North Captiva Island 3 bedroom rental

This traditional Florida style 3 bedroom island cottage was completed in 2001 and is situated less than 200 yards down a private path to the wide sugar sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico. This secluded home is one of the few newer island houses with only one elevated single level floor plan providing ease of access and family friendly living. It is designed to provide the utmost comfort while capturing the scenic beauty around it. The home has a private pool & garden and has it's own private beach access. The village of Upper Captiva sits on the northern tip of North Captiva Island, a secluded tropical island in Southwest Florida.

This bridgeless island is unique among the sandy coastal barrier islands of Florida. The island is surrounded by the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound, about six miles off the mainland of Florida. Boca Grande lies to the north and Captiva and Sanibel lie to the south. This tropical island is one pearl in the necklace of "outer islands" embracing Pine Island Sound. Access is only by boat or private airplane. No cars, no crowds! This has assured that the island remains unspoiled and unhurried. It's sandy beaches are decorated with an endless supply of driftwood and seashells surpassing that of the legendary Sanibel/Captiva beaches. Upper Captiva is a truly unique combination of comfort and luxury in an idyllic tropical paradise.
