Über diese Ferienunterkunft
The Blue Marlin - Beachfront Oasis with Private Beachside Pool & Boat Dock
Ganz neu im Jahr 2017 ist SEA URCHINS ein Ferienhaus wie kein anderes. Mit Panoramablick auf das Wasser und einem flach abfallenden Zuckersandstrand ist es eine wunderschöne, entspannende Kulisse für Ihren Familienurlaub. Sea Urchins befindet sich auf North Captiva Island, einem autofreien Paradies für Strandliebhaber. Die Liegenschaft umfasst mehr als 1 Hektar Land und erstreckt sich entlang der westlichen Grenze zum Safety Harbor, entlang des Salty Approach Airstrip im Norden und des unberührten Pine Island Sound im Osten. Beobachten Sie Delfine, die in den Wellen tummeln, und Pelikane gleiten den ganzen Tag über an Ihrer Veranda vorbei. Genießen Sie atemberaubende Sonnenaufgänge, während Sie Ihren Kaffee auf den Decks genießen und über die Schönheit des Universums nachdenken, während Sie in den dunklen Nachthimmel blicken. Schlafen Sie im Rauschen der Palmenzweige und im friedlichen Wellenrauschen am Ufer ein. Entdecken Sie die atemberaubenden Küstengewässer mit Seekajaks oder Paddle-Boards, die im Mietpreis enthalten sind. Schöne und seltene Wildtiere gibt es zuhauf - von Watvögeln bis zu Seekühen und Meeresschildkröten, um Fische zu sägen. Kilometerlange unberührte Strände stehen auf North Captiva Island oder in der Nähe von Cayo Costa zum Kämmen zur Verfügung. Ein privater Pool am Strand und eine private Bootsanlegestelle mit 2 Liegeplätzen sind ebenfalls vorhanden.
Sea Urchins wurde entwickelt, um Familien, die das Meer lieben, unterzubringen. Es vereint den Geist der Inseln mit seinem entspannten, komfortablen und familienfreundlichen Design. Das Haus ist in private Räume und Versammlungsräume unterteilt, mit weitläufigen Veranden. Der Hauptteil des Hauses umfasst ein großes Familienzimmer mit einer funktionalen, fabelhaften Küche, die als Aktivitätszentrum dient. Eine massive Kücheninsel besteht aus 6 Barhockern und einem Erbstück-Küchentisch für 8 Personen. Der Golf von Mexiko, der Captiva Pass und die Insel Cayo Costa können alle vom Spülbecken und vom Herd aus gesehen werden. Ein großer 55 "Fernseher ist über dem Kamin montiert und kann von jedem Platz im Raum aus angesehen werden. Zwei pralle, gemütliche Sofas und eine Lesekabine mit einer Queensize-Matratze bieten bequeme Orte zum Entspannen. Die Truhe eines alten Seemanns ist mit Karten und Brettspielen für den Familienabend gefüllt.
Der zweite Teil des Hauses umfasst private Schlafzimmer, Badezimmer und eine große Waschküche mit Waschmaschine und Trockner mit hoher Kapazität. Das Abacos-Schlafzimmer verfügt über ein Queensize-Bett und ein angrenzendes WC mit einer französischen Tür, die zum Deck führt. Große Fenster bieten einen atemberaubenden Blick auf den Sound. Das Captiva-Schlafzimmer nebenan bietet einen Panoramablick auf das Wasser und eine Fenstertür, die zum umlaufenden Deck führt. Es verfügt über ein Queensize-Bett und ein großes Hauptbad mit ebenerdiger Dusche. Das Rookery-Schlafzimmer auf der anderen Seite des Flurs verfügt über ein Queensize-Bett und eine französische Tür, die zum Deck und zur Außendusche führt. Die Außendusche bietet auch Blick auf den Strand und nachts auf den spektakulären Sternenhimmel. Über 1.480 Quadratmeter erhöhtes Deck wickeln sich um das Haus und bieten viele Möglichkeiten zum Sonnenbaden und Entspannen. Der Schlafraum verfügt über 4 Einzelbetten, einen Fernseher mit DVD-Player und viele Spielsachen und Spiele für Jung und Alt. Ein großes Gästebad verfügt über zwei Waschbecken, eine Dusche und eine flache Badewanne für die Schaumbäder der kleinen Jungen.
Ein Großteil des Charmes von Sea Urchins kommt von seinen Vintage-Möbeln und zurückgewonnenen architektonischen Details. Der wiedergewonnene Bodenbelag aus Kiefernholz stammt aus einer Whiskybrennerei in Kentucky aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. die alten Schiffslichter wurden von alten Durchgangsschiffen geborgen; Ein Großteil der Möbel wurde aus recyceltem Bootsholz hergestellt. und sogar der riesige Marlin, der über den Küchenschränken hängt, war ein Schatz aus dem Flohmarkt von Pine Island (renoviert von einem örtlichen Präparator). Sea Urchins befindet sich auf einem historischen Stück Land, das einst von den Eingeborenen der Caloosa genutzt wurde, vom König von Spanien beansprucht, von frühen Küstenpionieren und Fischern um die Jahrhundertwende genutzt und von der Familie Kinsey für die Verwendung als Sand geräumt wurde Landebahn, die einst von Norden nach Süden entlang der Küste verlief. Obwohl es neu erbaut wurde, bieten das Florida-Design und der meeresliebende Geist von Sea Urchins eine nostalgische Anspielung auf die Vergangenheit. Ein Teil jeder Miete wird an lokale Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen gespendet, die sich für den Schutz der Tierwelt sowie der Meeres- und Küstenumwelt einsetzen.
Sea Urchins befindet sich auf North Captiva, einer brückenlosen subtropischen Barriereinsel mit mehr als acht Kilometern unberührter Sandstrände. Die Insel ist verkehrsfrei, autofrei und sorglos. Elektrische Golfwagen, Fahrräder und Füße sind die einzigen Transportmittel und Schuhe sind optional. Der südliche Teil von North Captiva umfasst mehr als 350 Morgen Naturschutzgebiet. Der Transport vom Festland nach North Captiva erfolgt mit dem Boots- und Wassertaxi, Island Girl Charters, Just For Fun-Fähre, privatem Charter oder Ihrem eigenen Boot. Privater Pool am Strand, privater Bootssteg, ein Golfwagen und mehrere Fahrräder sind im Mietpreis enthalten. Sea Urchins ist Mitglied des North Captiva Island Club und bietet seinen Gästen zahlreiche Annehmlichkeiten, darunter zwei große Pools und Tennisplätze.

The property and the island were so relaxing and peaceful. Not overcrowded at all, really a great place to get away. The property managers were A++ helpful for coordinating coming and going for a property that requires a little more of that to get to by boat.

Loved everything about this property. The location was unbeatable and the property managers did a great job with communication and making sure we had everything we needed. We’ll be back!

Our stay at Blue Marlin was absolutely perfect. The view is spectacular and the house is comfortable and well cared for by the owners. Our only problem was that it was too difficult to leave.

We stayed in the Blue Marlin during spring break 2024. We loved every minute of our trip. The Blue Marlin house is situated on a very unique piece of North Captiva. It has both ocean front and safety harbor shore line, giving you direct beach access and a dock for your boat. The pool and deck area under the house was expansive. The newly planted garden of palm trees gave a real tropical vibe. In the mornings, you have the best view of the sunrise which you can view from inside (lots of big windows) or from the large wrap around deck. At sunset, you can drive/walk a short distance to the beach on the other side of the island to see it.We arrived by private boat which we rented from Speed Dock, one of the owner’s recommended rental businesses. When we got there Tortuga, the management team, unloaded our luggage from the boat and delivered it into the house. That was a very nice service. Duncan is super!
The house has a nice living area/kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and amenities. We had a couple of hiccups at the beginning, but everything was taken care of by the management team in a timely manner.
My only warning about staying in North Captiva is the food situation. We did use Tortuga’s food delivery service. It is expensive, but the worth it in my opinion. Since Hurricane Ian in 2022, NoCap has been rebuilding. Two of the four restaurants are not open. So my biggest recommendation is to have your own boat to get access to other local restaurants on other islands.

Such a dream vacation on your own personal quiet beach.
The daily expansive water views from this property seep into your soul. The only real problem was- that we had to leave. The home is well equipped and provides for a comfortable home away from home experience. The beds are comfortable, the linens soft. The management and owners were kind and responsive. Nature on North Captiva is incredible. Constant dolphin sightings, osprey, manatee (in Safety Harbor), gopher tortoise, and eagles await! The rentable wide tire bikes allow for exploring the island’s nature preserve with ease. The ice cream shop is situated near the bike return.This property is unique in that it borders both the Pine Island Sound on the back,as well as Safety Harbor on the front (accessed via a two part long dock). The home’s lower deck affords enjoyable swimming in the warm private pool, corn hole, grilling, and relaxing on the ample lounge chairs. Our favorites were the mornings spent watching the sunrise on the water from the wrap around balcony, and watching sunsets from the opposite side of the balcony. Plentiful shells abound. The transportation process was made easy by the property’s management team (that helps you load and unload your luggage). The included golf cart was of very good quality. I’m still not entirely sure why we left. A vacation you’ll never regret in a well appointed and beautiful home. The Blue Marlin is a keeper, and worthy of its 5-star rating.

We stayed at the Blue Marlin from June 4, 2023 to June 11, 2023. I was a little apprehensive for this vacation because it isn't your typical vacation. There were alot of things to take care of logistics-wise from transportation to getting food that are very different from normal vacation spots.
First of all, Kelly was one of the best owners to work with. She was very responsive before and during the trip. The management company answered all of our questions quickly and were very responsive with any issues we encountered or had questions on.
The house was unbelievable. It had everything we needed from the pool, to a grill for cooking out, to kayaks, to an outdoor shower and best of all, our own beach!
The grocery service is a must and working with Antoine was great. He took my many calls and answered my questions many times prior to getting down there.
The only thing we had an issue with was there was a barge ship right next to us for the cleanup from the hurricane. We got used to it and will be back to see what it is like when it isn't there.
I saw one quote from someone who vacationed at North Captiva. It went something like this:
"I was worried about what to do on the island, but when I was there, I ended up doing nothing!"
One of the most relaxing trips we ever went on and we definitely plan on going back and staying at the Blue Marlin.

We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this one was the first that was way better than the pictures can even show . You just have to go see it ! The view never gets old ! Our three teenage boys loved it! Even though there is not much to do on the island - it’s amazing beaches, pool as well as tons of water activities and corn hole were perfect and we were never bored. We saw so many dolphins and could almost touch them out on the kayaks and paddle board . Take some games or use the ones there. It was great to play them at the huge dinning table . We used blue marlin charters and rob was great ! Tortuga did a wonderful job ! We felt very taken care of ! Prepare to sit back and relax ! If there was anything I’d mention that I’d change it would be to prepare better for the no see Um bugs . Got lots of bites outside the first night but this is to be expected when living on an island beach . Get some bug spray w your sunscreen . The blue marlin will have a special place in our heart and I hope we will have the privilege to come back again.

We had another wonderful time at Blue Marlin! We have stayed here before and would not stay anywhere else on the island. The location is absolutely perfect and the house is beautiful. Thank you Kelly for making everything perfect and being so responsive. We will be back as soon as we are able.

The setting of the house on the water is amazing! You walk in the front door and just see water through the large sliding glass doors. You have the beach in front, pool in front, runway to your left, and dock at rear, this house has it all. Everything we needed in the kitchen, towels, and bathroom supplies. Tortuga did an awesome job with our groceries and picking us up at the dock. Will be back!

We LOVED staying in this home in PARADISE and look forward to returning! (I am reluctant to post this as I'm afraid that others will find out about this amazing home with the incredible view and it will be booked so much that we can't get back in to stay :))

Perfection
This was our first time to North Captiva and the Blue Marlin and it exceeded our expectations! Kelley and Billy made our trip so easy from how to get there to having our groceries stocked and ready for our arrival. The pictures of this beautiful home and island don’t do it justice! We saw the dolphins and manatees daily, enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards and made great use of the heated pool. We can’t wait to return next year!

Such a beautiful house
Loved this house!! Kelly has stocked it to the max, we really didn't need to bring anything besides our clothes and food we wanted to eat. With that being said, the house is beautiful and beautifully decorated, amazing views, nice towels, bedding, etc. My daughter and her boyfriend loved taking the kayaks out and hanging out with the dolphins. Already planning our next vacation to come back! Thank you Kelly for everything..

We had a great stay at The Blue Marlin! The house is so clean and equipped with everything you might want for a beach vacation.

Beautiful property and house
The house is absolutely beautiful. It is well designed and well kept with excellent facilities. The view is great. Most days we just sat on the back porch and watched the dolphins. We lost count of how many we saw. We would definitely recommend this property. There were only 2 of us with a small dog and the property is probably best suited for a larger group but we loved having the whole place to ourselves.

Amazing Week . . . Amazing Property
I am writing this review on behalf of three couples who who spent a wonderful week at The Blue Marlin last week. The house and property exceeded all of our expectations! The pictures on line were wonderful and drew us to want to stay there, but there is no way pictures could do this place justice. Absolutely breathtaking. The deck, pool, landscaping, and location were awesome. Ideal sunrise views and great place to chill in the evenings with a glass of wine and some locally caught grilled snapper. Spacious great room, nicely equipped kitchen, and large dining room table (with one of the best views in North Captiva) made our stay enjoyable and memorable. Attention to detail was impressive . . . Everything from the color scheme to nautical accents to the reading nook / day bed to the ice cream maker (they sent ahead recipes and instruction manual which was a nice touch). Bedrooms were nicely appointed and worked for the 6 of us. Oddly enough, a highlight was the outdoor shower on the upper deck. Very discrete . . . Something liberating about a shower outside with a wonderful view.
Every part of our logistics, getting groceries stocked, carts delivered to dock, and communications to / from the owners and Billy (the House Manager) took most of the stress out of getting in and settled. We did hire Billy, who is also private chef, to cook a pretty amazing meal one night . . . Great food and a great time. Made use of the dock for Capt Mark (of Olde Salty Island Charters) to pick us up & drop us off for an incredible fishing charter. Very nice to have that dock. Only issue we had was large industrial ice maker on the lower deck had died. They were responsive to get it fixed, but compressor was out and no way it would get fixed during our stay. Inside ice maker was a God send and kept us with enough ice for the week.
What did we do? Our first answer is “NOTHING” and it was fabulous. In reality, we snorkeled off the beach, swam, made use of kayaks & paddle boards, looked for shells and sea life, explored the island, chartered a fishing boat, watched sunsets and sunrises, played games, drank some wine and rum drinks, cooked some amazing meals and RELAXED!
In closing The Blue Marlin is a beautiful setting for a very relaxing and chill vacation. Highly recommend it and will be back!

Best Property on the Island
We have stayed on the island a few times in the past years, in different properties. This is by far the best house we have stayed at on the island and we will rebook for next year. The owners were so gracious and very accommodating. They made sure that we had everything we needed, and helped immediately if an issue arose. Best Vacation in many years!
Thanks,
Jack

Great Vacation!
My family and I stayed here for a week. It was so relaxing, the location can't be beat. Spending evenings in the pool or on the balcony enjoying the sounds, it's exactly what we needed. Seashells galore, if you're into shelling. We had a great time exploring the island and the great burgers at Mango's. Cabbage Key is adorable, with more great burgers. The house was very clean, definitely met my high standards. The hosts were great, communication was exceptional, and we had the most delicious homemade cookies waiting for us. All in all, our family had a great time at Sea Urchins and your family will too.

Amazing Vacation!!
Coming from the mountains, I cannot express enough what a wonderful vacation home this was! Honestly, it has everything! Not everyone always wants to do the same thing and this house has so many options for everyone - the pool is fantastic and so close to the beach - the cool walkway to the private dock - outdoor shower - great furniture, inside and out - the convenience of a big ice machine - amazing hammocks, plus games and pool/beach toys galore. We enjoyed the SUPs and kayaks and also ended up swimming with manatees on the Gulf side. We caught (and released) lots of starfish, conchs, crabs, sea urchins, plus had many dolphin sightings.
Sandy was fantastic, very hospitable and had great communication before and throughout the vacay! We had groceries delivered and rented a boat for a few days so all of the recommendations Sandy gave were top notch! We can't wait to go back!

We had an amazing week at Sea Urchins with our 3 kids, 2 grandmas and dogs. The house is stunning and the views are spectacular. It’s super clean and the beds are comfy. We loved watching all the wildlife and planes and helicopters at the airstrip next door. Kayaking and stand up paddle boarding with the dolphins was a favorite among our group. The island is super laid back and also very well upkept. The whole island feels like a luxurious resort. We loved that it was gold carts only. The owners are super helpful and did everything to make sure we had a luxurious, relaxing vacation. Thanks for sharing your home! We would definitely love to stay here again!

Best house on the island!!
We had such a wonderful vacation at this home!! The location is absolutely ideal - close to everything, dolphins swimming just offshore, beautiful sunrise views, right on the kid-friendly beach! The house is beautiful inside and out - highlight is the wrap around porch overlooking the beach/pool, loved the pool and deck/game space, used the kayaks and paddle boards daily! Excellent overall set-up for an extended family with young kids!! Sandy and Charlie were wonderful hosts! All was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We can’t wait to vacation here again!

Perfect vacation!!!
We couldn’t say better things about Sea Urchins. Sandy was an amazing host! She was so responsive with a few hiccups that we had. The property was amazing; I’m willing to bet the best on the island. The house was so well equipped! Toys for the kids, every paper product you could think of and plenty of spices and cooking products. We definitely could have brought much less with us than what we did. This is definitely a 5 star property!!!

Awesome week long stay
Sea Urchins is absolutely wonderful. The house is decorated beautifully and everything is very comfortable, with all the amenities. You can’t beat the view from the deck where dolphins were seen daily. Sandy gave us all sorts of great details on everything needed for our stay. Our family had a awesome weeklong relaxing, much needed vacation. N Captiva is such a neat and beautiful island away from the hustle and bustle. We will definitely be back!!

We loved our two week stay at Sea Urchins. My three daughters were all home on their college breaks so we were looking for a spot to vacation and relax together over the holidays. I read every review before booking and they were spot on! Sandy and family are the perfect hosts! They are friendly, great communicators, helpful in so many ways and have thought of everything to make our stay easy and enjoyable! The house is in the perfect location on the island and is absolutely adorable. From the layout, to the decor and amenities- we didn't want to leave at the end of our two weeks! We used the pool, kayaks, paddle boards and ping pong table. Watching the sunrise from the deck every morning will be one of my many favorite memories. Shelling is another favorite memory... the shells are amazing and abundant! A few recommendations for those visiting North Captiva for the first time--Definitely order your groceries and have them picked up and placed in the kitchen before your arrival with Emily. It's so worth it and much more!-We booked a private water taxi to and from the island with Boats and Fun. And, totally worth it especially if you are a large group with a lot of luggage.My family and I have been visiting Sanibel and Captiva Islands for years. We stumbled upon North Captiva and Sea Urchins thru VRBO. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation with lots of family time. We can't wait for our next stay at Sea Urchins! It really is the most relaxing family vacation ever!

Everything was so easy, from the check in process, to our stay, the house was VERY well equipped and spotless. They had everything available that you could think of and some things you hadn't thought of. Although I will say, definitely don't forget bug spray like I did! The no-seeums loved me. But that was my fault for forgetting, I won't make that mistake again. It was so relaxing. Having coffee on the deck every morning and watching the dolphins, pelicans, osprey and great egret play in and around the water was amazing. We found SO MANY shells on the beach in front of the house and the beach over by gulf drive. There's a little beach path flanked by trees with sea shells hanging in the trees. I highly recommend exploring every inch of the island with the gulf cart, bikes and walking.
I'm already hoping to come back next year and making it a yearly tradition!

Incredible Oasis
This property is absolutely stunning! Excellent location with beach and private dock access. We rented a boat for several days and were able to easily dock and access it. The house is beautifully decorated, well stocked with towels, beach towels, paper products, and everything you can imagine in a kitchen. We cooked meals everyday and had everything we needed. We were about a 2 min golf cart drive from a yummy local bar/restaurant and ice cream shop. The pool area was the favorite for my kids (ages 4&3). The adults loved the easy access to great fishing spots! The wrap around porch was fabulous to relax on day and night. North Captiva beaches are loaded with beautiful sea shells to collect as souvenirs. We found sand dollars, star fish, and a beautiful variety of shells. The owners were fantastic to work with and are just wonderful people. We explored the whole island and concluded that this was truly the best house on it! The location is just unmatched. Our family had a wonderful vacation at Sea Urchins and highly recommend choosing this property!

Pure Relaxation
Everything was first class from original booking to checking out. Sandy was fantastic. We booked the trip so our kids wouldn’t miss trick or treating and Sandy had 2 pumpkins plus carving kits for our kids with candy. She even brought in special bikes for our kids to ride.
The house was gorgeous. The pictures really don’t do it justice. The location on the island couldn’t be better. The house was very clean. Great layout. All the things you could want for the beach, pool, ping pong, etc were all provided.
A+ experience and best experience we’ve had renting a house. Highly recommend Sea Urchins. It was great!

Excellent Vacation Home and Outstanding Owners
This is an outstanding property with all the amenities. The rental experience was awesome as we felt like we were renting from friends. We are grateful the Cooper's make their home available. We would highly recommend renting this property. It was a less expensive all inclusive. We were met by the Cooper's upon arrival, the family assisted us groceries and handled even the smallest issues (not many) throughout the week. Countless hours sitting on the deck enjoying the view. The best rental experience Ever and as a large family, not always easy. Cannot recommend any higher.

Exceptional place for a family vacation
Sea Urchins is a wonderful property that has the perfect configuration for a large family. The property manager is great to work with and goes the extra mile for guests. My family made a lot of memories during this visit and we plan to come back to visit soon. I would highly recommend staying at this property.

Beautiful Sea Urchins was our home for one week! Six adults and two children enjoyed our stay so much! First time on the island was so amazing! Biking, golf carting, swimming, beach shelling, enjoying the pool, enjoying our family!! Sandy & family were wonderful hosts and answered all our questions. Would love to come back again!! ❤️❤️
