About this property

Upgraded beach house located just steps away from the beach. Pool and Hot tub.

This charming home is in the perfect location on North Captiva Island. The private heated pool and hot tub won’t stop you from taking the few steps to the best beach area on the island. Be ready to become obsessed with total relaxation. New flat screen TV’s, ceiling fans, lighting, dishwasher, high speed internet (Starlink) and constant upgrades in this home are just the beginning. With the rooftop observation deck, views of the Gulf of Mexico and the amazing sunsets along with the Nature Reserve just to the south, it is hard to decide which direction to look, hence the two golf carts available to take you exploring the amazing island.

Fabulous Beach House!

What a wonderful island and the house was just minutes from the beach! The owner was very responsive, and the property manager made our first time arrival on the island so easy! The house was perfect with a well-appointed kitchen, hot tub, pool, barbecue area. screened porch and to top it off, a shell cleaning station! We loved going for golf cart rides to explore the island, walking on the beach, and meeting islanders at the restaurants! We have found a special place!

Lovely stay at the Lemon Drop

The Lemon Drop was just right for us (two couples and a dog) to share. Having a pool was the deciding factor and it was perfect! Lots of sun but also a little shade for anyone who prefers it. The kitchen had everything we needed. New bathrooms were very nice. The video that is posted is outdated so go by the photos. Location can't be beat!! Just a short walk down the street to the beach. The screened in porch was a little small when we had friends stop by, but fine for 4 people. Both Genny (owner) and Laura (property manager) were quick to respond to our needs. A little cluttered, but overall a great place to rent! .

Lemon drop doesn't disappoint.

This was our second trip to the island. Last one was with extended family for our vow renewal. This time it was just the 2 of us and lemon drop was perfect. Comfortable, private, and close to the beach. The hottub was so relaxing. The house had everything we could need. I absolutely loved the rain shower head in the main bathroom. Wonderful. The island is slowly coming back. We'll be back for sure.

Slice of Heaven

The lemon drop property had everything we needed. This was our second trip to Captiva. Having the pool and hot tub with the kids was wonderful. This property is a short walk or a quick cart ride to one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island. We had a wonderful stay. Can’t wait to go back again!

Relaxation at it’s best!

We were fortunate to enjoy three weeks on North Captiva. We sure didn’t miss the cold weather and snow back home. The island is pure relaxation. You unplug and wander the sandy beaches (and roads) to your heart’s content. Followed, of course, by a nap on one of the comfy beds at the Lemon Drop. We are already booked for next year! Be sure to enjoy many drinks and meals at Mangos. You won’t be disappointed.

Great stay at the Lemon Drop

Fantastic house and location. Our three kids aged 7, 9 & 12 loved the heated pool and hot tub. The included golf carts were great and we had so much fun exploring the island. What an incredible island! The house had everything we could have possibly needed and Genny the owner and Tortuga Properties were excellent to deal with. Would highly recommend staying here and we can't wait to go back to North Captiva. What a great family vacation spot.

Excellent Stay

My family of 5 had a wonderful stay at the Lemon Drop. The home was spotless and well-stocked. Both bathrooms were beautifully updated and a new fold out couch was also there, which was very comfortable. Genny was very communicative and easy to reach with any questions. Tortuga was extremely helpful, picking us up at the ferry, responding to questions, and dropping us at the ferry for our very early departure. We loved our trip and hope to be back again next year.

Just what we needed

We had an incredible stay at the Lemon Drop. While we knew Hurricane Ian had caused extensive damage to the island, Genny and Paul could not have been more welcoming and grateful for our visit and went out of their way to make our vacation incredible. The beaches were amazing and the home was so comfortable. The pool and hot tub were so fun! The newly renovated master bath was beautiful. The home is well stocked for cooking and grilling. The location of the home is perfect for walking to the beach and with the supplied golf cart we could tour the island and visit the two open restaurants. One of our favorite moments was our boat tour with Captain Deb and watching the dolphins play behind the boat! Experience of a lifetime! Thank you again Genny and Paul for everything!

We loved the Lemon Drop!

We really enjoyed our time on North Captiva! The house was cozy but the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. They even had a pancake griddle! With three small children, we enjoyed the pool (with plenty of beach towels provided) and collecting shells at the beach. The outdoor shower and “shell washing station” was my 3 y/o’s favorite thing. We enjoyed the stress free island life where everything is just a golf cart ride away. The washer/dryer were also a plus and plenty of soap, etc was provided. I couldn’t have asked for anything more! Genny has done a wonderful job making sure you have all you need.

Absolute Paradise

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect trip. The Lemon Drop vacation home left us wanting for nothing. It was immaculate, well furnished, close to the beach, had a heated pool and hot tub, golf carts to navigate the island, wildlife was abundant (dolphins, manatee, gopher tortoise, bald eagle, osprey) the list goes on. The owners were amazing to work with and helped navigate the whole process of living on an island for a week. Communication was fantastic and they put so much thought and love into their vacation home. When you need to escape from the noise of the world… we highly recommend renting The Lemon Drop. We can’t wait to book again!!

Amazing experience

We loved staying at the Lemon Drop. Such a cozy cottage atmosphere. Decor felt like home. Walk to the beach was so close. Spent most of our down time in the pool. Alot of sunshine on the pool area! Ginny and Paul are awesome. Tortuga Properties were so efficient handling our "in" and "out" moving. Love this island!

About the host

Hosted by Genny

Host profile image
Thank you for checking out The Lemon Drop. It took just two trips to the island for us to decide we wanted to purchase a home and share it. We are originally from Wisconsin, but call Tennessee our home. We have two grown kids; both married and graduated from college. Our family fell in love with this island, and we feel extremely blessed to be able to share it.

The Preston Family

Why they chose this property

We chose the property for the location on the island and the ability to build on. The "no cars" just golf carts is just an added real island feel.

What makes this property unique

The "no cars" only golf carts on the island and the uniqueness of only accessibility to the island via ferry/boat makes this Island a "One of a Kind place".
