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.

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

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.

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!
Multigenerational vacation was amazing ! They have done amazing work to get the island back up and ready for vacationers after Hurricane Ian. We hope to come again!

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!
Such a beautiful property for a weeklong get away with friends. Tons of space and a great view of the beach and beautiful blue water. Shally’s Management was outstanding and took care of every need! Highly recommend this house!
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.

Thank you for sharing your experience at Beauty And The Beach. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful location, the private walk to the beach, and that your granddaughters had a wonderful time in the pool.
We’re sorry for any concerns caused by Hurricane Debby before your arrival. Our property managers worked hard to address these challenges, offering to adjust your travel dates to avoid any weather-related disruptions.
Communication is a top priority for us, and our property managers were in touch with you promptly before your stay. During your visit, we were informed of two issues: a leaking water valve outside, which was promptly addressed by the water maintenance team on island, and a minor water leak from the AC vents. While the AC unit itself was functioning properly, we scheduled the repair for after your departure to ensure minimal disruption to your stay.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even better experience.

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!
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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the stunning views and the peace and beauty of North Captiva, and that our team was able to help quickly whenever you needed anything. We also love hearing that the elevator and grocery delivery made your arrival and stay a little easier — that’s exactly what we hope for.
Regarding the condition of the home, we do want to reassure you that the photos in the listing are current. The owners have made many updates since 2022, including refreshed interiors and new furnishings, to keep the home comfortable for guests. Because this is the first time we’ve received feedback about the home feeling worn, we genuinely appreciate you sharing your perspective.
If you’re open to it, we would be grateful for any specific details about what felt in need of attention. We always want to continue improving and making sure every guest has the best possible experience.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We’re so glad your family had a lovely week on the island, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
