The Captiva Vacation Condo is your personal home base in the middle of one of the finest world-class resorts on earth. Your Captiva Condo getaway isn't jammed into the back of a maze of ticki-tacki cottages. Captiva's legendary white beaches are just a few feet away. (Editor's Note: This is for all the people who ask even after reading this. THIS IS A BEACHFRONT CONDO. THIS CONDO IS ON THE BEACH.)
Nothing quite compares to having your own private beachfront condo in an exclusive resort. It's the best of both worlds: Privacy, convenience, outstanding amenities and plenty of room to comfortably accommodate up to 8 people.
LIVING ROOM: The vacation condo has been completely rebuilt and remodeled — and that includes the living room. The sliding glass door opens up to Captiva beach in the front. Naturally you have central air conditioning, cable television, radio, telephone and computer hookup. The comfortable couch has a hideaway bed for guests or children, and a separate Twin Pullout provides sleeping for 2 more.
KITCHEN/DINING AREA: The kitchen is modern and nearly all appliances are brand new. Features good lighting and granite countertops, there's plenty of room for food storage and preparation. The well-lit dining area comfortably seats six. The kitchen also includes all dishware and utensils, new dishwasher, new sinks, coffee maker, oven, microwave oven and more.
MASTER BEDROOM AND MASTER BATH: The Master Bedroom offers a comfortable king-sized bed. It has a full standing dresser and armoire for plenty space to store clothing and personal effects, plus a double-door closet and a deluxe, remote-controlled cable television. The adjoining private bathroom has a full tub and shower, dressing chair and other features.
GUEST BEDROOM AND GUEST BATH: The Guest Bedroom offers two twin-sized beds. It also has a full standing dresser and armoire for plenty space to store clothing and personal effects, plus a double-door closet and a deluxe, remote-controlled cable television. The nearby Guest Bathroom also features a full tub and shower, dressing chair and other amenities.
LANAI/SCREENED PORCH: The Lanai faces west towards the Gulf of Mexico for some of the most spectacular sunsets on earth. It has a triple-door sliding glass entryway and is perfect for a romantic dinner, casual drinks or even a quiet, private, scenic breakfast. Exotic birds frequently wander about the courtyard past your lanai. The natural ocean breeze helps keeps it cool.
AMENITIES: You have a completely-furnished villa with a fully equipped kitchen, screened lanai for insect-free comfort, telephone, stereo, and a washer/dryer in the building. There's even a video and book library. Beach towels and equipment are provided right in the building (our beach equipment storage room is located directly below the condo with chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc). A snack boat anchors most days right at the beach. Free tennis courts are steps away and free shuttle trolleys will take you into Captiva Village. Rental bikes can be delivered right to your door.
Your waterfront view of the Gulf of Mexico is spectacular. Captiva's beach is front and center for sunset, every single night. The views you will see from your vacation condo are unparalleled photographic masterpieces. Stay indoors, stroll along the pier, explore the breakwall, or just stroll into town. But be sure to get out on the water — the out-islands are just a short boat ride away, and sailing, fishing, shelling, parasailing and kayaking are all available.
Captiva Island is joined to Sanibel Island, beloved for its beautiful white-sand beaches, an abundance of seashells and the huge variety of wildlife that calls this Gulf coast island home. Long a vacation haven for families as well as romantics, Sanibel Island offers the slow pace of island life with just enough fabulous amenities to make it unparalleled.
The "Ding" Darling Wildlife Refuge on nearby Sanibel Island is probably the most well known wildlife destination in the area. Captiva is visited by hundreds of bird species, some nesting on the shoreline. Protected birds like Plovers have been spotted nesting in North Captiva. Other birds include Bald Eagles, Osprey, Terns of many varieties, Roseate Spoonbills, Wood Storks, Kingfishers, Black Oystercatchers, Skimmers, Brown Pelican, White Pelican, Great Blue Herons and many more.
Manatees can also be found in these waters. In fact, Pine Island Sound is a traditional stomping ground for Florida's manatees. Manatees spend most of their time feeding and resting. They graze for food along rivers, coastal bottoms and the water's surface. Manatees have been known to hold their breath for as long as 20 minutes, but usually surface every 5 minutes to breathe.
Friendly dolphins abound in the seas surrounding Captiva. They regularly swim right up to the docks. A Dolphin Watch and Wildlife Cruise is the perfect family outing. There is nothing more exciting than to see these beautiful marine mammals jump in the boat's wake. Visit secluded Florida state park beaches that are only accessible by boat. Most tours feature food, drinks, even live music.
Captiva was recently rated #1 in Romantic Beaches in the U.S. ("The Best Beaches" May 2004). With an enchanting trolley service running the length of Captiva Island, you're never more than a few minutes from your destinations. Fine dining, entertainment, shopping, personal services, exciting adventures and the experiences of a lifetime await.
The Captiva Vacation Condo is available year round. Off-season and monthly discounts are offered, as well as special promotional and group rates. References are available upon request. Please read some of the testimonials we've received from past visitors. |
