(If you are, you're welcome to jump down to the "We'd like to welcome you to Peace of Paradise!:" section below. - The island is excited to have you back!)

NEVER VACATIONED ON NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND? Here are some VERY important things to note:
1) There are no roads/bridges to this island. All vacationers and homeowners access the island either by ferry boat, chartered boat, private boat, or via small, private aircraft. The journey is as enchanting as the destination.
Upon arrival, our guests are greeted at the ferry dock by our Property Management team and escorted in golf carts to Peace of Paradise. Use of two 4-person golf carts is included in your rental.
2) There are no major grocery stores on the island. All vacationers and homeowners provision their houses either by personally shopping prior to leaving the mainland or by hiring a personal shopper or management team to do the shopping for them.

Yes, there is some legwork involved in planning a vacation on NCI but the effort is worth it because this is what makes NCI so special!...Step away from the real world, relax...and PLAY!
