Mike was extremely gracious and easy to work with. From initial booking details, to checking-in during the trip, it was a 10/10 experience. The condo has everything you need with an easy walk or cart ride to one of the many beaches (we like heading down Escondido). We can't wait to return.

We communicated with Mike and his caretakers prior to, and throughout, our stay. All of the information that we needed for planning was provided ahead of time and Mike was more than generous in his responses to questions. The townhome was the perfect setup for myself, my wife, and our two children (13 & 11). We highly suggest you heed their recommendations...take the Island Girl Ferry and have their Property Managers, Shally Seashells, deliver and stock your groceries..it is well worth the additional fee. The ferry dropped us off less than 200' from the front door and Tori from Shally's picked up our luggage and brought it right to each room. Within 20 minutes of arrival we were unpacked, food was put away, and we were off on the provided golf cart to explore the island. The location really couldn't have been better. We walked over and fished off of the pier each morning and evening (caught Mangro Snapper, Pompano, Grouper, and a large puffer fish), watched beautiful sunrises right from the screened porch, a short walk/cart ride to the tennis courts and heated community pool, few minute walk to the nearest beach, and we grabbed dinner one night right at Over the Water restaurant just steps from the house (byob). The house was extremely clean, well stocked, and we wanted for nothing. We were fortunate enough to cross paths with Mikes wife, Sarah, on our way out and she was a delight. Thank you for sharing Sandy Tundra with us Mike and Sarah..we will be back! The Atkinsons

We had a wonderful week-long stay and appreciate the beautiful home and area. It is wonderful to see everything getting back to normal and Sandy Tundra was in top shape! We fished every day with our charter captain, caught snook, red fish, snapper, even a shark! The water and the Islands are absolutely beautiful and clear and the foliage is coming back for sure!
Thanks to Ally for all her help. Service was impeccable and she made sure we had everything we needed! We will be back!

We had a great time at this townhouse. This home is equipped with everything you need so pack light. The sunrise each morning right out the front was incredible. The owners Mike & Sarah were great to work with and stayed in touch during our stay to be sure everything was going well. The couple of small issues that we did have, the property management, Shally's Seashells, took care of things promptly. We loved our 1st trip to NCI and plan to return again.

Beautiful!!!
The Sandy Tundra was perfect for our family of 4. It had everything we needed to make our trip really enjoyable from beach chairs, beach toys to pickle ball paddles. (We played every day!) We watched the sun rise from the balcony and then drove a few short minutes to the BEAUTIFUL beach and would spend the rest of the day there. The island is awesome. We loved seeing all of the different animals from the birds to the gopher tortoises! The property owners (Mike and Sarah) and management team (Sean and Ally) were all very helpful in making sure we enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our trip, and can't wait to return! Thank you so much for sharing Sandy Tundra with us!!

The property was clean and gave us the room to spread out - much more than hotels. We loved using the kayak and golf cart to get everywhere. We also loved how easy it was to walk everywhere. The beach chairs were great to have. The kitchen had many spices and lots of glasses - made it easy to make drinks and dinner. We had a great week.

We stayed at Sandy Tundra for a week in January with our three children - one teen and two adults - as we were getting married on the beach. The home is lovely, the property managers are sweet and helpful, and the owners are incredibly attentive. Oh, and the island...the island is incredible. I highly recommend the entire experience.

Awesome stay and will be back
Our stay at safety harbor was amazing. Starting with the “boats and fun” boat taxi to the island which was seamless. Shally property management and property owner (mike) were dependable responsive and proactively followed up to make sure are vacation was perfect. The property/location enabled seeing the sunrise every morning from our front porch, close to all restaurants, had all the amenities needed for beach/cooking. We saw turtles, bald eagles, osprey’s and manatees. Loved having the cart which made accessing everything easy . We definitely will be back.

We stayed at Sandy Tundra the week after Christmas on a last minute change of plans. A quick phone call to Mike (who was fantastic) had us sold on how wonderful the island is and how easy this whole process would be. He was correct! Shally’s Seashells met us at the dock and handled everything from island transport to grocery shopping to last minute seafood and drink orders. We used Boats & Fun to get there and they were great. The rental was perfectly equipped for our family of 5. All needs were considered from water bottles to beach chairs to towels to laundry detergent. The golf cart was our favorite and accommodations very comfortable. There was plenty of space for sleeping and a smaller gathering area inside. The screened in porch was perfect and seating area outside great for spreading out. Small things like good WI-FI, responsive management and good drinking water made a difference. This unit is located in the Safety Harbor Club and convenient to everything. We enjoyed abundant fishing off the dock, short rides to see manatees, dolphins, and gorgeous beaches. We loved Barnacle’s and also having dinner on NYE at Over the Water. Thank you to all those involved for making this our best vacation as a family.

We had a great time visiting North Captiva and staying at the Sandy Tundra! The property was clean and well stocked. I enjoyed every morning on the screened-in balcony with my coffee. The new washer/dryer was a dream and the towels smelled delightful! My only tip for new visitors is: buy extra groceries! I planned for the amount my family would normally eat and my boys ate so much more! Definitely have the groceries delivered as well. Sean and Ally were super communicative, welcoming and overall amazing property managers! Thanks for a peace of paradise!

This was such a unique experience and really a great way to get away from it all. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The beaches were amazing. The owners of the property were available to answer any question we had so we could relax and enjoy our week. Tortuga properties were very helpful with getting our groceries delivered when we ran into an issue with pick up. The house has everything you need for a great stay. Just pack a swimsuit and you're all set.

Sandy Tundra was fabulous.
We’ve stayed on the island too many times to count, but this was our first time at Safety Harbor. The views and breeze on our screened were awesome. The home is very cozy, clean, well furnished and nicely renovated. Tile flooring and wooden steps makes everything fresh and clean. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare your meals and the appliances work well and are clean! We sat in front or our unit and enjoyed our barbecue lunch while looking at the boats and water. Wonderful stay!
