Escape to SALTWATER&SUNSETS -Newly Remodeled-Pool & Club Access


🏝 As soon as you step on one of the BOAT FERRIES THAT DELIVERS you to the island let your cares melt away, enjoy the lull of the boat and the smell of the fresh salt water. Sandy lanes will lead you to our newly remodeled 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home, Saltwater & Sunsets, on North Captiva which is ready for you to enjoy your island stay. ***Our home is happy to welcome you and ready for guests...but the island is still in some areas recovering from the hurricanes and you may see and hear construction. The Island Club included with stay is in great condition and the beautiful beach is just down the lane.
The newly decorated home reflects the charm of the island while keeping comfort at the heart of your stay. Each bedroom has its own attached full bath with luxury shower heads. The living area has a comfortable sectional sofa with a large TV and 2 lounge chairs for relaxing. Our newly designed kitchen is equipped for your meal prep and ease of use for memorable meals around a counter height butcher block table. If you prefer to dine out try the restaurant at the Island Club, OTW (Over the Waterfront) or hire one of the private chefs to deliver a tasty meal to the house.
You can also dine outside at our 6 person polywood dining table or just rest in a lounge chair on the open air deck off the living area. If you prefer screened in space we have a bar top with bar chairs and two adirondack chairs on a screened in porch off the kitchen.
Lounge at the Island Club at North Captiva, included in your stay. At the club you can enjoy 2 pools, a hot tub, kayaks, paddleboards, and the Club Bar & Restaurant at Mangos (food and drinks not included). Enjoy watching for the dolphins at the beach at the end of the airstrip or meander down the lane to soak in the Gulf of Mexico or to take in a spectacular sunset. North Captiva has wonderful nature trails and spacious beaches to explore. It is an island paradise with spacious beaches, wildlife and a sense of serenity that is increasingly rare to find. It offers a unique escape from the modern world and a chance to immerse yourself in the wonders of nature. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventures, time with family or friends, a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat North Captiva has it all making it a hidden gem that beckons to be explored and cherished.

LOCATION:
North Captiva Island is a hidden gem in southwest Florida off of Cape Coral. It is know for spacious beaches, clear waters and lovely tropical landscapes. This picturesque island, part of the barrier islands of the Gulf of Mexico, offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With its pristine beaches, lush tropical vegetation, and unique charm, North Captiva Island is a paradise for those seeking a peaceful and natural getaway. It is easily accessible from RSW airport in Fort Myers Florida. From there a shuttle service, taxi or car rental can be arranged to the boat ferry. The island is only accessible by boat.

WILDLIFE:
North Captive is home to a rich variety of wildlife. You can spot dolphins frolicking in the Gulf, manatees slowly navigating the canals (fun to do with them from a kayak), and a diverse range of bird species like ospreys, pelicans, and herons. We also have turtle hatchlings every year and more can be learned about this with the North Captiva Sea Turtle Foundation. The island’s subtropical climate and lush vegetation create a perfect habitat for these creatures.

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.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
There is no road access to North Captiva Island; you will arrive by ferry, private charter or personal boat. We suggest Island Girl Charters or the Island Club at North Captiva ferry service.
Our home, the beaches and Island Club are in great shape and ready to greet you. However, some places on the island are still rebuilding so you may hear and see construction on the island.
We do have exterior cameras for the security of the property. They do not see inside the home.
Golf carts can be rented through Boats and Fun or Safety Harbor on North Captiva.

We had a great time!

All of us loved Saltwater and Sunsets! We had three in our group, house had plenty of room, was clean, newly updated, well stocked and close to beach. Spent a lot of time on outdoor patio in sun since some days were a little cold. Sometimes trying to contact rental owner/manager can be a challenge, Megan and Bill responded extremely quickly. I've been on many warm weather vacations, North Captiva is one of my favorite places. Going there takes a little more planning but well worth it. When we return to island we will stay again at Saltwater and Sunsets!

About the host

Hosted by Megan & Bill Van Valer

Host profile image
Our family is from Indiana and have spent many years visiting southwest Florida. We love traveling, sports, games and great books!

Why they chose this property

While we love many spots in southwest Florida we found North Captiva to be a special place. We found our 2 bedroom home, lovingly remodeled it and now are happy to be able to share it with guests.

What makes this property unique

We love our precious blue 2 bedroom, 2 bath home designed with island style. It is one of the older homes on the island and when we walked in we knew we wanted to preserve its charm, such as the wood ceiling. We love that it sits a few houses in from the beach and the short meandering stroll down the tropical lane that opens to the gulf is a cherished walked our family makes to enjoy spectacular sunsets.
