Great location and house! The owner is extremely responsive and the property management group goes above and beyond. We had some minor issues with Wifi and supplemental heat (unfortunately needed it the time we were there) and the reactions from both the owner and property management group were immediate with quick resolutions. Our family had an amazing trip - we highly recommend this house and overall location.

We have been visiting North Cap for two decades. We have stayed in many different properties all over the island. This property is well maintained. The layout is family friendly. The kitchen is one of the most stocked kitchens as far as equipment, cookware, utensils, storage dishes etc. the main living space makes for perfect family time as it is central to the home. This house is in a very quiet area on the island. Golf cart worked great. Nice tables for outdoor dining. Nice large TV off the main living area deck. The management company who manages your arrival, provides an excellent service. They communicate responsively. Have a great guide in the home. Made excellent recommendations. After experiencing their services we will be only considering homes they manage in the future. Trust me, a great owner and management company make for a successful island trip! Well done Barefoot Hideaway!

Relaxing Get Away

This property was perfect for our family Spring Break. It was very clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and they had plenty of beach and bathroom towels etc. We expired a flat tire with the golf cart and the management company was very responsive and resolved the issue in no time. We loved North Captiva Island, it is definitely a hidden gem! The island provides so much character and is the perfect get away to relax and enjoy family time.

Island Paradise

This house has everything you need and more. The house is beautiful inside and out as well as the beaches. Beautiful sunsets and lots of dolphins to watch from shore. We also enjoyed the manatees at the docks. Please know there is still a lot of debris from Hurricane Ian that needs to be cleaned up. It was very sad to see so much devastation.

Perfect Family Vacation

This property was better than expected. It was exactly as described, and was perfect for our family getaway. The house is very well appointed, kitchen well-stocked, and enjoyed the sunrise and sunset views from the roof top deck. Property manager, Ally, was timely and thorough in her communication. Skippy helped us get to and from the ferry and house. He even went above and beyond, and gave me a bottle of bug spray to protect us from the no see ems, which is a must if visiting the island in August. Will visit in North Captiva Island again and stay at this property if available.

Relaxing, beautiful island

The house is exactly as described. The kitchen had everything we needed. Ally was immediately responsive to answer my questions before and during our stay. They selected exactly the groceries we requested and delivered and stocked the house with care. Arrival and departure were simple thanks to Ally’s team. My husband helped two families during our stay find their way around the island because they didn’t have attentive property managers like we did. We loved everything about it! Thank you!!!

Enjoyed our spring break!

Although we had a few hiccups during our stay I have to say communication was excellent and quick! The house itself is very comfortable and well equipped. The only complaints I prob have is there is no private bathroom in the master which I may have missed in the description, some the beach equipment was broken and/or dirty and I also may have missed it but I didn’t see anywhere where you were warned the island is still trying to rebuild so there is a lot of construction, debris and trash, it broke my heart to see how it was affected…but I have no doubt in no time it will be back to normal! The management company does an amazing job communicating and getting back to you fast…I think a lot of what happened was just do to the busyness of the season! This island never disappoints and we will definitely be back!

We were incredibly comfortable at this well-appointed property. No detail has been overlooked, this is one of the nicest short-term rentals we've stayed. We traveled as a larger group; my siblings rented another property a few doors down and Barefoot Hideaway was far superior. The beds are comfortable, it's clean and updated, the location is quiet and convenient. We would absolutely rent this property again.

The property was really nice! Clean, beds very comfortable, kitchen well stocked. Plenty of beach chairs and towels (nice ones!) for us to use! Golf cart was great! NCIC membership is great for paddle board, bike or kayak rental! Only knock I would give is that the property managers were not as easy to work with as in past experiences. I would highly recommend North Captiva and this property!

Perfect Getaway!!

Our family was looking for a beach vacation that was more secluded and not crowded. This was the PERFECT place for our family to reconnect, relax and refocus on spending quality time with family. The house was absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything you could need. The property managers made it an ease getting to the house from the ferry and were very friendly and accommodating. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here!! Our family will definitely be back!!

Nice property on first visit to an interesting island

Comfortable stay for our family of 5 including 3 boys (14, 13, 8). Clean and spacious. No major issues during our stay. We took Pine Island taxi from airport, stopped for Publix instacart order, and used Island Girl ferry. All pretty smooth. Traffic was not an issue for us on taxi (about 50 mins) but apparently sometimes heavy through Mattlacha, so plan accordingly. Property management, Shally's Seashells, responsive to a couple of our questions - seemed reliable for check in and check out. They even accommodated us to stay late on check out because no renters arriving that day - really helped us relax on our last day with flight leaving late... Location a 4 because, not a beach front property, but ok with us. Beaches all around, including either end of air strip. Being on north part of island, usually had to travel around air strip to go places but not huge issue on this small island. Would be a long walk to NCIC. There was 1 available golf cart - it was reliable and fit our family ok, even with some beach gear. We did rent another through NCIC for a couple days. Widow walk top of house nice, but limited view of water. House close to Mainstay which is good place to visit, also where Island Girl ferry docks. Not a bad cart ride to NCIC, about 5-6 mins. Wi-Fi on property worked well. Verizon service (phone and internet) for iPhone 11 spotty on island which was annoying (i.e. tried to look up Over the Waterfront restaurant and fishing charters while sitting at NCIC pool one day, but unable to search and make calls). Overall would recommend this property. Thank you to owner and Shally's Seashells!

Footprints in the sand at the Barefoot house

Where do I start? The house was beautiful in the pictures and from the moment I booked our vacation I knew it would be perfect. The property manager was extremely helpful making sure we were prepared for our island getaway. Our flight was delayed flying in and they graciously helped adjust the changes with the travel from the airport to the island. The house was absolutely beautiful with the airy openness one would expect on an island. We felt at home immediately! The screened porch was perfect for hanging out in the evening and the view from the top deck was breath taking. The house was stocked amd had every amenity we could have ever needed. It was the perfect location. The house was nestled in beautiful natural surroundings. It was a short walk to the beach and at night the waves could be heard. It was everything I imagined it to be!! We will definitely be booking it again for our trip next year!

Longtime visitor first time reviewer.

We have been coming to NCI for years and I finally found a home worthy of a review. Well, to be fair the Island is worthy every time, but it never asks me to leave a review, and this was the first trip I rented the house. I want to give a huge thanks to the home owners and Shally's Seashells. They went above and beyond from pick up to drop off. If Shally's couldn't help (like with the Nest) the homeowner was in contact within minutes to assist. They also suggested some really awesome excursions to do and fun events to check out for the Islands 100th Birthday. So if you have never stayed on an Island, getting a hold of the property management company is like going to the DMV and taking a number. But to have the assistance of them and the homeowner within minutes is unheard of. (Big Deals #1 & 2) Great job guys! Now Back to the house. (I wish I was) This house feels like a home, it's so calm and inviting with the perfect amount of everything. You can tell the home owners have not only put thought into everything but a lot of love as well. It is perfect for small or big groups, the outdoor space is as large and furnished as the indoor space, and just as clean. Making this Big Deal #3 The front porch should be listed as a second living room. There is a full set of comfortable (Big deal #4) outdoor living room furniture, rocking chairs, propane grill (so don't buy charcoal like we did) and this awesome large wood cooler that saved us a lot of trips up stairs. It was great for Ice delivery while we where out or inn but didn't want to take it up, it also doubled as a nice bar (Big deal #5) Coming in from the "Front porch living room" is a full bathroom with laundry. (Big Deal #6) When we did finally make it off the porch and upstairs it was perfect. Large dinning room table, huge island in the kitchen with bar chairs across the entire front of it. The furniture is clean, comfortable, and in great condition (Big Deal #7) The bedrooms are large and the beds are so comfortable, they even have tons of extra pillows and blankets (Big Deal #8) The kitchen has everything, you could do your thanksgiving dinner here. (Next time I'm bringing a ham. also Big Deal #9) They even have the reverse osmosis water system. (Big Deal #10) The best view from the house is watching the sunset off the top deck. But if you want to see it from the beach its a1min golf cart ride in a new golf cart. (Big Deal #11) This place gets 11 stars from us and we will be back!

First family vacay to North Captiva Island

This was my family's first visit to North Captiva Island. It was a wonderful adventure and everything was super smooth despite several legs of travel, to include a plane, a taxi, and a ferry. Even with Tropical Storm Fred trying to make it's way toward us, it was still really great and super remote and everything we were looking forward too in this vacation! The owner was quick to respond and the property manager, Ally, was helpful in giving us ideas for other activities to do before we arrived. I will say, the reason I rated it a four, is because it is a beach place and I expected better beach things available to us! Two of the beach chairs that we saw at the house were broken and we reported it within the first several hours of our arrival, and they brought two rusty old chairs to us a couple of days later. There were only two small umbrellas that are real flimsy and one had a broken hole, so you couldn't screw it into the sand at all. This house is the first we have rented that provided towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, and paper towels, so that was super handy that we did not have to pack those things as well. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others, just need to update your beach gear!

The Perfect Secluded Getaway

The aptly named, Barefoot Hideaway, offers guests a chance at a tranquil vacation while still feeling like home. North Captiva Island is known for its beautiful, unadulterated beaches and laid-back attitude, and this home fits right in with that vibe. The house is tucked away and secluded by beautiful trees but is only minutes away by golf cart (included with the vacation rental) to any of the island’s attractions. The home has been recently remodeled and features an open floor plan, with a fully stocked kitchen, washing machine and dryer, and clean, modern furnishings. We found everything we needed to feel at home and prepare our meals while on vacation – from a gas grill, right down to the silverware. The property managers helped us from start to finish to load and unload our luggage and food from the ferry all the way to the house, gave us a tour, and were even available to deliver fresh fish straight to our refrigerator! We also appreciated that there was access to beach chairs, an umbrella, and even sand toys for the kids. We really had everything we needed to make this vacation stress-free and special. And for days when you want a change of pace from the beach, we loved spending time at the North Captiva Island Club’s facilities, which were also included with this rental. The two pools, pool bar and grill, tennis courts, ping pong table, and kayaks were a quick golf cart ride from the house and were not usually very crowded. We were able to see dolphins, manatees, gopher tortoises, and collect tons of shells all near the house. This was an unforgettable trip for our entire family. I would highly recommend both North Captiva Island and Barefoot Hideaway if you’re looking for a relaxing beach vacation away from the stress of life!
