Island Oasis/Hidden Beach House-Private pool

The house as clean and had all of the amenities for a family. Pat was so helpful in answering all of our questions as we prepared for our stay on North Captiva.

We had another lovely visit to Hidden Beach Home—this was our third time staying here, and it continues to be a favorite spot on North Captiva. The host was excellent, with prompt and helpful communication both before and during our stay, which made everything smooth and easy.The home itself is well-equipped, though this time we noticed an abundance of kitchen items, pool floats, and other extras that felt a bit excessive. While it's great to have options, streamlining some of these could make the space feel more organized and guest-friendly.The new golf cart was a nice upgrade and ran beautifully. However, our group included several shorter adults who found it challenging to get in and out of the cart comfortably. We ended up improvising a step to make it easier for everyone. A built-in step or stool might be a helpful addition for future guests.Overall, we had a wonderful vacation—peaceful, relaxing, and full of great memories. We would absolutely stay here again and appreciate the care that goes into maintaining this home.

Really enjoyed the house! Loved the beachy decor. Outside area was great. Plenty of seating and nice pool. Good proximity to the beach. Pat was very easy to work with. Good communication. Would definitely stay here again!

We went on a cruise 2 years ago and this was the exact opposite of that.... no crowds, quiet, peaceful, laid-back vibe. Every picture I sent to my friends and family they asked are you guys literally the only ones on this island because that's what it looks like! The space in the home was perfect for our family of 5. The kids loved the pool and we loved the screened in porch! We saw many dolphins just off the shore at Sunset beach and manatees in the canal. My kids loved our night time rides on the back of the golf cart coming home from a gorgeous sunset. Could not have asked for better weather this week too! Pat had everything we needed and things we didn't even think about. Truly fully stocked...crockpot, ice cream maker, all sorts of spices in the cupboard, sunscreen in case you forgot, pool floaties, sand toys, games, and much more. Such a great experience! Thanks for opening up your home Pat!!

We loved our stay at Hidden Beach Cottage. The location was fantastic - the beach at the end of the lane is now much wider than pre hurricane Ian. The cottage itself was well laid out and had a well stocked kitchen. Lots of great outside space including nice pool area and screened in porch. Would highly recommend a stay here.

This was a perfect vacation! Very relaxing yet not at all boring. Lots of laughter and good memories. Pat’s place is beautiful and she is a dream to work with. I would highly recommend her and her property. Very easy to understand instructions on how to get to the island and obtain groceries. Everything worked perfectly.

My teenage daughters, my husband and I just returned from 7 glorious days on NCI and we can’t wait to return! The home was clean and well stocked. I would suggest more beach towels and some new pool floats as all of them were popped or broken. Also a new REAL cooler and not a handle-less styrofoam one, would have been very helpful as well! Other than that everything was perfect! Thanks Pat for your warm hospitality and beautiful home!

First of all, Pat was so wonderful with her communication as stated in other reviews. She responded to all my questions & was very helpful. We enjoyed the house so much! Has everything you would need for an excellent island experience. Only a few minor glitches that were handled right away. We loved using the bikes, kayaks, the outdoor pool & game area. It worked out perfectly for our group! The house was stocked nicely & Pat even had a nice welcome basket. We’re planning to return without a doubt.

North Captiva stole our hearts! This house was a great location and had a wonderful outside area next to the pool with games and a tiki bar that was very fun to hang at. The pool was great for us because we had a 9 month old who needed to be at the house to nap a few times a day. We also selected this house for proximity to the beach and the baby crib (pack and play) and high chair seat. The house itself inside didn’t have any frills but we chose it for the outside area and the screen porch which were both great! The host was very communicative and the island was very easy to navigate with the golf cart provided. My only complaint was that the beds squeaked, especially the queen one. Also, if you are coming to get good internet, don’t hold your breath. Apparently this house had better service than a lot on the island but that is the joy of being on vacation and unplugging.

Five family members had a delightful week on North Captiva. The home’s outdoor space is great, it is a close walk to the beach, and has everything you need. The owner was very responsive to our needs and questions. We enjoyed our stay at Hidden Beach Home very much!
