How many of us have sat at work, or various other humdrum responsibilities, and dreamed of having our own personal island that we could sail away to and leave the monotony of modern life behind. While not entirely a private island, this little strip of paradise is about as close as you can get without actually purchasing one. For those seeking to embrace their inner castaway, feel free to check out our North Captiva Vacation Rentals!
Discover North Captiva Island
A Hidden Paradise off Florida’s Coast
Just off the southwestern coast of Florida lies North Captiva Island—a secluded, four-mile stretch of paradise accessible only by boat or small plane. Its narrow shape, just half a mile wide, creates an intimate setting where every sunrise feels personal and every stroll along the shore feels like your own private escape. Step off the dock and you’re instantly welcomed by warm Gulf breezes, the salt-sweet scent of the sea, and the sense that you’ve found something truly special.
Your Island Home
Our North Captiva Island vacation rentals strike the perfect balance between spacious and cozy. Fully furnished and thoughtfully designed, each home allows you to unpack once and immediately step into island life. Full kitchens make it easy to cook fresh, local meals, while open layouts ensure you can gather together without sacrificing privacy.
Modern keyless entry and security systems give you peace of mind, while the island’s small size guarantees you’ll never be far from the beach—or from your next adventure.
Elevated Amenities
From beachfront estates perfect for family reunions to private Gulf-front homes with their own docks, our properties offer the upscale touches that make a vacation unforgettable. Depending on your rental, you’ll enjoy:
Sweeping ocean views
Spacious decks and screened porches
Laundry facilities and starter supplies
Private beachfront access
Even your own boat, in select homes
Whether you’re lounging on a sunlit deck, casting a fishing line from a private dock, or setting sail on turquoise waters, you’ll find everything you need to live the island life in comfort.
Island Adventures
North Captiva may be small, but it’s rich with experiences. Spend mornings stretched out on powdery sand, afternoons swimming in the Gulf, and evenings collecting some of the finest seashells in the country. The island is famous for its world-class shelling, thanks to unique Gulf currents.
Beyond the beach, you can:
Fish the abundant local waters
Use boat for a day on the open sea
Discover local dining gems scattered across the island
No matter how you spend your time, every moment here brings a balance of relaxation and discovery.
Dining on the Island
Despite its remote setting, North Captiva offers a surprisingly diverse dining scene. Treat yourself to upscale flavors at the Old Captiva House, grab a laid-back meal at The Mucky Duck Restaurant, or sample island-inspired fare at the award-winning Doc Ford’s Rum Bar and Grille.
Casual bites are easy to find too—whether it’s pizza from Captiva Island Pizza, Mexican-inspired dishes at Cantina Captiva, or your morning latte at Latte Da Coffee Shop (yes, there’s even a Starbucks on the island).
