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.

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!!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better spot for our stay on North Captiva! This location is just the best, shells and sunset can’t be beat here. We loved everything about it and can’t wait to go back! Seriously heavenly!

Beautiful house, closest to water on isolated beach. Best shelling in Florida. Wake up to picture perfect view and peaceful mornings. Family friendly.

This was by far our favorite family vacation! The home is in the best location on the island and the view of the sunset from the deck is amazing! The property managers were very personable and professional and made our stay on the island worry free. We can’t wait to return to paradise and will definitely book Beach’s Edge!

We look forward to our yearly vacation at North Captiva and staying at Beaches Edge. It feels like home the minute we pull up to the house. It has everything we need and we loved the new living room furniture. The views are the best on the beach and we really enjoyed watching the sunsets while sitting on the new swing. Alicia is awesome to work with and always takes care of us. We can’t wait to go back next year.

Great spot for some family time! We only ate out twice (underwhelming at best)...but that's not why we were there. We stopped at grocery before heading to the island and rarely left the house/beach. Made friends with a crab that lived by the deck. Saw tones of wildlife. It was lovely!

We had a great time! The house has one of the best locations on the island, right on the beach! The new management company makes for a seamless transfer of your items to and from the house on check in and check out! They took care of everything that we needed! Would recommend this house for a small family. We stayed with 2 adults, 2 kids. Tons of wildlife as you tour the island on your golf cart - also a must have! We enjoyed it - very relaxing stay! Thank you!

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!

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.

We throughly enjoyed staying at your property and I will most definitely be back in the future. The only issues we had were we were ate up by sand fleas sitting on the upper back deck having some more citronella candles and/or preventive if any could be done. It did get pretty warm in the evenings in the living area but we adapted. Again thank you for an enjoyable property with some of the most amazing sunsets and night views we had ever seen.

My husband brought me here to celebrate our honeymoon, and it was perfect! This house is so close to the water, we were lulled to sleep each night by the sound of the ocean waves. The furniture and bedding was in great condition, and the kitchen was stocked with all the supplies we needed to cook fabulous meals each day (using the groceries we brought with us). We rarely came across other people near the property, making us feel like we were on our own private romantic getaway. You cannot beat the location of this beach house!! I definitely hope to return one day! :)

My husband and I stayed here with our 3 young kids for the first time and had a blast. The view was amazing. There was even a sandbar out in the water. Sunsets were breathtaking. Someone had started making a fort on the beach out of driftwood and palm trees, so the kids loved it. Shells were endless and fun to pick. Walked right out on to the beach from the house. Loved taking the golf cart to the pool, appreciating the nature on the way. There was lots of wildlife to appreciate- pelicans, turtles, dolphins, manatees. Was an amazing vacation-couldn't of asked for a better location on the island! One of a kind.

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.

I can’t say enough good things about this home and Alicia. From the very beginning she has been quick to respond and extremely informative. The home had everything you could possibly need for a week or more stay. The beds were comfy, home was spotless, and you feel secluded and peaceful while watching the water. We played monopoly one of the nights that it rained (glad it was in the closet!), and although we didn’t think we’d turn the TV on at all, it was nice to have for the weather and news. LOVED tooling around the island on the golf cart that was included. We WILL be back next year and I have already recommended this home and vacation to all my friends and family. Thanks so much Alicia!!!!

We recently returned from our 3rd stay on North Captiva and the 2nd time staying at this home. The view and location cannot be beat. There are beautiful sunsets and an almost constant breeze coming off the gulf. The views from inside the house are wonderful and the top deck is great place to sit back and relax with a cold drink. We stayed in this home a few years ago with some other friends, and while we had a great vacation, the house definitely needed some repairs and upgrades. From what can tell, all the issues we had the first time have been dealt with in the past couple years and the house is in outstanding condition. We brought some family with us this time and they loved it. I can't recommend this house enough. While it is not the fanciest place on the island, it is perfectly located and has homey fell to it. We will definitely be back(hopefully every year). Thank you to the owners for sharing this piece of paradise!
