About this house rental
Our Sun & Moon House, a 3 br/3 bath Key West-inspired home on popular Wightman Lane, is only a three-minute walk down the sandy lane to the beach -- rated the most romantic for its calm, warm water, tropical atmosphere, and gorgeous sunsets. The restaurants in the village are just as close. And please note, we're on Captiva Island where you can drive to, unlike North Captiva - a totally separate destination - where no cars are permitted.
The decor is always kept updated and amenities reflect a finished, comfortable home, rather than a rental unit. The new kitchen is fully equipped for any entertaining needs. Dining choices include a dining room or the screened, furnished lanai by the re-finished swimming pool and paver stone-covered pool deck, or even the furnished sun & moon deck on the top level.
The glass-sided living room, with a leather, super comfortable sleeper sofa and side chairs, offers a panoramic view of the swimming pool and the tropical foliage. The entertainment center has a 50" Smart LCD HDTV, DVD, and a Bluetooth connected 100-watt Onkyo stereo receiver, 6-disc CD changer and Infinity speakers inside and JBL poolside speakers. A large collection of CDs are provided. Wireless Comcast Internet and long-Comcast free calling in the 48 states. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, ice coolers, and handy beach cart make for an easy beach day.
The master bedroom on the second floor has a king-size bed, its own full bath, and 43" Smart HDTV. The "sun & moon" deck is accessible from this room as well as the hallway.
The second-floor guest bedroom has two twin beds, HDTV/DVD, and its own full bath in the room. Children love this spacious and well decorated and equipped room.
The first-floor guest room, separated from the main living area for privacy, has a full bath, desk workspace, and 32" wall-mounted HDTV. It's perfect for another couple, the grandparents, or a nanny for the children.
Naturally, all linens are provided and you'll find everything in perfect, move-in condition. Beach towels, lounge chairs, and umbrellas are provided for the beach. Our pool lanai is totally furnished and a new Weber gas grill is ready for a cookout.
Even more information: Bikes for adults or children can be rented and delivered to your door. The restaurants in Captiva's village are no more than a two to three-minute walk away. Our Guest Guide, found in the living room, lists many of our personal recommendations to get your vacation started quickly.
This home is not with a management company. It is managed and prepared personally by us, the owners. We personally supervise and assist our cleaning staff each Saturday. As the last to walk out the door prior to your arrival, we can assure you the Sun & Moon is one of the most immaculate and best-prepared homes on Captiva, both inside and outside.
We accept only Saturday to Saturday reservations, as is the standard on Captiva Island. We accept reservations no further than a year in advance, as current guests have the first option to reserve the same week the following year. If the guests do not re-book by 10 am of their departure day, a new reservation request may be accepted.
We also personally own and manage our smaller Mermaid House, VRBO 3506022, a classic Captiva cottage-style home. You are assured of a perfectly prepared house, both inside and out, as we're the last to leave the house before you arrive.
Make your reservation today before your desired week is taken.

Larry was a great host. My son left his wedding ring behind and Larry was kind enough to mail it to us. House is in a great location. Short walk to beach, restaurants and souvenir store. Kitchen is equipped with most everything you need to cook. Pool is added bonus. We had a good time during Christmas week.

Amazing property. The owner is absolutely fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for the week. Within walking distance to everything in Captiva and close to the beach. Book with confidence

We were three adults and two grandchildren. The pool at this house is lap-style which was perfect for us, much superior to a rounder pool. There could be two different games going on at the two ends and adults got to do laps. It is shallow at the ends and deeper in the middle, also a great thing. (One wish: that the steps to the pool at the street side could be repaired so one could exit from that end.) The cleaning system uses salt rather than chlorine which is fantastic. Super clean.Kitchen: minimal cooking equipment, but enough for us. Dishwasher is a bit elderly, but worked fine. Two different kinds of coffee pots: automatic drip and Keurig.Living area is comfortable and there are tons of CDs and a sound system that has speakers at the pool. Ceiling fans in every room. AC worked well.Everything was very, very clean. Downstairs bathroom is a bit tight but manageable. Showers are excellent, as is hot water supply. Soap was provided, a very nice extra touch. To consider: installing grab bars in the showers.Beds are great. There could be more pillows and the extras should probably have pillow cases for hygiene and preserving them.The beach is just down the block and there are very few cars on the street (almost none; we walked in the middle of the street.) Umbrellas (two!), numerous chairs and a big beach cart are provided. The surf is minimal and there is okay shelling. Walking distance to great restaurants. Iguanas of all sizes, ospreys and turtles thrilled the kids.
