We use them every time we book in Captiva. Always friendly. I do wish there were more options for staying different and/or less days besides Saturday to Saturday, especially if a place isn't booked. American Realty does it all to make each guest's experience the very best! Their Staff is always there day and night to help with whatever you need and they have their own large stock of most household items right on site.
Their maintenance personnel can fix just about anything and always have a smile on their face because they love what they do. If you stay at an American Realty property you are in good hands - relax and enjoy! Booked a house here for myself and a few other friends that were part of my friend's bridal party.

Services
Captiva Island, Florida, has plenty of fun activities for guests of all ages and all interests. If you're staying near Captiva's Village Center, you can easily walk to any of the shops, restaurants, merchants, and even our own Captiva Library. Having a great game of golf or tennis then relaxing by the pool and soaking up that glorious Florida sunshine.
American Realty of Captiva is a small, family-owned business managed by long-time Captiva Island residents - experienced and professional. We also know the history and culture of Captiva, its businesses, and many of its permanent and seasonal residents - we live here too! Our office is in the heart of Captiva Village - not some office park on the mainland.
Captiva Cottages would like you to visit one of the best locations on Captiva Island. These cute cottages are comfortably nestled among royal palms, whispering pines, and tropical flowers. The waterfront property takes full advantage of the natural beauty and magnificent views out over the bay. The Cottage #8 is water front, the others are a few steps back, but all share the grounds.
Captiva Island, Florida, has become a remarkable center for dining out, with fantastic food and appealing atmosphere. Some restaurants are famous attractions of themselves, and draw visitors from off-island just for a Captiva meal. Others are undiscovered gems that you can enjoy in peaceful bliss, over and over again.
The beautiful tropical paradise known as Captiva Island sits in the Gulf of Mexico, in warm, sunny southwest Florida. Here you'll find the Captiva Library (also known as the Captiva Memorial Library) and Civic Center. The Captiva Library is a great resource for visitors and residents alike. Inside, you'll find not only useful books but helpful people who can provide information not readily available in any book.

Every year we have a family vacation in Captiva. It is a heavenly place and great for relaxation. What makes it an easy trip to plan is the American Realty of Captiva. They are professional, quick to answer any question, and if there is ever an issue while on the island they are quick to address it and fix it. We have used them for 16 years and we like that they are local and not a big company that you have to go through layers and layers to book. We love AMRC and will use them as long as we go to Captiva (which we hope is forever!!!). Great company. Support local!!!

We rented the Grey Heron guest House July 3-10th and my Son and In-laws Rented the main house.
I can not speak for my Sons experience at the main House, but I can speak about my Experience in the Guest house.
Day1 July 3 rd upon arrival the HVAC system did not work so they dispatched a Technician for an intermittent problem. HVAC system managed to stay on until the 8th of July.
Day 3 July 5th Hurricane Elsa brought flooding and deep standing water that made it almost impossible to get out because the Property floods, perhaps the Property should invest in Sump Pumps to help with Drainage so Tenants

DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THIS COMPANY!!! Absolutely awful communication with a severe lack of customer service. No one on the team was responsive while we were on the property and then proceeded to insult us by claiming we were making false claims about trying to contact them. They had an excuse for every issue we had with no interest in resolving them or ensuring a better experience in the future. My family has stayed on the island annually for over fifteen years. This is the first and last time we will ever use this company.

The worst service we have ever experience never ever deal with American Realty!!! we rented and got confirmation and they charged my credit card. Then they cancelled out reservation a day before checking for. With no real ligament explanation. They ruined my families only summer vacation. They where very rude and on professional the Manager ( Lisa Wheeler) gave us a BS excuse.

If you are looking to visit Captiva please DO NOT USE this rental company. We have spent the last 3 months trying to get them to reschedule our trip in June until 2021 because of the pandemic. There have been numerous emails and phone call to them and they have 100% refused to work with us because the country shut down. We have never asked them for our money back only to reach out to the homeowners to reschedule our visit. Everything else on our vacation has been either cancelled or rescheduled with absolutely no hassle. Now we paying for a vacation they we are unable to take. If I could give them

UPDATE: The manager called me the next day and went above and beyond to make it right! Very friendly and helpful.
False Advertising!!! The website I booked our rental on clearly stated private pool. Paid almost $8,0000 for a private pool rental due to myself and my 4 year old niece being immune compromised and not wanting to risk exposure to others. I asked just be changed to another rental with a private pool and would even pay the difference if it was more. NOPE, NOTHING FROM THEM.

Even though the owner said we could, American realty will not let us reschedule our vacation unless they can get get someone else to risk their lives during the pandemic and take over our Aug 1-8 booking. Alan said they will only credit us 50% for a future booking at the house if we do not travel to Florida for our pre-arranged vacation. I understand they are trying to protect their investment, but at the expense of our health? Why won’t you let us reschedule? We even purchased insurance for this scenario! No future business from us - as well as everyone else I can convince not do business with

My family rented a private home on Captiva Island through American Realty of Captiva. Before checking American Realty we spent hours on the internet doing research to find the right fit for our family. We came upon the American Realty website and it was very helpful. They have a great selection of homes for every budget. My family had a small, but specific list of things that we had to have and American Realty delivered. I liked the online calendar that allows you to check availability without making a phone call and it was easy to make the reservation online. We booked months in advance and anytime
