ABOUT NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND
North Captiva is a private barrier island off Floridaâs Gulf Coast. No cars, no bridgesâjust uncrowded, natural white-sand beaches with incredible shelling and wildlife viewing. Two-thirds of the island is a state wildlife preserve, while one-third is lightly developed with vacation homes, giving visitors the best mix of seclusion and comfort.

Pre-stocking the kitchen (highly recommended) is also available. Youâll also receive a private island tour and full orientation of the house amenities.
ITâS ISLAND TIME AT BEAUTY AND THE BEACH!
Each day brings a new adventure:
Relax by the pool or beach
Take a bike or kayak ride
Go fishing, explore the nature preserve, or simply enjoy the Gulf breeze on the porch
Soon enough, shoes are forgotten, flip-flops become the uniform, and life slows to true island time.
This location is fabulous. The view is stunning regardless of the time of day. You can see the sun rise on the Sound and set on the Gulf. The house was clean and everything that was promised stated was provided. The property management company was very helpful and responded expeditiously to a couple small issues we needed addressed. Our grocery order was packed to perfection, and every item was delivered. The elevator was greatly appreciated. It made getting our bags in and out a breeze. I do suspect the pictures used to advertise this house are probably from shortly after completion in 2013 as the owners have not maintained this property. Itâs worn and in need of repairs. North Captiva is stunningly beautiful with clean beaches full of shells not people. The Island is quiet and peaceful. The lack of traffic and remote location is a great respite from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. It's really a special place with a plethora of wildlife both in and out of the water. Take bug spray and sunblock. It was a lovely week spent with family albeit the disappointing condition of house.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at Beauty And The Beach. There were some initial issues due to Hurricane Debby, but they were ironed out before our arrival. It's a great location with a short private walk to the beach and a nearby sand bar. Our granddaughters loved the pool. Communication with the Property Managers could have been a bit better.
Such a beautiful property for a weeklong get away with friends. Tons of space and a great view of the beach and beautiful blue water. Shallyâs Management was outstanding and took care of every need! Highly recommend this house!
Multigenerational vacation was amazing ! They have done amazing work to get the island back up and ready for vacationers after Hurricane Ian. We hope to come again!
