Sanibel and Castaway Cottages has been a family favorite for years. Sanibel is also the first time I was ever on the beach, and I’ve fallen in love with the ocean ever since! My mom and I decided to recreate the same picture in the same place 20 years later. Praying for everyone on Sanibel and hoping to return soon.

In 2005, we got married at Tween-waters on the beach. It’s still the very most memorable day we’ve ever had! And our friends and family still say it’s also the best wedding they’ve ever attended. It’s a magical place and will forever be in our hearts.

We have been coming to The Tween since 1989. We have so great memories of all the people that work there and made our vacations so special. We especially loved seeing the otters and the pina coladas and the many bands at The Crow’s Nest. . We were there when Princess Dianna passed and for the Halloween and Christmas celebrations. My son got engaged there 4 years ago and it was a beautiful family memory.. We are with you and will support and pray for The Tween Waters Family and people on the island and for restoration to all! Until we see you again, sending love and hope!

My last visit was with my family May 2013. My oldest son was done with his freshman year of college, my twins were graduating high school and my husband and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary. We had the most amazing and memory filled vacation in paradise. Husband and we’re planning a visit to celebrate 31, but whenever you are ready to have us, we cannot wait to come back

My husband and I fell in love with Sanibel the first time we visited in 2016 and have made at least one trip back yearly since then. We decided to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary there and choose to stay at Castaways because the location is perfect – access to Blind Pass Beach and Turner Beach and basically the center point of our favorite restaurants and attractions on both Sanibel and Captiva. Right in front of the Castaways beachfront cottages, I found a junonia on this 20th anniversary trip and my husband found a very large horse conch and large lightening whelk. We felt like these were gifts directly from God celebrating this milestone anniversary right there with us.
My husband and I always come back for the peace we have when are there. There is something truly magical about how we are able to disconnect from the daily grind and revive our minds and spirits.

Our family has been vacationing at the Castaways for over 25 years. The countless amount of memories we have created there are PRICELESS to us. Our thoughts and prayers are with the AMAZING staff and look forward to being able to return in the future.

We were fortunate enough to stay right before the hurricane. It breaks our hearts to see what everyone is going through. We had such an incredible time. The rooms were clean and comfortable and we had a great view over the bay. We loved having drinks by the pool and the Old Captiva House restaurant was fantastic. It was a quick ride in the car to either side of the island which was very convenient. We hope that they are able to rebound soon because we can’t wait to visit again.

Last year was our second year in Captiva and first at Tween Waters … as a single mom – I need reasonable yet comfortable accommodations and we hit the jackpot with Tween Waters. We loved every moment. Our hearts and prayers are with all those impacted. We can’t wait to return !
