The Lighthouse is a short bike ride away.

You can't beat being across the street from the gorgeous beach and so close to area shops and sites. It's Florida and I realize there are bugs and snakes. Another easy fix with a little spackle to keep the bugs out. Also there where a few small holes in the walls and ceiling. So we got ants and creepy caterpillars on the floor. So easy to fix, I almost bought a new one myself. For example, the rubber gasket around the main door was rotted out and all kinds of creatures easily got in. While the inside was very neat and clean and all the amenities where available, there seemed to be a few very simple things they could have fixed to make it even better. And I didn't like the fact that this snake haven was directly behind the bedroom wall.

Lawn mowers and broken beach carts and coolers. The area directly behind the room, the outside, was used as a sort of dumping area for old beach and lawn stuff. We stayed in the Tropical Paradise room/suite which was in the better location as far as the inn goes. That's the way to see this island and Billy's bike rentals has the monopoly on that, but they deliver and pick up, so no complaints there. My husband used the canoe for a few minutes, he put the life jacket on but no actual safety measures in place, nothing to sign etc.Great location. There's enough parking for everyone so that was great. It was that bad we had a '2 more showers' '1 more shower' countdown going on! Not good!! We stayed at the South Seas on Captiva last year but wanted something more 'beachy' this time - maybe it was a bit too beachy for us! The walls were paper thin and we could hear every cough and toilet flush from the other rooms. The room itself has been nicely decorated, was clean & smelt lovely! However, already knowing it was the smallest room the the property we were shocked at how small it actually was! The shower was the worst thing ever & I seriously wish I had been able to find photos/a review that mentioned this previously I would not have booked! I spent 3 days walking around with shampoo & conditioner stuck in my hair as it literally pissed out and we couldn't wash properly! It was soooo small and no space to put toiletries - I am 7 months pregnant & kept hitting my arm & back when trying to bend down to pick my things up in there! You also step out practically straight into the toilet. My husband & I stayed here for 3 nights in Heron Hideaway.
