Gumbo Limbo is a beautiful home, only a short walk from Island Club and Safety Harbor swimming pools with privileges at both. It has a spacious, modern, well-stocked kitchen and an open floor plan with tasteful, lovely furnishings. The owners were only a text away and responded quickly to our questions. With an outdoor shower, we could always wash off the sand from our shell-collecting adventures and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets on the beach before coming inside after our long days on North Captiva. The kitchen has purified drinking water and a wonderful ice machine, paper towels and napkins, and a cabinet with salt and pepper and an assortment of spices. Our bungalow also had a washer and dryer stocked with laundry soap and softener, bath soap, and shampoo and conditioner. The beds are comfortable and a quiet AC kept indoor temps perfect. We had ample clean bath towels and a big basket of beach towels for our use. Don’t forget to reserve a golf cart ahead (cost in summer 2023 is $79/day) as the house did not provide one. The homeowners left us personal notes, treats, and a nice welcome gift. We highly recommend this beautiful beach home and would gladly stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at this island home. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the nearby surroundings. Very clean, well equipped and amenities were easily accessible. Sandy was an exceptional host and went above & beyond for us… very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommended.

A wonderful place to relax and enjoy island life! The water and beaches are perfect. Sandy is amazing and the best host you will ever have. We truly recommend visiting!

This is a beautiful and well maintained rental property. My kids and I really enjoyed our stay on North Captiva and in this property. Lovely furniture, new appliances, and just a nice space to be in -- lots of natural light and a beautiful setting around it. Owners were easy to work with and made the whole process a pleasure. We would love to come back to North Captiva and would jump at the chance to stay in this property again. Thank you!

Close to everything! Will stay again!

We cannot say enough about our experience on North Captiva Island! The accommodations were perfectly appointed with just what we needed (kitchen and bath essentials, high chair, pack'nplay, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc.) We loved the proximity to the beach and access to the pools for the kids. As of March 2023, there is no store on the island so make sure to bring any consumables with you! Homes and amenities are still recovering from the hurricane. One restaurant is open and another only for lunch. Loved seeing the Gopher Tortoises, manatees, dolphins, osprey, etc. Host was very thorough and helpful with figuring out the logistics (taxi, ferry, golf cart rental, etc.) Cannot wait to plan a return trip!

What a gorgeous little house on a gorgeous little island! The house is clean, decorated perfectly and has everything you need. The couch and chairs are so comfortable and so was the bed! We loved this little place and had a great week on North Captiva Island. Sandy was so great to deal with and answered every question we had. Favorite part was the sandbar at the beach where you can walk so far out into the ocean and watch dolphins swim by and collect sand dollars! Oh yeah, don’t forget to get a pina colada at Mangos!

The property and the island were wonderful. We stayed with our teenage granddaughter and we all loved it!

Wonderful house and great location, very clean and decorated beautiful!!
