About this property

Beach's Edge, On the beach

This beautiful home is right on the Florida sugar sand beach, which is often uninhabited except by wading birds, ghost crabs, osprey and snook. This property features direct beach access so you can walk right onto the beach and into the Gulf of Mexico. North Captiva Island features some of the most secluded beaches in the continental United States. Many times of the year, your family may be the only ones on the beach.

North Captiva Island is only accessible by water taxi and there are no cars on the island. Transportation on the island is by golf cart which is provided with your rental, walking or bicycle. There are no paved roads, only sandy paths winding through tropical vegetation. It is truly a unique setting. Palm trees, gumbo limbo trees and beautiful flowers are everywhere.

Our favorite activities are fishing, shelling, swimming and exploring the beach and state land. There are a large number of wading birds, gopher tortoises, raccoons, brown pelicans, osprey, egrets, cormorants, bald eagles, ibis and sanderlings. There are two very nice swimming pools and hot tub maintained by our island club a short walk or golf cart drive from our house. Kayaks and bicycles are also available at no charge through the island club. Tarpon, sea trout, red fish, snook, and snapper may be caught from the shore. Shelling is a daily activity on the island. North Captiva is often described as the shelling capital of North America.

Our house, Beach's Edge, is beautifully appointed and newly updated. The kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances and gulf views. The living room includes new leather couches and flat screen TV. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor: a master bedroom with a gulf view and a guest bedroom with two bunk-beds. There is one full bath on the main floor.

Because the house is on the west shore of North Captiva we are often witness to stunning sunsets which can be observed from your bedroom or the back deck. Don't forget your camera to help capture some memories. If you are lucky you may see Dolphin playing in the surf, Tarpon showing past the first breakers and the legendary stoop of the brown pelican fishing. This has got to be one of the prettiest and most unusual places you will ever see.

The location of this house is unbelievable. We had an incredible time at this property. Getting there isn’t easy and buying groceries or anything needed requires lots of extra planning and money but the setting and easy access to the most beautiful parts of this beach are absolutely worth every penny and all the effort.

The location of this house cannot be beat!! I would absolutely stay here again. The only challenge was the 3rd bedroom/2nd bathroom was not attached to the main living space and the rest of our group, but it didn't ruin our experience. We loved watching dolphins from the deck every day. No one ever set up in front of our house so we felt like we had our own private beach. The kids loved the outdoor shower.

Overall the property presents a stunning setting and access to the beach. We had some issues that we promptly answered or taken care of by the property management company. The only compliant is the bed mattresses were extra firm and a little hard to sleep on depending on what you are used to. Definitely would rent this property again. Duncan with the property management company was great as well.

Best Vacation Ever!

This was by far our favorite family vacation! The home is in the best location on the island and the view of the sunset from the deck is amazing! The property managers were very personable and professional and made our stay on the island worry free. We can’t wait to return to paradise and will definitely book Beach’s Edge!

Stunning!

Stunning sunset views from the deck! It just might be the perfect beach house, the water is closer than it appears in the pictures. The house has been beautifully updated since the pics in the listing. North Captiva is the perfect plus to unplug and relax. Added bonus that the beds and linens were very comfortable.

This house was better than I could have imagined. This was our first visit to North Captiva and I could not have picked a better location to stay. The views are priceless. We loved everything about the island and the house and will be back for certain. The property owner and management co was easy to work with and provided us with everything we needed and then some.

Best spot on the island!

This was our second time staying at Beach’s Edge and it continues to be our favorite vacation spot. Easily the best views in the island right from your deck! The house is perfect and the addition of the hot tub on the upper deck made our stay even more fun. Kids loved playing on the beach, collecting shells and taking in amazing sunsets. We saw dolphins, osprey, manatee, tortoises etc! This house has plenty of room and had been nicely updated since we last stayed. Downstairs area was a great spot for the grandparents to join us and have their own space! Property managers made the stay easy from checking in to heading out. You can find bigger homes on North Cap but none that are worth the location you give up. You won’t regret choosing Beach s Edge!

The BEST place to be

We look forward to our yearly vacation at North Captiva and staying at Beaches Edge. It feels like home the minute we pull up to the house. It has everything we need and we loved the new living room furniture. The views are the best on the beach and we really enjoyed watching the sunsets while sitting on the new swing. Alicia is awesome to work with and always takes care of us. We can’t wait to go back next year.

We have 1 in Maine with her daughter, 1 in Philadelphia, 3 in Kansas City, 1 in New Jersey with his wife and son and 1 in California.

Alicia, our daughter-in-law, enjoys answering inquiries on VRBO/HomeAway and helps our guests plan and book their vacations to the island and our home.

Why they chose this property

We love the island, the trees, flowers and the uncrowded beaches. We have had our best vacations here walking the beach, playing games, praying, reading and enjoying the wildlife.

What makes this property unique

We have one of the few homes on the island that is on the beach and has direct beach access. Driving around the island in the golf cart observing island flora and fauna is unique to this place. We are members of the North Captiva Island Club and you will have access to all the amenities of the Club including 2 large swimming pools and a hot tub when you stay in our home. The beaches are the least crowded we have ever been on. The nighttime stars are spectacular and we have watched sea turtles digging a nest on the side of our house.
