Fully renovated Luxury House pool! HUGE 5 BD 5 BA 9 bed! Sleeps 16! 2 golf carts

*This property is located on North Captiva which is only accessible by ferry or boat. *

Our home, Dreamcatcher, is on North Captiva Island. This is a remote barrier island in Lee County in Southwest Florida, located just offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. It lies just north of Captiva Island, separated by a channel called Redfish Pass which was created in a 1921 hurricane. It lies just south of Cayo Costa Island, separated by Captiva Pass. North Captiva Island or Upper Captiva Island is comprised of full time residents and vacation renters. We offer gorgeous sugar sand beaches, an abundance of wildlife and tropical plants and landscape, world class shelling and fishing plus two thirds of the Island are State Preserve perfect for walking trails that lead directly to the Ocean.

*Dreamcatcher house has been completely gutted and remodeled after Hurricane Ian. No detail spared! Everything BRAND NEW! Dreamcatcher is located on the southern side of North Captiva, the last street before the beautiful nature preserve. You'll have tons of privacy and be away from the crowds here! When you follow our street on a less than 5 min walk or quick golf cart ride you'll find the best beaches stateside. Our home sits on a large private lot with a beautiful private heated pool (new pool heater & pool pump added in 2025) and lots of outdoor spaces to take in the beautiful island life. Enjoy the custom 5 bedroom house/ 5 bathroom house, with 4 bedrooms with en suite bath. The well designed gourmet kitchen is also a delight to cook in.

When you arrive on the island, you will be met at the dock and we will get you and your luggage settled into the house, which comes with your own personal golf cart for your island transportation during your stay. Our island has no cars, no traffic, only lushly lined sandy trails and golf carts! The property is a short 5 minute golf cart ride from the dock. 2 golf carts are included with your stay. Only licensed drivers can drive the golf cart.

Our house is located on the closest street to the 350 acre nature preserve with its wide vista of palm trees. A beautiful white sugar sand beach is just a short stroll or golf cart ride down the street. Don't miss this very special home.

Wonderful vacation home for our entire family. Loved the homes layout, plenty of room for everyone, lots to do outside, and even though it was very hot during our stay, the air conditioner worked great and a welcome reprieve from the heat. We did not think we would use the pool after being at the beach all day, but because it was partly shaded everyone jumped in and swam for a while. Great memories were created !!

Slice of Paradise

Wonderful stay with a large family of 16. Dreamcatcher is a beautifully decorated home that had everything we needed! From the gorgeous views, comfortable beds, nice showers, and fully stocked kitchen it is truly a slice of paradise! There were two golf carts to explore the island but also a short walk to the beach where we watched the most beautiful sunsets. Would highly recommend and hope to stay at Dreamcatcher again!

PICK ME!

We are Florida natives and choose to vacation on North Captiva regularly...whenever we arrive we assess what we have and what we need...this property manager (supported by the owner) was the most excellent of all our stays. The response time was was next day if not sooner. Every beach house has a personality and this one fit the myriad personalities of our three generation family from 6-78...best of all the golf carts were dependable and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Family Birthday Retreat

Chose this for a family retreat to celebrate my wife’s birthday. It was a wonderful experience. Laurie and her concierge team were especially helpful in navigating transportation, supplies and coordination issues on a semi remote island. Property was perfect for 3 families w/kids. The beach is beautiful and the weather was outstanding during our stay. The boys were very excited about the opportunity to surf fish. One family even did a day’s fishing charter. Even the single day that it rained was relaxing. Everyone said it was great to unplug without all the peripheral activities. Resident’s tip…be careful if you’re making toast as the smoke detector is very sensitive.

Great house for a large group

This house worked well for our family trip. Pictures inside are accurate and spaces worked well to have a large group. We did run into a couple of issues:Listing shows that you are part of the Island Club VIP Membership. We did not have access to this. Not too big of a deal since there is still a pool by Mangos for non club members, but would've been awesome to have access to bikes and kayaks. Ended up renting bikes for an afternoon, but would've used them more than once and would definitely have used the kayaks. Pool at the house was absolutely not useable during our stay. Didn't even look like it was running. Property managers knew and apologized, but didn't fix it. We wouldn't have used it anyway because it is TINY. But if you had little kids who wanted to swim while you grill, you'd want to use it. PROSHaving included golf carts was amazing!Weather was perfect over spring break. It's a very relaxing island with no real nightlife. Mangos pool bar was greatOver The Waterfront was a highlight - food was incredible!CONSNo ice maker in the freezer and it was definitely "island pricing" for ice.There is still quite a bit of hurricane damage on the island.

Wonderful Stay, Amazing House

My family enjoyed our stay at Dreamcatcher! It was a beautiful home with plenty of space for our large 7 adults, and 3 children group. The house is well appointed with everything we needed, plus some! Tortuga Properties was a joy to work with, Duncan and Laurie were always available and quick to answer questions. Arrival and Departure were seamless thanks to Tortuga and their team of people. We can not say enough good things about staying on North Captiva; beaches, sunsets, NCIC pools, Kayaking, wildlife, it was all absolutely wonderful!! We will be returning again!

Magical Family Vacation!

We had the most wonderful 5 days on North Captiva. It was our first time on the island, and we can’t wait to come back! Dreamcatcher was a perfect home base for our group of 6, and could have accommodated another family as well! Our favorite feature was the little pool and patio - perfect for relaxing and grilling after a day at the beach. Dreamcatcher is beautiful and well-maintained - what a lovely home. Tortuga, the property management group was so helpful and easy to work with. All around 5 stars!

Great stay!

We had a great stay at Dreamcatcher! The house was spotless when we arrived and there was plenty of room for everyone. The only 2 comments I have of what could have gone better was that some items did not work as well as expected like the golf cart, and refrigerator and that initially we saw some bugs. Duncan was very responsive and helpful to us and we really appreciated him! We would definitely stay here again. We loved it!!!

Ultimate Relaxation

We absolutely loved our stay at Dreamcatcher and at N Captiva Island. The house was extremely comfortable and clean and well stocked. We didn't lack for anything, and Tortuga was extremely helpful and responsive. They made it very easy to get from the ferry to the house on check-in day and then back to the ferry on the morning we left. The home is a short walk or very short golf cart ride to the beach, and we had all the chairs and towels we needed. First time to N Captiva, and we'd definitely love to return and would definitely stay in this great home again!

Great stay, the single beds are for children not adults

Great place, so close to the beach, There were only two good beds for adults, each king size so they will sleep two. But the singles and bunks are for kids and the one double bed off the kitchen is a fold out, hard for more than one person to sleep comfortably there.

Dreamcatcher truly lived up to its name

We had 6 grown adults and 2 children under 5. The home was perfect for us. Lots of games in the games closet, lots of games by the pool downstairs. The Tortuga Property Manager, Duncan, was great! Always available to assist! A very short walk to the best beach on the island or a short walk into the Nature Preserve. We had a great time!

READ THE SPECIFICS

This property cannot be accessed by car and there are terrible ferry costs and surcharges if you can’t fit within their “hours”. Beyond that they hosts offer to get you groceries for a 40% charge of the cost of the bill. Everything is an up charge and is extremely Inconvenient to get to. If you are okay with that then disregard but make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into.

North Captiva getaway

This trip allowed for two families to come together under one roof for a week to enjoy some peace and quiet and the company of each other. Our experience on the island was overall a good one - beautiful beaches, shelling was so much fun, seeing dolphins and gorgeous sunrise and sunsets, and not dealing with crowds were all a plus. Our property managers, Ally and Sean were super responsive to addressing the issues we did encounter - golf cart broke down on day 1, internet/wifi was down the entire trip, one of the bathrooms became infested with gnats, and the mosquitos on the island in general were serious (wish we would have been warned). Again, Sean and Ally were on top of all the issues and helped to resolve most of them and those they didn't was not for lack of trying! The house balconies and pool outdoor area is not screened in so we barely could enjoy the time outside in the evening without bathing in insect repellant. The island had a lot of debris and flooded roads which we learned to navigate and it wasn't until the latter part of the trip that the roads were filled in. The house was in a good location, close to the beach, spacious and generally clean but definitely requires some TLC and updating.

Saving our vacation

Let me start out by telling a story about renting a vacation house on Anna Marie Island. We arrived on a Saturday about 5 o'clock and it was an absolute nightmare from that point on. Out of desperation I told my family that I had located a house for rent on North Captiva Island it was a brand new listing and we didn't even know thing about Captiva Island. I read some reviews about the Captiva and decide right then to book the property. Right after I booked the home I contacted the owner Karla Gust and explained to her my desperation to save my family's vacation. Karla was boarding a plane with her two small children heading to Florida to stay at her vacation rental. Karla could have told me to pound sand, it's her home but instead she cancelled her trip told me not to worry and graciously let me and my family check in hours before the 4 o'clock check in time (Karla you are a phenomenal person!). We arrived on the island at 0900 and were greeted by Sean from Karla's management company. We were given a tour of the island and taken to the house. The house is amazing the beach and the island are by far the best. I have been to in Florida teeming with dolphins, manatees and turtles! The water is crystal clear. This saved our vacation and my family wants to book the house again next year. Karla and her amazing house deserve 10 🌟. Thanks again Karla you rock!!!!
