Resilient & Revitalized! Vacation home on stilts on Captiva Island.

Captiva Island has weathered the storms and is back to its beautiful self! The first photos were taken on February 2, 2025 and reflect the restoration of our community (Sunset Captiva). Restaurants are open, the beaches are pristine, fishing is great and the wildlife is amazing.

Our home is built on stilts and has a backyard full of citrus trees and orchids. Located at located 40 Oster Court, the house a beautiful two-bedroom home with a separate den/office with a bunk bed. It is The house is furnished and equipped as a second home--not a 'rental unit.' All three of the bathrooms are new. Our family loves to cook --the kitchen is a cook's kitchen. We are located on the quiet part of a private community, Sunset Captiva, just a few minutes walk from the pool and beach. We have a small citrus grove behind the house (grapefruit, orange, meyer lemon and key lime trees) and an extensive orchid collection. Several good restaurants are within a two minute walk. The community pool is only a three minute walk away. The beach is just a minute further. There is great boating and fishing. The beach is extraordinary and extends for miles. This is a great vacation home for young families. We have two pak-n-plays, a high chair and baby monitor. We are at the end of a cul de sac- away from the noise on Andy Rosse lane -and the setting is quiet and private. Please take a look at our visitors' comments which convey the experience.

Can't wait to go back!

This was our second stay in Sunset Captiva. It definitely won't be our last. Everything about the house and its location is perfect for us. With the home office, we were able to save time by checking in and printing our boarding passes before leaving for the airport. The kitchen has everything you need if you're into cooking your meals. The bed in the master bedroom is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in away from home. And the short walk to the beach makes for great shelling, sunning, and taking in those incredible sunsets. We're already looking at next year's dates.

Wonderful Captiva beach house

Our family had a wonderful week at Sunset Captiva. This home had everything we needed to be comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked and bathrooms are all newly renovated and very Functional. It was wonderful having a full bathroom downstairs. We also really loved having the office with the couch so that people could spread out throughout the house and have a quiet spot to read. The community has really stepped up to replace plantings after hurricane Ian. The pool area is really lovely. Nice boardwalk to the beach that was a very quick walk from the house. Wonderful stay overall! Awesome post!

Great rental for familes

Great rental if you have smaller children and love to cook! The home had 2 pack-n-plays for our 5 month-old which allowed us to keep one in the first floor office for naps and the primary bedroom for night time. One less bag for us to check at the airport! The kitchen came equipped with all of the necessary kitchen tools to create a feast. Bonus: The house was also stocked with games which were enjoyed before bedtime, as well as a small library in the event of rainy weather or a day on the beach. We look forward to returning.

Perfect Choice

My son and I just spent a week in this Unit on Captiva Island. It was a last-minute booking but turned out to be a perfect choice. The unit has great space with private screened private balconies. And a king bedroom, with a master bath and a bedroom with two queens with its own bath. Since this a house rather than a condo, it is quiet! You will not notice the neighbors although they are close. The home also has a small office, so if you must do some work, you can do it in comfort. The location is perfect; at the end of Captiva Island, it has private access to miles of white sand beaches, perfect for those morning walks on the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, it has a large HEATED pool. Restaurants and shops are just a short walk away. I can find only one thing wrong with this house: We had to leave after 7 Days! Thanks for sharing your home.

Lovely property with all necessary amenities included

My family really enjoyed our stay at the Adler Familiy's Sunset Captiva property. The condo was spacious, clean, well maintained, well equipped, and we had no issues with appliances, water pressure, air conditioning etc..The property owner had an office with a computer and printer available for guest use. He also left helpful information and brochures of various restaurants, activities, and nearby shopping. The condo's proximity to the little "hub" area of Captiva is within walking distance. We rented bikes and our boys rented Vespas to tour around Captiva and neighboring Sanibel. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again. Unfortunately, we arrived (Aug 7-14) right at the worst of the dreaded Red Tide that destroyed the beaches of Captiva ( as well as most of the Gulf Coast of Florida) for most of our stay. The number of dead fish and the horrendous, toxic smell from their rotting corpses was absolutely disgusting. The municipality of Captiva Island should be ashamed of themselves for not moving fast enough and diligently enough to clean up Captiva Beach. Even though this is claimed to be a "natural disaster" (natural certainly not to this degree- human disregard for nature to blame), a great deal more could have been done to support tourists. If this was our first trip to Captiva Island and we had not known its true beauty from prior trips, we would never bother to return again. Many first timers we met were disgruntled by the lack of clean up. Given tourism is the basis for Captiva's economy, one would think a lot more could have been done to clean up the beaches.
