About this house rental

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Because it really, truly is โ€” welcome to Life's a Beach, a newly decorated and refreshed beach cottage on beautiful Wightman Lane in Captiva Village that perfectly captures the joy, color, and easy magic of island living. โ˜€๏ธ From the masterwork tropical garden to the covered hot tub, the skylights to the vibrant pergola-adorned outdoor spaces, Life's a Beach is a vacation home that makes you smile from the moment you arrive.

๐ŸŒบ Wightman Lane is one of Captiva Island's most desirable village addresses โ€” quiet, sandy, and lined with tropical beauty, yet steps from the warm Gulf of Mexico waters and a short stroll from the island's best dining, shopping, and outdoor adventures. The Captiva Village restaurants, the Island Store, and all the island fun are within easy walking distance. ๐ŸŒด

๐ŸŒฟ The grounds at Life's a Beach are a true work of art โ€” a masterfully landscaped tropical garden bursting with flowering shrubs, potted plants, soaring palms, and massive shade trees. Pergola and trellis structures painted in bright, cheerful colors frame the outdoor spaces, while dense privacy hedges create a lush green sanctuary all around. There's a large front sundeck, a picnic area, and a back deck that wraps around the house. ๐ŸŒ…

๐Ÿ› The private covered hot tub in the beautifully landscaped backyard is a highlight โ€” perfect for an evening soak under the stars after a long, glorious day at the beach. A gas grill and outdoor dining table make alfresco meals an everyday pleasure.

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Three bedrooms accommodate up to 8 guests: the primary king en-suite bedroom opens via sliding doors onto the back deck and features a walk-in closet and flat-screen TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third offers a full bed with twin bunk and twin trundle โ€” ideal for families with children. Two full bathrooms serve the home. ๐ŸŒŠ

๐Ÿก Inside, skylights and high ceilings bathe the living room and kitchen in natural light. The kitchen is compact but fully functional and well-equipped โ€” a Keurig, full cookware, and everything for easy island cooking. Central A/C, WiFi, linens, beach towels, and beach chairs/umbrellas are included.

Life's a Beach truly lives up to its name: colorful, joyful, and full of life. This is the Captiva vacation cottage you'll dream about all year and return to every chance you get.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Over the past 32 years I have rented exclusively with American Realty on Captiva. I have stayed in multiple residences from the most expensive to the more moderate, but they all had one thing in common. They were spotless, meticulously maintained, and supported by an outstanding management staff of Lisa, Albert and Alan, who are the top professionals on the island My current stay at Life's A Beach was extremely relaxing and restful Thank you Lisa, Albert and Alan for another perfect vacation. Five Stars plus.
