A Colorful Captiva Vacation Rental - FREE DOLPHIN TO CRUISE

Welcome to Dancing Dolphin – A Colorful Captiva Vacation Rental in the Heart of the Village - FREE DOLPHIN TOUR WITH YOUR RENTAL!

Beautiful pool being installed - Estimated completion in November 2025!

Dancing Dolphin is your perfect Captiva Island vacation rental, nestled in the heart of Captiva Village. As you pull into the driveway, you’re greeted by the home’s namesake—a fun-loving dolphin in sunglasses that sets the tone for your laid-back island getaway. Just a short stroll to the beach, bay, restaurants, shops, and marinas, this colorful beach house has everything you need for an unforgettable escape. With a private outdoor elevator and stairs for easy access to the second-floor living space, getting in and out is a breeze. Punch in your code, turn the knob, and step into a spacious, sunny open-concept living area with soaringceilings and two cozy sitting zones. One is anchored by a wall of bookshelves, and the other by a comfy L-shaped section—ideal for movie nights or lazy afternoons. Off the main space, the Sea Turtle Bedroom features a king-size bed and charming coastal touches. Directly across is the Manatee Bedroom, decorated in soothing blue stripes with two low-profile twin beds—great for kids but worth noting for guests with mobility concerns. This bedroom opens up to the screened lanai, outfitted with seating for six, an outdoor table, a wall-mounted TV, and two swinging hammock chairs—your new favorite place for morning coffee or evening wine. The hallway bath is bright and cheerful with a playful “fishy” theme, and a nearby closet holds basic cleaning supplies (though we hope you won’t need them). The fully equipped kitchen makes dining a breeze. Everything is labeled and ready for you: a four-slot toaster, airfryer, blender, Keurig and drip coffee makers, and all the cookware you need. Gather around the dining table, which seats eight, for family meals, game nights, or fresh-caught seafood feasts. Seashell, the Master Suite offers a king-size bed, access to the lanai, and a private en-suite bath with everything you need to unwind after a day in the sun. Downstairs, the fun continues. The game room features a foosball table, pool/ping pong table, flat-screen TV, futon, and walls lined with vintage movie posters—a total hit with teens and nostalgic adults alike. A full bathroom with a
shower is conveniently located just off this space. An adjacent office offers a quiet getaway space with a desk, stationary bike, and hand weights. The laundry room includes a stackable washer/dryer, plenty of beach towels, and an air mattress for any extra guests. You’ll also find a gear room stocked with outdoor games, and all your Captiva beach essentials: two beachcarts, umbrellas, beach chairs, two paddle boards, boogie boards, sand toys, and more. The Sunset Bedroom downstairs features a queen bed and dresser—cozy, quiet, and the perfect place to recharge. Outside, a gas grill is ready for your catch of the day, and the home is just a quick walk to the beach down Laika Lane. Whether you’re shelling at sunrise, dining at the Mucky Duck or Bubble Room, or just soaking in the Gulf
breeze, you’re never far from what makes Captiva so magical. Sleeps 9 comfortably, which makes it perfect for families, couples, or a friends’ getaway.
