Harbour View House: Where Two Islands Meet
~Experience the Best of Both Worlds~
Discover Santiva—the magical point where Sanibel and Captiva Islands converge—and enjoy access to two distinct Gulf Coast paradises from one exceptional waterfront home. To one side, explore Sanibel's legendary shelling beaches and abundant wildlife. To the other, embrace Captiva's pristine shores and unhurried island lifestyle.
Harbour View offers the ultimate waterfront escape, perched along serene Dinkins Bayou where spectacular sunrises and native wildlife create your daily backdrop. Whether you're boating from your private dock, kayaking tranquil waters, casting a line, or simply savoring peaceful bayou views, this is waterfront living at its absolute finest.

~Perfect for Water Enthusiasts~
Harbour View House is a boater's and angler's dream. Launch from your private dock to explore the bayou's calm waters, fish the flats, or venture out to the Gulf. Kayakers will delight in paddling through mangrove tunnels while spotting dolphins, manatees, herons, and roseate spoonbills.
Not into water sports? Simply relax with your morning coffee and watch the sun paint the bayou in brilliant oranges and pinks—a daily show that never gets old.

How do I keep mosquitoes and no-see-ums away during my beach vacation? The best defense is an insect repellent with Picaridin, paired with light, long-sleeve coverage when you're not in the water. Loose, breathable long sleeves and pants block bites well, but that's not always practical at the beach, pool, or swimming in the Gulf — so a good Picaridin-based repellent is your go-to.
Guest favorites include Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Aerosol Spray and Bug Guard Wipes/Lotion (available on Avon. com), and Sawyer Picaridin Lotion (available on Amazon). Picaridin is effective against both mosquitoes and no-see-ums, doesn't feel greasy like Deet, and won't damage swimsuits or patio furniture. Apply before heading outside in the early morning or evening, when both pests are most active.

Amazing view, perfect location.
We spent over a year at this home. It has amazing views and Is in close proximity to the beach and several restaurants. It is on the bayou and is easily navigable by boat, and the house has a dock with a boatlift.
