About this property

Captiva Vacation Home: comfort, private pool, dock, 300 steps to private beach

You are just 300 steps from the beach and the Gulf of Mexico in this light, spacious, comfortable island vacation rental home. The Captiva Vacation Home is nestled among other estate zoned properties in this stretch of Captiva Island, also referred to as the Gold Coast. At times the private beach will seem deserted to you and you will feel as if you own it. Using this Captiva Island vacation rental as your base, simply enjoy relaxing on the beach, collecting some of the shells for which Captiva is famous, swim in the Gulf of Mexico, fish for some of Captiva's well-known gamefish (right off the beach or the dock)... or go biking, kayaking, parasailing, golfing, boating, bird watching, surfing... And for your off-beach entertainment this vacation rental home has a heated pool plenty of modern amenities inside, including Direct TV in the living room with with VHS and DVD, Smart TV in the bedrooms, and wireless internet.
Your pet may be accepted with prior approval, and we expect the following: dogs stay off furniture and beds, are not left unsupervised and will be crated if left unattended indoors. You need to vacuum after your pet if it sheds excessively and pick up after your dog.

Great home. Great owners.
The property was wonderful. Margarethe and Rene were excellent hosts. The house had everything needed for a terrific beach vacation. Fishing off the dock provided plenty of action. Access to the beach was nearby and the beach was great. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Overall a 5 star place with 5 start hosts.

Perfect week
We have stayed in this beautiful home before, and will be back again next year. The beach is easy to get to, the pool is very nicely secluded, the home is laid out well and has everything we needed, including kitchen items. The beds are very comfortable. The boys loved fishing off the dock.

Perfect Location
This guest house was clean, comfy, and had all the equipment needed for cooking etc. The use of the dock on the water was very cool, and being across the street from the beach was great. We biked everywhere pretty much. We have always stayed on Sanibel but this was lovely.

Favorite Captiva location
I hesitate to write how fabulous this property and the owners are to work with, because I don’t want it to be too hard to reserve! LOL. The interior is very charming, comfy and there is amazing artwork. Kitchen is very well stocked (I would suggest bring your own fry pan). Otherwise it has all you need. The beds are deliciously comfortable, Love the proximity to the secluded beach, and the option to fish from the dock. Best of both sides of the water. The pool is heavenly. Even in the 60s, with sun out I could float for hours, it is that well sheltered and heated. We already have two more trips set to return

Amazing location for beach and bay
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas week at Captiva Vacation Home! Its easy access to both the bay and the beach makes this location ideal. The fisherman in our group spent hours at the dock, catching so many fish. And our beach lovers couldn’t get enough of the prettiest and most private beach I have ever seen. The pool was great too - perfect for the chillier days. The owners live on site and were attentive and helpful.Everything we needed for the week was provided - beach and fishing supplies, an extremely well-stocked kitchen, laundry needs, etc. We appreciated having three bedrooms and bathrooms so that all of us (6 adults in total) could have their own space. It was also easy to gather together at the large kitchen table and sectional sofa in the living area. We cooked and ate every meal there but one - we didn’t want to leave!The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the interior is immaculately clean. The cottage is starting to show some signs of wear and tear, and there’s a bit of a musty odor inside that attached to our belongings. That said, we would definitely come back because of all the positives mentioned above!Our thanks to Margarethe and René for a fabulous week!

We had a lovely week at the vacation home. The fishing from the dock was amazing. We saw sharks, manatees and dolphins as well. We were the only people on the beach the entire week and access is easy on the lovely path. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Our host was very kind when we encountered her. This is a gem of a spot on Captiva.

Daughter's Beach Wedding
++ Easy access to the beach, which was very private; Pool; Dock to fish...perfect for our family! (-) Read the booklet regarding the A/C, but it was very warm in the bedrooms at nights even with the ceiling fans on full spin. If the setting could be lowered without ice forming on the coils, then that would be great. You have a beautiful home, Margarethe & Rene!
