Welcome to North Captiva Island, a private, bridge-less island accessible only by boat. North Captiva was separated from Captiva Island by a hurricane in 1921 which created Red Fish Pass. The lack of a bridge made development of North Captiva difficult and has resulted in an Island Paradise, with a feel similar to Florida in the 1940's. North Captiva is noted for uncrowded, un-restored beaches with excellent shelling. The south two-thirds of the Island is a state wildlife area, while the north one-third is lightly developed with homes. Island Time is observed once you step off the boat onto the island!

Please do not miss Gulf Dreams' drone video. You can access it in our pictures.

IMAGINE... a beach vacation at a house that’s like your very own luxury beach resort called Gulf Dreams on-the-beach. The deed to this beach house states that the property’s west boundary is the Gulf of Mexico. The house has 75 feet of private, white sand Gulf beach for your pleasure, easily accessed by the only private, elevated walkway on the island.

IMAGINE... keeping your own or rented boat at Gulf Dreams on-the-beach’s private 85-foot dock (lot is fenced with private, locked entrance, 28 ft boat or smaller only) on a private canal located 1,000-feet east of Gulf Dream's beach house. This dock can also be used for fishing.

You will be greeted upon your arrival on North Captiva by Gulf Dream's manager. Our manager will transport you and your luggage and groceries to Gulf Dreams (unless you requested the kitchen be pre-stocked), will familiarize you with Gulf Dreams amenities, as well as the island, and will be a phone call away during your stay to meet your needs.

IMAGINE... a secluded beach house four stories tall accessed by a long, landscaped driveway providing privacy from golf cart traffic and neighboring houses.

IMAGINE.. a bright and airy 4-story beach house with vaulted ceiling heights of 10 to 14 feet throughout, 2 large screened-in lanais with expansive views of the pool and Gulf of Mexico (one where you can eat all your meals outdoors, the other where you can play ping-pong and board games).

IMAGINE... a large, 4th-floor master suite, with spectacular 360-degree views of the Gulf and bay sides of the island, a gourmet, fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and high-end appliances, travertine and granite bathrooms.

IMAGINE... having privately-owned heated swimming pool and pool-side gazebo located on a beach dune, surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation.

IMAGINE... the only private, raised walkway that provides access to Gulf Dream's private beach while assuring complete privacy for the pool and Gulf Dreams.

IMAGINE... your own 12 beach chairs and 3 umbrellas, 4 kayaks (4 single) and 2 SUP paddle boards make going to the island (an exposed sandbar) 1/3 mile offshore a great family shelling adventure. Two golf carts are provided. Volleyball equipment provided for entertainment on Gulf Dream's beach.

    We had a great time on the island!! What a cool experience! The staff that met us at the dock and took our luggage was great and gave us a tour of the island. Beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked. The only negative I can say is that the pool could've used a cleaning. We weren't able to get in because the weather didn't cooperate. Wendell graciously offered to have us come back another time. I would highly recommend this property!!!

    The location was great and we loved the island. The house is nice but needs some cleanup and updates. Lights are hanging by wires on the walk ways. The downstairs cabana that is represented as a bedroom with ice maker for use outside is not fully functional. The ice maker is pulled out in the floor and does not work. There is a dehumidifier running in the room. Basically, it was wasted space. When we arrived on Saturday the pool was nasty. We were told it was scheduled for cleaning on Tuesday. Not OK. The property manager did have someone clean it early the next morning. It would be a good practice to clean between rentals instead of mid-week. We would definitely return to North Captiva, just maybe not this house.

    If you’re looking for a tropical island paradise, this is it! The house, island, and host were amazing! We felt well taken care of the entire time we were there. It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with almost everything you’ll need for cooking, relaxing, and enjoying the beach, pool, and the island in general. We cooked large meals every night and never felt like we were hurting for anything. The beach is super private…we only saw a handful of other people during the entire week we were there, which is refreshing after visiting other beaches in the area. We will be back!!!

    We had a great time in the home. The kitchen offered everything we needed to cook for the week, there was plenty of space to relax, the pool was stocked with floaties and toys for kids, and we had everything we needed for a day at the pool. The island had great ice cream and we really enjoyed the home.

    The home, pool, and beach were absolutely gorgeous perfect. The home was well equipped, comfy beds, fantastic pool (grandkids spent hours everyday), beautiful grounds and home, and wonderful sandy beach - which was also great for shelling! We will certainly do this again!

    This was our first time to the Island! It is absolutely beautiful. We did notice some clean up from hurricanes still in progress but that did not impact our stay at all. This island is a well kept secret and a great vacation spot for all ages.

    The house and property exceeded expectations. Kitchen was well stocked and has everything you would need for preparing meals for a week. The pool was clean and warm which the kids used every day. The golf carts provided are like new and great for getting around the island. We used the grocery order service mid week and had everything the next day, very convenient. I would highly recommend staying at this location, you wont be disappointed.
