DAZZLING BEACHFRONT HOME PRIVATE POOL AND BREATHTAKING VIEWS OF THE GULF

What a beautiful piece of paradise! The view is absolutely spectacular in every part of this fabulous house. The best part were the sunsets we watched from both the open and enclosed decks. They were such an event every night as each one was just incredible!

The house is very large and fully accommodated our large group. The living area including the kitchen and dining area open up to panoramic 180 degree view of the Gulf of Mexico. Two large porches one screened in and the other open to the full sun. These porches were enjoyed throughout the entire day and night. All our meals were eaten on one of these porches, Even though there was a huge indoor dining room table we could have used too.

The house even had it's own pool with a large deck and chairs and outside shower and a two grills on the lower deck.

The bedrooms were really comfortable, and were beautifully decorated. We slept deeply especially with the sound of the ocean lulling us to sleep. The private balcony in our bedroom was great to relax on before we turned in for the night.

We had such fun exploring the island either on our golf cart or walking the beach or hiking through the islands nature trail to the South in the State Owned Land. We saw dolphin, (within feet of us), manatee, turtles, one snake, countless birds and seashells galore!

I could go on and on, we just really loved this home and this paradise found!!! We will be returning again next year to this same home, we just cannot wait!!!

Didn't want to leave the house! It was so beautiful! I've been to North Captiva many times and this has to be the nicest house, in the best location I have ever stayed in. The view and location is absolutely amazing! My favorite part of the whole house is the bottom deck, I laid there with the water and beach right in front of me. The view was spectacular!

Just walk right down three steps to your own private beach. We walked far in both directions and swam with the dolphins! Also saw turtoise and manatee!

So many great spots to eat. A screened in porch on the main level, a huge deck on the side of the house overlooking the beach, and another deck right on the beach with not only a gas grill but charcoal grill and tables and seating! Not to mention the pool deck! We spent every minute enjoying the beautiful breeze and view. We saw dolphins three times from the deck while sitting out there. Of course there is a large dining room table with plenty of seating as well.

I own a timeshare and have rented properties all over, usually houses don't come with much in the kitchen. This one was well equipped. Plenty of dishes, silverware, glass baking ware, pots, blender, pannini maker, grill, etc. They even had games, cards, and a wine refrigerator in the living area. The wine refrigerator was a great asset! We had 8 people in our group and there was plenty of room for everyone in all areas in the house. We all liked to hang out together and there was always enough space.

The bedrooms were great, the master had a beautiful balcony with a couch, two of the other bedrooms had access to decks as well. There was also a huge laundry room. The sound of the waves at night was unreal so soothing!

This house is also one of the few to not only be right on the beach but also have a pool with plenty of chairs and outdoor shower. Never even used the 2 pools at the island club. We did use the kayaks though. It was awesome!

The house came with a golf cart and we rented an extra one but didn't need it cause we never wanted to leave the house and beach!

NCIC did a good job transporting our luggage and food from the parking to our house. Eric carried everything up for us. Make sure u bring all the food and drinks you need for ur vacation and u will be set!

Weather was perfect, breeze was awesome! Just perfect vacation! Did not want to leave! Can't wait to go back, definitely staying in this house again and laying on that deck!

Superb home. Great layout, nice amenities, comfortable furnishings. Pool is large and nice, plenty of seating options.Views from top decks and porch are breath taking. No doubt where we will stay on next trip down, next spring. Sunsets are literally on your doorstep, incredible.

Home comfortably slept 10. Storm damage to beach in front of home created steep access, but hardly deterred anything we wanted to do! Highly recommend, this home.

The house is in an amazing location and you can't beat the views from all the decks. The house is huge and decorated very nicely. This house is currently for sale so I'm not sure who is managing the upkeep. Most of our issues were small but when numerous they add up. With what you pay to stay here you expect top notch service. First, we were given the wrong keys to the house and had to come back to exchange them. The pool heater was off when we arrived and the pool bottom was dirty with sand. We turned the thermostat up immediately and called and requested a pool cleaning which I'm not sure ever happened. There are small things wrong with the house that could be easily fixed. The only bathtub does not work. Somehow the knob to switch it from shower to bath is missing. The other bathrooms all have very nice showers. The linens were all slightly stained but I washed everything when we arrived. The washer and dryer work great. There were not enough towels in the house for showering. Only one per bathroom. There were only three old beach towels which is not nearly enough for use outside. The kitchen has everything you could need. All the furntiture is slightly nicked, but all the beds are comfortable. All the TV s work. A big issue for me is that the deck that was supposed to be screened in was missing two screens. The bugs down there can be relentless and it's nice to be able to sit on a screened porch when you advertised a screened porch. Also both the fans on that level are broken and do not work. Also the downstairs lights by the pool are missing with just wires hanging from them.

Lastly, our golf cart that was provided was almost impossible to turn and there was no charger at the house when we arrived. It seems some of the service that was so great on North Captiva is not so great anymore. The receptionist on pine island was very helpful, but the lady on the island was not as helpful. The people working on the ferry would talk negatively about other vacationers in front of guests. This is our third time here in the last three years and we absolutely love he nature here, but I think next year we might try a different island in the area.

We had a group of 10 and fit perfectly in this amazing house. The trip was incredible and the island is perfect for a nice, getaway with friends or family.
