BEAUTY AND THE BEACH – 5 Bedrooms with 3 Master Suites | Sleeps 17 in beds

BEAUTY AND THE BEACH is a luxurious 5-bedroom beachfront mansion located directly on the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico on North Captiva Island. This private, car-free island is only accessible by boat or private aircraft, which makes every visit feel like a true escape. Nestled among palm trees, beach dunes, and pristine white sandbars loaded with beautiful shells, Beauty and the Beach’s tropical location is second to none. With sleeping for up to 17 people and three king master bedroom suites, Beauty and the Beach can host your next family vacation, reunion, or even wedding (fees apply). This beachfront mansion is reminiscent of a luxury beach resort in the Caribbean—without the need for a passport.

ABOUT NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND

North Captiva is a private barrier island off Florida’s Gulf Coast. No cars, no bridges—just uncrowded, natural white-sand beaches with incredible shelling and wildlife viewing. Two-thirds of the island is a state wildlife preserve, while one-third is lightly developed with vacation homes, giving visitors the best mix of seclusion and comfort.

FIRST-CLASS ACCOMMODATIONS

This coastal-modern, spacious 3-story beach house features:

A large screened-in lanai with expansive views of the pool and Gulf of Mexico

A 3rd-floor master suite with spectacular 360-degree island views (Gulf + Bay)

A gourmet kitchen with granite counters, Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances

Luxury granite bathrooms and thoughtfully designed living spaces

Elevator access to all levels for added convenience and accessibility

RESORT-LIKE AMENITIES

Private heated swimming pool with outdoor kitchen, grilling area, and poolside games

Ping pong and plenty of space to relax

A private boat slip for guests arriving by their own boat or rental boat

YOUR ISLAND ADVENTURE

Because North Captiva is boat-access only, your property manager and personal concierge, Shally’s Seashells Property Management, will guide you through the logistics of island travel. Shally’s will assist in selecting ferry or private charter options, greet you at the dock upon arrival, and transport you and your luggage/groceries to the home. Pre-stocking the kitchen (highly recommended) is also available. You’ll also receive a private island tour and full orientation of the house amenities.

IT’S ISLAND TIME AT BEAUTY AND THE BEACH!

Each day brings a new adventure:

Relax by the pool or beach

Take a bike or kayak ride

Go fishing, explore the nature preserve, or simply enjoy the Gulf breeze on the porch

Soon enough, shoes are forgotten, flip-flops become the uniform, and life slows to true island time.

Great Stay!

We had a great time at Beauty and the Beach! Very spacious house. Pool provided many hours of fun for our family. Proximity to the beach can’t be beat! Lots of beach towels provided. Shally’s did a great job supplying groceries ahead of time. While it seems expensive, it definitely makes arrival easier. North Captiva is so fun if you’re properly prepared!

The view is amazing!

I don't think there is a better property on the island. The pool is very private. You are a short walk from the beach, and the sunsets are breathtaking. This property has it all!

This location is fabulous. The view is stunning regardless of the time of day. You can see the sun rise on the Sound and set on the Gulf. The house was clean and everything that was promised stated was provided. The property management company was very helpful and responded expeditiously to a couple small issues we needed addressed. Our grocery order was packed to perfection, and every item was delivered. The elevator was greatly appreciated. It made getting our bags in and out a breeze. I do suspect the pictures used to advertise this house are probably from shortly after completion in 2013 as the owners have not maintained this property. It’s worn and in need of repairs. North Captiva is stunningly beautiful with clean beaches full of shells not people. The Island is quiet and peaceful. The lack of traffic and remote location is a great respite from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. It's really a special place with a plethora of wildlife both in and out of the water. Take bug spray and sunblock. It was a lovely week spent with family albeit the disappointing condition of house.

Beauty And The Beach Review

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Beauty And The Beach. There were some initial issues due to Hurricane Debby, but they were ironed out before our arrival. It's a great location with a short private walk to the beach and a nearby sand bar. Our granddaughters loved the pool. Communication with the Property Managers could have been a bit better.

Beauty and the Beach is a beautiful home!

We enjoyed every second of our stay. We had 3 families with a total of 15 people. There is so much room in this house that we never felt crowded. The location has amazing views, the pool was a perfect place to cool off after a beach day. We loved having two golf carts to be able to sight see around the island and easily take fishing and boating items to the boat. No complaints here! If we had any items come up, property management was quick to respond and take care of things. I highly recommend this place and we will be back!
