A week in paradise at Gumbo Limbo Gumbo Limbo was heavenly. The house is beautifully decorated and immaculately maintained. Everything we needed was there: a fully stocked kitchen of cookware, filtered water and ice maker, cozy linens, comfy furniture and all beach accessories.The location is perfect, quietly nestled in among the lush landscape and a short golf cart ride to beaches and resort pools.Sandy's advance recommendations, check-in instructions and welcome package surpassed what this professional event-planner expected.We had a few minor questions during our stay and Sandy's response time was lightning fast and helpful.Groceries from Publix/Instacart was a snap and very much needed. There is really nowhere to shop on the island the the little markets are insanely expensive.Advance reservations for over-the-water restaurant highly recommended and remember to bring your own wine/beer when you go there for dinner.We had so much fun exploring all of the beaches and resort offerings. We were completely "at home" in no time. Can't wait to return next year!

Gumbo Limbo Paradise This property is exactly as described, or better! Sandy, the host is responsive and accommodating, though there were absolutely no issues. The home is immaculate and well appointed with everything needed for a carefree family get away. The property is private, surrounded by lush trees and plants; without a lot of cart or foot traffic. My family loved the outdoor shower for after beach sand removal! The beds and linens were very comfortable. Though an easy 5-10 minute walk to a beach, I would recommend a golf cart rental to comfortably explore the island and transport umbrellas, picnic items, etc to beaches with ease. Sandy is a very informative host, providing recommendations and considerations to make your stay as simple as possible. We thank her for sharing her home with us and will definitely return!!!

Amazing stay Gumbo Limbo was the perfect place. The location is amazing for sure. Sandy was the best hostess and communicator. She helped us with recommendations for all our needs. The house is perfect and provided us with everything we needed for a great balance of cooking our own meals or eating at the pool. Highly recommend this option. Thank you

Unforgettable Family Getaway at Gumbo Limbo in North Captiva Island Home Our family of six, including two adults and four children aged 4-12, had the most incredible stay at Sandy's beautiful home on North Captiva Island. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and convenience of this centrally located gem. The kitchen was a dream, equipped with everything we needed to cook every meal. The highlight for the kids (and adults!) was the ice cream machine, which added a fun and delicious touch to our evenings. Access to both island clubs was a fantastic perk, providing us with plenty of activities and entertainment options. Gumbo Limbo thoughtfully provided every beach essential imaginable, saving us from the hassle of lugging extra luggage. From umbrellas to beach toys, we had everything we needed for a perfect beach day. Sandy's responsiveness and dedication to ensuring our stay was perfect truly stood out. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable, addressing any questions or needs promptly. The island life was pure bliss – low key, no cars, just relaxation and quality family time. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Sandy, for making our stay unforgettable. We can't wait to return!

Great Host / Amazing Home / Terrific Location! We had a very memorable week at Gumbo Limbo on North Captiva! Sandy was a terrific host and the home was everything we had hoped for and more. This special beach home was well equipped and beautifully appointed. It was close to several beaches and other amenities on the island. We hope to return! Thank you Sandy.
