No cars, no crowds, just island time.

About the host

Hosted by ownerRez

Host profile image
We are the founders of Tortuga Paradise, proud to host travelers on beautiful car-free North Captiva Island, where we share our passion for island living and unforgettable family vacations.

We're a passionate, adventure-loving family who discovered North Captiva by serendipity in 2017 and instantly fell in love. Since then, the island has become a cherished part of our lives and family traditions.

While my husband works as a landscape contractor in Michigan, I serve as a pediatric RN at the University of Michigan. Together we balance our careers with our greatest joy, time with our family of five children (ages 15 to 36), three sons-in-law, one daughter-in-law, and four grandchildren. Traveling together has been the foundation of our best memories.

We are deeply committed to preserving the beauty and uniqueness of North Captiva. We support island conservation and community efforts, including educational signage, infrastructure improvements, and sustainable beach access projects that protect this special place for future generations.

Our home is your home. We hope you experience the magic, peace, and tropical beauty of North Captiva Island as deeply as we have.

Why they chose this property

Why Tortuga Sunset Stands Out
• Newer construction (2021) modern, bright, spacious
• 3 King master suites, all with private ensuites (rare on the island)
• Larger square footage than most 3BR island homes
• Private heated saltwater pool + spa (not shared)
• 6-passenger golf cart included (many homes charge extra)
• Gulf sunset views from the screened lanai
• 5.0 rating | Top 10% of homes

Guests consistently mention the cleanliness, smooth check-in, spacious design, and how peaceful this car-free barrier island feels.

What makes this property unique

Why North Captiva Island?

A true car-free barrier island. No bridge, no cars, no crowds, the ferry ride over is when vacation begins.

Florida's best shelling. The Captiva island chain is world-famous for shelling. Walk uncrowded beaches and fill your bucket with treasures.

Untouched nature. Dolphins offshore, herons in the mangroves, sea turtles in season, this is Old Florida, unspoiled.

Built for family reunions. Slow days, sunset dinners, golf cart adventures, and time together without distractions.

Real peace and privacy. Accessible only by ferry, boat, or small plane, North Captiva offers something increasingly rare: genuine escape.
