Summary:
The property is currently undergoing repairs as a result of damage from hurricane Ian, available starting Jan 2024.
Saba Winds is a premier Captiva Island private estate with over 148 feet of white sand Gulf beachfront as part of Captiva’s continuous 5 miles of beach. Unlike any other, and quite a jog! Saba Winds enjoys a full water view of those spectacular Florida Gulf sunsets. Watch for the dolphins playing along the shoreline.
The Space:
Two homes, Saba Winds-North and Saba Winds-South share this broad section of beach, as well as a tropical garden and shared pool. Saba Winds-North is large, bright, modern, private, and charming. You will find the house tastefully decorated, light and airy with spacious rooms, luxurious baths, and comfortable common areas. The back doors at Saba Winds open right onto the warm sandy beach. A screened lanai, private beach deck nested in the sandy dunes all afford casual enjoyment of the outdoors.
This is it: the ideal vacation destination for you, your family, and friends! The location is a prestigious and quiet residential section of Captiva. From the moment you enter the estate, you’ll know you’ve arrived someplace special. Stately royal palms line the pristine entrance, and the lush tropical gardens have an instant soothing effect as you pass the pool on your way to the house.
Walk the surf for miles collecting tropical seashells — mother nature’s jewels. Marvel at the world’s most colorful sunsets as the Saba Winds serenade.
