Why the Owner Chose North Captiva Island
North Captiva is a unique place in this world of hustle. No cars no street lights, 3.5 miles of natural beach all on a little tropical island North Captiva! We fell in love with it and I know you will too!

The house is a beautiful home, and comfortable. The downstairs bbq area and pool are great, esp. with kids after a long day of kayaking, fishing or just hanging out at the beach. Went hiking at the beach and collected beautiful shells. We rented a boat and went to Cabbage Key for lunch and stopped at another island to swim and collect sand dollars. The owner was very personable, and the maintenance man was a great guy. The bikes were a little run down. The turn around seems short, i don't think it's enough time to accurately document any problems from other vacationers. If you can shop on the mainland, do it. Some of the hotels will shuttle you back and fourth to Costco and Publix before you come to island. The store on the Island does not offer much and can be pricey. It's nice to know that the Island has no cars, only golf carts. For the most part it was a great vacation spot and have already told my friends and perfect strangers about the beautiful home and Island. Glad i found it. Thanks !!! P.S....Bring LOTS of bug spray !!!!!!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
