About this property

3BR Cottage with Private Pool & Spa, Steps to the Beach

🌺 Cute as a button and absolutely irresistible — meet Captiva Cutie, a fully renovated cottage-style vacation home that will steal your heart from the moment you arrive! 🏡 Nestled on the private, tropical paradise of Laika Lane in the desirable Captiva Village area, this charming one-floor home is just steps from the island's famous white-sand beach and a short stroll from Captiva's best restaurants and boutique shops.

☀️ Captiva Cutie lives up to its name in every way. The lush tropical landscaping of whispering pines and dense palms creates a quiet, secluded setting that feels worlds away from everyday life — yet you're right in the middle of all the action Captiva has to offer. Walk to the beach in minutes, cycle to dinner at the Mucky Duck, or simply settle into the gorgeous screened lanai and let the island soundtrack of birdsong and rustling palms carry you away. 🦅

🛏️ Three thoughtfully designed bedrooms accommodate up to 6 guests with ease. The primary bedroom features a queen bed, vaulted ceiling, and en-suite bathroom with a large tiled shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a vaulted ceiling and spacious dressing area. The third bedroom overlooks the pool and features twin beds — perfect for kids or additional guests. Two full bathrooms serve the home with a tub/shower combo in the guest bath.

🏊 Step outside and discover the private heated pool with spa tub — a sun-drenched retreat surrounded by vibrant tropical plantings. 🌴 A child safety fence is available upon request, making Captiva Cutie an especially family-friendly choice. The screened lanai wraps around the kitchen, living room, pool, spa, and sun patio in one seamless indoor-outdoor flow — it's the best of Florida living.

🍳 The well-equipped kitchen makes morning cooking a breeze. Plenty of beach towels, linens, and a stackable washer/dryer are included. WiFi keeps you connected when you want to be, and beach chairs and umbrellas mean you're set the moment you hit the sand. 🌊

This one-floor layout makes Captiva Cutie exceptionally practical for families — no stairs to worry about, and everything flows naturally. The compact, low-maintenance floor plan means more time relaxing and less time managing the house.

A non-smoking property, Captiva Cutie was fully renovated, remodeled, and redecorated — so everything is fresh, clean, and move-in perfect from day one of your vacation.

Back to Captiva

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stay on Captiva once a year, and had skipped the last 2 due to the Pandemic. It is our favorite place and the Village makes it work it. Captiva Cutie is a great house. A little small for 6 adults, but it worked really well. The only hiccup was the electrical in the spare bathroom and the refrigerator. The breakers kept tripping and the management company ended up at the house daily. We had to buy a camping light to use in the bathroom. The refrigerator was able to be plugged into another outlet, but the bathroom never had lighting the entire week. I hope they get that fixed.

Captiva Cutie was "all that!"

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was nicely furnished. However, the front door would not lock the entire stay and the latch going out to the pool did not work so we worried about our 1-year-old and 4-year-old! Evidently the owner of the home has a camera system right outside facing the door and angled to see the screened in porch door (which is completely normal and I would do the same if my home)and he flipped out at the amount of luggage being carried in and then we had also rented a second house that held 20 people a few houses away and a group of the family stopped by to say "Hi" and he immediately called the realtor and flipped out. He saw too many people...even though we were there less than 10 minutes. The realtor called me like at 9:30 p.m. not happy with us.

Captiva Cutie is my favorite getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a perfect home for a couple or small family. Proximity to the beach & Captiva businesses is awesome. Private pool is well maintained (not deep - but perfect for relaxing). Only thing that would make this even better is a King size bed in the master suite rather than a queen. For extended stays, it was a bit tight when used to sleeping in a king with my mate. We've already booked for next year again and have increased our stay to two weeks!

Captiva Cutie was a great place to stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: If we are ever able to take a week vacation to Captiva again, this home will be our first choice. For just the two of us, it was PERFECT. Loved having a small private pool and access to the beach so close. Bed was comfortable (would have loved a King over Queen, but we still skept good). A list of what items are available on the property would have been helpful in advance. We bought some beach umbrellas and chairs not knowing there were some available. The house overall was very clean... the only exception was the bathtub. I prefer baths, but one look at the broken jetted tub and the yucky build up around the unused jets kept me taking showers instead. We did contact maintenance once. The pool edges started to get a green algae build up after 3 days. It only gets cleaned on Saturdays and so the last half of our stay, the pool was iffy.Overall, I would highly recommend this rental despite these 2 issues.Thanks to the owners for making this little piece of heaven available for rental.

Great for Romantic Get Away

One of the cleanest Captiva properties I’ve stayed in. Well equipped. Very secluded because of the dense foliage around the property. Also good for a small family. Safety fence available for the pool.

Perfect family vacation

This property was perfectly for our family. Located just a few steps to beach, restaurants and shops. Exactly as described. We had several drop in visits from maintenance crew fixing things that had been broken from the tropical storm a week before our stay. All were so kind and respectful of our time. We would absolutely stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We choose Captiva Cutie for the location but got so much more! This was a girls trip and we all like to walk. We were 2 minutes to the beach and maybe 5 minutes to the village. The village had everything we needed for supplies and several great restaurants. Our house was clean, comfortable and very private. Kitchen was totally stocked. Our beach location was perfect for taking a cup of coffee down in the morning, hanging out in the afternoon and going for sunsets. Plan to book again for next year!

2020 Dream Shelling Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I must say that this cottage is so reminiscent of the 20's & 30's but with a flair for island life. Open, refreshing colors and updated interior. Just a short walk to the pristine beaches with shells galore and plenty of room for social distancing. Private beach. What we like best was the flora and fauna with all the vegetation surrounding this home made it appear that there was no one else around. Shuts out the noise and only the beauty of nature. The home was clean and crisp and it had a fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of seating room for dining inside and out on the covered lanai and pool area. My favorite spot was the hot tub. I WANT TO MENTION the beds were so comfy and the bedding was first class, I'm guessing 1000 thread count sheets after your days on the beach in the sun was glorious.We had a few minor glitches where we contacted management but they were friendly & helpful even after hours. Thank you so much for making our vacation stay perfect.
