✨ We Care Deeply
As the owner, I personally engage with all guests to ensure your experience is effortless, smooth, and full of joy. You will feel prepared, supported, and welcomed — before, during, and after your stay. Because North Captiva is a boat-access-only island, arrival planning is an important part of the experience. We’re here to guide you every step of the way so everything feels easy and seamless.
Our property managers will greet you upon arrival, assist with luggage and groceries, and help you get settled comfortably into the home. Complimentary luggage assistance is included when arriving via our preferred ferry provider, Island Girl Charters, with arrivals scheduled prior to 5:30 PM.
Arrivals after 5:30 PM or those using alternate ferry providers (including North Captiva Island Club ferry) may incur a $75 luggage assistance fee. Departure assistance is complimentary between 9:00 AM–3:00 PM; earlier departures may also incur a $75 fee.
North Captiva is a truly special and peaceful destination, intentionally slower-paced and wonderfully “old Florida.” It’s important when booking ferries or excursions to ensure they specifically service North Captiva, as it is a separate island from Captiva with different logistics.
We are always happy to help guide your planning so your arrival and stay feel relaxed, well-organized, and exactly as you imagined.

Loved this beautiful house right on a private beach with the comfiest beds I’ve stayed in on vacation. The owner was fabulous about communication and suggestions for food and making our stay wonderful. I would love to stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind review. It truly means a great deal to hear that you enjoyed the home, the beach, and especially those cozy beds — a good night’s sleep on vacation is one of the best luxuries. We’re so glad the communication and local suggestions helped make your stay easy and enjoyable. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing stay on the island.
Our family of 10 just returned from our week at Sea La Vie. We had a wonderful stay at this home! It was the perfect spot for us! Right on the calmest beach but minutes from the beautiful gulf beach. Home was super clean. Beds were so comfortable. Everything you would need is right there! I highly recommend this vacation home but save a week for me!

Thank you so much for your beautiful and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to know that Sea La Vie was a wonderful fit for your family and that you were able to enjoy both the calm bay and the beauty of the gulf. We take great pride in creating a space that feels welcoming, comfortable, and special, so your kind words mean more than you know.
What I appreciate just as much are the moments of connection along the way. Being able to share even a small part of your experience and connect through a place that brings people together is one of the most meaningful parts of hosting for me. Those interactions stay with me, and they are a big part of why Sea La Vie is so special.
It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and you will always be part of the Sea La Vie family. You are welcome back anytime…we would absolutely love to have you again.🏝️☀️
We visited Sea La Vie for our family vacation during the week of Spring Break and had an amazing stay. The property is beautiful and in an astonishing location right on the beach. Gorgeous sunrise views from the house and some of the best dolphin watching I’ve ever experienced. The house was clean and better than described. Both the owners and the property management team were incredibly helpful, respectful and responsive. Cannot recommend this property enough and we will definitely be returning in the future!

It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back again in the future. Until then, we hope those beach memories stay with you.🏖️⛱️☀️🐬
This was the perfect stay for our family vacation. Everything from the comfy beds to the private beach felt so luxurious! Highlights included seeing dolphins every day, the many games/activities (kayaking and Yahtzee was the kids' favorite), access to the pool club, and most of all the sunrises and sunsets. Leslie was the ultimate super host and very responsive to our needs. Would book Sea La Vie again!

Sea La Vie is a beautiful property! It was sad that we were there after hurricane damage, but we still loved our stay. We picked the right house!

Hi Tina, Thank you so much for staying at our home. We talked about the back to back hurricanes and thankfully our home had done well. Originally, we had thought about holding off on rentals until Thanksgiving week, but you had expressed that you really wanted to come and since the home was in good shape it worked out. FEMA is on its way to collect the debris piles from the homes that got damaged on island and with such widespread damage to the mainland, it takes a little longer to get them out to the island.
We are grateful to be beachfront with such beautiful views.
You are absolutely wonderful guests and we would love to have you back anytime. It is so special to get the opportunity to build relationships with the families like you who come to Sea La Vie and love it like we do. Hope to have you back soon!
Thank you again,
Leslie
Excellent place to stay with something for all ages. We had a wonderful time -right on the beach. The owner was great in helping organize every step of the trip to have it go smooth. Her personal contact was great and thoughtful. The house is beautiful and everything thought of that we could want. It was unanimous that we want to return! By far the best vacation rental we have stayed at. Thank you to the family for sharing their home!

Victoria, thank you so much for taking the time to send this wonderful review of our home and the island. I love your description saying that it is a magical place! I totally agree with you. Our family feels that same way when we are there too. There are very few places that you can have all the comforts we are so accustomed to yet be so charmed with the intimacy with nature and the quaintness of the barrier island. We will be ready when you want to come back to your place. Thank you again, Leslie & Jim
Our stay was exceptional! Leslie provided excellent planning tools well ahead of our arrival and was quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay! The house is beautiful, spacious, clean and packed full of amenities for a comfortable stay. During our stay, Shally’s Seashells property management was so helpful and responsive and such a great resource for our group! It is just footsteps off the deck to a private beach and the daily dolphin and manatee sightings was a special treat. We would love to visit the North Captiva Island Sea La Vie home again!

We are always happy to have you and your family back again Jen! You are the best!

Thank you very much Cindy!! We loved having you and your family as guests and appreciate your kind words. We also love being on the bayside of the island where it is a bit more secluded and private. The private beach helps to give you unobstructed views and lots of fresh air. Hope to have you back again . I will pass along your thanks to our Property Manager’s for their contributions, they work hard to make our guests feel welcome and taken care of during your time on the island.
Beautiful house, beautiful setting & beautiful people. The enthusiastic communication with the owners made our stay so much more enjoyable! We loved it!

Thank you so much Alisha. I love that you are local and found the charm of the island to make you feel whisked away. I always say that North Captiva is the most wonderful place in the USA to get that island feeling especially being beachfront! We are excited to have your family back again soon. Thank you so much for sharing.
It was more than you imagine. With a 4 year old, the water was not the big breaking waves were perfect for him to sit and play and he was able to interact with the adults. The house was beautiful. It was clean, and had anything you would need. The owner contacted us on Tuesday to make sure all was good. It does take some planning to get there and getting groceries there. The property managers are really helpful with helping get what you need. Our family would definitely stay again.

Cindy, thank you so much for your lovely review. One of the big reasons we purchased our home was because of the beach and the gentle water. We have a son with a disability, and so he is always in that young mindset. We feel so good knowing he can have some independence . The water is so shallow and being bayside, we don’t get that massive force of the wave., just the gentle ripples. It really is so perfect for families with young children and also just floating and relaxing.
We can’t wait to have you and your gang back again!
Thank you Cindy!
Everything was great at Sea La Vie! We had everything we needed between beach items to use, the 2 golf carts and a well stocked kitchen. It was nice to have extras like the beach chairs, umbrella, games, corn hole, ice maker etc. We really enjoyed the house and it was obvious the owners want their guests to feel comfortable and at home. We would love to return sometime and recommend Sea La Vie to others wanting a nice family vacation house on beautiful North Captiva.

Thank you so much Beth for the wonderful review. It’s so nice to hear your feedback about the extras. It’s very important to us to get the feedback about what items our guests find beneficial to having the best stay. I love making sure our guests have the extras. Thank you again for staying at our little slice of paradise.
We had the BEST week ever at Sea La Vie on North Captiva Island! I would absolutely recommend this spot, the perfect location for family. We saw beautiful sunrises, so many shells, starfish, dolphins and manatees. My son and husband enjoyed fishing off shore and we used the kayaks provided. Leslie was wonderful to work with, she took care of everything and the house was beautiful and organized with everything you need for a great stay. It really doesn’t get much better than this, we can’t wait to go back to this little slice of heaven!

You are an absolute joyful family to work with and I sure hope to welcome you back again to your slice of heaven!☀️🏖️🐬💕
From my communication with Leslie and the rental company, to the ease of ordering groceries, and the tranquility brought on from the moment we stepped on the island this was the easiest and best vacation my family and I have ever had. I wish I had words to describe every single moment of the week we spent at Sea La Vie! The experience of having a PRIVATE beach area all to ourselves, having someone meet us at the dock and load/ unload our suitcases into the house, walking into an immaculate house that was stocked with the groceries we picked out, having a private chef in a FULLY STOCKED kitchen left my family and I not wanting anything else in a dream vacation. Each bedroom has everything you need for your stay, there are so many beach towels, and everything inside and outside the house is in wonderful condition. Leslie and her family put so much thought into everything in and around the property to ensure that you will have your dream vacation!!!

My family and I had a wonderful vacation at Sea La Vie. The home is perfectly positioned beachfront with almost complete privacy. The water is full of sea life and beautiful shells. The logistics of an island vacation where a quick trip to a grocery store is impossible were made easy by the owners recommendations. Grocery delivery by Debbie was extremely helpful. The two golf carts provided also gave us the ability to explore the island and even pick up a paddle board for the week from Boats n fun. Five stars for Sea La Vie!

We ADORE her and having her do your groceries ahead of time makes your arrival to the island that much better. We hope you and your family will come back to your little slice of paradise! Thank you very much,

The house and location are beautiful. We rode the golf cart around the island daily and went to mangos for ice cream several times while we were there. My husband and sons caught tons of fish while my daughter and I explored with the kayaks or laid out in the sun.
Communication with the owner (Leslie) was wonderful. She contacted me about a month prior to our vacation and kept in contact with me throughout. She answered all of my questions and even ordered a game I had asked about and had it at the house for our stay!
North Captiva is definitely somewhere we will go again and it was one of our favorite family vacations

Thank you Jenny for your great review! It is such a pleasure to know our guests are happy and having fun. So much fun is driving the golf carts around on the island and exploring and as well with the kayaks. The water is usually peaceful on our side and you can get some great up close views of dolphin and manatee. Also it is so important to me to make myself available as a partner for planning while you are organizing your trip and then while you are on island, you get myself and our property management team! We always want that line to be open. You and your family are wonderful and we are so hoping you will come back again.🐬👙🏖️ thank you again for your special review.
Our family had a wonderful week at Sea La Via! Can't say enough good things! It is a beautiful house with amazing views including picturesque sunrises and dolphin sitings right off your own private beach. Leslie, the owner, couldn't be a better host. Very easy to communicate with and extremely helpful and informative. All of her recommendations were spot on from getting to the island, to groceries, etc. Tortuga, the management company, also made the arrival and departure process go very smoothly and was available if we needed anything while on the island. Paradise about sums it up! Would love to go back!

About the host
Hosted by Leslie Cowen
We have been traveling to North Captiva as a guest for several years as our family also has a another home here. We fell in love with the unique paradise qualities of the island. After many times of house hunting, we found our perfect home. For us, being able to walk out our front door and step directly on the beach is the best retreat. We are a family of 6 and now 3 of our 4 kids are adults. We are so thrilled to be able to gather here as a family and are excited to be able to share this home with others.
Why they chose this property
This property just stood out from the rest. Why else come to an island than to have unobstructed views of the beautiful beach and serene waters. We felt right at home with how open and bright the home feels. There is a comforting and peaceful essence to the home and you can not find a better view from any level. Walking out your front door and right to the beach was a top priority. Plus, I loved the island pink color!
What makes this property unique
Unique to our part of the island is the private beach. Here no one can camp out other than your group. We also have dolphin and manatee sightings almost daily. We take pristine care of our home and you get a very safe and well appointed home and top shape golf carts.
