About this property

🌀IAN Updated🌀 Private Pool/Hot Tub💦 Golf Carts 🚙 Pet Friendly 🐶 A+ Location

Complete exterior renovation completed March 2023

Welcome to our home on North Captiva Island. Remote and undiscovered, North Captiva Island is accessible only by ferry, private boat or small plane. This private island community is reminiscent of old Florida as it once was during a simpler time. There are no cars, no paved roads and no traffic jams (unless a turtle is crossing the road), just golf carts and a slower more relaxed way of living.

Over 2300 sq ft w/4 bedrooms (2 king suites) 3.5 baths and beds for 10 people. All stays include the use of 1 golf cart with the option to rent a 2nd cart. The multi-level floor plan providers plenty of space for everyone to spread out, make themselves at home and not feel cramped. All bedrooms and full baths are on the 2nd level with common areas and a half bath located on the 3rd level.

Looney Dunes was fortunate enough not to have any interior water damage from Hurricane Ian. The exterior of the house has been fully renovated with new siding, handrails, decking, fencing, stairs and screening.

Being that our home is independently managed we offer our guests a boutique travel experience, no unanswered phone calls, broken down golf carts or lost groceries. We take care of every aspect of your vacation to make it as relaxing and worry-free as possible.

Unlike so many vacation homes, we visit as much as possible so our home is just that, a home. We provide all the basics; paper towels, bath tissue, laundry detergent, soap, cooking supplies, spices, etc. Don't worry, you don't have to make that single roll of paper towels last all week! Our kitchen includes all the basic appliances and tools you need for the best family meals!

Welcome to Paradise, it's time to relax!

Please note that we have exterior security cameras monitoring the golf cart parking areas and ring doorbell cameras at both doors 📸

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful time staying at the property. This was our second time as a family to the island. The house was perfect for the eight of us. Plenty of room for everyone. We loved the porch areas and having two golf carts. Kale was excellent with communication. The location was a perfect walk to the beach. The house had everything we needed. We will be back!

Excellent from start to finish!
This is truly a special place that feels like home and you’re treated like family. Every interaction was appreciated. Questions answered, island caretakers so helpful. We really enjoyed our time and are discussing our return. There were 6 of us, 3 generations. (Teenagers, parent, grandparents.) Home was super spacious, with so many comfy seating areas. The kitchen was wonderful with loads of counter space and every utensil you could possibly need. Beds comfy, everything spotless. Location was also great. Proximity to beaches, Mangos and the hiking trail. Views of the sunsets were the icing on the cake. Didn’t mention the pool, hot tub, ping pong, darts….!? And golf carts!! This entire island and property will absolutely bring you some joy, peace and serenity. ❤️

Great place!
It was our first time to North Captiva and we loved it! Sarah meet us off the ferry and was so helpful to show us the house. Kale stopped by during the week to clean the pool and was very friendly as well. Tina checked in on us after we arrived to make sure we had everything. We did!! The house was very clean and well stocked with anything we could need. It was the perfect house and location for our group of two families. Would recommend this house and amazing island to anyone.

Relaxing at the beach
The property is all you could ask for and more for a fabulous beach getaway. The property manager was fantastic with any questions and issues. My family enjoyed the pool and fast access to the beach. The house is equipped with chairs and everything needed for the day spent on the beach. Communication was great for information on groceries and fishing, thank you! Its a great place to stay on Upper Captiva and enjoy a stress free vacation. Thank you to the owner and manager for making it outstanding.
