The house was set up well and stocked with everything we needed for making meals. Plenty of beach towels and bath towels. Very easy access to the beach. Would stay here again.
This was a wonderful home, great location. The pool area was perfect for the kids. Beach was a few steps away. The property manager & crew were amazing, prompt with pick up and drop off. I would stay at this home again.
This house has one of the best spots on the island. It's a one minute walk to the beach and there are views of the water from almost every room and deck. The kitchen was perfectly outfitted and the host was responsive to every single question we had before we arrived. We could not have asked for a more perfect week.
Island Perfection! The staff was helpful, friendly, & efficient. The home was stunning & spotless! Best location on the island. 45 second walk to the beach. Best shelling on the island infront of the house. The set up was perfect for our kids on the lower level wirh 3 bedrooms & 3 baths (one of which was a bunk room) and us on the upper main level. Decks and views everywhere. The bathroom & kitchenette by the pool was so convenient esp for a quick run back from the beach! The house has everything needed from serve & cookware, spices, beach/pool gear, towels, maps, guides, blankets, first aid, you name it, it is there or Yanet will get it for you! Absolute perfection.
Beautiful beautiful view!!! I absolutely love this island I come back every year. Everyone is so nice, friendly, and welcoming. This house was beyond amazing. Kids had the best time in the pool. Right off the beach pretty much.
We had the family vacation of our dreams at bluefin beach house in North Captiva. The house was spectacular! Spacious & comfortable. Gorgeous view of the beach & loved the proximity to the water.
We had a great time at Bluefin Beach House! The house is perfectly located close to the beach and the views are amazing. The house was super clean and had everything we needed, the listing is accurate and the property management team was very attentive and communicative. Highly recommend this property
The house had absolutely everywe need and wanted. We have been to the island 3 times before and this house was far the best. The location, the house and the service were amazing. Definitely considering going back.
We felt so lucky to have found and stayed at Bluefin Beach House. The location is perfect-super close to the beach but still able to feel tucked away in the beautiful landscape. The house's amenities are fantastic and the layout is wonderful for large groups-everyone has plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views. After driving around the island, we realized just how great Bluefin's location is. We hope to be able to visit again soon.
We were very pleased with the house and the island and would come back. The only disappointment was the cleanliness of the pool. Other than that, the house was very clean and was perfect for 3 couples.
These owners worked hard to get us in for our family vacation that was booked way before Hurricane Ian The home was comfortable and what work was still needed to be done was no inconvenience for us. Many of the homes didn’t have the care and work put in as this home received. I would not hesitate to come again. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful home with is

Thank you for your review! We are so happy Bluefin Beach House was a good fit for your family. There has been an enormous effort to get the house back to a vacation retreat. We could not have done it without the help of our property managers, who were on the island almost every day for the past five months. We are thrilled that you were able to enjoy North Captiva!
We had a great time at North Captiva and Bluefin Beach House. The house is just steps away from a very quite part of the beach that felt like we were almost by ourselves. The house was great, beds comfortable, and the kitchen/living room was plenty spacious for the 7 of us. Hurricane Ian did a number on the island but you can tell a lot of work has gone into bringing things back. The house was great. Yanet ( the property manager) was very polite and quick to answer any questions we had. Highly suggest using Debbie with Fresh Pick Groceries. She was very helpful, even when we had to make a late add on. Her and Yanet were able to get the food stocked before we got there, making everything feel like home. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic property. The quality of the home along with furnishings was first class! It was certainly a professionally appointed home which emphasized the Beach and Sea in a very elegant way. We loved the screened in porches on both levels. The pool and hot tub area was awesome. Our favorite area was the top floor great room. We enjoyed the kitchen and dinning room for dinners every night for our family of 10….priceless experience. We did have to contend with tropical storm Elsa for a day and a half. This home would be the last structure standing if there was a major storm…it is so strongly built! North Captiva is awesome and it was great being only steps away from a beach. It was never crowded. I really enjoyed fishing off the beach catching Black Sea bass, Grouper Snapper, and a Snook(2 foot off beach). Great property with very responsive management. We were very impressed with North Captiva Club handling of moving in and out. Very efficient!
I stayed at Bluefin for a week with my family (myself, husband, our 4 and 6 year olds, my sister, her husband, their 1 and 3 year olds, my mom, and her sister). This house was PERFECT. Walking distance to the beach, big enough for everyone to stretch out, well stocked with necessary baby gear (pack and play, baby gate, high chair, ect.). They also had nice, thick doors - great for privacy and minimizing noise for naptime with babies! The kids loved the adorable bunk room and all adults rooms had king sized beds. Pool had enough shade to stay cool, decks are screened in for bug control, plenty of places to hang out. I cannot recommend this place enough. This was my first vrbo experience and the bar has been set very, very high!! Memories for a lifetime!
Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay on the island. It was just as described and pictured on the listing. The owner Jane was very quick to respond to questions about the house before our trip as well as during our stay. We had an issue with the pool temp that was resolved immediately.
Loved the property and the surroundings. The house had everything we needed. The beach was wonderful and close. The beach view from the house was stunning. The kids and adults loved seeing the manatees and dolphins so close to them!!!!! And as always the sunsets were amazing! The work on the front and back side of getting there is well worth it!
My family and I loved this home and the island. The location was perfect. Would have given 5 stars but unfortunately we had several appliance and golf cart issues and was a little disappointed with the responses and lack of compensation from the owner.

We are glad your family enjoyed the house and the island. The gulf environment is very hard on golf carts, which is why we like to offer two carts with the house. We appreciate you contacting us so that we were able to get a loaner cart to you for the one that wasn’t working. Thank you for your feedback.

Why they chose this property
North Captiva Island is truly a unique vacation destination! As part of the Lee Island Coast in Southwest Florida, access to North Captiva is provided by conveniently scheduled public ferries. Golf carts and bikes are the only forms of transportation on the island, which helps to keep the environment pristine. The island has five miles of white, sandy beaches and offers some of the best shelling in the United States. Two thirds of the island is an undeveloped 350 acre state land preserve - the perfect place to spend the day. The island also has fabulous restaurants and private chefs and is home to The Island Club, a private club with pools, kayaks, and bikes. Guest access is included with your stay. North Captiva Island is one of the few places left where you can live in complete harmony with nature. One visit to this island paradise and you'll see why we fell in love with this place and now call it home!
What makes this property unique
