What a fun experience! Taking the ferry to the island was not expected but what an adventure...such beautiful scenery! Golf cart provided and so fun tooling around the island seeing all the amazing properties and beaches. Shelling was so fun on this trip for my birthday. House was great! So much room for the 2 of us and room for more...next trip! Great views from crows nest with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The property management company was great, pick up and drop off you and luggage with golf cart too! The only thing that the house would need more of would be like ziplocks, foil for baking etc. Great stay!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you had such a fun and memorable birthday trip. The ferry ride really does set the tone for the adventure to North Captiva Island, and we love hearing that you enjoyed exploring the island by golf cart and discovering the beautiful beaches and homes along the way. It sounds like you made the most of the stay—from shelling on the beach to taking in those sunrise and sunset views from the crow’s nest. Those views are one of our favorite parts of Coconut Castaway too! We also appreciate the helpful suggestion about having more kitchen items like zip-top bags and foil. Feedback like this helps us continue improving the experience for our guests. Next time you’ll just have to bring friends or family to help fill those extra bedrooms! We’d love to host you again for another island adventure. 🌴☀️

A perfect week in paradise after the busy holidays

The perfect get away. Cocounut Castaway had everything we needed to recharge after the busy holiday season. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Walks on the beach and shell hunting were our favorite activities. We visited the manatees daily and went to the pool at Mangos most days. My niece and nephew played basketball daily at the hoop at mangos. We loved the food at Mainstay but most nights cooked and grilled at home. The management company was excellent! The house had everything we needed for our stay. It was clean and nicely decorated. We can't wait to return next New Years!!!

Wonderful Island Stay

We had a wonderful time staying at Coconut Castaway. It was just what our family needed over the holiday break! We loved the house, the beach, and the island! The house was well furnished and decorated, and it had everything we needed. We especially liked the lanai and used it daily for morning coffee, meals, reading, and evening game time. We watched sunsets from the crow's nest. Having a golf cart to get around the island was convenient and fun. We walked the beach, hiked the trail, biked to the southern point, kayaked in the harbor, and swam at the pool. The club membership was a perfect match for our active interests. The quiet, calm, crowd- and traffic-free island vibe was just right for us. We would love to stay again!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Owner requires you to rent two golf carts if you are 4 people, even though i had two 4 year old kids. The cart was barely used as you don't need it. We were allowed to check in early, at 1 pm rather than 4 pm and then the owner at the door step changed his mind and made us sit for 1.5 hours in 90 degree weather until he finally let us go in. He did this on purpose to “punish” us because of the golf carta situation. BEWARE: The house is completely rigged with security cameras and you are constantly monitored by the owner. You have no privacy and the island doesn’t have a “high crime rate” to need so many cameras. I find this a ridiculous. Also you’re a/c is controlled. You can’t lower the temperature of the property. The house gets very hot upstairs and also downstairs. I asked the property manager two times to have the unit unlocked, and the owner did not allow it. Beware if you stay here you will be controlled and your every move monitored which i find a complete invasion of privacy. I do not recommend this property to be rented because of the amount of documentation/contract owner makes you sign and then the treatment onsite. Plenty of better located homes and pleasant people to rent from.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 6, 2026
Important context is missing from this review. This guest booked our home for 4 people but arrived on the island with 6 guests. Our listing plainly states that an accurate guest count is required because it determines the number of golf carts included with the reservation. One 4-person golf cart is included for groups of 4 or fewer, while reservations of 5 or more require a second golf cart. Golf carts are the primary means of transportation on North Captiva Island, and each cart is limited to 4 passengers. When our property caretaker discovered at arrival that the guest had brought 6 people instead of the 4 listed on the reservation and explained that the required second golf cart charge would apply, the guest objected and stated that she would leave us a negative review. This threat was made before she had even arrived at or experienced our home. We immediately offered the guest the option to cancel the reservation and receive a full refund if she did not wish to abide by the clearly disclosed terms of the booking. She declined that offer, chose to proceed with the stay, and later followed through with the negative review she had threatened before ever arriving at the property. We welcome honest feedback about a guest’s actual experience at our home. However, we will not waive clearly disclosed rules or fees because a guest threatens a negative review. Accurate guest counts and golf cart requirements apply equally to every reservation, and we stand firmly behind our decision to enforce those requirements in this case.

What a treat.......

Coconut Castaway is living in Paradise...what a beautiful House. We stayed for the whole month of July 2025 and didn't want to leave. The house is beautifully renovated and decorated. Nothing is missing. Every single detail was thought of. We only had one little hiccup with the Gulf Cart the first day, but Bill and Trisha took immediate, very professional care of it. Bill and Trisha's communications with me were prompt and always very helpful. I plan to rent Coconut Castaway again towards the end of the Summer, if possible. It deserves a 5 out of 5-star rating.

paradise! we can’t wait to come back!

This house is truly paradise! They thought of everything when they redid this home. What an easy place to visit with our family. The two golf carts are a bonus as they didn’t have any available on the island. Renting this home with the carts made our stay so much easier and enjoyable! The manager is great and met us at the dock, helped us unload and was available for anything we needed. The house has a beautiful setup with the balcony and porch! There is plenty of seating to enjoy dinner, coffee or even lounge in the sun! We even had speakers outside to enjoy music and watch the sunset from the house! The house was perfect and spotless! We will be back again this year! Don’t think twice just book the house! Best family trip we have had!

A wonderful getaway!

We had a wonderful time on North Captiva Island while staying at Coconut Castaway. We were there for a 7 night stay. The house is very well appointed and is a short 2 minute walk to the beach. The screened in porch was perfect for meals and general socializing. The roof deck had a great view of the ocean and sunsets. Bedrooms were very nicely done and the property was perfectly clean. The kitchen has almost everything you could want to cook full meals! While we were there the golf cart for the house at 2 flat tires (which were fixed rather quickly) and the property manager was unable to secure a second golf cart, but it wasn't a problem as the island is very walkable and it was good to get some exercise! The property manager was quite responsive while we were there and was helpful in getting acquainted with the house, the island, and transportation on arrival and departure. Of note, the North Captiva Island Club has kayaks that were easy to use, but the bikes were mostly unusable so if biking is desired I would recommend renting one from Boats N' Fun or bringing your own. Bill and Trisha (owners) were helpful in answering questions prior to arriving at their lovely home.. Overall, we had a fabulous time and would return again in the future!

Coconut Castaway DELIVERS BIG !!

We stayed with Coconut Castaway 2nd and 3rd week of August. I feel that Coconut Castaway has the “IT” dialed in…we were very impressed. The unit was the CLEANEST Vacation home rental we have ever seen in Florida. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were well appointed with TV’s in the bed rooms, usb chargers, clean furniture updated comfortable linens etc. There was plenty of stock for the essentials like dishwashing pods/laundry pods/Toilet paper /paper towels etc. The living room area and dining area were large and the furniture and decor was nicely done and very CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN and comfortable. The kitchen appliances are all brand new it appears and very nice.! The kitchen was spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed, nice cookware, knives and dishes and lots of different spices etc. The grill is a Webber and it was clean, heated quickly and worked great. The home is beautiful and the location is awesome. We watched the sunset most nights from the top deck and other nights we walked the short distance (3 houses away) to the beach for sunset then jumped into the new awesome Hot Tub. Tortuga is the owner’s property manager and they were also excellent. They were on top of communications from the start. They picked us up on time at the dock and gave us a quick tour of the island on our way to the unit. There was a very small issue with the provided golf cart and Tortuga was very responsive and handled the issue quickly to our satisfaction. We used Tortuga via “Dumpling” for the groceries and the shopper was on top of things; very good communication (offering alternatives)and excellent service overall. Our groceries were stocked and ready for us when we arrived. A+ for Tortuga a nice perk for Coconut Castaway guests!!! The Island club membership was a big plus also, There were two pools and good service from the Bar area. We used the free bicycles and free kayaks etc. All of our interactions with staff at the club were with out instance. I had some dialogue with the Coconut ownership along the way to booking etc and they were also very responsive and very nice to speak to as well. They also reached out and followed up with us post visit and again when releasing the security deposit etc.! If you are wrestling with which unit to book, you will not be disappointed here. I really cannot say enough how nice it was there, so I will simply say we’d definitely stay there again without hesitation. A++ for Coconut!!

Love this place. Hope to come again. It was us 2 families including 3 teens, 7 total. Plenty of space for everyone. The golf carts were in great condition, they had everything we needed; coolers, chairs, beach towels etc. They were super close to the "calm water side" of the island and the even closer to the rougher water side with shells to be had. Everyone had a great time, it felt very safe, clean, and beachy. Love love love them. The host were great and the property management company was easy to deal with too.

About the host

Hosted by Bill and Trisha Hall

Host profile image
Purchased in 2020, Coconut Castaway is the dream island getaway of Bill and Trisha Hall and their two children. While the family loves living in beautiful Colorado with its mountain views, skiing, hiking, and outdoor adventures, they missed being near the water. Growing up in Michigan, Bill and Trisha spent much of their lives surrounded by lakes and frequently vacationing in Florida. They fell in love with the unique beauty and laid-back charm of North Captiva Island and chose Coconut Castaway as a special place to create lasting memories with family and friends while sharing the island experience with guests seeking a relaxing and unforgettable escape.

Why they chose this property

Coconut Castaway offers a truly unique vacation experience that’s difficult to find anywhere else. Located on North Captiva Island — accessible only by ferry, private boat, small plane, or water taxi — the island’s secluded, car-free atmosphere allows guests to fully disconnect from the stress of everyday life and embrace true island living.

The home’s location is one of its biggest highlights. Just steps from the Gulf beaches and situated just south of the Salty Approach grass airstrip, guests can enjoy both breathtaking natural beauty and one of the island’s most unique attractions — watching small planes and helicopters arrive throughout the day. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee on the lanai, spotting dolphins at sunrise, or taking in spectacular sunsets over the water, every day feels peaceful and unforgettable.

Coconut Castaway was also designed to maximize the island experience, with ocean views, multiple outdoor spaces, a crow’s nest with panoramic views, and golf carts for exploring the island’s sandy roads, beaches, restaurants, and wildlife areas.

What truly makes this property special is the combination of privacy, adventure, and relaxation. Guests can spend the day shelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, boating, fishing, biking, or simply relaxing on uncrowded beaches — all while enjoying the laid-back charm that makes North Captiva so memorable.

What makes this property unique

Coconut Castaway combines the beauty of island seclusion with the comfort and convenience guests want in a relaxing beach getaway. Located just three homes from the Gulf, the beach is only a short two-minute walk away, making it easy to enjoy morning walks, shelling, dolphin sightings, and unforgettable sunsets whenever you’d like.

One of the home’s most unique features is the crow’s nest, offering stunning 360-degree island views and a perfect spot to relax, sunbathe, or enjoy sunrise and sunset views over the water. The spacious upside-down floor plan was intentionally designed to maximize natural light and ocean views from the main living area and upper lanai.

Guests also love the home’s location near the Salty Approach grass airstrip, where you can watch small planes and helicopters arrive throughout the day — a uniquely North Captiva experience. The included golf carts make exploring the island easy and fun, whether heading to the beach, restaurants, pools, or nearby nature areas.

Additional benefits include Smart TVs in every bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, beach gear, reverse osmosis water filtration, optional access to Island Club amenities, and personalized vacation planning resources to help guests make the most of their stay.

Whether you're seeking peaceful relaxation, outdoor adventure, or quality time with family and friends, Coconut Castaway offers an unforgettable private island experience.
