We stayed recently for 3 nights in the PO Box. It was the cheapest room (still, it came in at $199 a night), but was spacious. There was a short walk down to the beach and we loved that Jensen's supplied just about everything you'd need for a day on the beach: beach chairs, towels, floats, shell nets, buckets, etc.... More

This is the best place to stay in the area. We stayed at the honeymoon suite and the view was great! We recommend bringing everything you want to ear and drink as there are cute and entertaining restaurants and bars in the area but overpriced food and nothing to rave about. Walk over to the something duck for a beer... More

We love Jensens on the Gulf and have been staying here once a year for 3 years now. Last summer we stayed in the Penthouse and it was the greatest. The view from the top floor out over the gulf was BEAUTIFUL, day or night the view was perfect. The unit inside was lovely and plenty of room for 2... More

This is the first time we stayed at Jensen's. We chose the beach side, and stayed in the Penthouse on the recommendation of the owner. The suite was very comfortable -- two large sofas, a chair and ottoman in the living room; a large dining table; a well-equiped kitchen. The porch and view from the third floor was fabulous --...

My husband and I have been staying here since 2001 and absolutely love this place! The rooms are updated and clean. You literally step out your front door and you're in the sand. The property sits underneath some gorgeous large Australian pines that give you shade throughout the day. The kitchens are well appointed and the bathrooms are clean. If... More

We stayed at the PO Box about 18 months ago and fell in love with Captiva. The Jensen's could not have been more helpful and really made us feel welcome. The room was lovely and very homely - the furnishings are beautiful and the bed comfortable. It's just a few steps away from the beach which was quiet and peaceful.... More

We rented Beach Nest for a few days in Feb 2012. It was our first trip to Florida and it was a perfect holiday. Beach Nest was very comfortable and the interior decor was beautiful ! Very close to the beach which has lots of shells. Overall wonderful experience. Totally worth the money. Highly recommended !

We stayed for a week in the Honeymoon Suite. It was extremely comfortable and convenient to the Village. The beach was uncrowded and wonderful. The screened porch made sunrises and sunsets all the better! Room is on the 3rd floor which afforded spectacular views of the gulf, pelicans, dolphin and just everything on the beach, but if you have any... More
