Lika Laika

We had a comfortable stay here! Lovely pool, nice a/c, clean house, quiet, easy access. Beds comfortable. Nice living room space. Kitchen items were limited but everything we needed. No really nice outside space to sit. Property management exceptional and responsive. Overall a very comfortable stay. Beach a four minute walk; house is right in town.

Great week in Captiva at Lika Laika

Anonymous from Heath Springs - Posted: 8/2/2021

We recently stayed at Lika Laika for a week. It’s a lovely home that was spacious and clean. We have stayed in many rentals in the Sanibel/Captiva area and found this one to have most of what we needed. The beach equipment was a real plus and includes chairs, umbrella and a cart. We were surprised that even though it is close to the town center, it was very quiet. The only call out is that the mattress in the master is really very very firm! We would definitely consider staying in this “happy” home! Thank You!

Beautiful house in excellent shape, great location, wonderful pool! American Reality staff were very responsive to our request to turn up the temperature in the pool. Had a great time and have already booked for next year.

Good house

The Lika Laika house is, in my opinion, on the best little street in the main area of Captiva. It is quiet and is a short walk to the beach. Lika Laika is at the end of the road which makes for easy access to all restaurants but maintains the quiet of the private road. The house is comfortable and has lots of room for spreading out and relaxing. We had a problem with the HVAC the first night and they came out and fixed it within 90 minutes. The only suggestion I would have for management is to replace the master bedroom mattress. It's like sleeping on a wooden board. Also, there is an issue with those tiny ants. We purchased bug killer and used it in the master bathroom almost everyday. Otherwise, the house, the pool, the landscaping and the interior decor are great. Would rent again.

Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving week at this rental. Location is very convenient to everything including beach, restaurants and store. Easy walk to Boops for orange crunch cake as well as Starbucks before morning shell hunting Beach walks. House was clean and comfortable. We would be happy to return in future

We had a lovely stay at Lika Laika. It's the perfect location between the beach (a bit of a walk but doable!) and the Captiva Island grocery store and restaurants. With main floor twin beds and a hallway bath that includes a shower it's perfect for those who don't want to do a lot of stairs. Am Realty staff was attentive to requests and it was a very enjoyable trip!

We had a beautiful time and loved staying at Lika Laika for the first time. We have been vacationing in Captiva for 26 years, and this year did not disappoint!! We loved the house and its convenient location, an easy walk to all our favorite restaurants and of course to the beautiful beaches. We absolutely love working with American Realty, they are so attentive to any needs we had. My only suggestion is to replace the queen size bed with a king size bed in the other bedroom on the second floor. I mentioned this to our friends at American Realty and they were open to our suggestion. We have already made a deposit and look forward to returning next year!!!

This is a well maintained home with easy walking access to the beach, restaurants and the small Captiva Island grocery store. More comfortable seating on the upper deck would be nice. Overall, this home is very comfortable and was stocked with all the 'away from home' necessities one might need.

Just finished up with a very fun family vacation. Accommodations were exceptional. Would stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Lika Laika...However we do feel that the decor needs updating. The house is beautiful, but it definitely needs some love. Seems more like a work horse rental, instead of a high end expensive rental.

We had an excellent stay at Lika Laika. The house is very quiet and very clean and very comfortable with every amenity you could wish for. It is also a quick and easy walk both to the beautiful beach and to the charming village. Highly recommend both this home and American Realty!!

As usual an ultimate getaway

House was very nice. Well equipped kitchen, beach chairs and umbrellas along with a cart to take them to the beach. Gas grill was clean and worked well. Pool was clean and a nice change from the beach. Great location near village, restaurants, and island store. Rental company was very hard to work with. Hard to reach by phone, no refunds even if they cancelled due to property being under construction, had to follow up by email and messages to get security deposit and credit owed to us. Will not rent through them again, even though we really liked this property.

We had a great Stay at the house. It was a beautiful, large space for a family of 6. We loved that there were beach accessories available as well as beach towels, etc. Kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make Breakfast, Lunch and 3 dinners because of it. Eating out on the island and service levels proved to be very irritating, so if we were to come back, I am sure we would cook more dinners at home. While the property was lovely, it did appear to need a little bit of maintenance. Namely, there was a strong musty, moldy smell - stronger upstairs. The sprinkler system was shooting forcefully each morning and getting the car port all wet and anything in it (bikes and trailer) The master bath shower did not drain well, the vanity on one side couldn't be opened without it coming off the wall, the outdoor shower doesn't have a drain - so the water just runs onto the lanai and gets the rug and deck wet, the closet rack in the master was broken, the dryer would not dry clothes (my husband finally took it apart to the best of his ability and found it jam packed with lint, allowing no air flow.

All and all, relatively minor issues (thankfully my sister had rented a house down the road in which we could dry our clothes) just a little inconvenient. The musty mold smell might have cause a problem for someone with allergies - but we don't have any.
