Enjoy picturesque sunsets year round from the screened lanai overlooking the blue Gulf of Mexico and long walks on the uncrowded beach of Captiva Island while residing within the gates of the prestigious South Seas Island Resort (formerly South Seas Plantation). Don’t miss out on this Gulf Front one bedroom one bathroom updated condo !

Located in the highly desirable Beach Villas at the south end of South Seas Island Resort, this property has a wonderful view of the Gulf of Mexico and the stunning sunsets. This specific unit was chosen pre-construction, so as too not have any pool area directly in front of the unit, where the surrounding plantings could obscure the view. The view is superior to many of the higher up units. The condo is conveniently located within walking distance of the Captiva village where you will find dinning and shopping. It's nice to not have to worry about parking at the restaurants, or where your car keys are.
This updated one bedroom condo is very well equipped and you will find most of the accommodations of home. Some of the amenities included are; fully equipped kitchen, full size refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, separate bedroom with king size bed and ceiling fan (queen sofa sleeper out in living room), coin laundry (down stairs), stereo with ipod and mp3 attachment, 2 smart Roku flat panel TVs (55" living room & 43" bedroom), where guests can log into their favorite channels and they are automatically logged out upon departure, resort), hair dryer, Iron, Ironing Board, free WI-Fi internet connection, plantation shutters, and porcelain tile flooring throughout. There is an elevator, but you may not need it since the condo is on the first level, up only one flight of steps. This particular unit was chosen for the prime ocean view without having to go up and down additional steps every time you go somewhere. Captiva does beckon you to get out and go. Enjoy the graceful wildlife.
The owners have made many improvements to the property. The kitchen has new counter tops with new sink and faucet in 2019. The bathroom vanity area has a new vanity, vanity top, sink and faucet. Another great feature is the space saving entry door to the separate bath tub and commode area. Flooring was replaced with new 20” porcelain tile throughout the unit in 2014. In 2013 the Bedroom window had been replaced with a double pane, vinyl frame, hurricane approved window, which significantly reduces the amount of occasional noise from the Beach Villas breezeway. Kitchen and dining table ceiling light fixtures have been replaced. There are new ceiling fans in the bedroom and on the lanai. Plantation Shutters for the sliding glass doors rather than cloth curtains, which helps to keep dust to a minimum.

*******A Note about South Seas Amenities********
South Seas Resort Amenities are NOT included. Those amenities are the 9 hole executive golf course, the pool complex 2 miles north of our property (we have our own heated pools at the Beach Villas), the trolley, the restaurants also at the north end of the resort by the pools, the gym and the resort beach chairs and umbrellas (we have provided two 7' Tommy Bahama beach umbrellas and four Tommy Bahama beach chairs for your use). There is not daily maid service, but it is available for an additional charge. Per state law, there are no private beaches in the State of Florida, so you may put up your beach umbrella and chairs anywhere on the beach that you desire.

We really enjoyed our stay in Captiva at the South Sea Villas... Well equipped beachfront unit, close access to pool and beach. Will definitely come back. The Island is still recovering but already offering a great experience! Loved Captiva.

Lovely condo and beautiful views.
The condo was comfortable and very close to the beach and Andy Rosse Lane. The only time we drove was to go to Sanibel. This was my husband's first time to Captiva and he loved it.

Best Beach Week
Great Gulf view! Easy walking distance to cafes, stores etc. Comfortable large bed,very clean, nicely laid out condo and furnishings. Used the grill and beach chairs and umbrellas with wheeled cart made the 50yrds to beach very easy. Walk to lunches/dinners was a real plus for us.Evenings in screened lanai with fan was always enjoyable to watch sunsets over the Gulf.

Beautiful home
I did not stay in the original listing but was rebooked to a large house with a separate pool. It was a lovely home but due to the extreme heat the pool was quite warm. House was exactly as described and presented in great condition. The contact with kingfisher was also friendly and clear. I would book again.

Will Stay Here Again
Great location and view! The condo was super clean and the furniture was comfortable. Our 11 year old son was just fine on the sofa sleeper. He enjoyed the big TV in the living area. The screened patio was awesome! Easy easy walk to the least crowded beach area and walkable to Starbucks, Doc Fords and everything. The owner was accommodating and the management company was responsive and friendly. We will be back!

Wonderful island condo!
This one-bedroom condo was perfect for our January vacation! The weather was gorgeous, upper 70's to low 80's (made even better since the temps back home were below zero). It sounds cliche, but we did take long walks on the beach every morning. We spent time relaxing on the screened-in lanai during the hottest part of the day (with our iPads and the wifi availability), then used the condo's beach chairs and umbrellas to sit on the beach in the afternoons. Dinner restaurants were just a short walk up the beach - the Key Lime Bistro was our favorite (very good live entertainment). We did not use our car except for a drive into Sanibel to pick up a few groceries. Mike, the owner, was extremely helpful with both the reservation process and making recommendations for restaurants and activities on the island. I highly recommend this condo for couples who want a relaxing winter get-away!

Great Place to Stay!
My husband and I stayed here for a week after visiting Disney World the week before. This was the perfect place to visit after all that walking. We've stayed at South Seas before through the resort, but this was much better (and a lot less expensive)! We had all the comforts of home. Mike and Sheila thought of everything. The beach chairs, umbrellas and cart to get them to the beach were great and easy to use. The condo was beautiful, and the kitchen was well stocked. We cooked several meals in the condo, and ate outside on the lanai overlooking the water. They recently remodeled and everything was really nice. Bed was very comfortable and there were plenty of towels in the bathroom. The ocean water was too cold to swim in, but we took advantage of two of the three heated pools. We walked to Doc Fords Rum Bar & Grill and loved it. Would definitely recommend this place, and we would like to come back when it's a little warmer.

fabulous location!
You really can't beat waking up to the sound of the waves, the comfort of that onshore breeze and the smell of coffee to be enjoyed on the screened-in deck while watching the Ospreys protect and feed their young in the nearby nests. Just wish I had remembered my binoculars! The condo was great - really great, for the morning, afternoon, and evenings. -the only disappointment was the bedroom, which had only one window which faces the entryway (for this unit and for two others) -and a bed and bedding that was OK, but just OK. A small investment in better bedding (mattress and pillows) would largely offset the window issue. We really should have just made up the fold-out bed in the living room and slept closer to the amazing gulf.. - All in all, though, a great spot and a great vacation value.

very nice vacation
Very nice vacation in Captiva at this condo with a wonderful view. Captiva-Sanibel are little gems... The nature is lush, you really enjoy the caribbean feel of it all. Nice condo with wonderful sunset views on screened porch. If you like the gated "resort" feel, with all the amenities, this is for you. Since we were there in July, many families with kids were also renting units. Sometimes the music and the noise was quite present on the premisses (around the nearby pool for ex.), and on the main beach portion, where all the umbrellas with chairs are set together. So thank you for providing umbrellas and two beach chairs with handles to carry them as backpacks : we used them everyday to walk (5-10 min) to the most quiet part of the beach (where the big Beach Homes are) to spend many hours of swimming and reading in a more secluded area - swimming pools were often to busy... and the sea is so nice and calm: no need for them! We discovered a little gem of a store in Sanibel : Gene's bookstore (specialised in movies/DVD and thrillers/mystery books at really good prices); quite a find! Very good communication with owner. Very secure, gated resort and helpful owner that you can trust. The booking is made through professional Royal Shell Vacations rental agency.

Perfect beachfront condo on Captiva at SSIR
This condo is beautifully and comfortably appointed with beach views and steps from the beach and pools. Close to Captiva's restaurants and shopping. Towels, coolers, beach chairs, umbrella all provide to make each day at the beach enjoyable. Kitchen is well stocked and has Keurig and a regular coffee maker. We didn't do much cooking though so we could enjoy eating at all the local restaurants while on vacation.

Property Review
Good. For just two of us, it's fine. We would use this unit again. We have stayed in this unit in the past. It had an extremely slow shower drain a few years ago – and apparently has never been repaired. The use of a real estate agent lockbox for the key is cumbersome and outdated. Digital technology should be utilized. Beach chairs good, umbrellas not good. Three umbrellas – but none of them in good repair. Location very convenient. But the entire South Seas Villas property is a bit tired. Elevators frequently don't work, property maintenance seems ok, but not great.

Perfect location!
My fiancé and I stayed at this condo for a week and had a wonderful time! Honestly the location couldn't have been more perfect. You are literally right next to the beach and two pools! The resort was lovely and the check in process was so seamless. The only reason I didn't give this 5 out of 5 stars is because on our first night the AC was broken so the room was extremely hot and we had to buy a fan to keep it cool. I will say they responded to my email very promptly and sent someone out that night but the guy couldn't fix it till the next morning. While I appreciated the service, I was frustrated that we weren't offered compensation for the fan we had to purchase or a portion of our first night refunded. Other than that, we loved the condo and honestly would book it again if we find ourselves back in captiva.
