3BR Captiva Cottage with Hot Tub & Steps to the Beach

Experience Captiva's FUN in the SUN once more with our NEWLY decorated and refreshed rental, perfect for your family to enjoy!

Welcome to Life’s A Beach! This lovely beach cottage has an excellent location along quiet, sandy Wightman Lane, one of the most desirable lanes of the Captiva Village area. From here it’s a quick stroll to the warm Gulf of Mexico sands – beach lovers will find the proximity really convenient. And you’re only a very short walk from shopping, restaurants, activities, and the Island Store.

The grounds at Life’s A Beach are carefully landscaped into a beautiful tropical garden. This is a masterwork of natural art, from potted plants and flowering shrubs up to mature palms and massive trees. The garden is enhanced with pergola and trellis structures painted in bright colors. Dense hedges offer luxurious privacy and yet open to spacious outdoor areas where you can enjoy Captiva’s gorgeous weather (when you aren’t out on the beach!).

Entering from the parking area (ample space for two vehicles), pass through a dense hedge and under a trellis archway into the front yard where a large sundeck is furnished with gaily painted chairs. Next to the deck is an inviting, open area with a picnic table. The backyard has a deck wrapping around the house. An outdoor dining table with a shade umbrella is just off the kitchen, for convenient outdoor dining.


All reservations/cancellations are subject to the terms and conditions (policies) of the American Realty Rental Agreement once the reservation is booked thru 3rd party platforms.

Location, location, location!

We had a wonderful stay at Life’s A Beach. The number one benefit was where the cottage is located. It’s steps from town and about a one minute walk to beach, which is right at the end of the road. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to be right where the action is in beautiful Captiva! Monsie Hobbs

Life’s a Beach!

Sunsets were amazing! Location was phenomenal! Hot tub was awesome! Front patio was great! Beach chairs and wagon were excellent! A few helpful needs: one board on picnic table needs fixin.’ More hooks in bedrooms and at hot tub would be helpful. A small, select set of spices would enhance the experience.
