Stunning Views from this One Bedroom Gulf Front Villa at South Seas

**South Seas has Construction throughout the property, please expect noise, construction materials and construction workers**

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.

Paradise lost
Condo was fine.Construction on building and painting on condo patio and door was annoying.Also construction was every day from 6 am to 7pm with debris everywhere.In my opinion, the complex was not ready for guests.The plus side was no crowds.

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.

Lovely view and location
The unit was clean and the kitchen adequate for a weeks vacation. The view is lovely and location convenient for walking to restaurants. We loved the comfortable beach chairs. It was cold while we were there and the furnace wasn't working but the management company was responsive.

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.

Enjoyed the sunsets from the screened porch very much. We really loved the island as it felt like we were out of the country in the Carribean. The condo was clean and provided all the beach tools needed (chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards).

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.

Great Location
This unit is in a great location close to pool, beach, shops and restaurants. Unit is nice size for 2 people and well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. We stayed near the end of the season so there was some wear and tear evident in the bathroom and the beach equipment.
