About this property

WOW! THE ULTIMATE LUXURY BEACH FRONT HOME with FULL PRIVATE GULF FRONT BEACH!

Castadiva Beach! The Italian love story that transcends with beauty and luxury in your own fully renovated beach paradise! This cathedral ceiling beach home is complete with three beautiful bedrooms, two full bathrooms, gorgeous living room, full kitchen with Italian appliances, fire pit outside with Restoration Hardware furniture, central A/C, outdoor shower spa, four TVs, and premium Wi-Fi, wraparound deck with full Gulf views, four new bicycles, brand new outdoor grill, dated access to Lemon Bay AND A PRIVATE BEACH owned by Castadiva Beach (1/3rd acre)only for you about 150 steps away from front door!Castadiva is a peaceful beach location, but please know we are always making our island more beautiful, which is hard to do! Therefore, we never know when renovating/remodeling or rebuilding could happen. It is something the Host cannot control, of course. Presently, the land in front of this amazing beach home is undergoing rebuilding from H Milton. We empathize, because they lost everything. Please be aware there may be construction and rebuilding of their beach home. Thank you for your understanding.

We had a magical time with our friends at Castadiva. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything we needed to make memories to last us forever. The beds are comfortable, the towels are luxurious and the appliances and gas BBQ are top notch. We really loved the private beach access where we spent days hunting for shark teeth and were lucky enough to be visited by a pod of dolphins twice ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Cindy is the MOST amazing Super Host and went the extra mile to make sure our stay went smoothly and we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to visit beautiful Castadiva again.

TIna!!! We miss you!! Your review was so kind and you mentioned so many wonderful things that completed your vacation!! I’m really happy you thought I was a good Super Host for you all! Vacationers like you make my job all worthwhile! Thank you for choosing CASTADIVA and I promise to greet you in person when you return! And the dolphins out in front will also greet you! They haven’t left our private beach shore and I’m pretty sure we’ll get some mama turtles laying her eggs there, as well. Also, remember the beach nourishment will be happening soon and that will make our quiet beach even wider and larger. Hurry back. Sunset reminder time at CASTADIVA tomorrow is 8:10pm 💕🌅 Cynthia!

The home and private beach property were absolutely gorgeous! We really enjoyed soaking in the sun on the beach during the day and relaxing by the fire pit on the chilly December nights. Cynthia was incredibly responsive to all of my questions, and we hope to return to this beautiful place again soon!

According to the description we were expecting a nice ocean view - disappointed to see only the back of houses in front of the property. Quite a hike to the beach, would be tough for anyone with mobility issues. Bedroom 3 is the laundry room & small bed. Microwave didn’t work. Could use more cookware. Host was very attentive & house clean. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms are nice.

Thank you for your review. Allow me to respond to your concerns. First, a brand new microwave was ordered and delivered immediately , as I am the Host who takes listens and jumps on any request. Everything from Pack and Play to a new refrigerator. I’ve been a host since 2019 and have 263 5-star reviews. The land connected to our beautiful renovated , large beach home never belonged to our land. However, the over 1/3rd acre prime beach land comes with our beach house. That is where our home was taken by Milton and now is private land on the beach for all our guests. The walk is 1-2 minutes and three house away. Adorned with large new fire pit and logs, RH beach furniture and we even supply fishing poles, kayak, shark tooth rakes, beach wagon and canopy, Adirondack beach chaises and bikes. I always provided the little diagram and photos to show how close and easy the beach access is. We also offer a private one month old dock on Lemon Bay for watching manatee for launching our kayak provided for you. I really hope you spent some time there, it’s beautiful. I hoped for better communication from you and I would have helped with any concern. Even though we are not first row on beach home, we provide a full prime beach land/ lot for our guests and still offer an affordable option, where otherwise “on beach” would be at least triple in cost. You will always be welcomed back to our piece of paradise, like Olde florida used to be. Peaceful and a private beach not well traveled.

We will give you perfect Hosting and the serenity and peace that Castadiva Beach offers! And the private Gulf front beach area for only Castadiva! ( and Lemon Bay access ).

The host is amazing. She goes above and beyond, very attentive. The house is not beach front. There are two large, fenced homes under construction blocking ocean. View from the porch is those homes and workers so we kept shades closed. We were disappointed to find the private beach was down the road. The fire pit wasn't in the yard, it's at the beach. Host manages AC and guests must text her to have temp adjusted. The house is nicely decorated. Ice maker and microwave wouldn't work. No ROKU remotes for TVs. Very nice host, disappointing views.

We had an amazing stay at Cynthia’s property in Englewood. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and exactly what we were hoping for the perfect place to relax, enjoy the beach, and take in those incredible sunsets.The property was comfortable, well cared for, and had everything we needed for a great vacation. What really stood out, though, was Cynthia herself. She was thoughtful, kind, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Her communication made us feel appreciated as guests, and you can tell she truly cares about the people who stay there.We would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend Cynthia’s place to anyone looking for a relaxing Florida getaway. Five stars all the way.

Dear Bronson. Thank you so very much for the kindest review I believe I have ever received in all these years of being Host! But what is most important is how people like you make all my hard work and all my Team’s ( since 2021) hard work all worth it. To say that you were so appreciative and communicative and one of the nicest people ever, is not enough. Thank you so much for Loving CASTADIVA and making new friendships! You will always have “ Red carpet welcome” when you return! Always! Your friend, Tara, Hailie, Sandra, John and Cynthia😊Hurry back. Sunset Time tonight 8:27 pm🌅

The property listing: WOW! THE ULTIMATE LUXURY BEACH FRONT HOME with FULL PRIVATE GULF FRONT BEACH!This is not a beach front home; there is literally a street and other homes between this residence and actual beach / water. The “private” gulf front beach is not a beach, it is a dirt lot (which had actual concrete blocks/debris in it), it is also surrounded by other homes… so ZERO privacy. There is no beach access from this lot unless you want to traverse over a rock barrier wall…. And if you use the neighbor’s “private” stairs to get to the water, there is zero beach (sand) to even put a chair on to sit and enjoy the sun. You literally have to pack all your items up and drive down the road to enjoy an actual beach with sand beneath your feet. The home is lovely, the communication was on point. It should be noted that there are multiple homes under construction surrounding this home. Literally right outside the front door is banging, hammering, loud music. Walking to explore the beach / private beach, both my teenage daughters were stared at the entire walk by construction workers. This is a nice home, this is a fine location. It is NOT beach front… and it does NOT have a private beach. I will do my very best to seek a refund for the days I was not there, My family and I left after being there for about 2 hours.
