THE ISLAND
North Captiva Island is a hidden gem located off the west coast of Pine Island, FL, accessible only by boat or private plane. The secluded island is surrounded by Pine Island Sound and the Gulf of Mexico, offering visitors pristine white sand beaches, warm turquoise waters, and an abundance of wildlife. With 700 acres of protected preserve, North Captiva Island is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts alike. There are no cars allowed on the island (only golf carts) so visitors can enjoy a slower pace of life and truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Whether you're looking to soak up the sun, go fishing, or simply unwind, North Captiva Island is the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway.

THE PROPERTY
Our rental home, called SweetWater Bay, is an exclusive beachfront property located on North Captiva Island. Designed with the charm of "Old Florida" in mind, it offers clean, fresh, and comfortable accommodations. This 3-bedroom vacation home is the ideal escape for up to 10 guests (with a maximum of 6 people over 14). It is located directly on the Bay side of the island and has a private beach perfect for sunbathing, swimming, dolphin and blue heron watching, and shell hunting.

FAMILY & PET FRIENDLY
Our family and pet friendly rental has three spacious bedrooms, all en-suites, each featuring stunning bay views. Two of the rooms have king beds and one room has two doubles. There are additional sleeping options for kids with four twin blow-up mattresses and a pack & play crib available upon request.

COOKING FRIENDLY
Our fully-equipped kitchen, stocked with luxury amenities including a Vitamix, KitchenAid stand mixer with ice cream maker attachment, electric green pan, and Le Creuset 4.5 Qt pot, caters to those who cherish leisurely family meals. Additionally, our DeLonghi all-in-one coffee maker provides both cappuccino and drip-coffee brewing. The combined living room & dining area has a comfortable seating area, a dining table that seats 8-10 and a smart TV (the only one in the house).

SPACIOUS OUTDOOR LIVING & PRIVATE BEACH
The outside spaces and private beach are just as inviting. Relax on the screened porch, perfect for unwinding after dark, complete with a seating area, daybed, and card table. The refreshing bay breeze, enhanced by a ceiling fan, ensures comfort year-round while dolphin sightings are a common sight from this vantage point.The expansive patio is gated for the safety of furry friends and little ones, and we offer games and beach toys to keep everyone entertained. Enjoy the sunrise from the shared balcony or unwind on the expansive deck, equipped with lounge chairs, comfortable seating, a large dining table and two large umbrellas. Or, take the steps down from the deck and relax on the gorgeous private beach which is hard to beat! There are so many choices, it will be difficult to choose!

TIKI BAR
For those seeking a true break from the sun, our shaded seating area and 'secret' tiki bar await beneath the deck. Our beachside tiki bar, steps away from our private beach, features a sink, full-size refrigerator, commercial ice maker, and blender, creating the perfect spot for mixing up your favorite drinks, rain or shine.

About the host

Hosted by Leslie Carter Gregg

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, but have lived in Charlottesville, Virginia since 1992. We have three grown children and cherish our time with them. We own and operate a large tree nursery (Grelen Nursery) and European-Style garden shop (The Market at Grelen) in Somerset, VA. We found North Captiva in 2021 and our entire family has fallen in love with the island, where we now own two homes (one which we rent). We have thoroughly enjoyed renovating SweetWater Bay and are excited to start renting it so we can share this island oasis with others. It's a very special place indeed!

Why they chose this property

We love the private beach, the sunrises and the absolutely gorgeous view from every window! We also adore the island (especially the preserve!). Our favorite activities are biking to the end of the island, shelling and fishing!

What makes this property unique

It's directly on the water and has a private beach. It has been decorated and designed with comfort and family connections in mind. It's all about relaxing, being together and enjoying each other's company. What's not to love??
