Captiva, Florida
Do you like your dessert first Do you like the sweet taste of paradise Then our “Cupcake” is for you! This delightfully sweet 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath private home at 11461 Dickey Lane is situated on the quiet side of Captiva Village and close to everything. The Village is known for its restaurants, shops and easy beachy atmosphere. Our “Cupcake” is an easy walk down Laika Lane to the beautiful white sand beach and a half block walk to the bay.
You will enjoy the many delightful colors of “Cupcake”. Swim in your own large heated and caged pool or enjoy the relaxation of the hot tub. You can read a book on the large back deck overlooking the pool area or have breakfast watching the world go by on the front deck.
Inside “Cupcake” the cathedraled ceiling family room has comfortable furniture with a large screen TV, DVD Player, Wi-Fi and a Sonos speaker system. The house was professionally designed and completely updated in 2012 and lovingly maintained. The 3 bedrooms, painted in fun and whimsical colors, are spacious and each includes a flat screen TV. Bedroom 1 has a King bed, bedroom 2 has two twin beds (which can be converted to a King on request) and, located on the opposite side of the house, the private master suite has a new King bed and private en-suite. These bedrooms will have you sweetly dreaming of the memories you’ve made today and the memories you’ll make tomorrow. Check out the yummy and colorful countertops in each bathroom and the kitchen. You’ll smile every time you see them!
Speaking of the large airy kitchen, it is fully equipped and has a breakfast bar area and a separate dine in area. The full-size washer and dryer are near the Kitchen. A gas BBQ grill is waiting for your use in the fully screened lanai.
As in a real cupcake, it’s not all about the icing, the cake underneath the icing is also enjoyable. Our “Cupcake” is no exception. There is ample parking. The fully screened ground floor pool area is a great gathering space for conversation, playing cards, games or enjoying your favorite beverage as you watch the swimmers in the pool. And you will appreciate the large covered area for fun and games in case of inclement weather or to escape the Florida sun for an afternoon nap! With this “Cupcake” you can enjoy the whole thing….with no calories!
Once you arrive at “Cupcake” park your car and leave it until it is time to go back to reality. Remember, “Cupcake” is a short walk to the beach and the bay. Walk to famous Andy Rosse Lane with its restaurants and shops. “Cupcake” includes a selection of beach toys, coolers, chairs, beach umbrellas and beach towels. A beach cart is provided to make the short trek to the beach very easy. Also, you can rent bicycles, surfboards and other fun beach toys at Yolo. How about renting a boat for the day at Jensen’s Marina Cruise to North Captiva Island for lunch and dolphin and manatee watching. Keep in mind that it is only a short walk to everything that the Village offers.
Some visitors like to see the sun rise on the bay side…..we prefer to watch the sun set on the beach. Take a cooler, set up the beach chairs and take a lot of beautiful pictures as the sun sets over the gulf off the island of Captiva. Then pack up and take a stroll to the Mucky Duck, the Bubble Room or other delicious restaurants nearby, many of which have outdoor dining and live music.
In the morning you might like to take a short walk to Starbucks for your favorite coffee. Enjoy it there, or on the sunny front deck of “Cupcake”.
There is much to discover on Captiva Island. We wish you sweet dreams and mouth-watering memories as you experience the Village of Captiva and our fun and relaxing cottage called “Cupcake”. It would be a pleasure to have you as our guest!
We really enjoyed our stay at Cupcake. The house was very clean and comfortable in every way. Kitchen had everything we needed. Location was fantastic, easy walk to beach. Loved the pool each day! Thank you for your hospitality, would love to come back!
We just finished a week stay at Cupcake, and we had such a good time. The house is located a short walk from not only the beach, but two local grocery stores (perfect for last minute supplies), restaurants, coffee, shopping, etc.... As a matter of fact, we only needed to drive twice, and that was for more serious grocery runs. And aside from the fantastic location, the house is truly wonderful. We loved the layout of the home, how nicely appointed it is, and the owners have clearly thought through what kind of items need to be accessible for a beach vacation. We had everything we needed available to us. We have stayed at VRBO listed homes before, but this is only the second time we agreed on wanting to return to this specific property, as our time there was so special. Thank you very much.
This house is an absolute beach charmer. Cupcake provided our family of five with comfortable and whimsical accommodations. The location is ideal! A short and enjoyable walk to restaurants, shopping, and the beach. The pool and outdoor living area offered a large and relaxing space to unwind after long days of shell hunting. We are already looking forward to making plans to return and would be thrilled to have a second serving of Cupcake!
Tasteful, comfortable and clean home. Amazing location - it blends the convenience of being close to town/beach with plenty of privacy and quiet. The host is very responsive. We hope to stay at Cupcake during our next trip to Captiva.
Another wonderful stay at the cupcake house!
Our family had an outstanding stay at Cupcake. The home is decorated just like you would want a beach house. The Property Owner is amazing and very helpful. We were so happy we booked next year already!
We all enjoyed cupcake, the pool was a big hit with the little ones. Great location and I would recommend a golf cart though walking was pretty easy. Captiva farmers market a must. I believe it is in Tuesdays.
Very pleasant house
We enjoyed our time at the Cupcake house. Our children loved the pool, hot tub & short walk to the beach. Definitely a place we would like to stay again if we had the opportunity.
What a fantastic property!! It had everything we needed and more! We loved the pool and hot tub. The property was spotless! The location was perfect for the restaurants and shops in Captiva. Marsha was a pleasure to deal with and was very quick to reply to any questions and gave us lots of information on what was going on in Captiva whilst we were there. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cupcake to anyone and I will certainly be coming back to this wonderful home!
