North Captiva Island, Florida
NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND
Thank you for inquiring about Winterhaven bounded by the Gulf of
Mexico on one side and Pine Island Sound on the other. We are on a
barrier island just west of Fort Myers, Florida. We're 500 acres of
state wildlife preserve ... offering world renown shelling,
subtropical foliage and trees, a look at over 100 species of
migrating nesting birds as well as endangered marine life.
Dolphins and manatee play off our shores on this private island. We have
neither public boat docks or public facilities. There are no bridges
to connect us to the mainland. We are a vanishing breed, one of the
last true out islands in the United States. We have 4 miles of the
most beautiful, serene beaches to be found anywhere on this earth.

inverted style living. The first floor, set on top of 10 foot
pilings has 2/3 bedrooms, 2 screened-in porches and 2 baths. On the second

Our family had a fantastic time staying here. Other than some dirty dishes and issues with the electric golf cart, we enjoyed all of our time. The property owner was very quick to respond to inquiries and the property was in good condition relative to the price to stay there. Access to the Safety Harbor Club ameneties provide a much calmer experience with far fewer people compared to the Island Club pool, and you can always head to Mangos for a drink or bite to eat. The property itself is within easy walking distance to the beach and nature trail. The house is also setup perfectly for a family of four. We used Island Girl Charters and Fresh Pick food delivery service, with zero issues.

Highly recommended. Lovely beach home just a few steps from one of the best beaches in Southwest Florida. Guest services were spot on, and the host is instantly available for any questions. North Captiva is a magical and beautiful place. If you have a chance to come to Southwest Florida don’t miss this great home and glorious location.

This was exactly what we needed! The house provided us a place to lay our heads until we could get back out to the real attraction, the beach. It had been many years since I had last been to the island and the hurricane did impact nearly every property, except this one! The house was clean and comfortable and allowed us to cook dinner each night. We would have enjoyed a dinner out but there are currently no dinner restaurants open on the island. Or breakfast for that matter. Not the host’s fault obviously. Make sure to bring all you need (or order groceries ahead of time) and you will be ok. We managed ok but would have been nice to have that information updated on Google. But if your goal is to relax in place a less than two min walk from the beach, on a modest budget, then this place hits the mark.
