Wonderful condo! Right on the beach and next to the pool area. Great sunsets! The unit was very clean and had everything we needed. Loved the screened in balcony. Kim as very easy to communicate with.

Beautiful Florida stilt house steps to the beach
We had an amazing stay at this Captiva getaway! The house was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The location couldn’t have been better...just a short walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants, yet peaceful and quiet. It was the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy all that Captiva has to offer. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Amazing Getaway with Private Pool
Upon arrival in Sanibel, we found the property immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, creating a cozy. Our stay at Ricardo’s place was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Everything exceeded our expectations. Communication with Ricardo was smooth and prompt, making the booking process hassle-free. The amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect. We enjoyed exploring the area and discovered plenty of great dining options nearby. Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We highly recommend Ricardo and his property. Thank you for such a memorable stay we will definitely be back.

The Bungalow - Captiva Beach Cottage on Turner Bea
This place is a great location! Turner Beach is loaded with shells especially if you walk a short ways to the left at a rock wall. Walking to the beach was very easy. There are chairs, shell scoopers, umbrella, etc. Very roomy, comfy and quiet. I would rent here again.

Windows on the Water "W.O.W."
North Captiva will not disappoint! Windows on the water is out of this world. Great family vacation with plenty to do. All the logistics were easy to navigate. We will be back! The island club with mango’s is a great addition. Need to add a golf cart to the property though. This will meet your expectations!

Spectacular Sanibel condo near beach with pool
We would definitely consider staying here again and tell friends and family about it if they’re ever in Sanibel. It was so helpful to have items available for the beach, as well. The Airbnb was very well put together and welcoming. The only inconvenience was having water shutoff during our stay but we realize it was necessary. it was necessary for the complex. Having Bowman’s beach near by was great!

2/2 SandDollars, CLUB, Boat Slip
The host is fantastic, very responsive and very helpful. The place was very nice, clean and equipped with everything we needed, including beach chairs and floaties. It was walking distance to the beach. We will definitely be going back.

Your guide to Captiva
All About Captiva
With its neighbor, Sanibel Island, sleepy Captiva is a no-stoplight town that celebrates the simple pleasures of a quintessential Florida beach vacation: white-sand beaches, warm turquoise waters, abundant wildlife, and plenty of seashells down by the seashore. (Featuring some 400 varieties, the Sanibel seashell scene is so famous, it’s even got its own signature posture: the Sanibel Stoop.) Separated from the mainland by Pine Island Sound, this jawbone-shaped strip of land features 25 miles of bike paths, a handful of championship golf courses, and a slew of nature preserves — and there’s even more excitement under the water. Strap on a snorkel for a chance to spot barracudas, nurse sharks, and moray eels hanging out by the shipwrecks and artificial reefs off the coast.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Captiva
Captiva has captivated the imagination of snowbirds from the north, and for good reason. With average highs in the mid-70s Fahrenheit in January, winters here are more than tolerable. Spring and fall are nice, too, with temperatures in the 80s and the sea only a few degrees cooler. Summers are hot, humid, and buggy, with highs in the 90s, so pack your swimsuit, because you’ll be spending most of your time in the Gulf of Mexico, enjoying the 87-degree water. On the plus side: fewer crowds and lower prices.
Top things to do in Captiva
Cayo Costa
You can get to the untouched island of Cayo Costa only by boat or kayak, and a 30-minute cruise from Captiva makes for a nice day trip. The native Calusa used this seven-mile-long islet as fishing grounds; today you can visit for a day of shelling at the beach while keeping an eye out for manatees, porpoises, and sea turtles frolicking in the Gulf waves.
J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge
With more than 240 avian species inhabiting this wildlife refuge in various seasons, this is a birdwatcher’s paradise. Come at low tide to see snowy egrets, tricolored herons, white ibises, and spectacular roseate spoonbills hunting for their dinner. You can drive through the refuge, tour it via a 90-minute tram ride, or rent a kayak, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard and explore freely on the water.
Sanibel Island
A short, 15-minute drive south brings you to family-friendly Sanibel Island, famous for its sunsets, beautiful beaches, and abundant sea shells. Shell collectors from all over come to comb the sands of Bowman’s Beach for sun-bleached cockles and conches. Be sure to visit the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, home to some of the largest mollusks ever found.
