About this property

North Captiva Point House - Boat/Water Taxi Only **NEWLY RENOVATED **

****This property can only be accessed by boat or water taxi.****

The North Captiva Point House was built by Barnacle Phil and his wife Roberta Kinsey, in 1981. A true classic Florida beach house, it features great room with full kitchen, separate 'bunk house' and wide porches on all sides. Standing on a private peninsula at the entrance to Safety Harbor, every direction offers a spectacular view of the harbor, Pine Island Sound, Captiva Pass and beyond. Views to the east offer the rising sun or moon in breathtaking vistas. White sandy beaches skirt the buttonwoood and sea grape grove that surrounds the house. A private, protected deep water dock provides boats a safe berth. Outstanding fishing, birding and swimming are a given. In the still of the night, dolphin can be heard 'breathing' as they round the point in search of mullet, snapper and other food.

There simply is nothing else like it.

This property can only be accessed by boat or water taxi. The property does not come with a golf cart.

Excellent rental on it’s own private peninsula at the tip of the island. You definitely need a golf cart to get around. Saw dolphin and manatee from the dock daily. Communication with the host was seamless. Beds could use a mattress upgrade. That’s the only fault I could find. Would 100% return.

Absolutely breathtaking! I couldn’t get enough of the views. Sunrises were beautiful and to watch the storms rolling across the water was definitely a sight to see! The house had everything you needed and was super relaxing! We will definitely be back! The host was also super responsive which makes this home even better! Thank you for a wonderful week!

Great place to stay and the fishing was phenomenal. Only problem that me and my family had were that there wasnt a grill for us to use. Also we weren't prepared about there not being much convenience on that island at all but we'll know better for next time!!!

Private Point

Our stay with family here was wonderful. The home is beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped. The 360 degree water views were amazing, the beach was huge and private. Our boys loved the “separate” bunk/kids house and my husband greatly appreciated the deep water dock for the boat. We will definitely be back.

So relaxing!

Thank you for sharing your property with us! We had magnificent views—- including a full double rainbow 😍 the space was comfortable and clean and perfect for a long weekend getaway. We were able to easily access our boat to spend time on Cayo costa, lunch on cabbage key and a dip in the pool at the N. Captiva club. We didn’t need to use the bunk house, but would be perfect if we brought the kids! Thank you!!

Great service- thank you.

We had booked this property for 5 days in March, 2017. We had a family illness/death and had to cancel our reservation within a few weeks of our planned arrival. Rebecca was very accommodating and gave us a generous refund under the circumstances.

Amazing Property!!!

I'm in love with this property!!! The views in every direction are beautiful. I loved the wrap around porches. The house itself could use some updates but I would stay here again and again even with out the updates. The beds in the main house were soft & comfy. We stayed for a few days with our 3 young kids & our lab and my oldest said this was her all time favorite vacay she's ever been on. (She's been on alot of vacations). Amanda was the lady that checked us in, and she was super friendly and laid back. Thanks for an amazing vacation, can't wait to come back!

Great Location

The property has wonderful views from the wrap around deck and having a dock for our boat was definitely a plus. I would say that not having an actual bedroom and somewhere to hang your clothes was a little inconvenient. Just know that this property does not offer a golf cart and the rentals were too pricey. I didn't notice that when I booked it. Other than that we had a good time.

Idyllic Location!

Beautiful location, beautiful island! Had a great experience, owner's uncle met us upon arrival to make sure we were all set! Owner was very poor at answering my questions and communicating leading up to trip so I was a little nervous upon arrival, but everything worked out great! It should also be noted that this isn't really two bedrooms, it has two beds in the livingroom area and then a second bedroom that is completely unattached to main building. We were travelling with small children, so I think it's important to know what to expect as far as sleeping arrangements. Worked out fine for us though. Would definitely come again!!

Thanks for the review Jamie! I apologize if you feel that I was not attentive enough to you before your arrival. I manage my family's property for them on my spare time from having a full time job and 2 kids of my own. I'm glad to hear you had a great time though and hope you'll visit again.

Most unique and amazing experience

This home is without a doubt the most unique place my family has ever vacationed in. A boat is a must!! It was well worth the extra effort to bring our boat down. We were surrounded by water and beautiful views no matter where we looked. I told my friends we rented our own island!! It is easy to stay secluded or go exploring by land or sea to find a fun little restaurant or a hidden ice cream shop to surprise the kids with. My kids and husband loved the fishing and I got to enjoy some quiet time on that wonderful deck/porch. This home gives you a feeling of what old Florida was like... I really loved it and we cannot wait to go back!!

AMAZING!!!!

Amazing is not even a big enough word to describe the experience we had at the Point House on North Captiva. Breathtaking, relaxing, wonderful, simply put . . . perfect. There was a hurricane looming in the distance but we decided to chance it and hope for the best. We talked to Rebecca and she was amazing to work with and ready to be accommodating at every turn of events. Not only can I not say enough about this property but I can’t say enough kind words about her!!! Our vacation was more than we could have ever expected and our children loved every moment. We absolutely can’t wait to go back!!! Highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone!!! If I could have given everything 20 stars I absolutely would have because 5 just isn’t enough! Thank you Rebecca for everything you did to make our vacation so wonderful and for all of your help in the midst of a possible hurricane. I can say without a doubt you are truly an awesome person! Best place we’ve ever vacationed by far!!!

Perfect!

The Point House exceeded our expectations in all ways. It was spotless, great kitchen, fabulous beds and pillows. But the deck was the best! To be surrounded by water was a dream, watching the boats go by was fun… but the best part was seeing and hearing the dolphins!!! I cannot wait to get back!
