  a guest from Fayetteville, Arkansas recommends this vacation rental

  We had a marvelous stay at Sunset Captiva #18. The house is beautiful and well appointed. We had lots of space and everything we needed. It was pleasant surprise to walk in the front door and find a bright and cheery atmosphere. We love the artwork and attention to detail. The walk to the beach was easy. The grounds were immaculate. We would definitely choose this house again. American Realty was very easy to work with!!

  We have stayed in Sunset Captiva for many years. This was our first stay in this home. The new owners have done a nice job of updating this property. It is close to the well maintained pool area and of course the beach. We enjoy the many eating choices and the quiet and safe atmosphere.

  Jessica C from Scarsdale, NY recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed in many houses in the Sunset Captiva complex, and this one did not disappoint. It was clean, roomy, well-stocked with necessities, and overall a very pleasant place to be. The hot water wasn't functioning when we arrived, but the problem was fixed after two service calls. Our only complaint was the annoyance of someone at the door arriving unannounced to service the air conditioner (we said "no,") and then another phone call from your office requesting that we let him in, which we also said "no" to. The air conditioning was fine, and we were on vacation and had had enough service people at the house already. It is our suggestion that you send service people when the house is unoccupied.

  We enjoyed 2 beautiful weeks at this home..a 3 minute walk to the beach, and a 60 second walk to the pool. The home is well cared for, it was neat and clean. We didn't even rent a car, just a couple of bikes and we enjoyed a stroll every evening to dinner at one of the many restaurants close by.
