THE ISLAND
North Captiva Island is a hidden gem located off the west coast of Pine Island, FL, accessible only by boat or private plane. The secluded island is surrounded by Pine Island Sound and the Gulf of Mexico, offering visitors pristine white sand beaches, warm turquoise waters, and an abundance of wildlife. With 700 acres of protected preserve, North Captiva Island is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts alike. There are no cars allowed on the island (only golf carts) so visitors can enjoy a slower pace of life and truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Whether you're looking to soak up the sun, go fishing, or simply unwind, North Captiva Island is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway.

THE PROPERTY
Our rental home, called SweetWater Bay, is an exclusive beachfront property located on North Captiva Island. Designed with the charm of "Old Florida" in mind, it offers clean, fresh, and comfortable accommodations. This 3-bedroom vacation home is the ideal escape for up to 10 guests. It is located directly on the Bay side of the island and has a private beach perfect for sunbathing, swimming, dolphin and blue heron watching, and shell hunting.

FAMILY & PET FRIENDLY
Our family and pet friendly rental has three spacious bedrooms, all en-suites, each featuring stunning bay views. Two of the rooms have king beds and one room has two doubles. There are additional sleeping options for kids with four twin blow-up mattresses and a pack & play crib available upon request.

FUN
Renting SweetWater Bay promises endless fun and relaxation for all! From lively games of corn hole and ping pong to soothing soaks in the hot tub, there's never a dull moment. Make tropical drinks in your own personal tiki bar to sip on the expansive deck while soaking in panoramic views of the beach just steps away. For the avid angler, casting a line off the dock offers the chance to reel in the catch of the day. With an array of activities right at your fingertips, every moment spent at SweetWater Bay is filled with joy and unforgettable memories.

COOKING FRIENDLY
Our fully-equipped kitchen, stocked with luxury amenities including a Vitamix, KitchenAid stand mixer with ice cream maker attachment, electric green pan, and Le Creuset 4.5 Qt pot, caters to those who cherish leisurely family meals. Additionally, our DeLonghi all-in-one coffee maker provides both cappuccino and drip-coffee brewing. The combined living room & dining area has a comfortable seating area, a dining table that seats 8-10 and a smart TV (the only one in the house).

SPACIOUS OUTDOOR LIVING & PRIVATE BEACH
The outside spaces and private beach are just as inviting. Relax on the screened porch, perfect for unwinding after dark, complete with a seating area, daybed, and card table. The refreshing bay breeze, enhanced by a ceiling fan, ensures comfort year-round while dolphin sightings are a common sight from this vantage point.The expansive patio is gated for the safety of furry friends and little ones, and we offer games and beach toys to keep everyone entertained. Enjoy the sunrise from the shared balcony or unwind on the expansive deck, equipped with lounge chairs, comfortable seating, a large dining table and two large umbrellas. Or, take the steps down from the deck and relax on the gorgeous private beach which is hard to beat! There are so many choices, it will be difficult to choose!

TIKI BAR
For those seeking a true break from the sun, our shaded seating area and 'secret' tiki bar await beneath the deck. Our beachside tiki bar, steps away from our private beach, features a sink, full-size refrigerator, commercial ice maker, and blender, creating the perfect spot for mixing up your favorite drinks, rain or shine.

Beautiful home, well decorated and super comfortable. Love the multiple decks for sunrise and sunset viewing. The pictures are accurate, it’s that pretty and the property manager is exceptional. The island is relatively isolated, restaurant options are very limited. This home has a jacuzzi on the largest deck facing the beach and waterway. If you want a no stress, super relaxed vacation where you do most or all of the cooking this location is perfect,

Wonderful House

We stayed at SweetWater Bat in mid June 2025. What a beautiful property. The bayside beach in front of the house is essentially private. We did not see another soul. The Gulf beach is only a one minute golf cart ride away. The house is beautifully well kept with an amazing porch overlooking the bay. We will definitely visit again. Also, we definitely recommend having Yvena pickup your groceries prior to arriving as she did a great job stocking the house.

Holiday Vacation Perfect Days

We had a wonderful, relaxing time together, soaking in the peaceful moments. The house is gorgeous, providing the perfect backdrop for our stay. Mornings were magical as we watched porpoises gracefully swimming near the shore, and afternoons were spent fishing by the water. Evenings brought breathtaking sunsets, painting the sky with vibrant hues, and we cherished quality family time, creating memories to treasure forever.

Sunsets to die for

If you’re looking to escape the rat race and just enjoy total beachfront serenity, this is a great choice. There’s no pressure to sightsee, shop or take part in any nightlife because you’re quite literally on a private island. The house is terrific for stargazing, sunsets, sunrises, reading, napping, cooking simple meals, and enjoying some wine with all of it. A helpful local couple will stock the fridge for you, so you don’t have to lift a finger!

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Carter Gregg

Host profile image
Meet Leslie & Dan Gregg, the proud owners of SweetWater Bay. Their love affair with North Captiva began the moment they set foot on the island, leading them to purchase their first home within hours of arrival! A year later, realizing they needed more space for family gatherings, fate intervened when fate intervened when this Bayside beauty became available and SweetWater Bay was born. Despite encountering Hurricane Ian shortly after purchase, Leslie & Dan persevered, enhancing the property with upgraded decks and thoughtful renovations. Hailing from Charlottesville, VA, they bring their expertise from owning a tree nursery and garden shop/cafe to creating inviting spaces for guests to enjoy. With a passion for crafting unforgettable experiences, Leslie & Dan are dedicated to ensuring your stay at SweetWater Bay is nothing short of magical.

Why they chose this property

SweetWater Bay is special for its private beach, huge deck and gorgeous bay views from every room. Leslie & Dan fell in love with the property almost immediately noticing the potential it had to be exceptional. Suckers for renovation, the owners dove right in updating the landscaping, interior and exterior. Their goal was to keep the "old Florida charm" while updating the design and flow of the house.

What makes this property unique

The private beach, huge deck and gorgeous bay views from every room make SweetWater special. In addition, the variety of areas for relaxing and enjoying each other's company are endless. The upper balconies, screened-in porch, two porches, shaded porches and beach provide so many options for guests.
