About this cottage rental

Charming island cottage surrounded by indigenous tropical plants on over one acre of natural vegetation embedded in Captiva Islands secluded and exclusive Gold Coast. Steps away from Captiva's famous (and uncrowded) Gulf Coast beach via deeded beach access. A quiet, private and secluded area to enjoy all the famous and natural amenities of Captiva Island. Simply enjoy collecting some of the shells for which Captiva is famous, swim in the Gulf of Mexico , fish for some well-known game fish, take a hike along the beautiful private Captiva beach or go kayaking, parasailing, boating, bird watching, surfing ... and for your off-beach entertainment simply enjoy the privacy of this rental cottage inside and out with your own heated pool with tanning ledge and gazebo .
Your pet may be accepted with prior approval, and we expect the following: dogs stay off furniture and beds, are not left unsupervised and will be crated if left unattended indoors. You need to vacuum after your pet if it sheds excessively and pick up after your dog.

Captiva Cottage had everything we needed for our relaxing week. We loved the pool and even got to see the bald eagle in the nest next door! The host answered all my questions and even dropped off new batteries for the tv remote. I can't wait to go back!

This was a wonderful vacation (unfortunately, too short). The cottage is very well maintained, clean and confortable. The room on the ground floor is very convenient. My wife and I stayed in that room and my daughters (both in College age) in the cottage in the 2nd floor. Great setup, with privacy and freedom… in summary, great place for a beach vacation… we will certainly return…

My wife and I celebrated our birthdays and anniversary there. All on the same day! It was private, peaceful, and beautiful! So close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Our host was very kind and knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. Fully recommend a stay at her property. Loved the edible landscape!

Margarethe's island hideaway is an absolute gem. From it's seclusion to close proximity to the beach and amazing water to the pool with painted turtles in the pool floor and pineapple plants - dont forget the pineapple plants. This place has it all and the price is well below some of the other places you'll see for Captiva. It really does check all the boxes. I would say that if you have difficulty navigating stairs then this is probably not the place for you as the main part of the house is on the upper level and the stairs could be difficult for some. Really a wonderful stay in Captiva.

We had a wonderful week at the Captiva Cottage. The location can’t be beat- you practically have the beach, right across the street, to yourself. We also really enjoyed the grounds and the pool and appreciated all of the beach equipment. It was also lovely to be able to bring our dogs and not worry about extra fees or hassle. Agree with some other reviews that the place could use some newer and more comfortable seating in the living room, porch and downstairs area, but we still had a great stay. Would definitely recommend.

If you are looking for a great place to stay in Captiva this home is it! Private beach access across the street, great fenced in pool with tanning deck and gazebo, all sitting on a secluded acre of jungle like property. Grounds are beautiful and definitely make you feel like living on a tropical island. House very clean and recently updated. Traveled with two adults, three kids and our dogs; plenty of room for everyone. Owner Margarethe was great and anything we needed was taken care of. Highly recommend! We will be back!

We absolutely loved our week at Captiva cottage. Margarethe is quite possibly the best hostess ever! She is kind, responsive and helpful. She truly cares about the property and the grounds and it really shows. The cottage is a fantastic location, just a simple (and short) walk across the road to the beach. It's also very well stocked with beach chairs, toys, shovels and a beach buggy to tote it all with ease. The pool is clean and a good size. In fact, everything was clean and well cared for. The only possible improvement would be to add more seating - the downstairs and the porch could have used a comfy couch or two. That doesn't stop me from giving it a 10/10 - truly a wonderful place to stay! Even the grumpy pre-teen declared it to be "the best week of her life" - ! High praise indeed!
