Come and stay at Tarpon Cove and experience true paradise living in a luxury 2 bedrooms 2.5 bath home located on North Captiva Island!!
BEDROOMS
Make yourself at home at Tarpon Cove with two bedrooms located on the first floor. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with a memory foam mattress. The spare bedroom has two queen size beds. Both bedrooms have access to a screened-in deck overlooking beautiful palm trees, one street off of Pine Island Sound, a perfect spot to enjoy the sunrise each morning.
UPSTAIRS LIVING / KITCHEN AREA
Walk upstairs to a bright, spacious living room, dining room and open kitchen with the view of palm treetops and the Gulf of Mexico in the horizon. This open floor plan allows for 6 adults (8 including kids) to sleep, eat and play comfortably. The beautiful granite-top kitchen comes fully stocked for all of your cooking needs including pots, pans, cutlery, and tableware. After grabbing your coffee, walk out onto the top deck right off of the kitchen and enjoy watching those passing by, listen to the birds singing and the rustling of the trees.
Tarpon Cove comes fully stocked with your beach living needs. With beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys and games for kids, this home makes it fun for everyone!
AMENITIES/ATTRACTIONS
Since you 'have to' take a boat ride (we know you are protesting), you will also be able to experience wildlife and nature at it's finest. From dolphin watching on the north end of the island (Dolphin Beach) to nature walks in the preserve and untouched natural beaches on the Gulf of Mexico, to never forgetting sunsets, this tropical paradise makes for a perfect relaxing getaway. Tarpon Cove is located on the north end of the island, (the quiet side). A quick ride by golf cart or bicycle allows for quick access to the beaches at various spots on the island, the two pools at North Captiva Island Club, (membership included with your stay which allows use of kayaks and bikes) or the 3 restaurants on the island if you just don't feel like cooking!
Take a walk to Tarpon Cove's private dock where you can peacefully fish in the incredibly fish-filled water of Pine Island Sound or use it to launch the kayak in the water which is included with your stay.
LOCATION
Tarpon Cove is available for rent throughout the year. This remote location of North Captiva Island is accessible only by ferry or private boat. Booking a ferry is simple & easy and we are here to help! This private island community is just 3 miles offshore, part of the Lee Island Coast barrier island chain in South West Florida. The nearest airport to fly into would be in Fort Myers, FL (RSW). Here, you won't find any cars, any crowds, any paved roads or even grocery stores. Those with smaller children, you don't even need your car seats. Just hop on the golf cart with your kiddos and GO!
North Captiva Island offers a combination of that small-town feel with paradise to give you that perfect beach vacation!
THREE STEPS TO ARRIVE ON NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND
TRAVEL TO NORTH CAPTIVA:
STEP 1:
Travel to North Captiva should begin with checking on great flights to one of the major international airports nearby. SW Florida International (RSW) is a quiet and convenient airport to traverse. Mostly on One level and very easy to access the parking areas, navigating it is truly a pleasure.
Tampa (TPA), Sarasota (SRQ ), and Fort Lauderdale (FLL) are a good distance away to the North or East, but airfare deals often make it rewarding to travel up to 2 hours by car down to Pine Island.
BY CAR
STEP 2:
From the South or North of I-75
To Pineland Marina: Island Girl Charters
From I-75 (exit 143) or US 41, head west on Pine Island Rd. (State Road 78), then take a right on Stringfellow Rd. (State Road 767) in Pine Island Center. Three miles down, take a left on Pineland Road. This will turn into Waterfront Drive and you'll see the Marina on the left, nestled on the shores of Pine Island Sound.
*Important Information: When driving or taking the airport shuttle from Ft Myers International (RSW), allow approximately 2 hour drive time to Pineland Marina.
If you are Grocery Shopping, please account for an additional 45 minutes and make sure you arrive at the Welcome Centers or Marinas at least 30 minutes before your scheduled water taxi departure. (Each ferry will specify how early to arrive)
**Normal ferry operating hours are 9 am - 5 pm. Anything booked after 5 pm can have an 'after-hours' surcharge along with higher rates**
**Checking in after 5:30 pm has a $125 late check-in fee**
BY AIRPORT SHUTTLE
Bringing you to Pine Island's Marinas: Rates are approximately $60 one-way and require a reservation by calling:
Pine Island Taxi (239) 283-7777
Sanibel-Captiva Airport Shuttle (800) 833-4473
BY UBER
Uber drivers can pick you up at either major airport RSW or PGD. The drive time is about the same as the taxi company, but you may have more wait time if your driver is not at the airport waiting for you to arrive. Finding an Uber driver from the airport will be easier than to the airport as Pine Island is a smaller town.

2025/Christmas Vacation!We had a fantastic vacation at this wonderful property on North Captiva! Our hosts were extremely helpful, showing us the island and giving recommendations. The property is beautifully appointed, with lovely holiday touches like a Christmas tree and decorations which we loved. We would not hesitate to recommend to others and in fact already have, we will be back!The Lightfoot Family
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
We loved our stay on North Captiva and loved Tarpon Cove. There is a beautiful beach right around the corner from the house where we saw manatees and dolphins and watched the sunrise. A four-ish minute golf cart ride will take you to the pool, which my kids loved, and Mango’s there has really good food. Sunset beach was wonderful for shelling and watching the sunset. We didn’t want to leave! The only thing we would do differently is to make sure we wear bug spray, especially in the afternoons and around dusk.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
This home was the best. We have been to North Captiva 3 times now. The home owners were so easy to deal with and the home had everything you could ask for, especially if you have children. The beds were really comfortable and the home was very clean and high end. The location was perfect. Will likely be renting this home again for our next trip to NC.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
We had a wonderful stay at Tarpon Cove. It was our first time visiting North Captiva, and we loved it. Lana and Andrey are wonderful hosts—highly attentive, excellent communicators, and genuinely kind and pleasant individuals. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable for our group of six. It served as a perfect retreat to relax both inside and out after spending the day at the beach or exploring the island and nearby attractions.We especially loved the new deck/patio area on the ground level, where we spent a lot of time as a family enjoying the beautiful weather. The kids played while we relaxed in the Adirondack chairs or the hammock. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We will definitely be returning to Tarpon Cove.
