By Allen Wright

Tropical island, balmy breezes, romantic sunsets are an everyday occurrence on Captiva Island in southwest Florida. This tiny island received its name from a pirate, Captain Jose Gaspar. Local legend tells the story of this captain who had female prisoners captive on the island for ransom. Bordering the Gulf of Mexico, this island is one where many people visit and stay in one of the many Captiva Island rentals such as a villa or private home.

When deciding where to vacation, a traveler needs to think about the accommodations that would be best for his party. There are many options available such as hotel, motel or rental. There are many rewards to renting a private home or villa.

One perk is to reside on the beach. Talk about gorgeous views, the sound and smell of the surf and all of this right at your fingertips. Being in a rental home, gives you privacy while having all the amenities of home. Typically there are no limits on the amount of guests as long as the number is reasonable. Rental homes can accommodate larger families.

Renting from a private owner is always an option. Conducting an internet search is a way to find properties that are for seasonal rentals. If deciding to rent a private residence, make sure to examine the contract carefully. Ask any questions that you may think of. Keep copies of all paperwork. Have the owner conduct a walk through with you of the residence to note any deficiencies prior to taking possession for the week.

Finding a rental through a realtor is not very hard. Many realtors have listings of properties that are for weekly or monthly rentals. Decide ahead of time if you would like to be on the beach or if there are any other specifics that you would want in a home. Discuss with the realtor and see if they can accommodate. If they do not have anything to offer, move on to another realtor. Your vacation paradise is there. It just may take a little time to find the right place.

Remember to ask the realtor any questions you may have. Read over contracts carefully. Do a walk thru with the realtor and note any problems. These deals are typically easy to close.
