About this property

Captiva Sun & Moon Pool House - Beach Side of Village Center


Our Sun & Moon House, a 3 br/3 bath Key West-inspired home on popular Wightman Lane, is only a three-minute walk down the sandy lane to the beach -- rated the most romantic for its calm, warm water, tropical atmosphere, and gorgeous sunsets. The restaurants in the village are just as close. And please note, we're on Captiva Island where you can drive to, unlike North Captiva - a totally separate destination - where no cars are permitted.

The decor is always kept updated and amenities reflect a finished, comfortable home, rather than a rental unit. The new kitchen is fully equipped for any entertaining needs. Dining choices include a dining room or the screened, furnished lanai by the re-finished swimming pool and paver stone-covered pool deck, or even the furnished sun & moon deck on the top level.

The glass-sided living room, with a leather, super comfortable sleeper sofa and side chairs, offers a panoramic view of the swimming pool and the tropical foliage. The entertainment center has a 50" LCD HDTV, DVD, and a Bluetooth connected 100-watt Onkyo stereo receiver, 6-disc CD changer and Infinity speakers inside and JBL poolside speakers. A large collection of CDs are provided. Wireless Comcast Internet and long-Comcast free calling in the 48 states. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, ice coolers, and handy beach cart make for an easy beach day.

The master bedroom on the second floor has a king-size bed, its own full bath, and 32" HDTV. The "sun & moon" deck is accessible from this room as well as the hallway.

The second-floor guest bedroom has two twin beds, HDTV/DVD, and its own full bath in the room. Children love this spacious and well decorated and equipped room.

The first-floor guest room, separated from the main living area for privacy, has a full bath, desk workspace, and 32" wall-mounted HDTV. It's perfect for another couple, the grandparents, or a nanny for the children.

Naturally, all linens are provided and you'll find everything in perfect, move-in condition. Beach towels, lounge chairs, and umbrellas are provided for the beach. Our pool lanai is totally furnished and a new Weber gas grill is ready for a cookout.

Even more information: Bikes for adults or children can be rented and delivered to your door. The restaurants in Captiva's village are no more than a two to three-minute walk away. Our Guest Guide, found in the living room, lists many of our personal recommendations to get your vacation started quickly.

This home is not with a management company. It is managed and prepared personally by us, the owners. We personally supervise and assist our cleaning staff each Saturday. As the last to walk out the door prior to your arrival, we can assure you the Sun & Moon is one of the most immaculate and best-prepared homes on Captiva, both inside and outside.

We accept only Saturday to Saturday reservations, as is the standard on Captiva Island. We accept reservations no further than a year in advance, as current guests have the first option to reserve the same week the following year. If the guests do not re-book by 10 am of their departure day, a new reservation request may be accepted.

We also personally own and manage our smaller Mermaid House, VRBO 3506022, a classic Captiva cottage-style home. You are assured of a perfectly prepared house, both inside and out, as we're the last to leave the house before you arrive.

Make your reservation today before your desired week is taken.

Better than advertised

This property had absolutely everything you could ask for in a vacation house. Very peaceful location but the beach is close enough to walk to. Larry the owner was very nice and quick to respond to any questions we had. All in all a very happy experience.

Hop, skip, and a jump from the Beach!

This property really is in an excellent location. The beach is about 5 minutes and is located away from resorts, so you have lots of space. Dining and shopping are right around the corner, literally! We drove to Sanibel for larger grocer

Location, location, location (and pool)

We were three adults and two grandchildren. The pool at this house is lap-style which was perfect for us, much superior to a rounder pool. There could be two different games going on at the two ends and adults got to do laps. It is shallow at the ends and deeper in the middle, also a great thing. (One wish: that the steps to the pool at the street side could be repaired so one could exit from that end.) The cleaning system uses salt rather than chlorine which is fantastic. Super clean.Kitchen: minimal cooking equipment, but enough for us. Dishwasher is a bit elderly, but worked fine. Two different kinds of coffee pots: automatic drip and Keurig.Living area is comfortable and there are tons of CDs and a sound system that has speakers at the pool. Ceiling fans in every room. AC worked well.Everything was very, very clean. Downstairs bathroom is a bit tight but manageable. Showers are excellent, as is hot water supply. Soap was provided, a very nice extra touch. To consider: installing grab bars in the showers.Beds are great. There could be more pillows and the extras should probably have pillow cases for hygiene and preserving them.The beach is just down the block and there are very few cars on the street (almost none; we walked in the middle of the street.) Umbrellas (two!), numerous chairs and a big beach cart are provided. The surf is minimal and there is okay shelling. Walking distance to great restaurants. Iguanas of all sizes, ospreys and turtles thrilled the kids.

Spring Break 2024

We really enjoyed our stay. The house super-clean, well-stocked and ready for us. There was even music playing on the stereo as we arrived. The beach chairs, umbrellas and toys were great. We really liked having the wagon to haul our stuff down to the beach on our short walk. The pool was perfect for us. All in all, we had a great stay and hope to come back soon.

The Sun and Moon house is fabulous!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sun and Moon house! The house was just as described and was in a great location to walk to the beach and to all of the Captiva restaurants. We loved spending time in the pool each day after being at the beach. The property manager, Larry, was great to work with. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Larry has done a fantastic job with his home on Captiva. The kitchen has everything you would need & lots of storage for groceries. We loved the music set up inside & outside. Walk to beach was perfect & wagon with big wheels made it even easier. Thank you for allowing us to use your home.

The Sun & Moon is the best!!!

This was our second time staying at the Sun & Moon. Both times were two-week stays. I thought Sanibel was laid back and relaxing, but staying at the Sun & Moon was a whole new level of relaxing. We thought we would miss not having the gulf view, but the casual walk to the beach was actually an enjoyable event for our avid shell seekers. Highly recommended for all who want to relax in the tranquil environment of Captiva.

The Sun and Moon is a lovely home with great gathering areas inside and out! The location has to be the best on the island - walking distance to most every restaurant and the beach. A short golf cart ride away from anywhere else on the island. Larry is the perfect host! We will be back:-)!!!

Lovely Family Stay

Great for a stay with extended family. My in-laws slept on the main floor and my immediate family got our own floor upstairs. The house was clean and well-kept. The beach was never over-crowded. The pool is heated and kept at a perfect temperature. The screened in patio with covered outdoor dining area made me forget about Florida bugs every evening. We’ll definitely be returning.

Great Location and perfect family house.

The house was clean, exactly what we needed for a week, and close to all restaurants on the island plus a private beach area within 0.2 miles which was a nice walk. Only thing I’d have to comment on was 1 of the bathroom’s showers was a little tight. Getting into and out of the shower was awkward.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Hahn, Owner

Host profile image
We live in the area and personally maintain our two very popular beach vacation rental homes, the Sun & Moon and the smaller 2 bedroom, 2 bath Mermaid Pool House (perhaps the most popular rental house on Captiva), to provide maximum attention to detail. We don't leave the house for a management company as most owners do. We really think our homes are the two best prepared on the island, regardless of rental cost!

In addition to being part of the preparation team each Saturday, Larry and Debbie are also Licensed Florida Realtors.



Why they chose this property

Captiva is a boutique type Island, often compared to Aruba without the wind, or Hawaii without the volcanos. Captiva is a tropical Carribbean style island and looks nothing like the rest of Florida. The Sun & Moon is centrally located on the beach side of the village center area. There are no streets to cross between our house and the beach.

What makes this property unique

For some it's the immaculate preparation of the house and pool, for others it's the style of furniture always kept fresh, perhaps the great Bluetooth compatible audio system with inside and poolside speakers, or perhaps the HDTV w/DVR in the living room and LCD TVs in each bedroom. Some just love the unique beach cart we assembled with special oversize balloon tires. It's easy to haul all our beach chairs, umbrella and ice cooler to the beach with this handy cart. And our large top floor furnished sun & moon deck is always well used in the day for a great tan or star gazing on a clear Captiva night.
