    We have been coming to Castaways for over 10 years. Our little slice of heaven and respite during every holiday for the 2 years of COVID. One of the only resorts that was dog-friendly where we could bring Buddy the Schnauzer. We will be back as soon as they are ready for us.

    I just love this picture of my daughter at the Old Captiva House. We started vacationing on Sanibel and Captiva since before she was born. The Old Captiva House has always been on our list of favorite places. We are praying for those in the area who have lost loved ones, their homes, and their sources of income in the devastation. We look forward to the day when we can return to these islands with patience and all the love in our hearts for the residents of Southwest Florida.

    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!

    We’ve had so many wonderful memories at Castaways and Tween Waters Inn. I can’t call one of them “my favorite. My first visit to Sanibel Island was when I was about 8 years old…so it had to be around 1965. My husband’s first trip to Sanibel/Captiva was on our honeymoon back in 1978 at Tween Waters Inn. Our most recent visit was a few months ago in July. We were blessed to stay at Castaways. The weather was superb and we had a fantastic time! We look forward to our next visit with great anticipation. Prayers for you all as you prepare for our return. I hope our heartfelt donation helps make it a little easier.

    Some of my most precious memories are from the family vacations we would take to the Beachview cottages each April. From running down to my family to relaxing on the wooden structure overlooking the gulf to shelling with mom and chasing lizards in the evenings up the palm trees. The sand path to the ocean lined with colorful cottages with palm trees towering overtop will always have a special place in my heart.
