Mark this one a keeper!

Millertime is even better in person. Everything is clean and well cared for. Having your own pool and the beach less than a block away make for the perfect location. The home is inviting. You feel right at home immediately. You can tell the owners take good care of the property. You have everything you need to enjoy your vacation including beach towels, chairs and laundry facilities. The outdoor shower even was warm!

Captiva Captives

I would rent through the local rental agency next time, not VRBO, with all their fees. This was our 2nd week on Captiva so we had the first house to compare this to. This house was the better of the two for sure! Good sized bedrooms, bathrooms and outdoor space. It was super clean and welcoming. We communicated directly with the owners only and they were wonderful. The house was well stocked as with COVID we cooked every meal in. I can’t think of much else we would have wanted except maybe 2 more lounge chairs around the pool (there were 2 and there were 6 of us.) The house in a perfect location. Wonderful week! We would highly recommend this house! Thank you Dan and Sue!

Wonderful place to stay!

I have stayed in this property many times. It is a great location, close to the beach and to at least 4 good restaurants in walking distance. I love the pool. The house is perfect. The kitchen has what you need. I do bring my own Keurig, but it has a coffee maker. I have stayed in 5 other houses on Captiva, but this is my favorite. I would only choose another if I had too many people.

Property is as advertised

On the positive side House is pleasant. Pool and deck area were very relaxing. Kitchen was nice with plenty of room and plenty of utensils. Bedrooms and bathrooms were as expected. Beach is only a two houses walk, very easy to get to. Excellent beach chairs provided. House decor is lovely. Check in, check out, linens, garbage etc, all worked like a charm. Easiest house I have ever rented in that respect. On the negative side Pool was a bit colder than we expected. TV selection was very hard to figure out, and changed from one room to the next. There were not many TV channels available, most were blocked. Beds were a bit soft. Lighting leaves something to be desired. All of the above would support a much higher review. But the worst part of the experience, and the reason that the score is so low, was the lawn crews. On one day, on three different occasions, people just emerged through the fence, in theory, working on the lawn (blowing, raking, watering). There ought to be some announcement, some scheduled time, etc. We had no idea that a crew would even be there at all, let alone 3 times on one day. Lucky we weren't chunky dunking at the time. We picked this house because of the privacy, it is screened from almost every angle. We would have been fine had there been a scheduled time for the crews to arrive, but to have them just appear through the gates and immediately into the pool area unannounced, is unacceptable. Most of the house windows face the pool and deck, and we preferred to leave the windows open for natural light as much as possible, but with workers in the yard, if one were changing clothes at the time, one would have been easily spotted by the workers. FYI, the VRBO website doesn't allow me to check the "not really" button next to the question "did you love your stay?". Only option is "I loved it." Please fire your programmers and hire some teenagers.

Great vacation home - shame about the Red Tide

This is a great beach home for a family of 4-6. You are just yds away from the beach (no more than 1 minute walk). The house has basic beach stuff such as cart, chairs and umbrella. The pool is great for relaxing or playing games and the outside seating area in the lanai and under shade was just right when you wanted to escape the sun. Kitchen is well equipped and the fridge/freezer was a good size for a 1 week stay. Master bedroom and bath were a good size and bathroom was clearly recently fitted and was modern. Lovely shower. Bathroom #2 is basic but just right for kids. House has some games and puzzles and a few DVDs to use if you didn’t bring your own. BBQ is a gas type and large enough to cook 4-6 burgers or steaks at a time. Pool area and house is very private as it is well landscaped around the house and a privacy fence at the front. Unfortunately for us, Southwest Florida was suffering from Red Tide while we were there. By our 4th day, the beach was not an option for anything due to all the dead fish on shore and floating in the water. It meant the whole island was much quieter than normal but without a beach, island trips or fishing your choices are limited. That’s not the fault of the house of course and so while our vacation was not 5 stars, the house was 5 stars and it helped make up for a disappointing week.

Great Location and Pool!

My wife and I stayed at MillerTime from May 19-26, 2018. We loved the location! It was on quiet side street and convenient to anywhere in Captiva and just steps away from an uncrowded beach. The house was very clean and nicely decorated inside. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking and there was also an outdoor gas grill with two tanks of propane. We enjoyed the screened porch in the back of the house which had a dining table and additional seating. The pool was great too and seemed like it was brand new! There were beach chairs and a cart to haul your stuff to the beach. There were a few minor issues but nothing big. The hot water in the master shower was only luke warm so we used the other bath for showers. I found the master bed a little soft for my back so we slept in the other bedroom where the bed was fine. The posting said the house had a stereo which it did not. We like to listen to music for happy hour and dinner so I drove to Ft Meyers to buy a portable speaker to connect to our phones. No big deal. Overall we really liked the property and it was very clean and also very private with all of the lush landscaping.

Great 3 bedroom house w pool and walking distance to captiva restaurants.

Had a great 1 week stay at Miller time with family. The screened pool is amazing and location near beach (4 houses away) and restaurants is perfect. The large master bedroom with updated private bathroom was a really nice treat. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was generally good but we would have appreciated sharper cooling knives - the current ones are mostly dull such that cutting anything takes a lot of work.

My favorite place to stay on Captiva...for a very long time!

The Millertime Villa is AWESOME! The location is fabulous...just a quick walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, and the marina. The house is meticulously clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with whatever you need. The new master bath is beautiful, and everyone even commented on how comfortable the beds were. We always especially enjoy the pool and enclosed outside sitting area. I have stayed at the Millertime Villa many times with various friends, and it is the only place any of us ever want to stay in on Captiva. I'm never at a loss for friends who want to join me! Couldn't recommend a nicer place!

A Perfect Vacation!

I cannot possibly express in words how perfect this vacation was, and specifically how perfect this particular house was. The house was the perfect size and all of the beds and the furniture were very comfortable. The living space felt bright and open and very homey. The Lanai was a huge area with a large table and a very cozy sitting area. Two overhead fans ensured that we could get a breeze going out there whenever we wanted, and we spent a large amount of our relaxing time in that area. The heated pool was a big hit with the kids- large enough for our whole group to get in together and swim/splash/play. There was also plenty of space around the pool to watch the kids swimming while enjoying a good book. The house is situated perfectly on the island- and different members of our group commented on how happy they were to be in this specific location on the island. We were in a very calm little grouping of streets so that the kids could safely walk/bike around. The library was right on the street and had a beautiful children's area with a craft table, a computer with games just for kids, and an assortment of pop up books and huge picture books, and every Dr. Seuss book that I could think of. A little trail next to the library parking lot led to a beautiful beach that was never very crowded during our stay. The walk to the beach took no more than two minutes. A 'main' street that ran up through the whole island had a little bike/pedestrian shoulder allowing us to walk or bike up a couple blocks to another street with shops, restaurants, and YOLO rentals. (it was also a quick walk via the beach). RCOtters had a particularly delightful breakfast with outdoor seating, and Keylime Bistro made a delicious afternoon frozen cocktail that could be enjoyed outdoors while listening to live music. I was expecting to find some beautiful shells, but I could never have imagined just how many beautiful shells we would find. I made an early expedition down the beach one day as the sun came up and would recommend that experience to any sheller. We could easily have enjoyed a second week with everything there is to see and do in this area! And if we are ever lucky enough to be able to return we will definitely be staying at Millertime once more!!

We rented through Kingfisher and everything went smoothly as they said it would. The house was perfect for our family 6. It is a well designed and furnished ranch style house that is very comfortable. The screened pool receives full sun most of the day and was a big hit with our kids. There is a new weber gas grill which is just outside of the pool. Also a outdoor shower to wash off the sand and the house is beautifully landscaped so you do not notice any neigbors. We used the washer and dryer everyday as well as the dishwasher. It is located perfectly located 2 minutes from the beach, 4 minutes to Jenssen's Marina and 5 minutes to the downtown area. The location could not be any better and it is a very quiet street. We had a great time at Millertime! The only v slight negative is that the master bath is small with a stand up shower and curtain. The other bath was bigger and had a tub. We hope to go back and we hope Millertime is available.

MillerTime is a delight. Immaculately maintained. Beautifully decorated. Well equipped. Great location (near everything Captiva restaurants, shops, and especially the beach).

My wife and I had a very relaxing time during our week at Miller Time. The home is clean, well-maintained and in a safe area. The private pool is great. I would recommend this location to anyone who wants a restful, quiet place for a vacation. I would also like to recognize Marcie from Kingfisher who met us upon arrival and was extremely helpful in checking on things and answering our questions. We would like to stay there again next year.

Couldn't have been nicer!

I love researching for unique and comfortable places to stay prior to our vacations. I came across "Miller time" on VRBO last year while looking for a nice house on Captiva That would sleep 4 adults and 3 children. My requirements were to be within walking distance to the restaurants and activities while also being secluded for privacy when we were ready to settle in. We also wanted close beach access, a pool, parking for two cars, two bathrooms, washer & dryer and a fully stocked kitchen. We were not disappointed!! Everything that is listed on VRBO is accurate and so much more! We had a short walk (2 blocks) each day to go to the many restaurant choices. Doc Ford's was our favorite (5 blocks), plus there is a Starbuck's right across the street. Key Lime Bistro was our second favorite. YOLO rentals had everything you need for water fun and there was even a water taxi right down the street that took us to Cabbage Key for lunch. If we come back to Captiva for a future vacation, we will look to "Miller time" for our stay, but honestly, with their flawless house and perfect location (and reasonable price) I would book early to make sure you lock this place in. P.S. If you are church goers, you will enjoy the quaint non-denominational service at the Chapel by the Sea just 4 doors down from the house.
