Hi,

My finace & I are thinking about a visit to Captiva in late February and we are looking for recommendations for lodging, etc.

TIA,

A few years back my wife and I spent two nights at The Plantation. It’s mostly condos that the owners allow the development to rent out. They had a nice restaurant on the property as I recall.

Nicely furnished and only 50 yds from the beach. It was during the summer, so the prices would be lower than what I’d expect in February.
