About this property

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


Many return guests have checked into the Sun & Moon since our re-opening Feb 11th and we've received all 5-star reviews from all and most re-booked for the same week next year! New landscaping had just been completed prior to their arrival. We are ready for your reservation!! And all our VRBO photos were newly taken on July 29, 2023!

There is continuing post-Ian progress on Captiva, which fared far better than Sanibel. The Island Store in the village center is open, as is The Mucky Duck. Captiva Cantina, R C Otter's, Captiva Island Pizza, Starbucks, the Old Captiva House at Tween-Waters Resort plus their Shipyard Restaurant, and their all new Crow's Nest Steakhouse with a fabulous view from the new 2nd floor dining room. The Green Flash Restaurant reopened Sept 22nd and the Bubble Room Ice Cream Shop is open. Shops open include YOLO Rentals, Beach Stuff, Jungle Drums Gallery and more! It won't be long until other restaurants and shops announce their re-openings. The beach looks as good as ever..

House Description:

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.

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.

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 newly 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, Receiver and CD player, and its own bath in the room. Children love this spacious and well decorated and equipped room. The twin beds can be placed together (with advance notice) and made up as a King size bed for a couple.

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 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.

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.

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.

Sun & Moon did not disappoint.
The 6 of us had a great time celebrating the new year and a birthday. Location is as good as any in Captiva, easy walk to the beach, restaurants, store and even the Farmers Market. We had everything we needed for a great stay.

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.
