This was exactly what we needed! The house provided us a place to lay our heads until we could get back out to the real attraction, the beach. It had been many years since I had last been to the island and the hurricane did impact nearly every property, except this one! The house was clean and comfortable and allowed us to cook dinner each night. We would have enjoyed a dinner out but there are currently no dinner restaurants open on the island. Or breakfast for that matter. Not the host’s fault obviously. Make sure to bring all you need (or order groceries ahead of time) and you will be ok. We managed ok but would have been nice to have that information updated on Google. But if your goal is to relax in place a less than two min walk from the beach, on a modest budget, then this place hits the mark.

We so enjoyed our stay at Winterhaven…. Very comfortable, sparkling clean, well equipped and fantastic location. We had excellent communication with Allen (the home owner), who was flexible and very helpful. Sherman (the property manager) was prompt, friendly and immediately available as needed. Debbie (Fresh Pick Grocery Service) is the best. Location just a short walk from the best beach on the island. Love the gentle sound of surf. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this home for a laid back visit to paradise.

Hurricane Ian damaged much of North Captiva Island and many of the beach houses. This house survived with no apparent damage, has everything you need for a wonderful week and is only three lots from one of the prettiest beaches in the USA.

As always, North Captiva is a wonderful destination for those seeking an entirely relaxing vacation without any agendas. The island is still recovering from the September hurricane such that there is a fair amount of debris and damaged homes, but the ideal weather and surrounding nature make up for these transient negative aspects. The home is well apportioned and within walking distance to the beach. The only negative feature is that the extra sofa bed is located in the master bedroom, which provides scant privacy for those using the master bed. (There is a sliding wall but the sofa bed is bigger than the sliding wall’s circumference. ) Would return as a party of four, rather than five, as we did. Overall, recommended.
