About this property

Oceanfront Luxury Home with Secluded Private Beach



The Sandcastle is a completely updated beachfront home that has been owned by a single family for over 40 years, and is now available for renters too! The Sandcastle is located on some of the most prized beachfront property on the entire island, featuring some of the BEST FISHING, SHELLING, AND SUNSET-WATCHING in southwest Florida. Step outside your door and walk ten feet of white sandy beach to the water. This location is so private that you may go an entire day without seeing anyone else on your beach. Enjoy the pristine waters and exceptional fishing, all to yourself!

The house was designed to take full advantage of the beautiful beachfront location. A huge sundeck expands the length of the home, and is ideal for enjoying your morning coffee while watching schools of breaching dolphin, meandering manatees, and osprey diving to catch fish. The beautiful custom kitchen features an open design and is fully equipped, including plenty of dishes and equipment to make and enjoy homemade dinners. The living room features a pull-out queen sofa bed, and a huge flat screen TV with satellite and DVD player. The master bedroom features an unbelievably comfortable king-size bed, full bathroom, flat screen TV, and dresser. The second bedroom has two twin beds, perfect for the kids, with a flat screen TV and dresser. We also have baby items like a Pack n' Play, highchair, and toys. There are two full bathrooms with all-new linens. The decor is playful, modern and cozy, perfect to make you feel at home during your beach vacation. Bicycles, tennis rackets, board games, puzzles, and other essentials are included in your home. If you need something we don't have, a simple call to the property manager will fix that!

Beautiful North Captiva Island (also called Upper Captiva), is one of Florida's best-kept vacation secrets! The island remains COMPLETELY NATURAL, without paved roads, cars, or crowds of tourists. Our island's sandy roads are traveled by bicycle and golf cart, and North Captiva can only be reached by boat or private aircraft. Our property manager will help you arrange transportation (including a water taxi from the mainland), groceries, and how to fully enjoy the island. There are three restaurants and two gift boutiques on island. Kayaks, paddleboards, and watercraft are available for rent, and fishing expeditions can be arranged for full or half day adventures! A golf cart can also be rented for your time on the island through us, but is not included with the rental. The secluded island is not for everyone - only for those who desire a natural getaway with time to relax. Almost half of the island is dedicated to a state nature preserve. Nearly four miles of white sand beaches await you, without the hustle and bustle of many other vacation destinations. We hold a deep respect for natural beauty and wildlife of the island - this is truly one of the few places on the planet where the delicate balance between man and nature has withstood the test of time. We would love to share this unique place with you.

Sandcastle fun
The property was spectacular. Property managers could not have been more nice or helpful. We learned some about what to bring to the island and next time we will be ready.

Location, Location, Location!!!
If you want to be on an island, with only golf carts allowed and a beautiful ocean outside your door with amazing views, this is the place! We took our 4 kids for a week long family vacation and we had an amazing time. Michael was amazing to work with. Connected us with airport and water taxi services and picked us up at the dock. Took a guided half-day fishing trip and got some great snapper and trout. Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful property
We had an amazing time here! Michael and his wife met us at the dock and helped bring al our luggage back to the house. We had used the local grocery delivery service (north captiva groceries) recommended by Michael and everything was unpacked in the kitchen when we walked in. The house was perfect, amazing views, very comfortable, clean. Beautiful sunsets from the porch, private beach, manatees, dolphins etc. the kids had an amazing time. We rented a golf cart from Michael and we highly recommend that. The island was awesome to explore and we can’t wait to come back! The house is well equipped with beach chairs, beach toys for the kids, lounge chairs etc. this property will not disappoint!

Beautiful Beachfront
We loved our time at The Sandcastle. We had a beautiful private beachfront where we saw dolphins, stingrays, and swam with manatees daily. The home was well stocked as described. We were able to kick back and enjoy the salt water and sunshine with our kiddos. Thanks for a great stay Mike and Jessica!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Melvin (property manager)

Host profile image
Our family has owned homes on North Captiva Island since the 1980s, when only a few homes were on the island and we had no power. FOUR generations of our family have grown up in this tropical paradise. We feel very spoiled to have enjoyed this pristine island without throngs of tourists or cars, and we are happy to share it with new visitors!

Why they chose this property

The Sandcastle has been in our family for decades. The home is located on some of the most prized property on the entire island - a wide beach, romantic sunset views, and very productive fishing are right outside the front door!

What makes this property unique

The best benefit of the Sandcastle is its privacy and views! This island is for those who can enjoy true relaxation - fishing, shelling, wildlife viewing (including porpoise, manatees, loggerhead turtles, and seabirds), bicycling, sunning, and exploring the island's wildlife preserve.
