Vacation Rentals by Owner

The Perfect Spot

We decided to do something a little different for the holidays this year. Rent a house on the beach. After days of searching we found the property. We contacted the owner who immediately got back to us. We had a signed contract within 2 weeks. We were on our way and set for Christmas in August. The pictures of the house and location looked beautiful (as you can see). Fast forward to December, 9 of us arrived to meet at Fort Myers airport to make our way to the house. The drive to the charter boat place is about 45 minutes. We had a reservation for a chartered boat to take us to the island. All thanks to the homeowner who ensured we had all the info needed to get to our destination. After a 20 minutes boat ride with our luggage and groceries in tow we arrived on the island. There are truly NO CARS on the island. It was immediately paradise and just what we wanted. Time to get into the house. We entered and were just blown away at how gorgeous it was. Open and spacious with views of the water from all over the house. We quickly unloaded and walked over to the beach. Amazing. We were thrilled to know that we were just starting a fabulous week long stay!

Lyn and Peter, Thank you so much for the use of your house. It is AWESOME and beautiful! My family enjoyed the "Big Beach House" and everything that NCIC offered. Our 2 sons loved the beach, turtles, dolphins, pool, boating and most popular, the shelling. Thank you again for the wonderful time we had! The Sullivans Dallas, TX

The best we have ever had on North Captiva. This is our 3rd year and we have loved staying at SeaBreeze. We all agree it is the best "fit" for our family. You hav e a nlovely welcoming home -- thank you so much for sharing it with us. Noone of us want to leave! We will think of this bit of Paradise often over the next year (especially during the cold Wisconsin winter!) We are looking forward to our 4th trip back to this wonderful island.

My family had the most wonderful time at Seabreeze. We stayed there for a week in August and could not have asked for a better vacation. We loved the house and the kids loved the beach access right across the road. We all loved the golf carts and we never saw more than 4 or 5 people on the beach! It was great! We had the pool all to ourselves for most of the vacation. Thanks Lyn for a great vacation! We'll definitely be back next summer.

I wanted to let you know how much Bob and I enjoyed our vacation in your home. You have a beautiful home. It was fun to feel a little isolated from the hustle and bustle of every day life. I would gladly recommend your place to anyone who inquires. Thanks again!

We had such a wonderful time on the island and enjoying your house this year. The weather was amazing, everyone was so relaxed and fun, and it truly was one of the most memorable vacations we can remember! Our boys spent days building sandcastles and collecting coquinas (yes, we made soup!) and we made a daily visit to the Pirate's Stash ice cream shop. We caught shark and trout and snapper and made several meals from our catch. We even boated down to the Green Flash to have a fun lunch. Thank you so much for making your house available. I asked the family if they would want to go back again and they gave it a resounding YES!!!! Robin

Wanted to let you know that we are having a wonderful time. The boys are begging to stay longer...We wanted to know if SeaBreeze was available (next week). Thanks again...this has been a terrific vacation. Tomorrow we have a fishing trip planned for the boys and another afternoon of looking for sharks teeth. We are off to walk the beach in search of shells/sand dollars/sharks teeth. Thanks again, Jerri

We had a really nice time in North Captiva. The house worked out great and the beach was great. The osprey were also constant entertainment. They left us a nice dead fish by the front door as a gift. We also really enjoyed all of the tortoises. Thanks again, Matt

Just wanted to let you know that as we leave tomorrow AM, Lucy and Ricky (our Osprey pair) are still dutiful expectant parents, but no hatchlings yet. Ricky still brings her fish like clockwork and they share duties. Thanks again for allowing us to share your home--We've had a wonderful time! Best regards, Mike

It was a wonderful place for our Annual Family Christmas reunion. The weather was perfect. The house was perfect and we especially were entertained by Lucy and her mate. (Our osprey couple.) Wish we could have stayed to meet the babies. North Captiva is a jewel -- we hope to return!

We had a wonderful time on the island and I must say, if I could have had my bed sent down to me I could have lived there forever! Thank you for the hospitality, your home is beautiful. It was the most relaxing vacation, including Hawaii last year, that I have ever had and would do it again in an instant!!!!! Thanks sooo much! Monica
