Surrounded by protected preserve with only one nearby home, it offers rare privacy and a true “away-from-it-all” experience. Days flow easily between beach walks, dolphin sightings from your kayak or paddleboard, and stargazing at night.
Inside, the home blends laid-back coastal style with subtle luxury. Each of the three queen ensuites offers beautiful water views, the premium kitchen invites cooking together, and multiple decks and hammocks are ideal for relaxing. What truly sets this home apart is its thoughtfully designed solar-powered infrastructure. Powered by a Tesla solar energy system and paired with Starlink high-speed WiFi, the home offers a unique opportunity to experience modern island living in harmony with its natural surroundings. It’s a more intentional approach to coastal living—combining renewable energy, thoughtful design, and modern connectivity in an extraordinary remote setting. Guests can settle into the rhythm of island life while still enjoying the comforts and connection that make an extended stay feel easy.

2. Trusted, award-winning host
Book with confidence. Your stay is managed by a highly experienced, responsive host team with over 2,000 five-star reviews and recognition as one of Airbnb’s top-quality hosts in North America. Guests consistently rave about the care, communication, and seamless experience.

Arrive by boat, breathe in the salt air, and embrace an unplugged coastal lifestyle. Bike along the beach, explore nature trails, paddle calm waters, or enjoy laid-back island restaurants and sunset cocktails — everything you need for an unforgettable escape is within easy reach.
Guest Access:
Bring your own boat, rent one, or we’ll help coordinate a private water taxi directly to our dock. The entire home is yours, with the exception of a small owner storage area on the lower deck. The expansive Gulf beach is just steps away.
The Neighborhood:
North Captiva Island is a private, boat-access island home to just over 350 houses—offering an experience that feels worlds away from the everyday. With miles of unspoiled beaches, world-class shelling, birdwatching, incredible fishing, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s a place where true relaxation comes naturally.
The island spans only four miles in length and about half a mile at its widest point, yet nearly 50% is protected nature preserve owned by the State of Florida. Guests have access to miles of scenic hiking trails and some of the most secluded, untouched white sand beaches in the state.
Though small, the island offers just the right amount of convenience: a short e-bike ride away you can access three restaurants (two casual, one more upscale), an Island Market for essentials, and an ice cream shop. For a more personalized experience, several excellent private chefs and wonderful boating and fishing charters are available!
With no cars, North Captiva feels like a true escape. It’s a one-of-a-kind destination—unlike any vacation you’ve ever taken, and perfect for making lifelong memories!!
Getting Around:
Enjoy the convenience of two e-bikes, provided exclusively for your use throughout your stay—making it easy to explore the island and take in its stunning surroundings.
Other Things to Note:
• SOLAR-POWERED ISLAND HOME: Sandbar Escape is powered by a thoughtfully designed off-grid solar energy system. Most of the time, the home operates much like a traditional residence, but because it relies on solar energy, weather conditions can occasionally affect available power. Mindful energy conservation is part of the experience, and the level of conservation needed may vary depending on the time of year, weather patterns, and available sunshine.
• Sandbar Escape is located in the peaceful Foster’s Bay area of North Captiva Island, offering a private, nature-forward setting away from the busier north end of the island. This portion of the island is not accessible by golf cart, which is part of what keeps it so quiet and secluded. To make exploring easy, we provide two e-bikes, perfect for cruising up island to restaurants, shops, and additional beach access. It’s about a 10-minute ride by e-bike or a scenic 30-minute walk along the beach. We love this location for its privacy, natural beauty, and wonderfully relaxed pace.
• This home in front of Sandbar Escape is under construction.
• Beach awareness: A small nearby section of beach is occasionally clothing-optional. It is typically quiet, lightly used, but we want families to be aware in advance.
• Air travel: Fly into Fort Myers (RSW) or Punta Gorda (PGD).
• Private water taxi: Direct service to and from our dock is available. We’ll provide contact and booking information after confirmation.
• Grocery services: Pre-arrival grocery shopping and kitchen stocking are available. We’ll provide contact and booking information after confirmation.
•Hot tub: While there is a hot tub on the property, it is not included as a standard amenity and guests should not plan their stay around its availability. However, when weather and energy conditions are favorable, we’re happy to turn it on for you—just ask!
Interaction with Guests:
Our team is always just a message away—ready to answer any questions or handle anything that comes up during your stay. We’re here to ensure every detail is seamless, so you can relax and enjoy a truly perfect island getaway.
