We had an absolutely fantastic time on the island and loved everything about Tropical Breeze. It is so well equipped, has such a great layout, is unbelievably spacious and comfortable, and we found it immaculately clean when we arrived - which is no mean feat in itself I would imagine...and very much appreciated, especially as we had our 2 young children and my mum with us!
We knew it was well located and when we got there and compared it to some of the other houses we had been considering we were more than happy with our choice. It was so nice to be on a quiet lane, yet only steps from the beach and a few minutes walk from the main street. It was perfect for us and we hope to return at some point in the future.
The thing we didn't quite expect was the scale of the house - it was more spacious than it appears on the website, but even though we were a small group we didn't feel lost in it if that makes sense.
In terms of anything you could provide - the only tiny thing we missed having was teaspoons, but I feel embarrassed even mentioning it because the kitchen at Tropical Breeze is by far the best equipped of any holiday house we have ever rented anywhere in the world!
The weather was brilliant too by the way - in the late 70's or early 80's and very settled.

Wow! What a wonderful place. It’s been like living in a ‘little slice of heaven’.
The home, food, sunsets, beach and the manatee that visited us on the beach have created wonderful memories for our four children and their grand parents. Its really hard to pack up tonight and return home after this phenomenal vacation.
We hope to return again real soon.

Thank you so much for sharing your home. This is our second visit to Tropical Breeze. We enjoyed it just as much this time as our first time.
We really were happy to see the additional refrigerator downstairs, it came in very handy.
The weather was great. We ate at the Mucky Duck twice, breakfast at the Key Lime Bistro and enjoyed large pieces of cake from the Bubble Room. The changes that were made to the pool area(allowing more patio room) were great. There was so much more room than when we were here in 2004. We really appreciate the large kitchen and family room area.
Thank you again and we hope to be back sometime soon.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful ‘Tropical Breeze’ paradise with us. Although we got off to a rocky start with tropical storm Alberto hitting us, we were really able to have fun shopping, playing games and catching big waves. In no time the weather cleared up and we were able to enjoy a real tropical breeze. We were able to enjoy the jet skis and we saw many different water animals like dolphins, manatees and a huge turtle.
We wish our stay could have been longer but we will be sure to come back again.

This has been another great year in your beautiful home. We are four families and we enjoy your home. We have stayed at other homes but they don’t compare. We were happy to hear that you had small damage to your home during the hurricane. Everything is always very comforting. Your landscaping is beautiful, your BBQ in back corner great.
You have a perfect house which makes us feel at home. Thank you again we’ll be back next year.

Your beautiful home has made our first family vacation in 14 years even more enjoyable than imagined. Our best friends are renting Villa Villakula next door with their kids and grand parents which prompted us to rent Tropical Breeze.
We have felt like we have won the lottery this week with the fabulous amenities you have provided. We have been in condos in Sanibel over the past 15 years but felt that Captiva and this house cannot be matched. We are planning to return here with some friends in the future.
Thanks for thinking of everything in the design of the place. We hardly left the home for meals but enjoyed RC Otters and a day with a pontoon boat to Barnacle Phil’s.

Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with us; we have stayed at many lovely places including the Ritz Carlton but this has been by far the most luxurious and comfortable temporary ‘home’ we have vacationed in! We loved the beauty of Captiva, shelling and the beautiful views from your home.
Three generations of family, grandparents, children and grandchildren had a wonderful time with all the comforts of home. My son loved your swimming pool and all the toys and we all loved the short walk to the beach. Sunsets were beautiful and the beach was not crowded, not to mention the perfect weather not to humid even in May.
We will always have beautiful memories from our stay here.

Tropical Breeze ia a beautiful and amazing place to live. This is the 2nd time we have stayed and this visit was as good as the first. The rooms are very spacious which allows our big family alot of room. The location of the house is perfect from the beach and walking distance from the Bubble Room, RC Otters and all the shops. Ihave so many great memories made here that I will remeber for ever.

We have rented a number of luxury houses in Kaula, Park City, Union Pier and have stayed in many others. Tropical Breeze is the best, perfect for our extended family. Our recommendations for dinner include the Keylime Bistro and the Twilight Cafe.
The upper deck quickly became the gathering place for cocktails before sunset.
The ambience and solitude of Captiva is truly special. Being at the end of a quiet street makes the location perfect for a great family vacation. We have booked again for next year already.

What a perfect place for us to spend a week with our families for a much needed rest. The house was more than we'd hoped for! Huge and spacious-plenty of room for all 10 of us! We had so much fun at the beach, building sandcastles and finding crabs. The pool was so much fun for the kids, and baby Tyler took his very first dip in a swimming pool.
We loved walking the beach at sunset, eating at the Island Cow, swinging in the hammock, showering outside, visiting our freind 'The Toad' at the art gallery, and dancing with the kids in your great big living room!
The upstairs deck was such a relaxing place to chill out, breakfast on your wicker porch was wonderful and we prepared some great meals in your state of the art kitchen.
We could go on and on! Now back to the deep snow and a white christmas in Chicago!!!!!

| Stayed in the house the week of 9-16 2005. (Hurricane Dennis). We have rented several homes on Captiva, this home is one of the very best. It is well equipped right down to providing beach towels and wireless internet. Very spacious. Very short walk for the kids to the beach and several restaurants. The entire family had a great time. |

Thank you for the use of your wonderful home. We loved all the space, the awesome and colorful decor, and the pool and proximity to the beach. We've been to Sanibel- Captiva many times over the years and Tropical Breeze is the best accomadation yet!
Our trips have consisted of relaxing at the pool and beach, having great family times, and of course eating and shopping. Some of our own favourites from this trip- Doc Fords Sanibel Rum Bar, The Green Flash, Island Cow, and the shopping at Perriwinkle Place.
The island certainly looks differant after Charley but is still beautiful and inviting.
Thanks again.

Thank you for sharing your beaytiful home with us. We hope we ill be back soon and so hope we can spend it here at Tropical Breeze. We cannot imagine a more perfect home. Our visits to Captiva are motivated by an oppurtunity to visit with the 'Florida based' part of our family. This is our third family trip to Captiva and Sanibel and probably the best to date, thanks largely to your lovely home.
We enjoyed marvelous sunsets from each of your beautiful decks. Swimming, shelling and just walking the beachwere our favourite past times. We also loved the pool.
Three generations thank you.

Happy 4th of July! The fireworks (as always) were amazing! This is the third year weve been coming to Captiva and it is an incredible place for our family to come together for an awesome reunion!! The house was great! Tons of room and very comfortable for all eleven of us! Weather was good, pool was great, and the beach was awesome! Key Lime is our favourite restuarant but Mucky Duck is always a must for lunch! The Bubble Rooms desserts are out of this world. Thanks for the hospitality see you next year.

Thank you for sharing your home with us. We are from Central Arkansas and have been coming to Captiva with our children for over 20 years. This has been the most pleasant trip ro Captiva weve ever had. The water was clean and for the most part calm, the beaches werent crowded, the shelling was fantastic both on Captiva and Sanibell. The house was so spacious that even when our freinds arrived we had more than any of us needed. We relaxed and read books and had a very relaxing vacation.
