This bayfront home offers breathtaking views from every room and direct access to a private beach, making it the ideal getaway for relaxation and adventure. Dolphin Cottage features two well-appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom includes a king bed and a private bathroom, while the second bedroom offers two twin beds with a hall bath nearby. The living room boasts a queen-size pull-out sofa, perfect for additional guests. The fully equipped kitchen includes an induction cooktop and all necessary kitchenware. A gas grill and beach chairs are provided for your use. Large porches extend the living space outdoors, offering panoramic views of the Gulf and opportunities to watch dolphins, manatees, and other wildlife. The cottage's prime location is renowned as the best fishing spot on the island, near Captiva Pass, where you can enjoy the sight of tarpons jumping in the sun. Guests have full access to The Island Club, where you can enjoy two heated pools, a hot tub, tennis and basketball courts, and complimentary kayak and bike rentals. Though car-free, North Captiva Island is easily navigated by golf cart, available for rent. The Island Club staff is available to assist with ferry services and provide recommendations for exploring the island. The island's secluded nature requires planning, so ensure to bring necessary supplies, as local amenities are limited. The island is accessible only by ferry, private boat, or small plane, with the nearest airports located in Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. Dolphin Cottage invites you to immerse yourself in the serene beauty and rich wildlife of North Captiva Island. Enjoy shelling, fishing, and bird watching in this untouched paradise. We welcome you to create lasting memories at Dolphin Cottage, where the beauty of nature and comfort of home combine for an unforgettable stay. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - Games - TV with satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden - Gas grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycles - Kayak - Tennis - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Bicycles - Garden ## Similar properties ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114880000/114878500/114878402/1c16d7ba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### SANDPIPER INN - TRUE BEACHFRONT Luxury; Pool/Hot tub & Golf cart NEW LISTING North Captiva - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-27&endDate=2025-10-28&selected=114878402&PinnedHotelID=114878402&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114500000/114491400/114491379/eec10ad7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### “BEACHFRONT” LUXURY ISLAND HOME.
