The Wheelhouzz - Waterfront 3BR, Safety Harbor Club Pool & Tennis, Golf Cart

Arrive by ferry, hop in your complimentary golf cart, and you're minutes from the Safety Harbor Club — heated pool, two tennis courts, and a clubhouse stocked with books, board games and puzzles. There's an ice maker for filling your coolers, which matters more than you'd expect on an island where everything comes over by boat.

The Wheelhouzz is a three-bedroom, two-bath waterfront cottage on the quiet north end of North Captiva, privately situated on a lagoon amongst beautiful mature foliage. The kitchen is built around high-end Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances — a serious kitchen for a place where you'll be cooking most nights. There's a private boat slip if you're bringing one, and a short walk takes you to miles of white sandy Gulf beach.

There is no shortage of spectacular views — every room gives way to the sights and sounds of the Captiva wildlife. From the spacious living room, a wall of glass opens to a large outdoor sundeck. Enjoy your coffee as the sun rises and you listen to the birds in the surrounding canopy. You'll have no fear of losing outdoor time due to weather: a fully enclosed, air conditioned sunroom awaits you for a cat nap at noon or a quiet spot to read. While you wait for your food to cook, enjoy a bottle of wine while taking in the wondrous lagoon view from another large deck off the kitchen. Beautiful bamboo and tile floors enhance the warmth of the property.

The upper level gives way to a spacious master bedroom and en suite bath. When you wake, watch the sunrise from a southern facing deck as birds take to the skies from the lagoon. The main floor welcomes additional guests or children with two additional bedrooms and a hall bath. A large party deck expands the lower level. As the evenings give way to cooler temperatures, enjoy a game or discussion in the seating area, and park your complimentary golf cart under the deck.

Interested in a day at the beach A short walk will grant you access to miles of the white sandy gulf beach. Here you'll find plenty of opportunity to build sand castles, search for shells or dip your toes in the cool blue waters.

The community of North Captiva is quiet and secluded — enjoy sandy lanes for walking, bicycling or jogging while you admire the breathtaking landscapes. A short cart ride away, the island's other club welcomes guests at its poolside bar, with a smaller pool for a cooling dip.

Additional amenities include boat dockage and garbage removal. All bookings include the use of one complimentary golf cart.
