Luxury island home with a private pool, game area, golf carts, club access.

We booked this as a client fishing trip and could not have asked for a better home base. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed — from a fully equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and an amazing outdoor space. After long days on the water, coming back to a private pool and shaded entertainment area with ping-pong and a grill was a dream. The location is perfect: just a few steps from the beach, with easy golf-cart access across the island, yet peaceful and private.The logistics were smooth, the check-in was seamless, and communication with the host was excellent! We especially loved how easy it was to get to great fishing spots, then unwind back at the house with a cold drink and good company. Bottom line: this place made our fishing trip more than just successful — it made it unforgettable. Highly recommend for fishing trips, family getaways, or just a quiet escape.

North Captiva, our families favorite place to get away. Another amazing stay on the island. First time staying at this property. Andrew was an amazing host and excellent communicator. Some travel delays and one minor problem with the golf cart battery and Andrew was extremely responsive and fixed our problem immediately. Nothing at all bad to say about this property, it was amazing. We will be back again for sure!

We stayed at Hakuna Matata over Spring Break for our first visit to North Captiva—and the house exceeded our expectations. The pool and outdoor entertainment area quickly became our favorite spots. It’s the mark of a great vacation when your biggest dilemma is deciding when to leave the pool for the beach. Having two golf carts made exploring the island easy and convenient. Andrew was a responsive and thoughtful host, promptly addressing any minor issues that came up. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed for the beach, pool, and meals. A perfect stay for our family of six.

Hakuna was the perfect house for us. Very comfortable, loved the screened in porch, kitchen had everything you could need. Beds are very comfortable & the decor is great & very welcoming. Our kids loved the pool & we all played ping pong & some pool. It’s steps away from the beach making it easy to get to the beach for the day or just going for sunset. We look forward to returning

Everything was as described and more. We enjoyed every aspect of the vacation from the house, outdoor living space, sand roads and golf cart rides to the beach. Definitely a vacation for the books.

Not really sure what else to say, it was exactly as advertised, clean, well stocked, great location. Everything you look for in a North Captiva rental. Also 2 golf carts in good shape was a plus. The property manager, Andrew, was great as well, just a quick text or phone call away. Already discussing a return.in the near future.

We had a great time at Hakuna Matata on North Captiva! The house was perfect for two families and had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool and the shelling was amazing! We would definitely go back! Thank you so much for sharing your great property with us!

We had the best stay at Hakuna for a girls’ weekend. Andrew was so easy to communicate with and so helpful both before and during our stay. The house was clean and set up with everything we needed for the weekend, from cookware and coolers to beach towels and two golf carts. We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to coming back in the future!

Everything was great and I don’t have any complaints. Andrew was helpful and the house feels brand new. The house comes with two golf carts which were immensely helpful! We’re already discussing coming back. If you’re new to North Captiva, it’s only accesible by boat. Be sure to plan out your arrival and departure to align with the ferry service. I recommend the ferry from the North Captiva Island Club, and recommend the luggage assistance service. You’ll also want to plan groceries or arrange for a grocery delivery service as there is only a pool bar/restaurant and one semi-fine dining restaurant on the island. There’s also only a very small market for anything you forgot, but it’s extremely overpriced. For example, a travel size bottle of bug spray is $10.50 and a bottle of wine that retails for $9 on the mainland was $35 there. As long as you go into it knowing you’re on an island, you’ll have a great time disconnected from the world!

Good set up for our group with younger kids. Loved the bunk beds. Place has everything needed to beach it , bbq, and entertain the family
