. Any guidance you can provide regarding local conditions is truly appreciated. This is our first visit to Captiva and super excited to visit but with asthma issues, etc. not sure if we should risk it. Thank you!!!!

Definitely reroute!! I’ve been renting homes in the village of captiva for years. Realtor never said anything about red tide. In fact I called 3 weeks before we left when I heard about it and they said it was getting better and we’d be fine. Well even sitting by the pool on Andy Ross Blvd I started to cough. Arrived Saturday and by Wednesday I was at the walk in clinic with an ear infection. I’ve never had an ear infection in my life and the kids and I stayed out of the water. It’s absolutely heartbreaking!!
I'm going to be staying at South Seas the last week of October. What is the latest I hear maybe it's getting a little better? Any insights would be much appreciated.

If your on facebook, there is a Captiva Island facebook page where folks post pictures almost daily. I was down last month and we had three great days and two bad days. Really depends on wind direction. In general, things are much better, but if you catch a prolonged west wind, red tide will blow in.
