About this house rental
This beautiful home is right on the 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. 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 and hot tub 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, Beach's Edge, is beautifully appointed and newly updated. The kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances and gulf views. The living room includes new leather couches and flat screen TV. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor: a master bedroom with a gulf view and a guest bedroom with two bunk-beds. There is one full bath on the main floor.
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.

Overall the property presents a stunning setting and access to the beach. We had some issues that we promptly answered or taken care of by the property management company. The only compliant is the bed mattresses were extra firm and a little hard to sleep on depending on what you are used to. Definitely would rent this property again. Duncan with the property management company was great as well.

This was our second time staying at Beach’s Edge and it continues to be our favorite vacation spot. Easily the best views in the island right from your deck! The house is perfect and the addition of the hot tub on the upper deck made our stay even more fun. Kids loved playing on the beach, collecting shells and taking in amazing sunsets. We saw dolphins, osprey, manatee, tortoises etc! This house has plenty of room and had been nicely updated since we last stayed. Downstairs area was a great spot for the grandparents to join us and have their own space! Property managers made the stay easy from checking in to heading out. You can find bigger homes on North Cap but none that are worth the location you give up. You won’t regret choosing Beach s Edge!

This house was better than I could have imagined. This was our first visit to North Captiva and I could not have picked a better location to stay. The views are priceless. We loved everything about the island and the house and will be back for certain. The property owner and management co was easy to work with and provided us with everything we needed and then some. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful week of memories and fabulous shelling!

Location! Location! Location! This was by far the very best home on the island for beach views and access. As this was our first time to the island, we thought through months of research and planning that we had covered all aspects of the trip. We had not. I highly recommend if you are booking, request your welcome packet at least 2 wks before coming. That checklist is very informative and a must for the things you don’t know but think you do!The owners were absolutely wonderful, and their daughter in law, Alicia, was so very helpful and smoothed every corner we turned.The sunsets were so beautiful and the atmosphere surrounding this island was exactly what we wanted. Free to let the kids (15, 11, 9) to explore without constant supervision. 3-500 yards either direction of the beach and max 50 total ppl on the beach. So low key and relaxing. Most beaches are over crowded the middle of June and on a holiday (Fathers Day) but this one never was. Just the break we were hoping for!Stop your searching and book! It’s well worth it and you will love it. Get your welcome packet early and reserve all your transportation in advance. It’s just easier, rather than sitting and waiting for Lyft, Uber, or taxis.
