We absolutely loved our stay at Tidewater. With 5 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms each family had their own bedroom and bathroom with ample room and space. From the moment we entered the home we were all extremely surprised by how spacious the living room, dining room and kitchen were. A huge surprise was the ground level area surrounding the pool that is not shown in photos- a table for 6, an outdoor kitchen with 4 barstools, small refrigerator, and a grill, a daybed, and another seating area. This space plus the pool and spa are all screened in. The pool area is fenced off with a safety gate and in the afternoon this area was partially in the shade which was nice after being out in the sun earlier in the day on the beach. Outside the screened area is a sandy beach area with a corn hole game, and more seating. The garage has a refrigerator, several beach carts, beach umbrellas, and more beach chairs than you would ever need. There was room for a car in one side of the garage, but we used this space for several baby strollers. The driveway held our 5 SUVs and a golf cart. There is an ample supply of bath towels, and beach towels in the linen closets. The home is so well supplied that you only need to bring your suitcases and groceries. Everything and anything else you can imagine is most likely at the house. Best of all, Brian, our host, was very responsive before and during our stay. The landscape was changed due to Ian, but it did not detract from the natural beauty of Captiva.
