Perfect Rental for Large Families in an Ideal Location

Communication with owner was top-notch. We stayed at this rental property the end 2024 and beginning of 2025, and it was the perfect fit for our family of nine. The spacious layout provided plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling cramped. The multiple bedrooms and bathrooms were a huge bonus, making it easy for the kids to have their space.The location was unbeatable—just a short walk from a stunning beach. We loved starting our mornings with beach strolls and ending the day watching the sunset. The convenience of being so close to the water made our vacation even more relaxing and enjoyable.We highly recommend this vacation property!!

Spacious beautiful home with well appointed kitchen

This home is spacious, beautifully decorated and perfect for a large family. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. The pool, pool table, hammock, golf cart and other amenities make rest and relaxation a breeze. The home is a short walk to a private gated beach entrance. All this said, families should be aware the island was ravaged by a hurricane a year ago, and may houses are uninhabitable or under construction. Debris and construction supplies border many of the roads. We lost power for 8 hours one day, and we were told it was related to construction in the area. You should also be prepared to cook most, if not all, meals. Only 2 restaurants are open in the island, and 1 of those only on Saturday/Sunday. Highly suggest the Over the Waterfront restaurant. We were primarily there for the beach, so it worked great for us, but if the beauty of the overall island is important to you, be advised.

Family Vacation

Gulf Swells and Seashells is a beautiful house close to the beach. It was very clean and we were so comfortable there. The Tortuga Properties people were responsive and did their best to make our stay relaxing and care free. The island is obviously not back to normal after hurricane Ian but they are getting there. We were a little confused as to what kind of places were available to eat at and luckily we were prepared to fix our own meals. The grocery delivery service made that very easy for us. We had a great, relaxing trip and enjoyed visiting North Captiva.

Excellent place for an extended family!

Excellent place for a party of 10! We had two families with kids ranging in age from 3-13 and two grandparents. My dad has mobility issues so he enjoyed the beach view from the deck and the short walk to the beach. The pool was great for the kids. The house was clean and roomy. The owners were very accessible by phone and got back to us immediately with questions we had. I have stayed in many places around the country and this house and location has been my favorite!

Everything about this vacation was perfect. The house was spectacular and if you want a true escape, North Captiva is the perfect spot. The ultimate place to spend time with family with zero distractions. The boat ride and transportation on the island were perfect. We will return.

The property was what we expected and more! It was perfect for our group of eight.

We had high expectations and the property exceeded our expectations! The location was excellent (just a short walk to the beach) with gorgeous views of the beach and evening sunsets. The house layout was perfect with a large open floorpan on the second floor that our family really enjoyed. Each bedroom had its own bathroom and the beds were all very comfortable. Our 5 kids really loved the pool, hammock, and screened in back porches! We wish we could live there year around!

Perfect Vacation

The house was absolutely perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. Everything was so clean and all of the rooms were comfortable. The beach is right out the front door and my husband loved the fishing. There was so much natural beauty- our kids loved finding shells, spotting birds and identifying fish. The owners had some pamphlets that they used to identify each one in the evening. My dad loved using the golf cart to explore with his grand kids! The owners were very nice and helped us navigate the logistics of traveling to the island by boat and securing all of our groceries. It was intimidating at first but once we got there it was so nice to not be running to the grocery store each day! We were really able to focus on our family time. We enjoyed kayaking and golf cart rides to get ice cream! The pools both at the house and the Island Club were a great addition. I loved exploring the trails in the nature preserve. We saw tortoises, manatees, dolphins, bonnet sharks and a ray! We rented a boat for a couple days and explored some nearby islands- we would highly recommend an excursion to Cabbage Key. Be prepared to pay “Island prices” for any dining out you do- but it’s worth the treat every once in a while. We used the property management company to deliver fresh seafood one night and that was great! Next time we will probably do that more than once. We will definitely be back!
