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 this house is unbelievable. We had an incredible time at this property. Getting there isn’t easy and buying groceries or anything needed requires lots of extra planning and money but the setting and easy access to the most beautiful parts of this beach are absolutely worth every penny and all the effort.

The location of this house cannot be beat!! I would absolutely stay here again. The only challenge was the 3rd bedroom/2nd bathroom was not attached to the main living space and the rest of our group, but it didn't ruin our experience. We loved watching dolphins from the deck every day. No one ever set up in front of our house so we felt like we had our own private beach. The kids loved the outdoor shower.

Overall the property presents a stunning setting and access to the beach. We had some issues that we promptly answered or taken care of by the property management company. The only compliant is the bed mattresses were extra firm and a little hard to sleep on depending on what you are used to. Definitely would rent this property again. Duncan with the property management company was great as well.

Best Vacation Ever!

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!

Stunning!

Stunning sunset views from the deck! It just might be the perfect beach house, the water is closer than it appears in the pictures. The house has been beautifully updated since the pics in the listing. North Captiva is the perfect plus to unplug and relax. Added bonus that the beds and linens were very comfortable.

Spectacular location

This house was better than I could have imagined. This was our first visit to North Captiva and I could not have picked a better location to stay. The views are priceless. We loved everything about the island and the house and will be back for certain. The property owner and management co was easy to work with and provided us with everything we needed and then some. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful week of memories and fabulous shelling!

Wonderful beach house!

We had a great week in North Captiva and loved Beach’s Edge! The house location was perfect and although the property itself is dated, it has just what you need and more! We especially enjoyed the updated kitchen. Most of all, Duncan and Laurie (property management) will make sure your stay is absolutely perfect and are such sweet people to work with!

The BEST place to be

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.

Best view, location on the Island

This was our second stay on the Island and first time at Beaches Edge. We loved it so much we have booked it for next year. The house itself was very clean and had everything we needed. The views and the beach were the best. A very peaceful and relaxing getaway. The owners were very responsive with information. We can't wait for our next trip in July to Beaches Edge. The only negative comment about Beaches Edge is we had to leave.

fantastic location

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!
