The house has a huge screened-in wraparound porch on the main level that offers areas to dine, nap, read or have an intimate conversation. On the main level is the kitchen, dining room and living room....each with a big slider to the porch. Two bedrooms (both have king beds) are on this level along with 2 baths. The upper level is a beautiful octagon shaped room with a futon for extra sleeping. From there, go up to the Crow's Nest for beautiful 360 degree views of the island. Watch the sunrise over Pine Island Sound and catch the most spectacular sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico. Get around the island using the provided golf cart.

Raj and crew were super attentive throughout our stay. Owner was very communicative leading up to our trip. The house was perfect for our group of 4 and the bonus room is very relaxing to listen to the ocean and wind through the trees. Very happy with our stay!

Best house we've stayed in on the island. The location was great and the views from the upper decks were amazing, during the day and night. The wrap around deck was lovely with patio sets all the way around, and my husband and son loved the hammocks(there are 3). The layout of the house worked well for the 4 of us. My son loved staying on the top floor and having his private space. I liked the octagon shape of the house so much because of the decks. The decor and furnishings are good with really comfortable beds. When we were out and about we would run into the caretaker Raj and his wife. We really enjoyed talking with them,such nice people!!! The owner and caretaker are the best! Great communication before,during, and after our trip. Highly recommend this house!

This is our 2nd year at LaySea 8. We enjoy house because it is so close to the beach and reserve. It is a very comfortable home. When we are not at the beach we spend all of our time an the deck relaxing in hammocks or just chilling with family. We will definitely be back in 2024!

Beautiful as always. Our favorite location. House is also beautiful but needs a few small things. Just a bit of TLC. But Cheryl and Jenny are great and the communication is fantastic. Second time booking this house.

By far the best vacation I've ever taken, very relaxing, and the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The house was just perfect. Beds were so comfortable, best sleep I've had in years. I can't wait to return.

Island Life as it Should Be
Island Life as it Should Be
LaySea 8 is a wonderful place to spend time on North Captiva Island. Comfortable, clean and quiet. all of the needed amenities (and then some) are provided. Within easy walking distance to an amazing shell-covered Gulf of Mexico beach. The decor gives it a great sense of place; bright, open, airy and very island-like. The Florida Keystone fireplace is beautiful. The wrap-around screened deck allows one to be outside to enjoy the island salt air breezes in comfort. The octagon shaped loft with 360 degree windows provides amazing views of the island, in air conditioning on those hot Florida summer afternoons. And the captain's walk... From three floors up on the captain's walk you can see for miles in every direction. It is a great place to watch the sunrise over Pine Island Sound and sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. The host and property managers were a pleasure to deal with – friendly and responsive. This home is a true gem!
