About this house rental

๐ŸŒด Step back in time and fall in love with old Florida charm at Island House โ€” a beautiful historic cottage in the classic Florida style, nestled in the heart of Captiva Village. โ˜€๏ธ This one-of-a-kind vacation home blends the character and warmth of Captiva Island's architectural heritage with all the modern comforts you need for a perfect beach getaway.

๐Ÿก Island House sits right in the Village, with an easy walk to the beach, beloved restaurants, boutique shops, and all the outdoor adventures Captiva has to offer. Whether you're wandering Andy Rosse Lane for souvenirs, dining on fresh Gulf seafood at the Green Flash Restaurant, or cycling along the island's scenic paths, you'll love having everything within strolling distance. ๐ŸŒŠ And the Gulf of Mexico beach is just a short walk away whenever the call of the waves becomes irresistible.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ The main house features two cozy bedrooms โ€” a king and a twin โ€” plus a small additional room with a twin day bed, and two full bathrooms. It's a perfect configuration for a small family, a couple with children, or two close friends. ๐ŸŒบ The Florida-style interiors are warm, authentic, and wonderfully charming โ€” this isn't a generic rental; it's a piece of Captiva's soul.

๐Ÿ  What makes Island House truly special is the optional upstairs apartment โ€” a flexible bonus space featuring a bedroom with twin beds, an additional twin bed in the living room, and a private bathroom. When rented together with the main house, Island House accommodates up to 7 guests total, making it uniquely versatile for groups of varying size or for families who want a bit of extra space and separation.

๐Ÿณ Both the main house and upstairs apartment feature fully equipped kitchens with Keurig coffee makers, toasters, and all the cooking essentials. Central A/C, linens, beach towels, washer/dryer, and WiFi are all included. ๐Ÿ“ถ Beach chairs and umbrellas are provided so you're ready to hit the sand the moment inspiration strikes.

The historic character of Island House โ€” from its classic Florida architecture to its cozy, cottage-style interiors โ€” gives it a personality that modern construction simply cannot replicate. There's a story here, a sense of place, an authenticity that makes every stay feel genuinely special.

Whether you're a couple seeking a quiet romantic escape, a small family looking for a charming base camp for island exploration, or a group of 7 wanting flexible space, Island House delivers a Captiva experience that is utterly unique.

We have 4 kids (17, 13, 11, 9) and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved being in the living quarters upstairs. 5 minute walk to the beach. 1-5 min walk to all restaurants. The property owner is most helpful and kind property owner I have rented from. Beach chairs, beach toys and towels are neatly provided. Everything describing the house and the reviews I read were extremely accurate. Would stay at this location again in a heartbeat.
