Here is what a guest wrote on another rental site about their stay with us (please see our reviews on VRBO as well):

**** “This is a wonderful place! My Wife and I spent six nights relaxing in Captain Mark's home. The outdoor space is a dream, beautiful plants and a grill for a night spent cooking at home. The best part of the house is the privacy. We spent more nights than we planned enjoying the pool and screened in sitting area/bar/game room. This getaway is less than a 10 minute Lyft from all of the attractions, including Boston's on the Beach (our favorite). It's also a short trip to the Peanut Island ferry. Captain Mark provides it all, bikes, pool toys, dishes, cups, towels... You name it it's right there. Check-in (and check out) was a breeze. I promise you, we will be back! I am a review reader and let me tell you if you are looking for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home with lots of space and great amenities (including that amazing pool area), this is the place for you.” ****

The property boasts a surrounding 6'+ tall wood privacy fence. Tiki bar with 32" flat-screen TV under a 14' high screened patio. Hammock, chaise lounges, ring toss, dartboard...it just keeps getting better...

Lots of books, CDs and magazines on site. Outdoor speakers, weekly pool and yard maintenance, complete privacy, pool floats and toys, a 4 burner gas grill w/ side burner are all included. Sorry, one of the two pool lights is out of order at this time. But the backyard landscaping lights are looking good.

The coolest pool and house at a great price...how does it get any better than this? ;-}

Perfect family getaway
The pool and screened in patio is where we spent most of our time...it is a perfect backyard oasis to escape and relax. Captain Mark was great to work with and communications before and during our trip were very timely. We highly recommend staying here.

Boynton / Delray Beach FL - April 2022 Review.
VRBO rental property was an exceptional choice among several options in area. Mark, owner was very accessible throughout our stay and prior to visit. Amenities and features especially 5 star pool with spacious backyard was a bonus during our stay. Terrific neighborhood area, and short 4+ mile distance to beautiful downtown Delray Beach.

Not what I expected
I arrived 12/24 at 2 pm and left 12/25 at 10 am after informing the owner at 8pm on 12/24 that I was leaving due to cleanliness and deferred maintenance issues. This was a disappointing experience and difficult to find other lodging over Christmas and New Years in the popular Boynton/Delray area. On the positive side, this is first and so far the only experience where such drastic action has been warranted.

Holidays in Florida with family
We had a enjoyable stay at this property! We had a couple of hitches but the owner was very responsive and took care of the issues . The house is well kept - bit dated. The backyard is a tropical oasis! Can’t rave enough about the lovely pool, screened in porch, etc. The house is also very well stocked. It is located at the border of DelRay beach and Boynton beach. It is an excellent location. Easily accessible to the beach and downtown DelRay. Many nice restaurants to enjoy on Atlantic Avenue. House is perfect for a family of four.

About the host

Hosted by Captain Mark

Host profile image
Long time Captain of charter sailing catamarans out of Thailand and the Caribbean while you live in my house of 24 years. While you enjoy Casa de la Capitan I will be traveling and working in SE Asia or the Caribbean until I return home someday... Book a catamaran sailboat Trip with me sometime!

Why they chose this property

i designed and built backyards/pools prior to putting the house on the rental market and going sailing, and this was my first creation. There is nothing like it in the area. Brand new vinyl wood flooring, queen mattress and wall paint in the bedrooms! See our reviews.

What makes this property unique

The property manager is local so all your needs are fulfilled right away.
Best heated pool, with bar stools in the deep end, in town. Lots of privacy, vibrant colors, art, and all you need to stay, we provide beach towels, paper towels, dish and laundry soap, toilet paper, cleaning supplies and vacuum, etc. so you don't have to run out for basic stuff.
Quiet street, with a turtle filled nature walk two blocks east -- Seacrest Scrub Nature Park, and there is an around Lake Ida bike and running 2-mile loop, and we are 2.5 miles north of vibrant Atlantic Ave at the end of Swinton Ave. just over the Delray Beach borderline.
You get what you pay for, and you get a lot here at Casa de la Capitan! Peace.
