About this property

Peace of Paradise: Pvt. house & pool w/ waterfall

Are you familiar with what it takes to vacation on North Captiva Island, FL?
(If you are, you're welcome to jump down to the "We'd like to welcome you to Peace of Paradise!:" section below. - The island is excited to have you back!)

NEVER VACATIONED ON NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND? Here are some VERY important things to note:
1) There are no roads/bridges to this island. All vacationers and homeowners access the island either by ferry boat, chartered boat, private boat, or via small, private aircraft. The journey is as enchanting as the destination.
Upon arrival, our guests are greeted at the ferry dock by our Property Management team and escorted in golf carts to Peace of Paradise. Use of two 4-person golf carts is included in your rental.
2) There are no major grocery stores on the island. All vacationers and homeowners provision their houses either by personally shopping prior to leaving the mainland or by hiring a personal shopper or management team to do the shopping for them.

Yes, there is some legwork involved in planning a vacation on NCI but the effort is worth it because this is what makes NCI so special!...Step away from the real world, relax...and PLAY!
We'll guide you every step of the way! As soon as your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a link to our Digital Guidebook which will guide you through the planning process step-by step! If you ever still have questions, you can reach out to me (Molly) as I'm a very attentive host!

--ESCAPE & UNWIND--

Step away from the hustle-bustle of daily life. Pour a tropical drink and lounge beside the turquoise waters of your own private, resort-style pool. Listen to the splashing of the pool's waterfall and the palm fronds rustling above, as family and friends begin making new favorite memories.
Great location on North Captiva Island; you're just a quick golf cart ride away from your members-only beach entrance, a 600 acre nature preserve, the island's restaurants, gift shops/cream shops, and favorite spots for dolphins and manatees to hang out!

Better than Description

We stayed at Peace of Paradise over the holidays and it surpassed expectations. Check in was a breeze with Kale meeting us at the dock with golf carts ready to go. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to thoroughly enjoy our time there. Although the island still showed some signs of damage from the hurricane, the property was in perfect shape and the beach was amazing! Thanks for a great stay!!!

Fabulous Island Getaway

This property has the most outdoor amenities on the entire island! Hammocks, tiki bar with bar swings, pool with a waterfall, grilling and pizza making and so much more. The beds were comfortable and the house was fully stocked. We love that the layout of the home is one big circle and every room is super unique! We will book this property again if it is available for our annual Labor Day trip.

Truly a Peace of Paradise

Such a wonderful oasis for the week! As first time visitors to North Captiva Island we appreciated all the communication and helpful tips prior to our arrival. That communication continued throughout our stay. The house is well appointed with everything you need. The pool was splendid and having two golf carts that were brand new was a real treat. Great place and excellent customer service

Great home on the island

We had great communication with the owner throughout our stay, and property managers for most of our stay. The house was beautiful with easy access to the beach! Fully equipped for our needs and lots to do right at the house. The only minor thing is that the bunk room was fairly tight, and definitely would have been chaotic had we needed more than one or two of the beds.
