Luxury and comfort combine with gorgeous views at The Blue Parrot, a truly tropical-style home that features direct access to miles of unspoiled beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Located just 300 feet from the beach, the house is light and airy throughout, from each of its 4 bedrooms to the spacious family room whose disappearing glass sliders open onto a 20’ screened lanai deck with a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Mexico. Ascend the spiral staircase to the large roof deck with its panoramic views of the entire island. You will not miss a single sunset or sunrise at the Blue Parrot. Evening and morning skies offer an ever-changing palette of color to create unforgettable vistas of Cayo Costa, Captiva Pass, the Bay, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Blue Parrot (built in 2003) is an ideal vacation rental for a large family or two families vacationing together. On the first level this newly remodeled house (2005) has its own private hot tub spa and deck set among meticulously landscaped tropical grounds. Relax on the adjacent shaded lower level deck, with comfortable seating and a Barbeque area.
Enter the house on the second or bedroom level. Blue Parrot is set high so that every room features wonderful light and pretty views. Here the master suite has a king size bed, its own bath, satellite TV, and a private screened deck, furnished to create a perfect private nook. The second bedroom has a queen bed with hall bath adjacent and its own TV/DVD. With a queen bed and its own TV/DVD, the third bedroom is ideal for a second couple. The fourth bedroom has twin beds (and a pull-out trundle). Our deluxe mattresses and bedding were carefully chosen to give us (and you!) a wonderful night’s sleep.
On the third level, the great room with vaulted ceiling, many windows, and disappearing sliding glass doors steps out to the 20-foot screened deck with outdoor seating for 8, and gorgeous views of the Gulf of Mexico, the Beach, and nightly sunsets. The kitchen of Blue Parrot is equipped with every convenience and features Silestone counters and a bar, with seating for 4. Nearby is a dining table accommodating 8.
Our entertainment area and living room feature high-speed internet access/wireless internet, large-screen color TV with satellite reception and DVD/VCR, as well as stereo system with CD and tape player, books and games. Looking out on the Gulf of Mexico, this lovely room features lots of natural light and mood lighting for evenings. The comfortable sofas are an inviting place to gather to watch the spectacle of the setting sun, read one of the books from our library, or watch your favorite show.
Finally, ascend the spiral staircase to the large roof deck with panoramic views of the island and water. The roof deck is a perfect spot to sun, bird-watch, or relax, with views of the entire island, Cayo Costa, Captiva Pass and the Bay. Bring your coffee up in the early morning for a sunrise you will never forget.
As guests of the Blue Parrot, you will have your own private golf cart with which to explore miles of sandy paths. The Blue Parrot is equipped with bicycles, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas exclusively for our guests' use. All Blue Parrot guests are also entitled to unlimited use of the North Captiva Island Club’s facilities: 2 pools, tennis courts, playground, fitness center and steam room, and private dining facility.
Best of all, our home is cared for by a private property manager who maintains the home and grounds with meticulous attention, greets and transports our guests to and from the dock, and acquaints them with all of the Blue Parrot’s features. Our caretaker has an intimate knowledge of North Captiva Island and of the attractions and features of nearby islands and the mainland--and is dive savvy as well! He will assist you in re-supplying your groceries if needed, arrange for fishing charters or other day trips, and answer (or get the answer!) to any questions you have.Guests of The Blue Parrot are assured of the best service available on North Captiva Island.
A unique blend of tranquility and luxury awaits you at The Blue Parrot.
