RESORT-LIKE AMENITIES! Beauty and the Beach has its own private boat slip available for guests arriving by their own boat or for those who choose to rent a boat. "Beauty's" privately-owned heated swimming pool is top notch. Play ping pong while hanging out and or grilling at the outdoor kitchen by the pool.

The view is amazing!

I don't think there is a better property on the island. The pool is very private. You are a short walk from the beach, and the sunsets are breathtaking. This property has it all!

Great Stay!

We had a great time at Beauty and the Beach! Very spacious house. Pool provided many hours of fun for our family. Proximity to the beach can’t be beat! Lots of beach towels provided. Shally’s did a great job supplying groceries ahead of time. While it seems expensive, it definitely makes arrival easier. North Captiva is so fun if you’re properly prepared!

Beauty And The Beach Review

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Beauty And The Beach. There were some initial issues due to Hurricane Debby, but they were ironed out before our arrival. It's a great location with a short private walk to the beach and a nearby sand bar. Our granddaughters loved the pool. Communication with the Property Managers could have been a bit better.

Thank you for sharing your experience at Beauty And The Beach. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful location, the private walk to the beach, and that your granddaughters had a wonderful time in the pool. We’re sorry for any concerns caused by Hurricane Debby before your arrival. Our property managers worked hard to address these challenges, offering to adjust your travel dates to avoid any weather-related disruptions. Communication is a top priority for us, and our property managers were in touch with you promptly before your stay. During your visit, we were informed of two issues: a leaking water valve outside, which was promptly addressed by the water maintenance team on island, and a minor water leak from the AC vents. While the AC unit itself was functioning properly, we scheduled the repair for after your departure to ensure minimal disruption to your stay. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an even better experience.

Beauty and the Beach is a beautiful home!

We enjoyed every second of our stay. We had 3 families with a total of 15 people. There is so much room in this house that we never felt crowded. The location has amazing views, the pool was a perfect place to cool off after a beach day. We loved having two golf carts to be able to sight see around the island and easily take fishing and boating items to the boat. No complaints here! If we had any items come up, property management was quick to respond and take care of things. I highly recommend this place and we will be back!

This location is fabulous. The view is stunning regardless of the time of day. You can see the sun rise on the Sound and set on the Gulf. The house was clean and everything that was promised stated was provided. The property management company was very helpful and responded expeditiously to a couple small issues we needed addressed. Our grocery order was packed to perfection, and every item was delivered. The elevator was greatly appreciated. It made getting our bags in and out a breeze. I do suspect the pictures used to advertise this house are probably from shortly after completion in 2013 as the owners have not maintained this property. It’s worn and in need of repairs. North Captiva is stunningly beautiful with clean beaches full of shells not people. The Island is quiet and peaceful. The lack of traffic and remote location is a great respite from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. It's really a special place with a plethora of wildlife both in and out of the water. Take bug spray and sunblock. It was a lovely week spent with family albeit the disappointing condition of house.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the stunning views and the peace and beauty of North Captiva, and that our team was able to help quickly whenever you needed anything. We also love hearing that the elevator and grocery delivery made your arrival and stay a little easier — that’s exactly what we hope for. Regarding the condition of the home, we do want to reassure you that the photos in the listing are current. The owners have made many updates since 2022, including refreshed interiors and new furnishings, to keep the home comfortable for guests. Because this is the first time we’ve received feedback about the home feeling worn, we genuinely appreciate you sharing your perspective. If you’re open to it, we would be grateful for any specific details about what felt in need of attention. We always want to continue improving and making sure every guest has the best possible experience. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. We’re so glad your family had a lovely week on the island, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
