By The Sea 3 Bedroom / 2 Bath House

Located very near the beach in Captiva’s Village, breezy porches offer a serene place to relax with a book or dine al fresco. Custom design elements and architectural enhancements add interesting detail to every room.

Spend your days on the beach, then walk to the Mucky Duck for live music, a sunset drink, or dinner in Captiva. Rent a boat at the Marina or arrange a guided fishing expedition. Sanibel is just a short drive away, with its shops, restaurants, bike paths, and amazing shelling. Enjoy the Ding Darling Wildlife Preserve, where you can sea kayak through mangrove islands and view rare birds and other wildlife. Much of Sanibel/Captiva is a wildlife preserve; this paradise is yours to explore.

By The Sea is the perfect vacation home for active families, reunions of friends, or a quiet getaway. Especially suited to guests who will appreciate the unique décor and attention to detail. Visitors will enjoy the relaxed pace, and low-key style of Captiva. The soft sands and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico are less than 1 block away. Walk to McCarthy’s or Jensen Marina, where you can arrange cruises in the Gulf of Mexico, wildlife viewing, dolphin watching trips, and deep-sea fishing. Beautiful sunsets are only steps from your door – the highlight of each great day and the beginning of a peaceful Captiva evening.

Exceeded Expectations

Beautiful property in a perfect location. Seconds from the beach. Private pool in the backyard was great. Comfortable accommodations. Location is a short walk to the village of Captiva. We enjoyed area restaurants, bike ride in the nature preserve, parasailing, and soaking up the sun at the beach and pool. Also rented a golf cart which added to the whole experience. Highly recommend this wonderful property.

A wonderful two weeks.

My wife, son and his girlfriend stayed here for two weeks. It's a great location - close to the beach and close to the restaurants and shops in town - easy walking distance to both. And yet the neighborhood itself is very quiet. The house was adequately equipped with cleaning supplies when we arrived and clean. And the interior decorating is very cool. The house is ideal for a family with two small kids. If you had more kids or guests it might be a little tight as the other people would have to sleep on the pull out couch which is not ideal. Overall it is a great place. I would definitely stay here again next time we go.

Beautiful house close to beach

I recently stayed at this property with my husband and two small children and the house was perfect. It is really a beautiful and fun place to stay in a great location only a very short walk from the beach and restaurants/shops. The house was private and the closest beach never crowded.
