This home is spacious, beautifully decorated and perfect for a large family. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. The pool, pool table, hammock, golf cart and other amenities make rest and relaxation a breeze. The home is a short walk to a private gated beach entrance. All this said, families should be aware the island was ravaged by a hurricane a year ago, and may houses are uninhabitable or under construction. Debris and construction supplies border many of the roads. We lost power for 8 hours one day, and we were told it was related to construction in the area. You should also be prepared to cook most, if not all, meals. Only 2 restaurants are open in the island, and 1 of those only on Saturday/Sunday. Highly suggest the Over the Waterfront restaurant. We were primarily there for the beach, so it worked great for us, but if the beauty of the overall island is important to you, be advised.

Paul the owner coujd not have been more helpful and the house was perfect for our families. Loved how close it was to the beach and love the remoteness of the island.

Gulf Swells and Seashells is a beautiful house close to the beach. It was very clean and we were so comfortable there. The Tortuga Properties people were responsive and did their best to make our stay relaxing and care free. The island is obviously not back to normal after hurricane Ian but they are getting there. We were a little confused as to what kind of places were available to eat at and luckily we were prepared to fix our own meals. The grocery delivery service made that very easy for us. We had a great, relaxing trip and enjoyed visiting North Captiva.

Excellent place for a party of 10! We had two families with kids ranging in age from 3-13 and two grandparents. My dad has mobility issues so he enjoyed the beach view from the deck and the short walk to the beach. The pool was great for the kids. The house was clean and roomy. The owners were very accessible by phone and got back to us immediately with questions we had. I have stayed in many places around the country and this house and location has been my favorite!

Everything about this vacation was perfect. The house was spectacular and if you want a true escape, North Captiva is the perfect spot. The ultimate place to spend time with family with zero distractions. The boat ride and transportation on the island were perfect. We will return.

Island Getaway
The property was what we expected and more! It was perfect for our group of eight. I especially appreciated the ample amount of bath towels, beach towels and other beach and house necessities that are not otherwise available on the island. Both the homeowner and Tortuga Properties made communication and our stay easy and enjoyable.

We had high expectations and the property exceeded our expectations! The location was excellent (just a short walk to the beach) with gorgeous views of the beach and evening sunsets. The house layout was perfect with a large open floorpan on the second floor that our family really enjoyed. Each bedroom had its own bathroom and the beds were all very comfortable. Our 5 kids really loved the pool, hammock, and screened in back porches! We wish we could live there year around!

Property beautiful as described. Island experience was amazing. Property manager leaves a lot to be desired. Very unresponsive. Will be back to North Captiva for sure, just maybe not with Tortuga Properties.

Perfect Vacation
The house was absolutely perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. Everything was so clean and all of the rooms were comfortable. The beach is right out the front door and my husband loved the fishing. There was so much natural beauty- our kids loved finding shells, spotting birds and identifying fish. The owners had some pamphlets that they used to identify each one in the evening. My dad loved using the golf cart to explore with his grand kids!
The owners were very nice and helped us navigate the logistics of traveling to the island by boat and securing all of our groceries. It was intimidating at first but once we got there it was so nice to not be running to the grocery store each day! We were really able to focus on our family time. We enjoyed kayaking and golf cart rides to get ice cream! The pools both at the house and the Island Club were a great addition. I loved exploring the trails in the nature preserve. We saw tortoises, manatees, dolphins, bonnet sharks and a ray!
We rented a boat for a couple days and explored some nearby islands- we would highly recommend an excursion to Cabbage Key.
Be prepared to pay “Island prices” for any dining out you do- but it’s worth the treat every once in a while. We used the property management company to deliver fresh seafood one night and that was great! Next time we will probably do that more than once. We will definitely be back!

Perfection
We can't say enough about this property and it's location. It was a perfect getaway for a surprise 80th birthday party. Plenty of space, beautiful views and perfect for dinner parties.
The family of Osprey's kept us entertained day and night.
The peacefulness provided for a great getaway.

Great location and just a short walk to the beach. Plenty of space and very relaxing for everyone. We had a great time and will likely head back at some point. I personally loved how you could catch Snook from the beach right in front of the house:)
