SPRAWLING PRIVATE BEACHFRONT - Sleeps 10, perfect for a family, 2 golf carts

Welcome to SEA LA VIE beach house, your luxurious home away from home at the shore. Our private 4 bedroom beach house offers fantastic panoramic views of the water with a spectacular & pristine swimming beach. Enjoy the gentle surf while relaxing on the sugar sand bayside beaches and watch the dolphins frolic just offshore.

No need for dolphin excursions when you get them daily from your beach! You have a serene shallow beach front with sparkling white sand to claim as your own, snorkel from, and search for shells. Lots of starfish hangout in this area and you can see them dusting the bottom below you. Just steps from the house is the perfect setting for the best beach vacation ever. When you are done on the beach, jump in the golf cart and ride over to the North Captiva Island Club. Included in your stay, you have access to two pools, hot tub, pool bar ( you pay for your personal consumption) tennis, basketball court, kayaks, paddle boards, fat tire bikes and more. Spend time on your beach or go socialize with other islanders. We also have of 2 single kayaks that are just for our property and allow you to launch right from our private beach on a whim.

SEA LA VIE is a tropical island paradise located on North Captiva, just 3 miles offshore, part of the Lee Island Coast Barrier chain. North Captiva Island is only accessible by conveniently scheduled ferry boats or with private water taxi. Just note that if you are driving, you will park your vehicle in one of the secured ferry lots before boarding the delightful short ferry ride over to the island. You will see lots of birds and sea life on your trip over. If you are lucky, you will even catch a dolphin or two in the wake.

This private island community is one of a kind. Quaint sandy trails and roads lead you around the island with tropical plants and palm trees lining both sides, you will feel as if you have been whisked away to another world. Here you find no cars or city noise. Explore the island by golf cart and bikes. Two golf carts are provided for your use and will be waiting when you arrive, along with a personal concierge to assist you with your luggage and get you set up for a perfect week (or more) in paradise. We have a property manager on island to assist when you have a need, but as the Owner, I directly engage with all of our guests. Pre-arrival, I send out a planning packet. You do not have to worry about the logistics of figuring out how to get from the airport to a ferry, groceries and more… we have a simple, step-by-step guide with easy to follow and trusted partners to make your vacation perfect. I work hard to make sure our guests that stay in our home have all their questions answered and feel prepared to arrive without stress. My goal is to make this as easy as possible for you and your family.

We want you to feel at home while you are staying at SEA LA VIE. You have 2,600 sq ft under A/C with more than 4,200 sq ft of living space, including open decks on both floors and a covered veranda on the main level. The home is furnished perfectly for casual island living, including updated tile floors and comfortable furniture. All 4 bathrooms have been completely updated with full size custom vanities, custom shower/bath tile work and a stunning rare Brazilian stone vanity tops. Each of the three master bedrooms have their own private full size bathroom. New in December of 2023 is a full walk in, custom tiled, oversized shower in the Vip Tranquility Suite bathroom.

One of the most special features unique to our home an expansive and unobstructed beach all for your enjoyment. No dragging chairs and coolers, just walk off your front steps onto your beach. It is yours for the week. This part of the beach is private and very close to North Captiva's famous Dolphin Beach. The area is a perfect spot to relax, float, and swim. It is ideal for families with children of all ages. We have sand toys and plenty of chairs that you can leave out during your stay. Another wonderful feature of the SEA LA VIE beach is that even during high tides, you still have a large beach to play. You can stay beachside all day without losing your sand castles. When you need a sun break, simply walk to our beach level entertainment area where you will find lounging furniture, beach games, a full size refrigerator/ freezer, commercial ice maker that makes 100 pounds of ice per day, Weber grill and an additional dining table for 8.

We hope you enjoy cooking and will use this week to try new foods and experiment with local flavors. The kitchen is set up for foodies with the equipment you need to make a gourmet meal or something simple. You have an outdoor Weber grill (propane included) to create your next bbq masterpiece by the sea. We can even arrange to have you set up with a private chef for a spectacular beachside private dining experience. No detail is left behind. We have all new updated kitchen items, you will not be disappointed. We even have a pink KitchenAid stand mixer to make creative and fun meals. At the beach level, SEA LA VIE offers an extra full-size refrigerator to keep all your drinks ready & cool. A whole house REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM which offers clean and tasteless fresh water out of every spigot, even showers. That means no need for bottled water to lug in or spend extra money. We have plenty of reusable cups and tumblers so you can reload and go! Even our outdoor beach level ice maker is producing diamond quality ice!

For interior home entertainment, you have 3 smart tv's with YouTube TV and high-speed, Starlink Wi-Fi. We are fully stocked for family game nights at the beach, plus plenty of books and movies to enjoy. Hunt for shells and make take-home crafts.

Your sleeping accomodations are comfortable and updated. The upstairs VIP Tranquiltiy Suite comes with a king bed and en-suite bathroom. This suite boasts a one of a kind beach and water view . The Tranquility Suite opens to two private decks where you can watch the sunrise over the sound, sit, and enjoy your morning coffee in the lounging Pollywood chairs. The rear deck provides for a view of the sunset over the harbor. Adjacent to the spacious master bedroom en-suite bath is a nursery/toddler room which is equipped with both a crib and a toddler bed (all linens for both supplied) including a baby bath and audio baby monitor.

Two more master suites with king beds and memory foam mattresses are on the first floor. They each offer en-suite baths, a pack & play, and have access to the spacious main living level decks. All 3 King suites all have sliding glass doors so you can step outside onto decking and get instant views and fresh air privately.

The Kids Crew Bunk room is equipped with 3 single beds and a moveable mattress with linens to add in a 4th guest. This room is sure to get the giggles going from the kid crew! There is a conversion kit that can turn two twins into a king for that specific room.

All rooms are furnished with premium linens and fresh absorbent towels. The three fully renovated bathrooms have complimentary soap, shampoo, and hair conditioner. Hair dryers are included in all bathrooms. Additionally, there is a half bath on the main level and an outdoor shower on the beach level.

The main level has a laundry room with a Samsung front load washer and dryer for your use. We provide complimentary laundry pods as well.

Lastly, we are committed to protecting your privacy and security. Outside of the home, we have security monitoring while still protecting your privacy inside the home. The device is located on the exterior of the home monitoring the exterior trash area, the front door, the supply room on the beach level and above the golf cart parking station as well as the entrances to the property. All data is deleted when not needed. These are only used for security purposes.

Inside the home is an Alexa Show device and a baby monitor. Both devices may be deactivated if not desired. The Alexa Show is located on the credenza at the rear of the dining area. The baby monitor is stored in a box in the baby room and is available but not plugged in.

At this time, we do not permit parties, events or weddings on the property so we ask that no unregistered guests stay or visit the property without prior approval.

SEA LA VIE is the perfect place to call home for your family. You will not be disappointed.

Best time ever!!!

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!

Beautiful beach house

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.

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

Best vacation EVER!!

We all had a fantastic, relaxing vacation! We were two families with adult kids and could not have asked for more. The beachfront location was perfect, the amazing home had everything we could possibly need and more. The great communication from Leslie, the home owner throughout the booking and leading up to our stay was spot on!Leslie alleviated all the stress of traveling to the island. She offered a variety of options and recommendations for transportation to/from the airport, how to purchase groceries to ensure they get delivered to the island and things to do during our stay. The house had everything anyone would need. It was very clean, had plenty of room for everyone and very comfortable for all of us. The private beach right at the house was great and we soaked up the sun, relaxing there each day watching the dolphins and manatees go by. We took in incredible sunrise views from the beach at the house and headed to Sunset beach across the way to catch the beautiful sunsets as well! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our trip to capture it all. I highly recommend the location, the home and Leslie Cowan, who you can trust will ensure you’re well informed of everything you’ll need to know before spending a week on North Captiva Island. Wishing I could score this with at least 10 stars!!!!

Incredible beach front property, even better host!

I’ve been traveling to North Captiva for many years and this is one of the best properties I’ve stayed at. The house is beautiful, very carefully maintained, and provided ample accommodations for our entire family, adults and children alike. This would also be a great place for a first time visitor to North Cap because of the knowledge the host, Leslie, openly shares to help make your trip more enjoyable. Planning for and traveling to North Captiva is more involved than a standard beach vacation, but Leslie was there to provide excellent recommendations every step of the way. From car services and ferry schedules, to food and drink recommendations, anything and everything you can think of, Leslie had it covered. Her communication was excellent before, during and after the trip. We highly recommend Sea La Vie for your next 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!

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.

Unbelievable Home, Nothing Short of Spectacular

I could write volumes, and volumes, and volumes about how special this home is. The pictures online capture it accurately but don't capture the special feel on this property. We traveled with our big family of 7 with kids ranging in age from 3 to 19 and had a spectacular time. The home is clean, well-equipped, and has everything you should need. The only part of the experience that was better than the home, was the communication with the owner and the management of the property. Leslie (owner) and the Tortuga team are without doubt the best! It is by far the best experience we have had with the owner and management team at any VRBO we have stayed at, and we have stayed at a few. Thank you Leslie, and Tortuga. GREAT GETAWAY!

AMAZING

What an amazing property! We spent a wonderfully relaxing week in Sea La Vie. The property was clean and beautifully decorated with a private beach right out the front door. Lots of things to do such as collecting shells, walking the beaches and the preserve, playing cornhole, riding bikes and of course watching dolphins swim right out front. Plan on cooking in the well-stocked kitchen or grilling fresh seafood that you picked up in Matlacha. Rest well on very comfortable king sized mattresses. The owner and the property management company provide excellent directions on how to prepare for island living. I recommend following their directions to the letter. Travel with Pine Island Taxi and have them schedule a stop at Island Seafood Market in Matlacha. Island Girl Charters for the trip across the bay. Thanks again for a wonderful trip. We look forward to returning to your property as soon as we can manage.

Perfect vacation home for kids!

We had a wonderful time! The home was clean and stocked with everything you would ever need. We were traveling with all ages from 68 to two one yr olds. The two masters on the first floor were nice for my husband and I’s elderly mothers. The master up stairs had a wonderful bonus room that had a crib and a toddler bed. It was so nice having my youngest children so close but yet separated for some privacy. They had everything you would need for small children including baby gates, baby monitor and pack n plays. We would put the babies down for a nap and head to the beach with the monitor without any issue!There is also a nice shaded spot for the babies to play under the deck that kept my 1 and 4 yr olds occupied for hours. The beach was PERFECT. Wonderful sunrise views with calm waters for our younger children. The private beach was perfect and came stocked with yard games like cornhole and even games for the children. Also plenty of beach seating. The ice maker and fridge beachside were such a blessing. A cold drink was always just steps away. I also liked that our private beach had clear boundaries that kept my children on our property …. this was the first vacation wear my kids could roam and play and I could actually sit and relax. Great beachside fishing also! The gulf carts were in great shape and had plenty of room with having the two available. The owner and management company are very responsive and kind and are truly just a text away. Highly Recommend!

Exceptional North Captiva Experience

This newly renovated home on the northeast side of North Captiva is exceptional! If you are traveling to this gem of an island, you will not be disappointed with Sea La Vie. The location on the private beach is special and cannot be overstated. The beautiful, unspoiled views from the deck, balcony and beach were extraordinary for everything from watching sunrises to enjoying the peaceful calm of the island. Almost every day we watched a pod of dolphins swim past our beachfront very close to shore (and once just a few yards from shore). The home has more than enough space for (a) everyone to enjoy spending time with each other in the large kitchen and family room, and the large deck and beach, and (b) for everyone to have some privacy in the three large master suites (each with all new bathrooms) and kids bedroom. The house is equipped with everything you could ever imagine needing: a fully equipped kitchen (with more than you could ask for in a rental home), many board games and cards for rainy days, outdoor games and equipment for fun on the beach. If you're traveling to North Captiva (which is a very special spot), we highly recommend this home for your stay. This is the third home we've stayed in on North Captiva, and by far our best experience. Leslie and Jim have excellent, detailed advice for traveling to the island, so be sure to follow their lead when it comes to transportation, groceries, tips for activities, etc. They are some of the most thoughtful and considerate owners we have encountered.

Awesome house with amazing views and a great location!

We were a group of 8 comprised of two family’s of 4. The house fit us perfectly and gave everyone their own space to relax. The views were absolutely amazing and we found we spent the majority of our time on the front porch or below the house relaxing. The ice machine and fridge downstairs was really nice to have as well as the abundance of beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. The house and kitchen is fully stocked and there wasn’t one thing we found ourselves needing that wasn’t there in place. As for the location, it’s got the largest private beach area of any property we had seen on a side of the island where the water always stays calm. This was a nice thing with children, allowing them to play in the shallow water and not having to be right next to them. The gulf side (the other side of the island and maybe a 10 minute cart ride) is nice to visit and beautiful as well but in our opinion not and area you could let the kids swim freely without the presence of an adult very close. The house is also situated on the side of the island known for dolphin sightings. We regularly(multiple times per day) saw pods of dolphins sometimes close enough to hear them breathe, it was pretty cool. I can’t say enough about the location of this place to everything you would need or want to do on the island, it really is perfect. The property owners and management were extremely easy to communicate with and gave us welcome packets that left no questions unanswered. We will be staying here again!

Amazing View

This was our 3rd time staying on NCI and the first time at this property. This by far was the best vacation rental we've stayed at so far. The rental was clean, well kept, well stocked and very well organized. Thorough guidelines were provided. Communication was very helpful and delivered timely. The owners were great to work with and we truly appreciated everything! The house itself is beautiful and so are the views. Being on the bay/sound side was better than the golf side due to the beautiful sunrises, large private beach, and frequent dolphin and manatee sightings. We used the two kayaks to get closer to the sea life, and we were rewarded with dolphins jumping near to us. We are pretty familiar with the island since we've been twice before. This is definitely a serene place to go to get away from everything and unwind. We love that there are no cars - it's fun getting around on golf carts. Barnacles/Mainstays offers good casual dining. Sunsets are nice at the sandbar. And as an added bonus, the shells by the preserve are beautiful in the morning during low tide! If you go, bring lots of sunscreen for the day and insect repellent for mornings and evenings, specifically repellent for "no-see-ums". Water shoes are very helpful to protect your feet from all the shells. In fact, make sure to plan and pack well, because it's harder or more expensive to get things you need once you are on the island. The owner will give you these tips too, but these important ones are worth repeating! Anyway, our stay was absolutely perfect and we would definitely go back if the opportunity arises!

Magical

This was our first time using VRBO and unfortunately the places we stay at in the future will have a hard time living up to the standard that Leslie set at Sea La Vie. She started by including all the information we could possibly need to make our trip there, and stay, as seamless as possible. And truly, it couldn’t have gone any smoother. Then there’s the house, location, and all the amenities. It was beyond all of our expectations. Our family of seven, including 5 adults and two young children had ample space and enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen. My daughter claimed she has never slept so good because of the mattress and pillows in her room. The house is beautifully and artfully decorated with a convenient layout. We loved the convenience of the 2 golf carts and used the kayaks. Our favorite part, though, was the location. We were right on the beach, and literally had it to ourselves for all but one day of our stay. And boy were we entertained daily. Dolphins swam and played sometimes only about 5 yards from the shore. We had a heron regularly visit and the Ospreys entertained us by trying to build a nest on the neighbor’s air conditioning unit. We also saw enormous iguanas (One my granddaughter named Mango because he was orange and green),and shelled to our hearts content. We also spotted many starfish and even a puffer fish in the seaweed. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and Leslie and Ally were so helpful with everything!!

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.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

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!

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

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.
