Beach's Edge, On the beach

This beautiful home is right on the Florida sugar sand beach, which is often uninhabited except by wading birds, ghost crabs, osprey and snook. This property features direct beach access so you can walk right onto the beach and into the Gulf of Mexico. North Captiva Island features some of the most secluded beaches in the continental United States. Many times of the year, your family may be the only ones on the beach.

North Captiva Island is only accessible by water taxi and there are no cars on the island. Transportation on the island is by golf cart which is provided with your rental, walking or bicycle. There are no paved roads, only sandy paths winding through tropical vegetation. It is truly a unique setting. Palm trees, gumbo limbo trees and beautiful flowers are everywhere.

Our favorite activities are fishing, shelling, swimming and exploring the beach and state land. There are a large number of wading birds, gopher tortoises, raccoons, brown pelicans, osprey, egrets, cormorants, bald eagles, ibis and sanderlings. There are two very nice swimming pools and hot tub maintained by our island club a short walk or golf cart drive from our house. Kayaks and bicycles are also available at no charge through the island club. Tarpon, sea trout, red fish, snook, and snapper may be caught from the shore. Shelling is a daily activity on the island. North Captiva is often described as the shelling capital of North America.

Our house, Beach's Edge, is beautifully appointed and newly updated. The kitchen includes new stainless steel appliances and gulf views. The living room includes new leather couches and flat screen TV. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor: a master bedroom with a gulf view and a guest bedroom with two bunk-beds. There is one full bath on the main floor.

Because the house is on the west shore of North Captiva we are often witness to stunning sunsets which can be observed from your bedroom or the back deck. Don't forget your camera to help capture some memories. If you are lucky you may see Dolphin playing in the surf, Tarpon showing past the first breakers and the legendary stoop of the brown pelican fishing. This has got to be one of the prettiest and most unusual places you will ever see.

Overall the property presents a stunning setting and access to the beach. We had some issues that we promptly answered or taken care of by the property management company. The only compliant is the bed mattresses were extra firm and a little hard to sleep on depending on what you are used to. Definitely would rent this property again. Duncan with the property management company was great as well.

Best spot on the island!

This was our second time staying at Beach’s Edge and it continues to be our favorite vacation spot. Easily the best views in the island right from your deck! The house is perfect and the addition of the hot tub on the upper deck made our stay even more fun. Kids loved playing on the beach, collecting shells and taking in amazing sunsets. We saw dolphins, osprey, manatee, tortoises etc! This house has plenty of room and had been nicely updated since we last stayed. Downstairs area was a great spot for the grandparents to join us and have their own space! Property managers made the stay easy from checking in to heading out. You can find bigger homes on North Cap but none that are worth the location you give up. You won’t regret choosing Beach s Edge!

Stranded

The location of the home is amazing. The 3rd bedroom is separate from the rest of the house. House manager Duncan is awful. He never gave us his contact info. Hot tub cover kept blowing off so could not use kitchen sink clogged. Bath tub clogged. Cart kept breaking down. It is the only way to get around the island. We could not go to club to swim or go to restaurants. When we asked for another cart they would send repair person. All fixed!! Wrong broken down again. This went on for two weeks Do Not Rent!!!

Spectacular location

This house was better than I could have imagined. This was our first visit to North Captiva and I could not have picked a better location to stay. The views are priceless. We loved everything about the island and the house and will be back for certain. The property owner and management co was easy to work with and provided us with everything we needed and then some. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful week of memories and fabulous shelling!

Too many cooks

Maybe some kind of checklist to know where to go and what to do. Seems like the miscommunication between the owner and the property manager and all involved was liking..the house was supposed to be finished. The contractor was supposed to be out of there. And it just didn't happen.

Stunning!

Stunning sunset views from the deck! It just might be the perfect beach house, the water is closer than it appears in the pictures. The house has been beautifully updated since the pics in the listing. North Captiva is the perfect plus to unplug and relax. Added bonus that the beds and linens were very comfortable.

Incredible stay!

Our family had a perfect weeklong stay at Beaches Edge. It was our first time to the island and we were a little nervous at first about the remoteness of it all, but that turned out to be the best part—we were forced to disconnect and relax. We loved the beach view/access and made sure to catch the sunset every night, often from the deck. One night, a bunch of dolphins played right out front of the house just before sunset! Our kids (ages 3 & 7) spent hours playing in the sand and finding seashells. Access to the island club was a nice perk, especially on a windy day when the ocean was a little rough. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed getting lunch at Mangoes. Grocery delivery (and the midweek fresh fish delivery) made everything very easy. All in all, it was just what our busy family needed and we can’t wait to return!

Amazing Sunsets

Overall the property had most everything just a few things that were inconvenient like no wash cloths or throw rugs to catch some of the dirt and sand. I'm a clean nut so I spent a lot of time sweeping the floor with a terrible broom. The landscape needs attention looks messy from the hurricane. Little things but could mean big things in the long run.

Island Home

Awesome location right on beach, never crowded, a short walk from the wild preserve beaches, and a four mile walk along the gulf shore to the bottom of the island. We explored the whole island, kayaks were also great for exploring the canals and seeing manitee. The house is perfect, dinette sets and chairs on upper and lower decks, along with a great swing on the lower deck; perfect view of the beach and the sunset each night. The island club pools and hot tub are also nice! Shally’s managemanet team are awesome, hospitable, and excellent communicators. Thanks so much also for the perfect grocery shopping and delivery!

Location is the best thing

We had a great stay on North Captiva at Beaches Edge. The location is great. One of the closest homes to the beach and sunsets are a nightly event. We had a family if 5 and it was the right size home for us. Only 1 bathroom, but we all cooperated. It is an older home and others reviews are accurate on both the positives and negatives. We stayed in June of 2022 and the two things that I would suggest to future renters as the house sits today are this: 1. The water is on a well and they do have a filter, but there still is a taste to it. If you don't like well water, then just bring in extra water of your own or plan to buy some at Mangos. 2. In the summertime, the sun shines brightly against the house in the afternoons. Even with the blinds closed, the house will get warm. Usually 80 degrees or so before cooling off late in the evening. I noticed many previous reviewers said the same. Regardless, it was a minor inconvenience for us. Overall we had a great time and if you love the beach and the location then beaches edge might be for you too.

Nice view but that’s it.

The location of this place was beautiful. Stunning sunsets out your windows. The place though, for what we paid, I was expecting better quality. It was very worn…floors were very ruff, well used for sure. Chairs broken, bathroom shelfs barley hanging on the wall, cracked counter top. But mostly it was not clean. We arrived a day late because of travel and when we arrived the cleaning ladies are still cleaning. Floors still wet. The manager did his best to delay us when arriving. First he arrived 30 min late to pick us up. We had to sit and wait after we got off the boat with our groceries from a long day of travel. The house had sand on the floor, hair in the dirty tub, the pillows in the couch were filthy, peanut butter on the chairs. Even the pictures on the wall were all crooked. The huge sliding glass doors had so many finger prints. It was obvious that they did not clean well, not just being picky. I had to take time to clean but there is nothing to clean with. I had to use hot soapy water and threw everything in the washer, pillows and shower curtain, which had mold and hair on. The golf cart worked fine for us, just very worn and Rattled because it’s very rusty. My son stayed down stairs and it was very musty, think mold issue, not sure. The beds were extremely hard in the master. My husband had to sleep on the couch, pillows were flat. Overall, we were super disappointed with this place for the price we paid. The view is amazing, but that’s it. When your on vacation, you should have a clean place with a comfortable bed. Period.
