About this property

Sandy Seas Villa - Just one home from the Sand

Welcome to our Captiva Island vacation rental home aptly named Sandy Seas Villa. As soon as you arrive, you will realize how special our vacation home is, being just one home from the sand. With plenty of room for up to 14 guests, your entire family and even some friends and extended family can share the experience for a fun-filled week or longer stay. The main level of the home features a spacious living area with a flat panel TV, a dining room with enough seating for the entire group, and an open kitchen that has everything you'll need to prepare meals and entertain. There are three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms on the main level as well. Two of the bedrooms have queen beds while the third bedroom has two twin beds. Upstairs is a loft with a sleeper sofa and the master bedroom suite with a king-sized bed and en-suite bathroom with tub and a separate shower. There is a lounging deck off the master bedroom to soak up the sun. Off the main level, there is a wrap-around porch for lounging, relaxing, and reading your favorite book, or just enjoying a cup of coffee and viewing the gulf views. Downstairs is the expansive heated pool and pool area with plenty of seating and an outdoor shower. There's also a private suite with a king bed, a sleeper sofa, a TV, and a full bathroom. We do have a gas BBQ grill if you would like to cook up burgers, dogs, or your favorite BBQ. Beach towels are provided, and beach equipment is available through our partnership with VayKLife—so all you need to bring is yourselves! Be sure to re-book your stay and enjoy your vacation home away from home year after year.
Plus, we’ve recently added a brand-new hot tub to the beautiful pool area for even more relaxation during your stay.

Important Note: This rental does not include beach chairs or umbrellas. Instead, we’ve partnered with VayKLife to provide you with a credit toward beach essentials like chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, and more—so you can pack light and still enjoy everything you need for a perfect day at the beach. While some of our homes may have beach gear on-site, availability varies, and we cannot guarantee specific items will be provided. With VayKLife, you get to choose exactly what you need, and they’ll deliver it right to your door for added convenience. Your booking confirmation includes a link to VayKLife’s site, where you can browse their full selection and easily redeem your credit. It’s just one of the ways we help make your stay as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

***Due to the aftermath of the storms Helene and Milton, the island is currently in a restoration phase. Please be aware that amenities may not be open or readily accessible during your visit, including limited restaurant options and activities. Additionally, nearby ongoing construction may create noise and other disturbances that we have no control over.***

The house was in a perfect location so close to beach and restaurants. The pool was warm and the hot tub was awesome. It is a great house for a crowd. We had 4 couples and there were plenty of seating areas.

Sandy Seas was spotlessly clean upon arrival. It has a well stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable. The close proximity to the beach was perfect for our family since we had toddlers and an infant with us. The crystal clear pool was great for the kids and adults. We swam in it every morning and it was refreshing after a day on the beach. The home is within very easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants on Captiva. We will definitely be returning.

Great Location, Nice House

The house is in a perfect location, we spent our family vacation bouncing from the beach to the pool to the restaurants at the end of the road. Once we arrived we never had to get back in the car until it was time to leave.

Perfect Getaway

If you are lucky enough to find an open date for your stay at this property. Grab it! This location was perfect. Short walking distance to all shops and eateries. The beach is less than 25 meters away and very private. Great response times to questions.

Captiva Holiday

My family had a wonderful time at Sandy Seas Villa. The addition of the lower level king bed suite is much appreciated. The twin beds on top floor and the bedroom off of the kitchen could use new mattresses. We needed a few items for the kitchen and we received them in short order. We hope to be back next year.

Family vacation

The property worked very well for us - the proximity to the beach was fantastic. The property needs some TLC - clogged drain in master bath, limited kitchen / bar items. Furniture was functional but not comfortable. Overall a very positive experience - the property management company was very responsive too.

Just Awesome

The location was so great! We didn’t even have to pack our lunch, we could just simply walk back to the house and grab a bite! The pool area was a wonderful place to come back from the beach and hang out when we were done in the sun! The house was big enough for the 11 of us to hang out and not be on top of each other. All the screened in areas were great because the mosquitoes were horrible! We loved the house so much we are already booked for next year!

Wonderful beach vacation

The overall property was great! We had plenty of room for 6 adults and 4 children. We had a wonderul location, right next to the beach. A very short walk to the beach along with a nice pool for the whole family to enjoy. The only negative and why I didn't give five stars was because of the stove. The oven worked fine but, the top burners only had one temperature and that was high. We burned the bacon because it would not regulate to low. Please replace the stove and you have five stars. A family of ten needs to be able to cook. Thank you!

Great Stay in Captiva

We just got back from a week at Sandy Seas with extended family in two houses on the street with 6 adults, two teens, and two kids all in SSV comfortably. The location of the house to the beach and restaurants is perfect. The sand is hot so bring flops and bug spray for after the sun goes down as the no-see-ums are terrible. We hit RC Otters, Captiva Cantina, and Green Flash and they were all great. Found out that the Mucky Duck is beer and wine only so no pina coladas on the beach, oh well. We rented pontoons from Tween Waters and hit Cabbage Key for a Cheeseburger in Paradise and even went on a charter fishing trip for snapper and snook that the kids loved. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit as well, although the spiral staircase is not exactly kid friendly. The beds are not the best, but nothing terrible. The AC on the main level and basement worked great, not so great on the third floor where the master suite and twin bedroom are. It was tough for three families to live out of one fridge for a week. An extra fridge and ice machine would have been really nice to have. $50 on ice from the store a day adds up. Oh and the ice machine in the fridge doesn't work. Was surprised to find out that there is no beach equipment at the house and you have to rent it. Luckily we brought some of our own. All in all we had a great time and really enjoyed Captiva.

Trouble gaining access due to multiple old or current key lock boxes or remote entry…… that part was frustrating, but all else good. WAY too many stairs—very steep… garage level to main level, 18 tall stairs and no landing part way up. Then another 16 from main to master bedroom…that section not bad….really needs an elevator for most folks….and we are not that old!!!!! House was clean, well appointed….Kitchen supplies adequate but could use more. Bed was very very comfortable. Huge house-sleeps 14 I think, and just my wife and me..Great locay, one house off of beach. Will rent again when we have a larger party..plenty of “space” for 3-4 couples…Good experience….lots of stairs.

We were overly impressed with the property! The house is beautiful and very well maintained. The pool was clean and well kept. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the little pathway to the beach was really neat to walk through! Loved how close it was to the amazing beach! Having all beach chairs and coolers already there was a major bonus! Thanks for all the extras! Great communication with us when there was someone coming to drop off new chairs for the deck! Beautiful chairs!

Whole family vacation

We had a great time! The location was perfect and there was plenty of room for the whole family. Sand toys and beach chairs and wagon were perfect got lots of use. Ice cream shop at end of street!! Only problems were the door in pool area was broken at bottom hinge, a couple of outside chairs were broken, still things left in dresser drawers from past guests and sheets on master bed did not stay on.
