Owner-direct luxury one bedroom beachfront vacation rental condo at South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island, Florida. Enjoy instant and direct access to one of the finest beaches on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
Captiva is a tropical barrier island located off the Gulf Coast near Fort Myers, Florida that is connected to the western tip of its larger neighbor, Sanibel Island.
Getting to Sanibel and Captiva Islands is easy. Our Captiva beachfront vacation condo is a pleasant 55 minute drive from Southwest Florida International Airport (airport code RSW). From the airport take Daniels Parkway. If traveling by car on Interstate 75, take exit 231 to the right, which is Daniels Parkway. Follow the Sanibel and Captiva beach signs to Summerlin Road. Turn left onto Summerlin. Follow Summerlin to the Causeway, then on to Sanibel and Captiva Island.
Enjoy the scenic ride along Captiva Drive from Turner Beach past private beachfront estate homes and past the 4-way stop in Captiva Village, until you reach the gated entrance of South Seas Island Resort, formerly known as South Seas Plantation. Unlike Naples, Marco Island, Siesta Key, or most of the Barrier Islands on the Florida Gulf Coast, you won't find any high rises here. The Resort is a 330 acre beach lover's paradise that occupies the northern third of Captiva Island. Here you'll find 2.5 miles of unspoiled beach and spectacular day-ending sunsets right outside your condo door. While the beach on Captiva is open to the public, public beach access and parking is limited to Turner Beach at the South end of Captiva Island, near Sanibel, and the beach at the end of Captiva Drive. Therefore, the beach within South Seas Island Resort is not crowded.
Our condo is more than just a vacation rental. It is our personal beachfront vacation home that has been completely redecorated and refurnished. You'll find most of the accommodations of home, including a new, fully appointed and equipped kitchen for guests who wish to dine in, or who just want to enjoy the panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico from the dining area, living room, or screened lanai, while sipping their favorite beverage.
The living room entertainment center houses a 27" Sony TV and Denon stereo with a multi-disc DVD changer. It also contains a wide selection of music CD's, several movie DVD's, and a small library of books for your vacation enjoyment. Additionally, for a small fee, guests can obtain a library card at the Captiva public library and check out music CD's, DVD's and books.
The bedroom has new furniture, a comfortable king bed, Casablanca ceiling fan, and a second remote cable TV with DVD player. It also has a walk-in closet and adjoining walk-through bathroom. The queen sofa sleeper in the living room provides additional sleeping accommodations for two.
Captiva Island is a special vacation and holiday destination for discerning guests who value the Island's low-density, natural beauty, casual lifestyle, and quiet anonymity.
Many of the Island's best restaurants and quaint shops, are located in the "Village", a picturesque 3-block segment of Andy Rosse Lane, which is a short, romantic walk along the beach or a few blocks by road from South Seas' gated entrance. Unless you make the 15 minute drive to Sanibel or decide to take a day trip off Island, you may not get back in the car until departure. Just remember where you put the keys!
Whether your favorite Captiva vacation pastime is walking along the beach in search of shells, playing in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, surf fishing, dining and listening to music in Captiva Village, or just relaxing on the beach with a great book, a Captiva beach vacation will create memories for a lifetime.
If you are considering a Florida beach vacation, we'd love to share our condo with you. Please send us an email or give us a call to discuss how our one bedroom beachfront villa, Jewel of Captiva, may fit your needs.

Roger, Thank you for the use of the condo. The location was excellent and the condo was great. What a wonderful part of the world to have a holiday home! I haven't even got any constructive criticism - everything was perfect - restaurants (I think I've put a few pounds on thanks to RC Otters breakfasts!), beaches, waterskiing, sailing.......etc Thanks again Alistair & Emma
