Oceanfront Luxury Home with Secluded Private Beach
About this house rental
Located in North Captiva Island, this charming house for $916 per night is a great choice for your next break. The Sandcastle is a completely updated beachfront home that has been owned by a single family for over 40 years, and is now available for renters too! The Sandcastle is located on some of the most prized beachfront property on the entire island, featuring some of the BEST FISHING, SHELLING, AND SUNSET-WATCHING in southwest Florida. Step outside your door and walk ten feet of white sandy beach to the water. This location is so private that you may go an entire day without seeing anyone else on your beach. Enjoy the pristine waters and exceptional fishing, all to yourself! The house was designed to take full advantage of the beautiful beachfront location. A huge sundeck expands the length of the home, and is ideal for enjoying your morning coffee while watching schools of breaching dolphin, meandering manatees, and osprey diving to catch fish. The beautiful custom kitchen features an open design and is fully equipped, including plenty of dishes and equipment to make and enjoy homemade dinners. The living room features a pull-out queen sofa bed, and a huge flat screen TV with satellite and DVD player. The master bedroom features an unbelievably comfortable king-size bed, full bathroom, flat screen TV, and dresser. The second bedroom has two twin beds, perfect for the kids, with a flat screen TV and dresser. We also have baby items like a Pack n' Play, highchair, and toys. There are two full bathrooms with all-new linens. The decor is playful, modern and cozy, perfect to make you feel at home during your beach vacation. Bicycles, tennis rackets, board games, puzzles, and other essentials are included in your home. If you need something we don't have, a simple call to the property manager will fix that! Beautiful North Captiva Island (also called Upper Captiva), is one of Florida's best-kept vacation secrets! The island remains COMPLETELY NATURAL, without paved roads, cars, or crowds of tourists. Our island's sandy roads are traveled by bicycle and golf cart, and North Captiva can only be reached by boat or private aircraft. Our property manager will help you arrange transportation (including a water taxi from the mainland), groceries, and how to fully enjoy the island. There are three restaurants and two gift boutiques on island. Kayaks, paddleboards, and watercraft are available for rent, and fishing expeditions can be arranged for full or half day adventures! A golf cart can also be rented for your time on the island through us, but is not included with the rental. The secluded island is not for everyone - only for those who desire a natural getaway with time to relax. Almost half of the island is dedicated to a state nature preserve. Nearly four miles of white sand beaches await you, without the hustle and bustle of many other vacation destinations. We hold a deep respect for natural beauty and wildlife of the island - this is truly one of the few places on the planet where the delicate balance between man and nature has withstood the test of time. We would love to share this unique place with you.

The property was spectacular. Property managers could not have been more nice or helpful. We learned some about what to bring to the island and next time we will be ready.

This is the second time we have stayed here and we are looking forward to going back in the future. Home is perfect and location is wonderful right on the beach. Views and sea life are amazing. Island is fun too and our kids enjoyed it. This was a fun family trip and I would recommend people check out the Sandcastle it’s a great place.

If you want to be on an island, with only golf carts allowed and a beautiful ocean outside your door with amazing views, this is the place! We took our 4 kids for a week long family vacation and we had an amazing time. Michael was amazing to work with. Connected us with airport and water taxi services and picked us up at the dock. Took a guided half-day fishing trip and got some great snapper and trout. Can’t wait to go back!

We had an amazing time here! Michael and his wife met us at the dock and helped bring al our luggage back to the house. We had used the local grocery delivery service (north captiva groceries) recommended by Michael and everything was unpacked in the kitchen when we walked in. The house was perfect, amazing views, very comfortable, clean. Beautiful sunsets from the porch, private beach, manatees, dolphins etc. the kids had an amazing time. We rented a golf cart from Michael and we highly recommend that. The island was awesome to explore and we can’t wait to come back! The house is well equipped with beach chairs, beach toys for the kids, lounge chairs etc. this property will not disappoint!

Beautiful Beachfront
We loved our time at The Sandcastle. We had a beautiful private beachfront where we saw dolphins, stingrays, and swam with manatees daily. The home was well stocked as described. We were able to kick back and enjoy the salt water and sunshine with our kiddos. Thanks for a great stay Mike and Jessica!

Sandcastle North Captiva
The property is honestly even nicer than the pictures. We stayed ten days and mostly did not leave the house. There was lots of wildlife to watch, beautiful sunsets, peace and tranquility. Will miss the manatee, osprey, dolphin, and the multitude of bird and fish that could be seen from the large elevated porch.

This was my family's first time to North Captiva and we fell in love instantly! The house is picture perfect and the island is stunning! It is very lush with palm trees and flowers everywhere!! Michael was an amazing host and answered all of our questions before and during our trip. He met us at the harbor upon arrival and even told us the history of the house and other aspects of the island.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!! This house is the best on the island! The privacy was perfect! We would maybe see a few people walk by during the day. Other days, we wouldn't see a soul. The house is beautifully decorated and had all the essentials.We are a family of 4 adults and the house was spacious for us all! We saw dolphins and manatees daily from the deck! There are so many amazing birds as well! The house sits so close to the water, when looking out the windows, you felt as if you were in the water! If looking for a secluded, low key, relaxing vacation, this house fits the bill! We are already planning our next trip back to this house!

This week could not have been better. Michael is great to work with and the property is perfect. Everything was clean and worked great. The advice Michael gave us on transportation and food worked out perfectly. We fished all week in front of the house and rented a boat from Boats and Fun for a great day on the water. We will be back.

Amazing vacation!
We had a wonderful stay at The Sandcastle! From booking to end of the trip, all went smoothly thanks to Michael, who was incredibly helpful and responsive. The location couldn’t be beat and the house was perfect for our family - it was so fun to be right on the beach and spot dolphins and watch the sunset from our deck! Thanks for providing a much-needed break and such a great time in paradise!

Excellent experience at a great location
The Sandcastle was a fantastic experience on North Captiva Island. Michael was an outstanding property manager who made sure we were well taking care of during our stay. The house was in a perfect spot with a great beach for rest and relaxation. Many properties you stay at require a long walking trip to set up your beach day. Not at this location - it was so convenient and relaxing. All aspects of the home were set up just the right way to make you feel extremely comfortable. We would definitely recommend as long as you don’t book it during our week!

Sandcastle is located on a lovely stretch of beach, with great deck space for viewing sunsets, sunrises, and another island in the distance. Michael was friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. House was equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Grocery ordering and delivery is worth the money. Looking forward to return visit!

We loved our stay at the Sandcastle! Michael is a fantastic property manager who promptly responded to our every need.
The house is RIGHT on the water (sometimes OVER the water). We watched lots of wildlife from our deck and on the beach and enjoyed the peace and quiet of being on the north end of the island.
A perfect place to unplug!

The property's location is perfect. We loved to open the two sliding doors in the living room and listen to the ocean whenever we were in the house.
We got to see dolphins and many of the island birds from the deck every day of our stay. While paddle boarding on the second day we saw our hosts Michael and Jessica returning from a successful fishing trip and they offered some of the catch to us. The fish was delicious, and we really appreciated them going the extra mile to deliver two perfectly cleaned fillets to the house and text us recommendations if how to cook them. Overall, the island is beautiful, the people were friendly, and the house what exactly what we wanted, making for an outstanding vacation.

Our stay at the Sandcastle was perfect in every way. The house had everything we needed and the views were phenomenal. We saw dolphins daily from the deck and the sunsets were stunning! The island has is very unique with lots of wildlife we had never seen plus the slower pace of life was exactly what we were needed. Michael and Jessica were wonderful hosts and we are grateful they shared their piece of paradise with us. If we could give 10 stars for our experience we would. When we come back to North Captiva, we will absolutely be staying at the Sandcastle. Paradise Found!

Our experience with the manager was horrible. His communication and responsiveness was horrible. The grocery service that was going to deliver our groceries tried several times to reach the manager and never got a call back. He wanted to charge us an additional $1000+ for my son joining us, when he was told before booking that he may come. The property is listed as sleeping 6. We would have only had 5, with my son. The price initially was the same for any number of guests up to 6. Why would he try to get more money when it should have been the same price, and he was informed that my son may come?? When we got to the home, after traveling both by plane and boat, he threatened to cancel our reservation if any of our other family members even stepped foot on the property. We had a total of 3 homes rented (all family and mostly adults over 50 years old). There are many, many other homes just as nice or nicer that have very good management and we have had no issues with. We visit North Captiva each year. This home is managed by a private manager, who is related to the owner. It was a terrible experience and a terrible way to start our trip. Being threatened and told he was going to cancel our reservation with us having no other lodging options and the island being full, was terrifying!

This was truly a gem. We had never been to the island and weren’t sure what to expect. We will definitely be back regularly. What an awesome place to disconnect from the rest of the world. The views were spectacular. I drank morning coffee on the beach hanging out with the local osprey , herons, dolphins, and manatee …. every morning. I even went for a morning swim one day and it was just so peaceful. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking to disconnect and spend some time living the island life.my kids actually cried when we left, because they truly loved every moment.
