Our family of six, including our parents and kids loved the house we rented on the beach (Gulf side). It had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an outdoor shower. After a two week trip driving down the coast from NC and having just spent three days at Disneyworld, this home on the beach was the perfect way to end our... More

If you have the right attitude, this is the place for you. It is "old Florida", unspoiled with a rich tropical and historic tradition. The building we were in was the original Post Office. There is info and old pictures at the library (next street over). The room was perfect and we would love to have coffee every morning on... More

This place was amazing. My husband and I stayed in the PO Box for our honeymoon and it was perfect. The room was comfortable and the bedding was nice. The bathroom was spacious and the room had lots of space. It has a mini fridge and microwave which was perfect for our stay. The staff was so accomodating. The beach... More

My husband and I first went to Jensens when we first started dating...we loved it so much we have been back many times since. We got engaged in Captiva because we loved it so so much. Jensens just gives you that welcome to island...make yourself at home feel. If they ever had a room open...they would upgrade us to a... More

We needed a last minute room and Jensen's was able to accommodate us. We stayed in the PO Box room and it was the most beautiful, relaxing room that I have ever seen. It had all of the necessary amenities...refrigerator, microwave, TV, dishes, fluffy towels, beach chairs, etc. The room was decorated in a Waverly pattern with wonderful windows and... More

This is what Jensen's is NOT. It is not a resort. There is no restaurant, room service, breakfast or even daily maid service. There's even no shampoo! Here's what Jensen's IS. 50 feet (I walked it) to the sandy Gulf of Mexico. Because all other accommodations in Captiva are ACROSS THE STREET facing the Intercoastal Waterway, expect to pay $400...

This was our first vacation as a family in 10 years and we had an incredible time together! Jensen's on the Gulf was purrrfect. We loved having our privacy, no pool, quiet beach, our own kitchen and ease in location. We look forward to staying at Jensen's again and again. Love! More

We travel to Sanibel/Captiva every July, but this was our first overnight stay on Captiva. We're hooked! Jensen's on the Gulf was wonderful! We stayed 5 nights in room #4, the "Honeymoon Suite". It was perfect for two; bedroom with a spectacular view of the ocean, bathroom with large shower, and side alcove with microwave, small refrigerator, and a multipurpose... More

There is not enough words to describe this spot. To begin with Captiva Island is a paradise within itself but Jensen on the Gulf is a "Gem". My husband and I stayed in the Post Office Suite. What a Suite! Very chic with lots of romance. We loved it. Right on the beach and quiet. This suite is to die... More
