About North Captiva Island:
Nestled off the coast of southwest Florida, North Captiva Island, a boat access only private island locally known as a hidden gem, offers a tranquil escape from the bustling world. With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush tropical landscapes, North Captiva Island is a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat. Explore miles of pristine shoreline, witness stunning sunsets over the gulf, and immerse yourself in the island's laid-back atmosphere. Whether you're strolling along the sandy beaches, engaging in water activities, or simply unwinding in the embrace of nature, North Captiva Island promises an idyllic and unforgettable experience!
Guest Access:
You will be able to self check-in upon arrival. There is an electronic keypad on the front door that will provide access to the home. We will send you the code prior to arrival. Guests have private access to the entire home and property.
The Neighborhood:
North Captiva Island is a private island that has just over 350 houses. The island is extremely special with miles of beautiful beaches, world-class shelling, birding, fishing, and of course true relaxation.
The whole island is only four miles long (and ½ mile wide at the widest part), but about half of the island is owned by the State of Florida and managed as a preserve that offers residents and guests miles of hiking trails and access to extremely remote and private white sand beaches.
The island has two restaurants (one serving casual fare and other more gourmet meals), an Island Market (not a grocery store, but has as few last-minute items), ice cream shop/boutique and an island store. There are several wonderful private check options too!!
Our island features golf carts on sandy roads only. This island is a very special and unique place, unlike any other vacation or have or will ever take… it is perfect for creating amazing memories that will last a lifetime!
Getting Around:
Our home is located on North Captiva Island, which is a private island accessible by boat only. Most of our guests take the Island Girl Charters ferry, and one of our team members will be at the dock to greet you, bring your luggage up into the home, and show you around the island.
Interaction with Guests:
Our team will meet you at the ferry dock and bring your luggage up into the house (...you do not need to climb the stairs with heavy luggage with our team!...). Upon your arrival we will also give you a tour of the island, show you how to safely operate the golf cart and answer any questions that you may have. From there, we will leave you to peacefully enjoy paradise, the beach, and the amazing views, but we are always available to answer any questions or address any issue that arises during your stay. Simply put, we are here to make your stay perfect!
