Dolphin Cottage: Beachfront Home With Stunning Views

Dolphin Cottage, an awesome 2-bedroom Bayfront home Just steps to your own private beach. Best fishing spot on the island!

Each bedroom has an ocean view, and our guests tend to enjoy the sunset on the terrace overlooking the gulf watching dolphins, manatees, eagles, turtles, and other marine life.

This remodeled lovely beachfront home has a private beach and two large open porches overlooking the water. Watch the dolphin go by and see the tarpon jumping in the sun. If you like to fish, this beach is the premier spot on the island near Captiva Pass.

Enjoy The Island Club, is included with your stay, and enjoy one of the two pools, the clay tennis courts, the pool bar and grill, or a complimentary kayak or bike ride. For golf carts, you can rent our own for $49/night or you can see Boats and Fun who will be able to rent out a golf cart for you.

This is the island to come to for relaxation, and this is the house to do it in. Dolphin cottage is just steps to the water, and the views are simply stunning.

This old-style Florida home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a queen-size pull-out sofa bed in the living room. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with a private bath, and the second bedroom has two twin beds with the hall bath immediately adjacent. Large-screen high-def televisions with wireless internet, fully equipped kitchen, and gas grill. The stove is an induction cooktop which works with specialized magnetic pots and pans that will be provided to you.

You would have access to The Island Club resort where your family can enjoy the use of the club amenities: 2 heated pools, hot tub, tennis court, half basketball court, usage of kayaks, bikes, and up to 4 beach chairs that you keep until the end of your stay.

The Island Club provides the linens, paper towels, tissue papers, trash bags, laundry soap, dish soap.

This vacation rental home is located on North Captiva Island. Remote and undiscovered, North Captiva Island is accessible only by ferry, private boat, or small plane. This private island community is reminiscent of old Florida as it once was during a simpler time. Just 3 miles offshore, this tropical paradise is part of the Lee Island Coast barrier island chain in South West Florida.

Nearest airport to fly to would be in Fort Myers or Punta Gorda.

We welcome you to join us for a truly memorable experience and hope that you and your family can appreciate North Captiva Island the way we have for so many years.

Love the location, rental sub par for the price.
Perfect , beautiful location, over priced for the quality of the home. Was charged a cleaning fee and linen fee, but was told to strip the bed sheets, wash and dry all towels. And do dishes. No service check in time or check out time. Had to switch golf carts 3 times in 4 day due to mechanical issues, and was difficult time to do that. No management seen at any time on the whole trip.

Choose it for the view
This was a very nice property. It was very tastefully decorated and the amenities were more than adequate. It is showing signs of age/wear but was still a beautiful property to stay in. We had issues with the cart, ice maker, and stopper in the bathtub but most were addressed or corrected by the management company. We had items damaged during the shuttle transport but those were taken care of as well.

The Dolphin Cottage name is spot on....
North Captiva is a special place. If you're looking for a simple 2BR cottage to relax and enjoy sunrise, dolphins, boat watching, shelling, sandy beach bar and sunsets - this checks the box. Great location. Beautiful sunrise from the master bedroom bed.

Nice getaway!
The home was clean which is very important the kitchen was well supplied to cook what ever you wanted. The surrounding bushes and trees needs some trimming up but otherwise all was good.

Great location
We loved our stay on north Captiva. The cottage was just what we wanted space-wise. We’d love to return as soon as the issues with travel calm down.

Beautiful, quiet place to unplug
My only issues were the golf cart being given to us uncharged. We had to push it about a 1/2-3/4 mile to our house. Also harder than it should be to get reservations at On the Water and the Boathouse. Otherwise it was a wonderful vacation and we are definitely going back!!

Beautiful Vacation
This was the perfect vacation for a getaway with adult friends. This house wasn’t very clean, but had mostly what we needed. If we came back, though, I would not rent this house again.
