BEAUTY AND THE BEACH – 5 Bedrooms with 3 Master Suites | Sleeps 17 in beds
BEAUTY AND THE BEACH is a luxurious 5-bedroom beachfront mansion located directly on the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico on North Captiva Island. This private, car-free island is only accessible by boat or private aircraft, which makes every visit feel like a true escape. Nestled among palm trees, beach dunes, and pristine white sandbars loaded with beautiful shells, Beauty and the Beach’s tropical location is second to none. With sleeping for up to 17 people and three king master bedroom suites, Beauty and the Beach can host your next family vacation, reunion, or even wedding (fees apply). This beachfront mansion is reminiscent of a luxury beach resort in the Caribbean—without the need for a passport.
ABOUT NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND
North Captiva is a private barrier island off Florida’s Gulf Coast. No cars, no bridges—just 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.
FIRST-CLASS ACCOMMODATIONS
This coastal-modern, spacious 3-story beach house features:
A large screened-in lanai with expansive views of the pool and Gulf of Mexico
A 3rd-floor master suite with spectacular 360-degree island views (Gulf + Bay)
A gourmet kitchen with granite counters, Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances
Luxury granite bathrooms and thoughtfully designed living spaces
Elevator access to all levels for added convenience and accessibility
RESORT-LIKE AMENITIES
Private heated swimming pool with outdoor kitchen, grilling area, and poolside games
Ping pong and plenty of space to relax
A private boat slip for guests arriving by their own boat or rental boat
YOUR ISLAND ADVENTURE
Because North Captiva is boat-access only, your property manager and personal concierge, Shally’s Seashells Property Management, will guide you through the logistics of island travel. Shally’s will assist in selecting ferry or private charter options, greet you at the dock upon arrival, and transport you and your luggage/groceries to the home. Pre-stocking the kitchen (highly recommended) is also available. You’ll also receive a private island tour and full orientation of the house amenities.
IT’S 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.

Beauty And The Beach Review
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.
