You cannot ride the trolley, you cannot play on the golf course, you cannot use the gym, you cannot use their beach chairs or their beach towels. You cannot buy anything at the stores in the resort as they do not take money, only South Seas Room charges. The best restaurants are off the premises and many are just as close as eating at the resort since the resort is spread out. Trash bins are under the building to the extreme right when looking at the building from the parking lot—sort of go underneath the right hand set of stairs and you will see them. There is a barbeque at the pool that you are welcome to use, there is gas provided and there are two BBQ areas; the barbeque equipment in the closet in the kitchen. This is at the pool that you see right outside the screen patio.

There is a mini vacuum, as well as mop, broom and pail to help keep the place clean if so desired since sand easily gets into the unit by tracking in on shoes. There is also Jerry’s on Periwinkle. There is a CVS just up from the Speedway station. Believe it or not, gas is CHEAP at the Speedway station too. It is for sure the best place to fill up. The Island Store on Captiva has some Groceries, beer wine, liquor, fresh produce, health and beauty aids, and suntan products. Dining Out and other stuff Our favorites are: T The Green Flash--- The Green Flash sandwich for Lunch is great, the motzarella appetizer is hand made not the frozen nasty kind plus the marinara dipping sauce that comes with them is also very good. Also for lunch the crunchy grouper sandwich is very good. They also have the crunchy grouper for diner and it is delicious it comes with spinach and a potato. The bread that is served with dinner is also very good. The view is great. We like to sit at the bar, but table service is fine also. Island Pizza is great they have a cheese filled crust option which is very good.
