Luxury Tropical Vacation Home

Captiva's Island Girl is an immaculate four bedroom vacation home for rent nearly on the beach, surrounded by tropical flowers and foliage. A private, heated pool with a whirlpool jacuzzi hot tub is yours to enjoy in between the delightful hours spent on the beach.

At the end of another fine day in paradise, step out on the beach with family and friends to admire the daily sunset - an incredibly beautiful event here on Captiva! Then let the sound of the gentle surf soothe your dreams on cool tropical evenings.

Here at the end of Captiva's beautiful, private and quiet Laika Lane (no public access), only a few neighbors will stroll up the sandy lane to the beach. Whispering pines and majestic palms shade The Island Girl and the newly landscaped grounds. Nature seems at ease with mankind as osprey play overhead, herons supervise fishing on the beach, and troops of spoonbills wander through the yard into the vast undeveloped tract behind the house.

Island Girl's location in the Captiva Village area is a big plus: you can easily stroll the short distance to anything you need including world class restaurants, well stocked stores, unique shops and vacation activites.

World-Famous Beach

Sea Oats On The Beach

Captiva Island is widely regarded as having one of the best beaches in the world. Island Girl is so very special as a vacation beach home because it's so close to the beach (one house in from beachfront, about 100 feet). The convenience is especially nice if you like to pop in and out from the beach for drinks or snacks, maybe sunblock or your camera to photograph the dolphins at sunset. Beach activities include swimming in the warm water and gentle swells of the Gulf of Mexico, soaking up the south Florida sunshine, walking the sugar sands of the coastline, fishing, and watching the wildlife. Feel free to collect the beautiful shells on the beach - another reason Captiva Island is famous.
