Our family has visited North Captiva four times and this is by far our favorite home of all! It’s a gorgeous retreat and so beautifully decorated. The property managers were very helpful and knowledgeable. The home is spacious with plenty of natural light. The views were spectacular from all levels. Everyone’s favorite spot was the loft area overlooking the beach where we could spot dolphins in the mornings and around sunset. It’s the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. The upper deck was perfect for stargazing. The house is very well equipped with everything from kitchenware to beach gear. There is a bar area by the pool with a TV and an outdoor shower to keep the sand outside. The home includes two really great golf carts which were so much fun! We can’t wait to go back! ##### David R.

Spacious, peaceful and perfectly stocked. Our family of nine stayed in this incredible Captiva Island home, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The layout is so well thought out that we could spread out when we needed a little quiet time without ever feeling disconnected or anti-social. It truly strikes that rare balance of togetherness and space.The home is beautifully maintained, filled with natural light, and the views from the deck are breathtaking. Whether we were playing in the pool, relaxing on the balcony, or gathering around the table, every space felt inviting and easy to enjoy.Best of all? The house was FULLY stocked with everything we could possibly need kitchenware, beach gear, games, towels, you name it. It made settling in effortless.This home gave us the space to make memories, relax deeply, and just be together. We left feeling recharged and already dreaming of coming back.

The house was stocked just as if you were at your own home, we were impressed. Will definitely be staying here again next year. You can also tell the owner cares allot of their home , beautifully maintained and decorated. ##### Angie H.

This was our first experience on North Captiva and it couldn't have been more memorable. The property is situated in an ideal part of the island: a few paces from the beach and only a few minutes from the island's center. Our family of 8 was able to comfortably enjoy ourselves and the conveniences Serendipity offered. Duncan & Laurie are a stellar team and were very responsive to all of our questions and requests. We will certainly be back! ##### Nathaniel P.

House was roomy, clean, beds were very comfortable. Super close to the beach and enjoyed the private pool. We had an amzing time disconnecting from our normally busy lives. Just an FYI, the few establishments on the island close early. If you're looking for night life, this is not the place. Our college aged kiddos had to adjust to this but it gave us fun game nights by the pool, watching sunsets, and reconnecting with our family. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan E., Indiana 10 Apr 2018 #### Beautiful home on amazing North Captiva Island North Captiva Island is an awesome vacation destination an Serendipity is the perfect house for your stay. My husband and I shared the house with two other couples. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed and anytime we did need something Duncan was right there to help. Serendipity is just a few steps from the beach and has great views from many levels. The heated pool and surrounding area are great with a bar and flat screen T.V. right there. We were able to watch football playoffs poolside! We also loved cruising around the island on golf carts and Serendipity has two. We enjoyed eating at the cute restaurants on the island and everyone is friendly and helpful. We had a great time and will definately be going back! S. Elliott, R. Smaldone, & J.

The mattresses are as comfortable as a Trump Hotel, which led to some very restful nights. The views from this home are the most beautiful I've seen. Being right next to the ocean, I could view both the sunrise and sunset as well as hear the tide rolling in and see dolphins swim by. The house was loaded with everything needed to prepare meals as well as a wine fridge. I enjoyed the design of the home which while allowing for hosting many people it provided private areas to retreat to. There were private decks off of two bedrooms, as well as one off the kitchen, one off the living room, another off of the loft and my favorite one on the roof. It does get a bit buggy there so it was nice to take cover in the many screened in areas, including the pool. It was also very easy exploring the island using the two provided golf carts. I would recommend this beautiful home for anyone wanting to enjoy the finer things and relax. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel H. 5 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Relaxing Getaway We spent NYE at Serendipity and it was wonderful. North Captiva Island is one of the rare getaways in the domestic 48 states where you feel like like you're in another world. Each home is seriously with vegetation and the golf carts give it a paid back feel. Amazing shelling, nature preserve, long walks on the beach, and wildlife (lots of dolphins, manatees and birds). Access to the North Captiva Island Club gives you free bikes, kayaks, tennis rackets and access to courts and the pools. The house itself was great. Clean and spacious. Duncan and the management team are highly communicative and addressed the minor maintenance issues we encountered. From picking us up at the dock, to checking on us, to check out, all was smooth. The house is well stocked in the kitchen with Keurig, crock pot, blender, and everything you need for the week. The pool includes floats, some toys, beach chairs and umbrellas, etc. Everything you need. Perfect weather and trip away from the snow. Thank you! ##### Joel H. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff F., Glastonbury, CT 17 Apr 2018 #### Fantastic House! We loved our stay at Serendipity. The house is well equipped. We had everything we needed to cook meals for our crew. We could not get enough of the 4th story roof deck and the sunsets. Awesome! The house was clean, well kept, and nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the pool with the newly installed bar and TV. Having the extra fridge at the pool allowed us to store most of the beer, soda and waters in that area and left more room for food in the kitchen. The property managers were great - very helpful accommodating and friendly. Our only challenge was the fridge in the kitchen seem to have suffered from some rough handling prior to our stay - some of the door shelves were broken, which made food storage a little more challenging. That's an easy fix though - just need to order a few new parts. The wine fridge was also helpful and nice to have. Overall, we loved it, and may come back again. Jeff Ferony ##### Jeff F.
