You’ll live up in the tree canopy, where the main living space sits among the leaves. Below, a heated private pool with a sun shelf is waiting for slow, shallow hours in the water. Grown-ups can linger upstairs in the quiet of the trees; the kids have a bunk room to claim as their own, and a golf cart at the door when you’re ready for the beach.

“The house and location are amazing! We had the best time walking to the beach and looking for shells, hopping on the golf cart for nightly ice cream trips, swimming in the pool, and playing each other in ping pong. The neighbors and the concierge service are so friendly. We made so many sweet memories and are grateful for the time on the island.”

“Very beautiful house. Had everything we needed to enjoy our week in Captiva. The screened in room on the ground level was a great place to hang out with friends and family. The pool was refreshing and the grill was brand new. The golf cart looked new and worked perfectly. We really enjoyed our time in this house and would rent it again if it is available.”
Jakob H. · July 2025 · Vrbo
“We loved staying at this property. The house is beautifully decorated and clean. We cooked every dinner at the house and found the kitchen well stocked. This was our first time staying on North Captiva and it’s delightful. We enjoyed the uncrowded beaches and exploring the island. Our kids enjoyed biking around the island and watching the manatees.”
