About this property

Captiva Vacation Home: comfort, private pool, dock, 300 steps to private beach

You are just 300 steps from the beach and the Gulf of Mexico in this light, spacious, comfortable island vacation rental home. The Captiva Vacation Home is nestled among other estate zoned properties in this stretch of Captiva Island, also referred to as the Gold Coast. At times the private beach will seem deserted to you and you will feel as if you own it. Using this Captiva Island vacation rental as your base, simply enjoy relaxing on the beach, collecting some of the shells for which Captiva is famous, swim in the Gulf of Mexico, fish for some of Captiva's well-known gamefish (right off the beach or the dock)... or go biking, kayaking, parasailing, golfing, boating, bird watching, surfing... And for your off-beach entertainment this vacation rental home has a heated pool plenty of modern amenities inside, including Direct TV in the living room with with VHS and DVD, Smart TV in the bedrooms, and wireless internet.

Beautiful As Ever!
Captiva is so beautiful and we have been staying in the Vacation Home for years now. Margarethe is very responsive to your needs as a guest, the house is very clean and the property is in an excellent location! Shelling right across the street in beautiful gulf waters and fishing there as well as off the dock was great as usual. Thank you for allowing us to visit. see you again in October! Pat and Wolgang

Fantastic Captiva Rental
My family has been coming to the Sanibel/Captiva since the 50's and my grandparents used to live on Sanibel. We have been renting for the past 10 years on Sanibel. This year we chose this Captiva gem. It was perfect for our mixed group of my mom in her 70's, a group of friends in their 40's and a number of kids all over two as well as two dogs who loved the fenced in area around the pool. Margarethe and her husband live in the house in between the rental and the bay. They are very friendly, accommodating and we were able to use the dock comfortably. We enjoyed the beach and found some shells here but went to the Sanibel beaches public parking when we were looking for anther experience. I highly recommend this vacation rental. Except when I want to rent it!

Excellent stay
Lovely house, property and location. Owners made stay easy and relaxing. Remember there is some rebuilding work going on on the islands after hurricane Ian so expect it; however it was low level and did not affect our enjoyment in any way.

Spacious, Well-appointed with Excellent Location
Very clean, comfortable, pleasant beach house with plenty of room for eating, socializing and just hanging out. Steps to a dock on Blind Pass for bird watching and sunning during the day or to watch hungry fish snap up prey under the lights at night. Directly across the street from the beach with a beach cart, cooler, sun shade and all the chairs, boogie boards and shell scoopers you need. Screened in front porch was very pleasant for mornings.
