Insider Tip: Beating The Car Rental Lines At RSW

A Guide to South Seas Island Resort
This expansive resort takes up the northern half of Captiva Island. Villas, condos, cottages and even homes are featured throughout the property, brimming with greenery. Each unit is available to rent directly through the resort or private owner (via third-party websites). But you’ll want to be careful when you book; some units include full resort amenities with your reservation and others don’t. When booking your stay directly through the resort, you’ll have access to all the amenities. These include the trolley, restaurants, bars and pools. If you book a unit through a private owner or sites like Royal Shell, you won’t be able to use these amenities.
