Luxury 5BR Gulf-View Home with Private Pool, Spa & High-Tech Entertainment

🌅 They say heaven is a place on earth — and on Captiva Island, it has an address. Welcome to Almost Heaven, a newly decorated luxury vacation home that sits just one house away from the magnificent Gulf of Mexico beach. 🌊 From the primary suite's sunny balcony, you can gaze out at the shimmering turquoise water and feel the warm Gulf breeze — this is the Captiva experience at its absolute finest.

🏡 Almost Heaven is spacious, professionally decorated in a luxurious yet sensible style, and perfectly positioned in the Captiva Village area. You're just a minute's walk from the renowned Green Flash Restaurant and mere steps from the island's best boutiques, galleries, and waterfront activities. The beach? One house away. Pure bliss. ☀️

🛏️ This stunning home features five generously sized bedrooms designed to accommodate large groups in comfort and style. The primary suite is a grand oasis featuring a premium king bed, a large private west-facing balcony overlooking the Gulf, a jet tub under the window, and an oversized walk-in shower with dual spray systems. Additional bedrooms include two king suites, a queen bedroom, and a bunk room that sleeps six — perfect for the kids or extra guests. 🏖️

🏊 Outside, a beautiful heated pool with a cascading waterfall from the in-ground spa tub awaits. Lush tropical landscaping creates the ultimate private retreat. Sip your morning coffee ☕ on the pool patio as ospreys circle overhead and palm fronds sway in the ocean breeze.

🎮 Almost Heaven stands apart for its impressive technology. The home features an Xbox gaming system with a massive HDTV in the great room, Blu-Ray players, high-definition TVs in multiple rooms (even the bunk room has an enormous HDTV), and unlimited US telephone plus WiFi throughout. Entertainment for every age and every mood. 🎬

🍴 The gourmet kitchen is, as guests say, "to die for" — recently upgraded with premium fixtures, additional lighting, built-in microwave, and refined cabinetry. Whether you're cooking a full family breakfast or just grabbing a Keurig coffee before heading to the beach, this kitchen delivers.
Linens, beach towels, washer/dryer, and beach chairs and umbrellas are all included. Almost Heaven is a non-smoking property, ensuring a pristine and welcoming environment for all guests.

This was our families vacation house for my daughters wedding at Tween Waters. The house was fabulous and exactly as pictured. It's conveniently located just up the road from Tween Waters where the wedding and reception was held. Everyone enjoyed all the common areas inside and outside while having their own space to retreat to when they desired. The elevator made moving groceries and luggage to other floors easy. The vegetation and landscaping made the entire experience seem tropical and secluded. Beach access was very convenient; up the driveway and across Captiva Drive. The ocean views and sunsets from various patios and balconies were beautiful. We found all the beach gear well suited for our family of 11. We would highly recommend a stay here while visiting Captiva.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved staying here with our children and grandchildren! The house is large with plenty of space for everyone and the pool was great, private, and kept at the perfect temperature. The house was clean with only minor wear and tear. Loved the location and walked to the beach everyday. Close to everything you would want to do in the Captiva village! We only had a few minor issues that were handled promptly and professionally. We worked with Albert and he was so accommodating and he promptly answered any questions we had. I had also communicated with Albert prior to our trip and he always answered my questions. I’ve rented many properties in Florida and American Realty Group was superior to all other property management companies I’ve encountered.

Almost Heaven Lives Up to Its Name

This was a family vacation that included 5 adults, two teenagers, three children ages 3-7 and an infant. The house accommodations were exactly what we needed. Plenty of space to gather as well as be able to have some alone time. It was very nice having two separate, but nearby, dining tables. The large kitchen area had two coffee pots and all the utensils, plates, and appliances we needed. For the beach, there was 10 chairs, 2 beach carts, plenty of towels and 1 umbrella; the other umbrella was broken. The house had board games, puzzles, and a ping pong table. It’s a great location, with close access to a beach area that is sparsely populated. Unfortunately, there remains the after effects of the hurricane; only a few stores were open and only to 6 pm. Overall, still a very relaxing and enjoyable location to vacation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our three-generation family stayed at Almost Heaven during President's Week 2020. The kids were ages 3-8 and had a great time at the beautiful pool and the beach across the street. Lots of shells to bring home.The layout of the house offered lots of room and privacy. We called management to fix the pool lights and the house music system. The response was quick and we enjoyed the improvements.Recommendations to make it better:-Paper products that were supplied were stingy for this high level of property.-The AC in the two bedrooms on the first floor was not working well.-The dishwasher is ready for a replacement.

Lovely time in Almost Heaven

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: The home was located in a great spot, near The Green Flash. Access to the beach was very good; we walked down the long driveway, crossed Captiva Dr (which did not have heavy traffic), and we were on the beach! The home was very nice and met our needs for space. We enjoyed the ping pong table in the garage. There was plenty equipment for the beach -- 8 or 10 beach chairs in very good condition, 2 beach wagons, lots of beach towels, and a cooler. As we were packing up to leave, we found a Pack-N-Play. It would have been nice to know that it was there. The kitchen had adequate supplies, as did bathrooms. Want to note that Albert was very helpful when we called him with questions.

The house is comfortable and has wonderful amenities as far as a beach house goes. Every time we’re there it’s relaxing and easy to enjoy. Plenty of room for my family and would recommend to anyone looking to see the island for the first time. Property management is on point with any issues and takes care of guests if there’s any issues. Couldn’t be happier with my stay each time I’ve been there. We love Almost Heaven.

There was always someone available. We were there just before the hurricane Ian and we felt very well taken care of. Unfortunately, we had to leave the island early because of the hurricane. We deeply regret that the island was so affected. We hope that the whole team is doing well and that no one was harmed. We also very much hope that no major damage was done to the house. Thanks again!

Truly Almost Heaven

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Captiva Island is a Paradise and Almost Heaven was a perfect vacation spot on the island. The house was stocked with all amenities including a sharp knife (this is important when cooking), ample pots and pans and cooking utensils, two coffee makes including a k-cup and a 12 cup pot, clean beach towels, beach chairs, a beach cart, even jewelry trays by the bedside. The house is decorated nicely and was clean. It’s important to know you have to cross a two lane road to get to the beach—it’s the only road on the island and not a lot of traffic so an easy cross but important for family with little children. The beach in front of the house is spectacular and almost private because there are only a few houses and no condos —we experienced manatees swimming close enough we could reach out and touch them (they won’t hurt you but don’t touch them). We stayed in July and the back yard was overrun with misquotes and no-see-ums so we did not get to use the backyard oasis. I would have loved to as there was a grill, large table, clean pool and beautiful landscape. We did experience a plumbing back up during our stay which also prevented us from using the outdoor shower, however, management responded promptly and resolved the issue with professionalism — it was the 4th of July weekend and they made the repair happen despite the holiday! I would 100% recommend the property but I wouldn’t go in July—it was too buggy to enjoy the night.
