a guest from Lincoln, CA recommends this vacation rental
We came for a first time visit with a extended family of 10 from age 3 to 73 to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. We are from California, love the beach, and wanted to experience the Florida gulf for a change. This house is perfect for a large group. The beds were very comfortable, the home has lots of room to spread out, and the location was ideal. The pool was fabulous. The beach is steps away and not crowded even though we were there during Spring Break. The little ones loved collecting shells and water/sand play. The sunsets incredible. The house was clean with the exception of the BBQ grease tray which was overflowing and a pain to clean as there were no spare jars or cans in which to collect the grease. The management also does not leave any extra paper towels or cleaning items--just a bare minimum to get you going for a day or so. The house is comfortable but is showing some signs of wear and tear and could use some TLC. This was not an issue, but couldn't help noticing. We did not try the sauna, or jacuzzi. We could not figure out how to use the elevator and could find no instructions. Luckily we had strong men to help carry baggage up stairs and every one was able bodied. There are lots of stairs in this house so be aware if stairs are a issue. The light switches and fan switches are not labeled, so that takes some time and trial and error to figure out. TV's nice and all were working. There were plenty of towels for the bathrooms and pool use. Bring your own paper products, cleaning products, plastic storage and garbage bags, and all your own spices as the cleaning crew removes everything. We were flying home so could not take that with us. It was annoying to have to buy these things knowing that any leftovers were not going to be saved for the next person--I hate waste. The restaurants on Captiva were all fabulous. We used Native Guides for a half day boat trip to Cayo Costa. Loved the Shell Museum.

We love Captiva and the location of this house. The screened porch, pool and spa make it just about perfect. Anytime we’ve called for a maintenance issue the response has been quick. The house is clean and comfortable. The guest house option accommodates a large family. Our only concern is the outdoor gas grill is not properly maintained. My husband wanted to clean it up a bit but there was nowhere to dispose of the overflowing grease pan.

We had a wonderful time in Captiva this last week. House was very nice and accommodated our family well. Wonderful pool and so close to beach. Lots of cute shops and bars to enjoy. Would definitely stay here again.

The home and location were just as described. Very spacious. Management company staff was very professional. We rented from Saturday to Saturday. Unfortunately a tropical storm came through on Tuesday so we had debris in the pool and deck for the rest of the week.

Our vacation was amazing. The house is spacious and well cared for. Could have used more kitchen utensils, mixer, and baking pans. We ran out of dishwasher soap, dish soap,laundry soap, hand soap and had to purchase more. The beach was not crowded at all. Maybe six or seven people. It felt like we had our own private beach. Sunsets were gorgeous. Wish we could have stayed another week. I would absolutely recommend the Grey Heron vacation home.

This was an amazing location. So private and peaceful. We saw beautiful sunsets, dolphins, & a manatee. We look forward to going back.

Overall, this is an amazing home with a breathtaking view and close access to the beach. However, it could use an overall “upgrade”, especially in the kitchen of the Main House. The indoor “sauna” was non-functional and the master bath tub jets did not work. This was not mentioned in the house summary. While our family of 12 had a wonderful time, I have made a list of some of the issues we noted during our stay: in the Guest House, bathroom sink handle broken (right sink/right handle) and 2 TVs in bedrooms do not work - no reception. In the Main House, Stove glass is broken and one burner does not work. Need to label light switches in main house - they are very confusing. Microwave broken (tiny countertop microwave replacement). Not enough towels (beach or bath towels). Need more kitchen utensils. Ice maker broken in main house - ice does not come out of refrigerator door. More blankets/throws for guests. More seating in main house great room. A couple of armchairs would be nice. Multiple pool chairs were broken. Beach chairs were flimsy and cheap. Would be nice to have chaise lounges much like houses on each side. Overall, I nice upgrade would benefit this property.

Loved the Island, loved the house. Had a great time and booked for next year. My only suggestion would be to beef up the kitchen utilities (some of the things we missed were a tray, serving dishes and serving pieces, whisk, etc ) but this was a small thing. I give it a 5 overall

We stayed at Grey Heron for a week in January 2020. The home is loaded with amenities, and the property is very private. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Grey Heron has everything you need and more. The property was clean, spacious and met all our needs for a great beach vacation. Upstairs bedroom suit does get warm during the day.

Daniel B from Eatonton, GA recommends this vacation rental
Very nicely updated house. The beds were comfortable and there is plenty of room in dining area for entertaining. There is a propane grill on the back deck. The pool area is very relaxing. Very short walk to the beach. Feels like a private beach as it’s far enough from the public access. The upstairs master suite does get hot in the summer but fans help with this. Overall great house and would stay here again.
