Captiva, Florida
Indulge in coastal paradise at our remarkable beachfront retreat. This exceptional 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom home is perfectly positioned to offer unobstructed, awe-inspiring sea views and unparalleled privacy. With private access to the Gulf just steps away, it's an unrivaled location for your island getaway. As you ascend the levels of this home, the views become even more astonishing, and the interior is appointed to the highest standards.
The grand open-concept living and kitchen areas boast soaring cathedral ceilings, creating an instant 'wow' factor. Features like the stunning stone fireplace, custom wrought-iron spiral staircase, and the beautifully lit round alcove in the high ceilings make the great room truly spectacular.
Our custom-designed kitchen is a chef's dream, with gleaming wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a professional gas cooktop, and a convenient dining bar. Enjoy sumptuous dining in the formal dining room with Gulf views and a built-in custom bar, all while being surrounded by the stunning scenery. The master suite is equally impressive, offering sweeping Gulf views, a built-in study/office area, a lavish en-suite bath with a walk-in shower and dual vanity spaces, and a spacious master closet with custom shelves and cabinets. The first level also features a cozy guest suite with an en-suite bath tucked away in the northeast part of the house.
Step outside to discover the covered screen room and a fabulous porch, complete with a built-in spa, circular seating area, outdoor dining, and grilling spaces, all enhanced by fully automatic retractable awnings.
Climb the magnificent spiral staircase to reach a second oasis, featuring two more guest rooms. One room boasts a bedroom with dramatic Gulf and beach views, while the other currently serves as an office and den with a convenient wet bar – the perfect spot to work or relish the Gulf's sunsets and glistening waters. A covered breezeway between the two top-story rooms doubles as an open covered porch with unmatched views. Ascend one more flight to a third-story rooftop deck, providing ample space for relaxation, sunbathing, or simply taking in the sunset.

Family had an excellent time at this location. So close to the beach, yet secluded at the same time. Couldn't have asked for a better summer vacation. The owner and property manager made sure we had everything we needed. Island is as beautiful as ever. Some other homes had a lot more repairs left from the hurricane in 2022 (Ian), while this rental was up and running perfectly. Thank you Joe, for allowing us to enjoy this wonderful vacation spot.
We hadn't been to North Captiva before this trip so were a little apprehensive about the new spot since Covid. I'll tell you what. Not only was the place/view/accomodations amazing, the Island was beautiful. We will 1000% be back. The management was over the top attentive. I wouldn't stay anywhere else but this place.
The house was just as pictured and as described in the comments. The kitchen was terrific--had everything. The beds were all comfortable and the open floor plan was perfect for our family with adult children. The beach was beautiful. The views from the house were amazing. The hot tub right on the deck was surprising and a big bonus. No bugs as the breeze keeps them away. We rented a boat from Four Winds Marina and docked it at Safety Harbor. Gated and secure. The pool and tennis courts were in tact and we used the facilities every day we were there. The golf cart that came with the house was a six seater--perfect that we did not have to rent a second one to accommodate us. The owner and property manager were both in touch and helpful--much appreciated! We highly recommend this house.
Could not have picked a better spot to have a quiet, restful, and relaxing anniversary. The home is beautiful, the process upon arrival and exit or seamless, and the house was superb. Would stay here again with a moments notice. The house is clean, well-equipped, and the views are unbelievable. our favorite place was the breezeway between the second story, bedroom and office/bar area. The views were gorgeous the weather was awesome and the house was first class….. I would not hesitate to book this place again. We used all of the outdoor living spaces and most of the indoor living!

We were hesitant to book after Ian and the rebuilding process. Some parts of the island still look like a bomb went off. We were glad we booked anyways. Amazing property, minor things need touch up as expected after a hurricane. Hot tub, awnings, everything was flawless. Snook fishing was really good too on the beach in front of house. Joe and team were very engaging and on top of everything and answered all our questions promptly.
This was our 4th visit to the island and this was by far our favorite property. The location is great, the owner communicated well, and the property was well maintained and equipped. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this property to anyone considering visiting this gem of an island.
Owner very engaged and helpful throughout the stay! Natural wildlife abundant- dolphins, sea turtles, box turtles, variety of sea birds and tons of shells for kids! House exactly like the pictures. We will be back soon!
Great communication from Joe and Yvena. Perfect location and house amenities!
We loved it. From the very first contact with the Dervil team, we were in good hands: responsive, gracious and informative, willing to answer a myriad of questions asked by two people who had never been to North Captiva. They continued to help us throughout our stay -- we even got a call from the owner checking on us. It was like having a private concierge service. We cannot say enough. Their enthusiasm for the property was evident, and as soon as you pull into the driveway, it is clear why. Rounding the turn in your golf cart, you are transported, your tropical vacation has begun. Echoing previous reviews, the kitchen is well stocked (waffle iron!), the views are excellent, from so many spots in the house. Truly steps to the beach...and the pictures don't do it justice. We enjoyed Stella Maris so much we ate all our meals there. We could not tear ourselves from the view: days began with sunrise on the roof, went till sunset over the Gulf, and ended watching satellites pass overhead from the hot tub. A note about the island itself: do not let the need to pre-order and pack in all your food deter you. A tiny bit of planning (and Dervil will help) is all it takes to make your stay perfect. The proximity and diversity of wildlife more than compensate for the sparsely stocked convenience stores. This is closer to a Caribbean villa rental than a Florida beach vacation. We were happy to trade Walmart convenience for the luxury of quiet, uncrowded beaches, beautiful water, and having nature close to hand.
Lovely in every way.
