In short, beautifully kept, convenient, with very
responsive, generous and kind ownership. Spotless
is the first thing that comes to mind when I
remember my stay at the Coquina in June '09. I've
rented beach homes throughout the US and this
was by far the cleanest! The gardens were
stunning! They create a completely private oasis in
the back with several options for lounging in the
shade. It was such a safe place for my 2 year old to
play, I couldn't have planned a better environment
if I'd owned it myself! I recommend that you take
the brand new downstairs option. It was great for
us traveling with inlaws. We were able to enjoy
total separation but still use the nicer downstairs
kitchen as well as the full size laundry. We all liked
the downstairs area the most. The outside shower
options were so private and kept sand outside.
Serious shellers should know that by the end of the
week, we were throwing back specimen quality
olives, fighting conchs, augers, and ceriths all
found snorkeling at the waters edge right in front
of the unit. We found three nice cones, the first of
our many stays on Sanibel. Drawbacks include a bit
of a drop at the waters edge which the owner said
comes and goes and isn't always so steep. Also,
the bedding was a bit dog eared compared to the
high quality elsewhere throughout. Again the
owners said they were to be replaced. Overall, we
just loved the place and intend to make it an annual
trip! |

We appreciate all comments and work hard to continuously improve. The bedding is in fact being completely upgraded from new pillows to comforters, etc.

After Halloween-a
We come down to La Coquina
We never met our hosts,
but like friendly ghosts,
The house was stocked and waiting
By noon we were out sun-bathing
Equipped wtih bikes from Billy
Not kayaks from Miss Shrilly
We ventured to Ding Darling
Saw herons, jays and starling
And now we must go home
but atleast that ends this poem

What a wonderful week- sunny skies, wonderful ambiance and hospitality complete with Mike's sharing antcedote about the beautiful grounds and horticulture and attentiveness to every detail. We only wish our visit was longer than one week-maybe next year.
Captiva is perfect-isolated beaches, birds and other wildlife to observe, flora and fauna to saviour. For anyone who rents this, should visit "Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge" and try the canoe/kayak trail. It's wonderful.
It will be difficult to leave them behind, but our memories will last so much longer than a week.
