BEACHFRONT, HEATED POOL, KAYAKS/SUP, LANAI W/ GULF VIEWS, 85' DOCK, 2 GOLF CARTS

* ALWAYS CLEANED AND SANITIZED BY A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING SERVICE!!
Welcome to North Captiva Island, a private, bridge-less island accessible only by boat. North Captiva was separated from Captiva Island by a hurricane in 1921 which created Red Fish Pass. The lack of a bridge made development of North Captiva difficult and has resulted in an "Island Paradise", with a feel similar to Florida in the 1940's. North Captiva is noted for uncrowded, un-restored beaches with excellent shelling. The south two-thirds of the Island is a state wildlife area, while the north one-third is lightly developed with homes. "Island Time" is observed once you step off the boat onto the island!

Please do not miss Gulf Dreams' drone video. You can access it in our pictures.

IMAGINE... a beach vacation at a house that’s like your very own luxury beach resort called Gulf Dreams on-the-beach. The deed to this beach house states that the property’s west boundary is the Gulf of Mexico. The house has 75 feet of private, white sand Gulf beach for your pleasure, easily accessed by the only private, elevated walkway on the island.

IMAGINE... keeping your own or rented boat at Gulf Dreams on-the-beach’s private 85-foot dock (lot is fenced with private, locked entrance, 28 ft boat or smaller only) on a private canal located 1,000-feet east of Gulf Dream's beach house. This dock can also be used for fishing.

You will be greeted upon your arrival on North Captiva by Gulf Dream's manager. Our manager will transport you and your luggage and groceries to Gulf Dreams (unless you requested the kitchen be pre-stocked), will familiarize you with Gulf Dreams amenities, as well as the island, and will be a phone call away during your stay to meet your needs.

IMAGINE... a secluded beach house four stories tall accessed by a long, landscaped driveway providing privacy from golf cart traffic and neighboring houses.

IMAGINE.. a bright and airy 4-story beach house with vaulted ceiling heights of 10 to 14 feet throughout, 2 large screened-in lanais with expansive views of the pool and Gulf of Mexico (one where you can eat all your meals outdoors, the other where you can play ping-pong and board games).

IMAGINE... a large, 4th-floor master suite, with spectacular 360-degree views of the Gulf and bay sides of the island, a gourmet, fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and high-end appliances, travertine and granite bathrooms.

IMAGINE... having privately-owned heated swimming pool and pool-side gazebo located on a beach dune, surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation.

IMAGINE... the only private, raised walkway that provides access to Gulf Dream's private beach while assuring complete privacy for the pool and Gulf Dreams.

IMAGINE... your own 12 beach chairs and 3 umbrellas, 4 kayaks (4 single) and 2 SUP paddle boards make going to the "island" (an exposed sandbar) 1/3 mile offshore a great family shelling adventure. Two golf carts are provided. Volleyball equipment provided for entertainment on Gulf Dream's beach.
