It was freshly remodeled, well decorated, and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. The house is quiet and comfortable, yet perfectly located near all of the action in Captiva. It was only a 3 minute walk in one direction to the beach and in the other to the restaurants and shops. We would definitely recomment Ricks Retreat to friends and family and look forward to our next stay." Walk, bike, ride with plenty of room to be six feet apart from others.
