Palm trees and native vegetation lend a casual tropical garden feel 
to this luxurious, three-level Florida-style house with 2 porches 
overlooking spectacular views of the Gulf.  The grounds include 
secluded sunny or shady seating areas and a short, private path to 
your very own stretch of beach.  Inside, large groups can 
comfortably gather in the modern, fully-equipped kitchen, the two 
dining areas, and the light, airy great room, but other seating 
areas, inside and out, tempt couples to grab a good book or beach 
chairs and find get-away spots of their own.  All doors leading to 
the pool are armed with alarms and the pool is entirely fenced with 
self-locking gates.

The master bedroom suite on the uppermost level includes a king-size 
bed, TV/VCR, wet bar, small reading room, a spacious mirrored bath 
with jacuzzi tub and separate glass-walled shower, and a private 
sunning porch with Gulf view.

The master bedroom on the main level offers a king-size bed, TV, 
Gulf view from the glass door-wall and screened porch.  It connects 
via a full-size bathroom to another guest bedroom with 2 twin 
beds.  There is an additional half-bath on this floor, as well. The 
great room includes an entertainment center with CD 
player, TV, VCR, and DVD player.

Yet another family can comfortably spread out on the lower level, 
which includes a bedroom with queen-size bed connecting to a sitting 
room with TV, a large private bath, and a spacious, accommodating 
family room with TV/VCR/DVD player, table and chairs for 
games/puzzles, small refrigerator, and a fold-out queen sleeper 
sofa.  

Laundry facilities on the main level, closets, and storage spaces 
are conveniently located.  

One of Captiva's top restaurants, the Green Flash, offers excellent 
bay-side dining just a short walk from the house.  Other 
restaurants, galleries, and shopping are just minutes away on this 
small island paradise.  

You can rent kayaks and explore Roosevelt Channel and the inlets and 
canals of Buck Key or engage a boat/guide to adventure out into Pine 
Island Sound to fish, go shelling, or have lunch on Cabbage Key or 
exclusive Collier Island.  Osprey and other shore birds, dolphins 
and manatee are all there to greet island visitors, and Beach Sweet 
Beach offers some of the best sunset views available anywhere in 
south Florida.

Weekly rates vary, depending upon the time of year, from $4,500/week
