    My family is 4th generation Captiva vacationers. Nothing compares to Captiva Island and Tween Water’s. Whether it’s Jasmine greeting us at the Captiva house, or Alex serving us and enjoying his fun conversations . We have so many family memories made there. Last year Dan sang me Happy Birthday at the Serenity Pool on my birthday. My heart goes out to all the employees and those affected by the hurricane. We will be back as soon as you all are

    We got married on the beach at Tween on 11/11/11. We have brought our girls on vacation here ever since. I started coming to Sanibel and Captiva when I was a kid and feel so lucky to share this incredibly special community and place with my husband and our girls. We had a trip planned in November for our 11th anniversary. While travel plans will have to change, we are committed to helping in the rebuilding process however we can. We will be back the 1st chance we get. -The Peeters Family

    After learning about the closing of a Naples resort we had been visiting for 13 years for our trips to the West Coast, we were on the hunt for a new location ~ a new home. A tradition of Old Florida – not the easiest to come across. We were told about Tween years ago and. finally made a reservation with big expectations. That was Sept of 2021. We returned for Fathers Day Weekend 2022 which coincides with Captivaville and we enjoyed the live music. However, my favorite memory was this last visit . We were there, 9/23-9/25 (3 days before Ian!). It was an extremely stressful week for me and my husband and I were celebrating our 20th year anniversary. As we arrived around 4:30pm, we checked in and my husband went to park while I followed with the room keys.
    We stayed in the Coconut building for the first time and as I was walking to the building tears rolled down my face. Tears of joy because I felt in my soul we had found our new home! We’ve been looking for a new west coast home and Tween filled the gap and that meant the world to me! Plus – I have to add, on this trip we enjoyed the bikes for the first time and Jasmine made my daughter the BEST hot chocolate ever!!!

    We love castaways, the location, the proximity of the store and the restaurants, Castaways’ and Turner beach. Honestly the best location because you don’t have to leave for anything unless you want to. Number 7 is the BEST!! So many trips and can’t wait to see what you guys do in the future.

    My girlfriends and I stayed at Tween Waters first of August. We couldn’t have had a nicer time. Weather was perfect, beach was awesome and staff at resort and Captiva House were so gracious. The hurricane was devastating and we are heartbroken. But we are excited about what’s to come with the rebuild so we can visit you all again. Prayers and God Bless!!
