About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gulf Front! Now 20% off rates from now until Thanksgiving!

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

While you won’t have access to South Seas Resort amenities, this villa comes with plenty of its own perks! Your property condo amenities include a large heated pool, pickleball and tennis courts, high-speed Wi-Fi, outdoor grills, community washer/dryers (coin operated), beach chairs and towels and—of course—the beach just steps away. It’s everything you need for the perfect getaway! Golf Cart rentals are close by but please note that only electric carts are allowed within the gates of South Seas.

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, 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 Captiva Village, where you will find dining and shopping. It's nice not to 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 countertops with a 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 bathtub and commode area. The 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.

Kingfisher Vacations will only book reservations up to 51 weeks in advance.
All our properties have contact-free check-in; no need to stop at the office (or a stop light, none of those here)!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Checking was a disaster. No welcome instruction at gate as promised. Finally got to on call maintenance man via emergency number who confirmed our reservation and met us at resort reception area, took us to unit and opened key box. All perfect from there on but a very frustrating and disheartening beginning.

Very nice unit great view.

Had a great time in Captiva. There were some problems with unit ; dishwasher heating element did not work, had to hand dry everything, repairman confirmed problem. Was not fixed during our stay. TV feed went out twice, came back after 12 hours went out again before we checked out and was out when we left. Those problems aside it is a very nice unit. Would suggest upgrading Tv to high def and internet to high speed.

We were very pleased with our stay. They condo was furnished with umbrellas, chairs and towels. We don't know of anyone else providing towels. We had everything we need plus a few extra supplies like K-cups to get us started. The condo was nicely furnished and the location was perfect. We will definitely return!
