Find beach rentals near Cayo Costa Beaches

We loved this property! It was the perfect size for our family of 5 and the location can’t be beat. This was our first time staying on Captiva (we usually stay on Sanibel) and Captiva has won our hearts. Can’t wait to come back! The property owners were very responsive with checking in and answering any questions/concerns we had as well.

We are already planning a return trip. To be steps from the actual beach was such a gift. Down the way where there is public beach access, many vacationers paid charter boats to take them to our island. However, we could simply walk the beaches at our leisure on our own schedule. No need to hire and schedule an outing. We also didn't need to hire a fishing guide as many others do. We knew enough about fishing to acquire licenses and bring our own equipment and caught fish right off our shore and dock because it was a prime spot. The highlight was catching a shark! Our hosts were very, very good and made us feel comfortable. They communicated pertinent information and were available if ever needed. Our family enjoyed beach combing. We found conch, starfish, sea urchin, jelly fish, and ALL SORTS of shells. (We brought home an entire tote of shells!) There is even a shipwreck to check out. Our older kids enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding and all sorts of beach games like cornhole and volleyball. The beach was an enjoyable place to sit in the sun or under the shade of umbrellas. This vrbo home was our vacation and it was truly worth every penny.

We seem to always come back to Mermaid House because it works so well for my wife and me. Great location, immaculate, responsive and friendly owner, private pool and grounds. We look forward to our next visit.

This was the perfect location to stay. The house is beautiful and accommodated 8 adults comfortably. We used the pool, floaties in the gulf and the dock to rent a pontoon boat for gulf adventures. Would definitely recommend to others.

We really enjoyed our week. The golf cart was awesome. We did have a problem with the A/C upstairs but the rental company sent someone out late at night and he fixed it right away. The pool and hot tub were great and also having the elevator was a wonderful help a well. Great location to everything.

We had a great time and and everything in the home was as promised.

Everything was what one hopes in a new property! The owners were attentive, friendly and made sure all was well with us. The house was clean and had everything one would want or need. Definitely a top notch place to enjoy the Islands 👏❣️🤗

The home is amazing! Beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we could need. Beach towels, coolers, cornhole, sand toys, wagons for hauling, a beautiful outdoor screened pool/deck were all part of our VRBO. The owner was wonderfully communicative and the cleaning service were superb. We had never been to Captiva and the lazy stroll down the sand covered quiet Laika Lane brought back memories of living in Hawaii as a young child. The beach was beautiful with soft sand and constantly visited by diving pelicans, seagulls and sandpipers. The dolphins were constant companions as well with pod after pod swimming and jumping nearby. A quick walk to quaint shops, eateries and a small grocery store were an added bonus. We didn't have to drive anywhere!
