You MUST Stay Here!This was our first trip to North Captiva Island, and it absolutely won’t be our last. Wine’d Down was the perfect home base for our family of four (kids ages 15 and 18). The island itself is a dream, and every detail of this stay was seamless. We used Island Girl Ferry Service—easy, friendly, and beyond accommodating, even when we missed our scheduled ferry due to a flight delay. We also used Shally’s to stock our kitchen beforehand and they went above and beyond—meeting us at the dock, loading our luggage, and leading us to the house with our golf cart ready to go. We didn’t lift a bag until unpacking!We did have an issue with the golf cart the first day, but Shally’s mechanic was quick, kind, and helpful, even bringing us a replacement until repairs were made. Rich, the owner of Wine’d Down, personally checked in with us—something we’ve never experienced at a vacation rental.The house is ideally located: steps to the beach, a quick ride to other access points, and close to Mango’s and Barnacles for ice cream, lunch, and pool time. We explored the island, soaked up the sunsets, and took nightly golf cart drives.We’ve been to a lot of beach vacation homes, but this one tops the list. Trust me—don’t walk, RUN to book Wine’d Down!
