The Blue Marlin - Beachfront Oasis with Private Beachside Pool & Boat Dock
About this house rental
Situated in North Captiva Island, this lovely house for £884 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Since 2017, "The Blue Marlin" has provided sea-loving families with the ultimate North Captiva beachfront retreat. This unique property includes over one acre of land and offers a private beachside pool and private boat dock. With panoramic water views and a gently sloping sugar sand beach, it is a gorgeous, relaxing setting for your family vacation. "The Blue Marlin" is located on North Captiva Island, a bridge-less, car-free, crowd-free paradise. Sea kayaks and paddle boards are kept right at the house and can be easily taken down to the shore for paddling adventures. Dolphins are often encountered and are typically sighted daily from the house's expansive decks. A protected dock at the back of the property is a great place for fishing adventures or mooring your boat. The private beachside pool is a favorite place to play or relax. This one-of-a-kind property extends to Safety Harbor along its western border, Salty Approach Airstrip along the north, and the pristine Pine Island Sound to the east. Come to this peaceful haven for your family vacation. Watch dolphins frolic offshore and pelicans glide past your porch throughout the day. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises as you sip your coffee on the wrap-around decks and marvel at the beauty of the universe as you star gaze into the dark night sky. Fall asleep to the rustle of palm branches and the peaceful lapping of waves along the shore. Explore the amazing coastal waters by sea kayaks or paddle boards which are included in the house rental. Beautiful and rare wildlife abound-- from shorebirds to manatees, and sea turtles to sawfish. Miles of pristine beaches are available for beach combing on North Captiva Island or nearby Cayo Costa. A private beachside pool and a private boat dock with 2 slips are included. "The Blue Marlin" was designed to accommodate families who love the sea. It embraces the spirit of the islands with its relaxed, comfortable, family-friendly design. The house is divided into private and gathering spaces, with expansive wrap-around porches. The main part of the house includes a large family room and a functional, fabulous kitchen and dining area. A massive kitchen island includes 6 barstools and an heirloom kitchen table, crafted from reclaimed marine timbers, which seats 8. The Gulf of Mexico, Captiva Pass, and Cayo Costa Island can all be viewed from the kitchen sink and stove. A large 55" television is mounted over the fireplace and can be viewed from any seat in the room. Two plump, cozy sofas and a reading alcove with a queen-size mattress offer comfy places to relax. An old seaman's chest is stocked with cards and board games for family game night. The second part of the house includes private bedrooms, bathrooms, and a large laundry room with a high-capacity washer and dryer. The Abacos bedroom has a queen-size bed and attached half bath with a French door leading out to the deck. Large windows offer stunning views of the Sound. The Captiva bedroom next door shares the panoramic water views and also has a French door leading to the wrap-around deck. It has a king-size bed and a large master bath with a walk-in shower. The Rookery bedroom across the hall has a queen-size bed and a French door leading to the deck and the outdoor shower. The outdoor shower also has beach views and views of the spectacular star-filled sky at night. Over 1,480 square feet of elevated deck wrap around the house and offer many choices for sunbathing and relaxation. The bunk room has 4 twin-size beds perfect for the young and young at heart. A large guest bathroom has double sinks, a shower, and a shallow tub for the little ones' bubble baths. Much of "The Blue Marlin's" charm comes from its vintage furnishings and reclaimed architectural details. The reclaimed heart-of-pine flooring dates back to a 1800's Kentucky whiskey distillery; the vintage ship lights were salvaged from old passage ships; much of the furniture was created from recycled boat wood; and even the giant 12' Marlin that hangs above the kitchen cabinets was a Pine Island garage sale treasure (refurbished by a local taxidermist). "The Blue Marlin" sits on a historic piece of land that was once used by native Caloosa people, claimed by the King of Spain, used by early coastal pioneers and fishermen at the turn of the century, and cleared by the Kinsey family for use as a sand airstrip that once ran north to south along the coast. Even though it is newly constructed, "The Blue Marlin's" Florida-style design and sea-loving spirit offer a nostalgic nod to the past. A portion of each rental is donated to local charities that work to protect wildlife and marine and coastal environments. "The Blue Marlin" is located on North Captiva, a bridgeless subtropical barrier island with over five miles of pristine, sandy beaches. The island is traffic-free, car-free, and carefree. Electric golf carts, bicycles, and feet are the only modes of transportation and shoes are optional. The southern part of North Captiva includes over 350 acres of protected state park land. Transportation to North Captiva from the mainland is provided by Boats and Fun Water Taxi, Island Girl Charters, Just For Fun Ferry Boat, private charter, or your boat. A private beachside pool and private boat dock are included with the house rental. "The Blue Marlin" is a member of the North Captiva Island Club and guests can enjoy the Club's many amenities including its two large pools and tennis courts. Guests of "The Blue Marlin" will receive a voucher which can be redeemed with Sandy Wheels Cart Rental for the use of a 4–4-person golf cart during their stay. (Please note that if you have more than 4 guests in your party, you will be required to rent a second golf cart in order to redeem the golf cart voucher. )

We stayed at the Blue Marlin from June 4, 2023 to June 11, 2023. I was a little apprehensive for this vacation because it isn't your typical vacation. There were alot of things to take care of logistics-wise from transportation to getting food that are very different from normal vacation spots.
First of all, Kelly was one of the best owners to work with. She was very responsive before and during the trip. The management company answered all of our questions quickly and were very responsive with any issues we encountered or had questions on.
The house was unbelievable. It had everything we needed from the pool, to a grill for cooking out, to kayaks, to an outdoor shower and best of all, our own beach!
The grocery service is a must and working with Antoine was great. He took my many calls and answered my questions many times prior to getting down there.
The only thing we had an issue with was there was a barge ship right next to us for the cleanup from the hurricane. We got used to it and will be back to see what it is like when it isn't there.
I saw one quote from someone who vacationed at North Captiva. It went something like this:
"I was worried about what to do on the island, but when I was there, I ended up doing nothing!"
One of the most relaxing trips we ever went on and we definitely plan on going back and staying at the Blue Marlin.

We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this one was the first that was way better than the pictures can even show . You just have to go see it ! The view never gets old ! Our three teenage boys loved it! Even though there is not much to do on the island - it’s amazing beaches, pool as well as tons of water activities and corn hole were perfect and we were never bored. We saw so many dolphins and could almost touch them out on the kayaks and paddle board . Take some games or use the ones there. It was great to play them at the huge dinning table . We used blue marlin charters and rob was great ! Tortuga did a wonderful job ! We felt very taken care of ! Prepare to sit back and relax ! If there was anything I’d mention that I’d change it would be to prepare better for the no see Um bugs . Got lots of bites outside the first night but this is to be expected when living on an island beach . Get some bug spray w your sunscreen . The blue marlin will have a special place in our heart and I hope we will have the privilege to come back again.

We had another wonderful time at Blue Marlin! We have stayed here before and would not stay anywhere else on the island. The location is absolutely perfect and the house is beautiful. Thank you Kelly for making everything perfect and being so responsive. We will be back as soon as we are able.

The setting of the house on the water is amazing! You walk in the front door and just see water through the large sliding glass doors. You have the beach in front, pool in front, runway to your left, and dock at rear, this house has it all. Everything we needed in the kitchen, towels, and bathroom supplies. Tortuga did an awesome job with our groceries and picking us up at the dock. Will be back!

Paradise!
We LOVED staying in this home in PARADISE and look forward to returning! (I am reluctant to post this as I'm afraid that others will find out about this amazing home with the incredible view and it will be booked so much that we can't get back in to stay :))

This was our first time to North Captiva and the Blue Marlin and it exceeded our expectations! Kelley and Billy made our trip so easy from how to get there to having our groceries stocked and ready for our arrival. The pictures of this beautiful home and island don’t do it justice! We saw the dolphins and manatees daily, enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards and made great use of the heated pool. We can’t wait to return next year!

Loved this house!! Kelly has stocked it to the max, we really didn't need to bring anything besides our clothes and food we wanted to eat. With that being said, the house is beautiful and beautifully decorated, amazing views, nice towels, bedding, etc. My daughter and her boyfriend loved taking the kayaks out and hanging out with the dolphins. Already planning our next vacation to come back! Thank you Kelly for everything..

The house is absolutely beautiful. It is well designed and well kept with excellent facilities. The view is great. Most days we just sat on the back porch and watched the dolphins. We lost count of how many we saw. We would definitely recommend this property. There were only 2 of us with a small dog and the property is probably best suited for a larger group but we loved having the whole place to ourselves.

I am writing this review on behalf of three couples who who spent a wonderful week at The Blue Marlin last week. The house and property exceeded all of our expectations! The pictures on line were wonderful and drew us to want to stay there, but there is no way pictures could do this place justice. Absolutely breathtaking. The deck, pool, landscaping, and location were awesome. Ideal sunrise views and great place to chill in the evenings with a glass of wine and some locally caught grilled snapper. Spacious great room, nicely equipped kitchen, and large dining room table (with one of the best views in North Captiva) made our stay enjoyable and memorable. Attention to detail was impressive . . . Everything from the color scheme to nautical accents to the reading nook / day bed to the ice cream maker (they sent ahead recipes and instruction manual which was a nice touch). Bedrooms were nicely appointed and worked for the 6 of us. Oddly enough, a highlight was the outdoor shower on the upper deck. Very discrete . . . Something liberating about a shower outside with a wonderful view.
Every part of our logistics, getting groceries stocked, carts delivered to dock, and communications to / from the owners and Billy (the House Manager) took most of the stress out of getting in and settled. We did hire Billy, who is also private chef, to cook a pretty amazing meal one night . . . Great food and a great time. Made use of the dock for Capt Mark (of Olde Salty Island Charters) to pick us up & drop us off for an incredible fishing charter. Very nice to have that dock. Only issue we had was large industrial ice maker on the lower deck had died. They were responsive to get it fixed, but compressor was out and no way it would get fixed during our stay. Inside ice maker was a God send and kept us with enough ice for the week.
What did we do? Our first answer is “NOTHING” and it was fabulous. In reality, we snorkeled off the beach, swam, made use of kayaks & paddle boards, looked for shells and sea life, explored the island, chartered a fishing boat, watched sunsets and sunrises, played games, drank some wine and rum drinks, cooked some amazing meals and RELAXED!
In closing The Blue Marlin is a beautiful setting for a very relaxing and chill vacation. Highly recommend it and will be back!

Best Property on the Island
We have stayed on the island a few times in the past years, in different properties. This is by far the best house we have stayed at on the island and we will rebook for next year. The owners were so gracious and very accommodating. They made sure that we had everything we needed, and helped immediately if an issue arose. Best Vacation in many years!
Thanks,
Jack

My family and I stayed here for a week. It was so relaxing, the location can't be beat. Spending evenings in the pool or on the balcony enjoying the sounds, it's exactly what we needed. Seashells galore, if you're into shelling. We had a great time exploring the island and the great burgers at Mango's. Cabbage Key is adorable, with more great burgers. The house was very clean, definitely met my high standards. The hosts were great, communication was exceptional, and we had the most delicious homemade cookies waiting for us. All in all, our family had a great time at Sea Urchins and your family will too.

Amazing Vacation!!
Coming from the mountains, I cannot express enough what a wonderful vacation home this was! Honestly, it has everything! Not everyone always wants to do the same thing and this house has so many options for everyone - the pool is fantastic and so close to the beach - the cool walkway to the private dock - outdoor shower - great furniture, inside and out - the convenience of a big ice machine - amazing hammocks, plus games and pool/beach toys galore. We enjoyed the SUPs and kayaks and also ended up swimming with manatees on the Gulf side. We caught (and released) lots of starfish, conchs, crabs, sea urchins, plus had many dolphin sightings.
Sandy was fantastic, very hospitable and had great communication before and throughout the vacay! We had groceries delivered and rented a boat for a few days so all of the recommendations Sandy gave were top notch! We can't wait to go back!

We had an amazing week at Sea Urchins with our 3 kids, 2 grandmas and dogs. The house is stunning and the views are spectacular. It’s super clean and the beds are comfy. We loved watching all the wildlife and planes and helicopters at the airstrip next door. Kayaking and stand up paddle boarding with the dolphins was a favorite among our group. The island is super laid back and also very well upkept. The whole island feels like a luxurious resort. We loved that it was gold carts only. The owners are super helpful and did everything to make sure we had a luxurious, relaxing vacation. Thanks for sharing your home! We would definitely love to stay here again!

Excellent overall set-up for an extended family with young kids!! Sandy and Charlie were wonderful hosts! All was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We can’t wait to vacation here again!

Perfect vacation!!!
We couldn’t say better things about Sea Urchins. Sandy was an amazing host! She was so responsive with a few hiccups that we had. The property was amazing; I’m willing to bet the best on the island. The house was so well equipped! Toys for the kids, every paper product you could think of and plenty of spices and cooking products. We definitely could have brought much less with us than what we did. This is definitely a 5 star property!!!

Awesome week long stay
Sea Urchins is absolutely wonderful. The house is decorated beautifully and everything is very comfortable, with all the amenities. You can’t beat the view from the deck where dolphins were seen daily. Sandy gave us all sorts of great details on everything needed for our stay. Our family had a awesome weeklong relaxing, much needed vacation. N Captiva is such a neat and beautiful island away from the hustle and bustle. We will definitely be back!!

We loved our two week stay at Sea Urchins. My three daughters were all home on their college breaks so we were looking for a spot to vacation and relax together over the holidays. I read every review before booking and they were spot on! Sandy and family are the perfect hosts! They are friendly, great communicators, helpful in so many ways and have thought of everything to make our stay easy and enjoyable! The house is in the perfect location on the island and is absolutely adorable. From the layout, to the decor and amenities- we didn't want to leave at the end of our two weeks! We used the pool, kayaks, paddle boards and ping pong table. Watching the sunrise from the deck every morning will be one of my many favorite memories. Shelling is another favorite memory... the shells are amazing and abundant! A few recommendations for those visiting North Captiva for the first time--Definitely order your groceries and have them picked up and placed in the kitchen before your arrival with Emily. It's so worth it and much more!-We booked a private water taxi to and from the island with Boats and Fun. And, totally worth it especially if you are a large group with a lot of luggage.My family and I have been visiting Sanibel and Captiva Islands for years. We stumbled upon North Captiva and Sea Urchins thru VRBO. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation with lots of family time. We can't wait for our next stay at Sea Urchins! It really is the most relaxing family vacation ever!

This property is absolutely stunning! Excellent location with beach and private dock access. We rented a boat for several days and were able to easily dock and access it. The house is beautifully decorated, well stocked with towels, beach towels, paper products, and everything you can imagine in a kitchen. We cooked meals everyday and had everything we needed. We were about a 2 min golf cart drive from a yummy local bar/restaurant and ice cream shop. The pool area was the favorite for my kids (ages 4&3). The adults loved the easy access to great fishing spots! The wrap around porch was fabulous to relax on day and night. North Captiva beaches are loaded with beautiful sea shells to collect as souvenirs. We found sand dollars, star fish, and a beautiful variety of shells. The owners were fantastic to work with and are just wonderful people. We explored the whole island and concluded that this was truly the best house on it! The location is just unmatched. Our family had a wonderful vacation at Sea Urchins and highly recommend choosing this property!

Everything was so easy, from the check in process, to our stay, the house was VERY well equipped and spotless. They had everything available that you could think of and some things you hadn't thought of. Although I will say, definitely don't forget bug spray like I did! The no-seeums loved me. But that was my fault for forgetting, I won't make that mistake again. It was so relaxing. Having coffee on the deck every morning and watching the dolphins, pelicans, osprey and great egret play in and around the water was amazing. We found SO MANY shells on the beach in front of the house and the beach over by gulf drive. There's a little beach path flanked by trees with sea shells hanging in the trees. I highly recommend exploring every inch of the island with the gulf cart, bikes and walking.
I'm already hoping to come back next year and making it a yearly tradition!
