Captiva Useppa Island Hotels

"This was our first time using VRBO and unfortunately the places we stay at in the future will have a hard time living up to the standard that Leslie set at Sea La Vie. She started by including all the information we could possibly need to make our trip there, and stay, as seamless as possible. And truly, it couldn’t have gone any smoother. Then there’s the house, location, and all the amenities. It was beyond all of our expectations. Our family of seven, including 5 adults and two young children had ample space and enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen. My daughter claimed she has never slept so good because of the mattress and pillows in her room. The house is beautifully and artfully decorated with a convenient layout. We loved the convenience of the 2 golf carts and used the kayaks. Our favorite part, though, was the location. We were right on the beach, and literally had it to ourselves for all but one day of our stay. And boy were we entertained daily. Dolphins swam and played sometimes only about 5 yards from the shore. We had a heron regularly visit and the Ospreys entertained us by trying to build a nest on the neighbor’s air conditioning unit. We also saw enormous iguanas (One my granddaughter named Mango because he was orange and green),and shelled to our hearts content. We also spotted many starfish and even a puffer fish in the seaweed. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and Leslie and Ally were so helpful with everything!! "

"We enjoyed the house and would stay again. It has everything you’d need for a great Pine Island vacation. The house is clean, well maintained and comfortable. Great location right down the street from the Tarpon Lodge and Pineland marina. Next time we hope the weather is better and we can enjoy the beautiful screened porch."

"House was exactly as described Spotless, super easy check in Both owner and house manager very accessible and responsive Recommend without reservation "

"We had a very large group (19) and thoroughly enjoyed our time at this beautiful house! The property management company and owner were kind enough to make sure the house was stocked with enough beach chairs and outdoor games for us prior to our visit. It was a bit of a bummer that 2 of the 3 golf carts that came with the house were not working but the carts were an added perk of the house. I did make some recommendations on some items the house was missing to support such a large group but overall it was a great experience! Even through a tropical storm we were in great shape as the house has an all house generator and water system! I would highly reccomend!"

"The service was great. If we needed something the property managers got it for us. If this is your first time know going in that the only way to get here is by ferry and they only run certain times of the day. So if flying into Fort Myers plan accordingly. There is no grocery store on island so everything is ordered online and brought over by ferry as well. That process is easy. Great for big groups and families."

"I booked this house because of the location and fantastic price. It was adorable and exactly as expected. I couldn't get the dryer door to open but I think that may have been operator error. The property managers, Duncan and Laurie with Tortuga, went above and beyond to make my stay not just ok, but exceptional. I would have missed the ferry due to my plane delay had Duncan not reached out to give me additional options. He even called the ferry captain to make sure he new I was coming for the last boat. They both made my trip extra special and I can't thank them enough."

"Third stay at this property. Property is well managed by Shelly’s Seashell Properties. They were attentive and responded quickly to all our requests. House was well equipped and was perfect for our group of 10."

"The property was as listed and a fantastic retreat for two families. We had plenty of room, beautiful views, and everything we needed for a great stay."

"The house was perfectly located and everything was in order when we arrived. Everyone was accommodating, kind and helpful. Would definitely go back."
