About this property

Beachfront 2BR Cottage with King Suite, & Gulf Views

🌊 Feather your nest with sun, sand, and saltwater — welcome to Beach Nest, a charming island-style beachfront cottage nestled directly on the Gulf of Mexico on Wiles Drive, Captiva Island. 🏖️ This adorable cottage with fabulous views is your personal hideaway on one of Florida's most beloved barrier islands, where the living is easy, the sunsets are legendary, and the beach is always just steps away.

🏡 Beach Nest is the ideal escape for couples or small families of four. Two beautiful bedrooms — a king and a queen — are cozy and comfortable, and two full bathrooms ensure everyone has what they need after a day of sun and surf. ☀️ The island-style décor wraps you in that relaxed, breezy coastal charm the moment you walk through the door.

🐾 Traveling with a furry companion? Beach Nest welcomes pets with a $500 per pet, per week non-refundable deposit. Bring your four-legged family member along — there's no better place for a dog to run and splash than a Captiva Island beachfront! 🐶

🍳 A fully equipped kitchen with a Keurig, toaster, and cookware makes it easy to start your mornings right before heading to the sand. A gas grill is perfect for seaside barbecues as the Gulf glows orange in the evening light. 🌅 Central A/C, WiFi, linens, beach towels, and a washer/dryer are all included. Beach chairs and umbrellas are provided — because you shouldn't have to pack a single extra thing.

🌴 Wiles Drive sits close to the heart of Captiva Village, where you'll discover a delightful collection of restaurants, boutique shops, art galleries, and island adventures. From fresh Gulf seafood dinners to kayak rentals and shell collecting walks at dawn, Captiva has a rhythm all its own — and Beach Nest puts you right at its center. 🦅

The 3-night minimum stay makes Beach Nest an excellent choice for a romantic long-weekend escape or a quick family beach trip. Whether you're watching dolphins play in the surf from the beachfront grounds, toasting the sunset with a cold drink in hand, or just reading a book while the kids build sandcastles, Beach Nest offers the kind of simple, pure beach joy that's impossible to find anywhere else. 🌺

This is beachfront living in its most charming form — intimate, relaxed, and completely magical. From the moment you unlock the door and feel the ocean breeze drift through, you'll wonder why you ever stayed anywhere else.

Beach nest

This is a beautifully updated property and my family really enjoyed our stay. It is very spacious home even though it only has 2 bedrooms and beautifully decorated. There was a discrepancy between the online description and the actual bed in the 2nd bedroom but the rental agency wa. Dry responsive and it all worked out fine. The kitchen has all top of the line appliances as well as the washer and dryer in the huge laundry room. The throw rugs were a little dirty on arrival but I was able to wash them and requested a vacuum to clean the large LR rug. The screened porch is lovely and rooftop patio allows views of both the beach and the bay. It’s not actual waterfront property but only 1 house away. There was construction taking place at one of the houses on the property (there are 3) but there was minimal noise or disruption. And one of the guys was very kind when I took a tumble over a cable on the path to the beach. I would love to stay here again and could see this being a great place for a long rental as well. Thank you very much!

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: Beach Nest is a must do experience! The property is beautifully appointed and located steps away from the beach. The large screened in porch is the perfect place for morning coffee or lounging with a good book. Both bedrooms are lovely, and so are the spacious en suites. Each morning we strolled down the private shell-lined path to the beach. The gentle roll of waves welcomed us as we either floated or searched for shells in the crystal clear water. Restaurants and shops are within easy walking distance. After a delicious meal, take advantage of this property’s crows nest as it presents a panoramic view of the beach and is a great place to view sunsets! Beach Nest, we miss you already!

Beautiful Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When I put a deposit on this home, the pictures on the website were of an older home. We were so surprised and happy to find that the entire house has been renovated! Now it's a beautiful, airy beach house with modern amenities and high end appliances. Situated with one house between it and the beach it is built with living space above the height of the beachfront home so there are still views of the water from the porch. There is also a sitting area on the roof with views of the ocean and bay. This home shares a garden/outdoor dining area with two other homes. We enjoyed our time in this lovely home!
