As stated by some of the other reviewers, Jensen's is a two part resort...One part has cottages and the marina on the bay side, though none of the cottages are directly adjacent to the water, and is closer to "downtown" Captiva. The other part is a short walk southwest and is located on the Gulf (beach) side, aptly named Jensen's... More

What can we say. When you find paradise you just keep going back. That's how we feel about Jensen's On the Gulf. Three of the four times we've been there we've stayed in the Honeymoon suite. You pick your head off the pillow and look out and there is the gulf of Mexico luring you out to the beautiful beach.Huge... More

Loved our stay at Jensens on the gulf. We stayed in the po suite. It was SO tidy and fresh. The sheets we're good,the room was cutely decorated. We were very comfortable. The shower was good. No view but a lovely screened in porch. The wireless was spotty, we had it reset and still had a little troube. I'm sure... More

I was looking for a place to stay on the island for our honeymoon and didn't want to stay in any of the resorts. Jensen's fit the bill perfectly! Keith was extremely helpful on the phone while taking my reservation and was very accommodating with a few other requests. The Jensen brothers are a great crew and give you a... More

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...
