This is truly a unique vacation spot where you can enjoy beach walks, shelling, paddle boards and kayaks, and some of the best fishing in the world right off your dock. You will see dolphins every day. As if on cue, in our experience, they seem to gracefully swim by just as we relax with a cocktail on the deck. No rushing to beat the masses and reserve a spot on the beach here. We have ample beach chairs, umbrellas, lounges and everything you could want for a relaxing and private day on the beach. No crowds or loud, annoying neighbors as you enjoy beach life. Rinse away the sand and salt in our outdoor shower. Enjoy seclusion and relaxation with your family. We have come to enjoy grabbing a cup of coffee and walking a few steps to Redfish Pass to hook a snook or a trout with the rising sun. In addition, contacts for world class fishing guides are available for you. Arrangements can be made to pick you up right from the dock. ***This home is boat access only. Transportation to and from the island will be provided by the property manager. A boat is available to rent for qualified boaters. We find the boat truly enhances the experience. With the boat, you will be able to visit one of the small shops nearby for the forgotten items off of your list, or grab bait for fishing. A short boat ride away is the famous Cabbage Key, original home to "Cheeseburgers in Paradise". Also, the restaurants on Captiva and Sanibel are reopening and are better than ever. Some of our favorites are The Mucky Duck, the Green Flash and the Captiva House at Tween Waters..... just to name just a few. We have been renting beach homes for many years. This spot has surpassed them all. After renting a house four doors down the beach for two years, we decided to take the plunge and buy our own. This is truly a unique and amazing experience. Prepare to completely unwind and relax as you enjoy beach living at its finest! *** If you have never visited North Captiva before, it is truly a unique experience.
