About this house rental

This beautiful home (sleeps 6 adults and 4 children) is extremely close to the ocean and a Florida sugar sand beach which is often uninhabited except by wading birds, ghost crabs, osprey and snook. This property features direct beach access so you can walk right onto the beach and into the Gulf of Mexico located about 100 steps from our front door. North Captiva Island features some of the most secluded beaches in the continental United States. Many times of the year, your family may be the only ones on the beach.

North Captiva Island is only accessible by water taxi and there are no cars on the island. Transportation on the island is by golf cart which is provided with your rental, walking or bicycle. There are no paved roads, only sandy paths winding through tropical vegetation. It is truly a unique setting. Palm trees, gumbo limbo trees and beautiful flowers are everywhere.

Our favorite activities are fishing, shelling, swimming and exploring the beach and state land. There are a large number of wading birds, gopher tortoises, raccoons, brown pelicans, osprey, egrets, cormorants, bald eagles, ibis and sanderlings. There are two very nice swimming pools maintained by our island club a short walk or golf cart drive from our house. Kayaks and bicycles are also available at no charge through the island club. Tarpon, sea trout, red fish, snook, and snapper may be caught from the shore. Shelling is a daily activity on the island. North Captiva is often described as the shelling capital of North America.

Our house, Perfect Placement, is beautifully appointed and completely remodeled after hurricane Charlie. The kitchen is large and modern with Corian counters, new appliances and gulf views. The house is large enough that 2 families of four can stay comfortably. There are 2 bedrooms on the first floor: a master bedroom with a gulf view and a guest bedroom with a double bed. There are 2 full baths on the first floor. On the second floor there is a large bedroom with a private porch and an excellent gulf view which could serve as a second master bedroom. There is also a bunk bed room with 2 sets of bunk beds providing sleeping for 4 children. Both bedrooms share a hall bath.

Because the house is on the west shore of North Captiva we are often witness to stunning sunsets which can be observed from your bedroom or the back deck. Don't forget your camera to help capture some memories. If you are lucky you may see Dolphin playing in the surf, Tarpon showing past the first breakers and the legendary stoop of the brown pelican fishing. This has got to be one of the prettiest and most unusual places you will ever see.

My overall experience exceeding my expectations. As it was my first time visiting North Captiva, I was nervous about the process of getting to the island and stocking the fridge with ample groceries for twin teen daughters and an 8 year old boy. Shally’s (the property management) made it seamless. I took all of their suggestions- Pine Island Taxi picked us up at the airport- they tracked our delayed fight which was so helpful. We were dropped right at Island Girl charters who loaded our luggage for the short ferry ride (about 20 mins) to the island. From there, Shally’s met us, took our luggage and delivered it to our house and showed us to our golf cart which we drove to the house (following them). We opted to order our groceries at Publix using Shally’s Form. For a 25% fee Shally’s delivered the groceries to our kitchen to put away. So worth it and MUCH cheaper than Instacart. So convenient. The house was spacious enough for my family (5) and my sisters’ (5). It was just a very short walk to the pristine Caribbean-like waters of the gulf! The island store has ice cream- that’s about it. The only restaurants open are Mangos, the poolside cafe, and Over the Waterfront, which books up quickly. In my opinion, both were overpriced for the quality of food so bringing your own groceries seems smarter. In the summer it is VERY hot on the island- too hot to utilize bike or kayak rentals for us. Kids were sometimes bored. But it was a very relaxing, safe family getaway.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was so nice and supplied with everything that we needed! It has the most incredible views and Tropical Foliage! You will feel like you are on a Tropical Island in the Caribbean! Love Love Loved our stay! The only negative thing about this trip was that we had to leave when our week was up!

This week felt like it was out of a dream. Everything was perfect- the transportation to the island was smooth, the location of the house cannot be beat, and the house was spacious and comfortable . We had 3 generations in our group and Perfect Placement was the perfect size and layout for us. Communication with the property managers was excellent, as was their grocery stocking service. The beach was so close to the house even our little kids carried all their own toys there. There is also a little sandy area outside of the house where the kids would sit sorting seashells for ages, and the adults could sit up on the deck and keep an eye on them. The outdoor shower was our favorite amenity- the kids thought it was so cool to shower outside. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with our family! It was a week we will never forget- and hope to make an annual vacation.

This vacation was everything we hoped it would be! The location can’t be beat. We enjoyed every sunset (and moon set) from the patio off the kitchen. This was probably our favorite place in the house! One of the most relaxing vacations we’ve had and can’t wait to get back! Thanks so much for sharing your home!

This was our third time to North Captiva and the second time to Perfect Placement. It certainly will not be our last to Perfect Placement. Alicia was more than accommodating by shifting our dates a few days when one of our family members on the trip had a death in their family. The house is top notch inside and out and well appointed. The foliage surrounding this house is the best on the island. We had an issue with one of the carts not holding a charge so I called the property manager and in less than a half an hour they had a replacement there for us. Shawn and Ally were great making sure all our supplies were delivered before we arrived so we had nothing to do other than enjoy our trip. The only negative thing about this house is you have to leave!
