Tween Waters is the very best. My two sons and I have been there twice in the past 4 months. From the front office staff, to the pool staff, everyone is so kind and go above and beyond. It’s our favorite place to visit. Id like to also highlight your poolside staff member, Ray. He is so wonderful and treats us like family. We can’t wait to be back! Love Tweenies!

I proposed to my fiancé in November of 2020 at West Wind after years of staying there. We love the staff, the resort, the restaurant and Upper Deck pool bar.

My husband and I celebrated our 35th anniversary here- our last before his diagnosis and passing from cancer. We also spent our 20th at Tween Waters many years ago! A special place that will live in my heart forever.

Been vacationing there in summertime since in 1992- my oldest son was 4, he is now 34 and youngest 22. We enjoyed watching sunrise on the bay and seeing the manatees and sunset on the golf! All the stress of universe left us once we saw the Tween Waters sign. Our family favorites was breakfast brunch and crab races on Thursdays !
Blessings to everyone (specially the host at old Captiva house who has been the greater than 20 years)!!!!

We used to come for a week in heaven at tween waters every spring. We love your resort and it was there that we decided to retire in Ft. Myers so we could be closer to your resort and could visit just because. We love Captiva and especially Tween Waters. Can’t wait until you reopen!

As a very young child, I started going to the Castaway Cottages. I have lots and lots of memories. I’ll tell you about 2 memories that stick out. First one is that I learned how to swim in the ocean with my grandpa. We were far our into the ocean, my grandma was at the shore yelling at my grandpa to bring me back to shore. Second one is that I’m on a post card. My mom, dad and I were walking down the beach and was approached by a gentleman and his little girl. The man asked my parents if he could take a picture of me and his little girl. And last memory I have is the sad one is, we put my grandma’s ashes in the ocean. I have meant to come back, but there’s always something that have prevented me from coming back. I love Sanibel Island and wish I could afford to live there.

My little one loved going to Sanibel and staying at the cottages. She would spend hours looking for shells and when low tide came we would go back out to look for more shells. The best of our family vacations have been at Sanibel at the cottages.

I really do not have one favorite story, each time I have been there has been amazing. From just relaxing by the Serenity Pool, sunning on the beach or enjoying the Island Hopper Festival, it is our favorite beach.
