Property Information |

Captiva Island is truly subtropical, and enjoys fine weather all year. The peaceful barrier island includes a wildlife sanctuary and miles of white sand beaches. Captiva Island is unlike any other tropical island. It has no hotels, and that's definitely part of the charm.
Captiva Island rests in quiet privacy at the end of the road, north of Sanibel Island in the Gulf of Mexico. It has become the preferred vacation destination (as well as permanent residence) for discerning Floridians and other well-informed travelers. For Captiva Island offers what few other Florida beaches can: luxurious accommodations in the midst of unspoiled, natural beauty. This is also a favorite spot for Family Reunions, and it's the #1 rated "Romantic Beaches in the U.S. and Nearby" by Amy Ziff, Travelocity's Editor-at-Large.

The beautiful island known as Captiva sits in the Gulf of Mexico, in warm, sunny southwest Florida. This area is truly subtropical, kept warm by the clean waters of the Gulf of Mexico. But no ferry is needed: you can drive there from the Florida mainland. And there are plenty of convenient flights into the international airport at Fort Myers: Regional Southwest (RSW). Or, you can arrive by boat from the Intracoastal Waterway (please call to make arrangements).
Captiva is a slender barrier island stretching six miles from the southern connection to Sanibel to the northern tip of South Seas Plantation. The sandy lanes run east and west one block of the paved main road, under canopies of royal palm, giant schefflera and Australian pine.
To find Captiva on a Florida map:
Look for Fort Myers on the southwest coast.
Then follow the peninsula west to Sanibel Island.
Captiva connects to the north end of Sanibel.
