Captiva, Florida
North Captiva Island remains a relatively undiscovered paradise, offering the laidback lifestyle that Florida used to be known for. Just off the coast of easily accessible Fort Myers, this island is one of the most unique experiences in the United States. Here you can enjoy a tranquil escape abundant with opportunities to make lasting memories in the natural beauty of the tropics: relax on the white sand beaches and watch dolphins play in turquoise waves, paddleboard and kayak in the harbor next to gentle manatees, sip a beverage on your deck as the setting sun turns the sky to vivid shades of oranges and pinks, and gaze up at millions of stars in the pristine, inky blue night sky.
We make a true island adventure easy for you and your family by providing all the amenities and information you need for a great getaway.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Viva Captiva! Close to the beach, great accommodations, beautiful weather and great hosts!
North Captiva is a vibe on its own. The Viva Captiva property was a great place to call home base for the week. The house is situated perfectly, clean and set up pretty well. The house is a short walk to the beach and includes all the amenities you would expect for a beach house on a remote island. The kitchen was stocked w all Major appliances and standard kitchen stuff. the house also includes a washer & dryer allowing you to pack light for the trip to the island. The tree tops room was our favorite and the view from the porch was phenomenal. The house also comes equipped with all beach accessories and a handy cart & wagon to get all the stuff down to the beach. There are also two kayaks, and two paddle boards. And the kayaks hook right up to the golf cart for easy transfer to the marina drop point. We used all of the things during our trip. The owners are very responsive, and took great care to ensure that our arrival and departure to the island was seamless and no hassle. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle, and still have access to the basic necessities and accessories for island life. Really enjoyed our stay! Thanks for the memories - Viva Captiva.
Another lovely stay on North Captiva. We loved the house which was perfect for 4 adults, in particular the outside decks and great spaces to chill out. Very close to the beach with lots of beach equipment including kayaks which we made good use of. Kim and Ned were both very helpful and welcoming both before hand and when we arrived. Although the island isn’t quite back to normal yet after the hurricane it is getting there and despite all the reconstruction we had a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. Definitely somewhere to return to and recommend.
Both Ned and Kim were awesome to work with throughout the entire process, the place is exactly as the add says it is! Very clean, perfect for island life and just relaxing! My Wife, Daughter and her son (3yrs. old) had one of the best vacations we have ever had.......Would highly recommend and we will be returning next year for sure!!!! Thanks again Ned and Kim!!!!
The property is well situated a short walk from the communal pool for the Safety Harbor club, and the beach to the west of the island. It is very well appointed, the layout is great and is well maintained and is clean. The property owners are great people and very helpful. We had a great time on North Captiva and would not hesitate to book this property again.
My wife and I went here for our honeymoon. To start off with the owners were fantastic to work with, very communicative and great touches in the house to start us off right. The house is amazing, super airy and open. You feel like you are in a nice inside space and it merges with the outdoors nicely so you also feel outside. The loft bedroom at the top with windows all around and patio to view the ocean was our favorite spot to be. It was such a great spot to wake up in the morning. The house has everything one needs, from a well equipped kitchen to all the beach amenities that you would want. Beach access is great, with just a couple mins to walk to, or drive in the golf cart to other areas. The location itself is so relaxing since there are no cars on the island and less people, it makes for the perfect place to get away and truly relax. We would love to go back there again someday!
