PRIVATE ISLAND minutes from Sanibel, Captiva, Useppa & Pine Island

This place is a slice of paradise. I know that we will be coming back as much as possible. It’s a private island that feels like home the moment you get here. Leaving this island is very hard to do after living out here. Thank you for an amazing home base for our vacation.

Beautiful spot for 4th of July fireworks on the top deck, best show ever!!! Heide was very responsive with all communication. Beware of sand gnats as you are on an island....they are out all night and day. Great view from the top bedroom windows. Other 2 bedrooms are airy curtain style rooms so no doors or walls. Definitely geared towards fishing, you have to take the boat out to get the beach experience. Bring a DVD if you have little ones so they are entertained when it is too buggy to go outside. This property is probably best for adults. Kitchen has all cooking necessities.

We enjoyed our stay on Crescent Island. The owners are VERY responsive, and excellent with communication and directions. They made our stay great! The location, and privacy of this island was exactly what we were looking for, and it was perfect for our party of 10. 4 adults and 6 children. Sleeps 10 is a bit of a stretch, but we did make it work, and 2 of the kiddo's did not mind sleeping on the sofa, but there is bed space for only 8. Woody's on Pine Island was great, and there is a marina just next store for bait and gas and basic supplies. We enjoyed The Waterfront restaurant even better than Woody's. Easy boating to Sanibel Lighthouse, Ft Myers beach, Captiva Island and Cayo Costa. We docked at Jensen's marina on Captiva twice, and really enjoyed the beach & The Mucky Duck. We enjoyed the kayak's, and fishing on and around Crescent Island. Wildlife was everywhere, and we also enjoyed the 4th floor look-out deck. Great views from up there. Beware of the "noseeums", these little bugs that bite seem to be everywhere. Overall, I would highly recommend staying at this rental home, it really is a once in a lifetime experience, and we made some great memories during our stay!

We (2 couples in our early 70s) just returned to cold New England after a glorious week on Crescent Island. The house offered an ideal spot to relax, read, putt around in the rental boat, and snooze. We made day trips to Sanibel and up to Cabbage Key for lunch, and enjoyed dinners at Woody's, the Low Key Tiki, and the Waterfront Restaurant (Woody's won the contest for best food!). Finding places to go ashore from the boat was a challenge. Restaurants allow you to tie up while you dine, and there are beaches where you can anchor, but be prepared to swim to shore. The southern tip of Caya Costa is the best beach that we found. If you're looking for a great spot away from the hustle and bustle of the Florida coast, this is the place for you. The house is clean, airy, and beautifully maintained. The view is spectacular, with boats coming and going on the inter-coastal waterway, dolphins, osprey, herons, and pelicans in abundance, and warm breezes blowing. The owners are very responsive and helpful. All in all, a wonderful vacation spot!

My wife and I decided to take our kids back home to Ft Myers for Christmas but stay someplace different. Crescent Island was the answer! We had an amazing 9 night stay. The home was clean and had all ammenities. Kids swam in pool, fished, kayaked and had a ball. The views are amazing from every level. Pictures dont do justice. We will make our way back there again! Highly recommended if you want a trip your will never forget and make lifetime memories with your kids.
