About this property
Captiva Bayside Cabana !
**This property has a “Value Property” designation**
Need a quiet place to relax and hang your hat while you spend your time on all that Captiva has to offer? Then you need to stay at Baywatch Cabana, an efficient apartment situated on a lush three-acre site along Roosevelt Channel on Captiva Island. That is not only inexpensive but clean and comfortable. The individual but fully-furnished Cabana features a queen-sized bed, sofa, full bathroom, kitchenette (microwave and full-size refrigerator), and washer and dryer. The lanai has an eating area along with a gas grill, while French doors open onto a small sun deck facing north.
Outdoor games are also available to use on the abundant green lawns, or relax around the fire pit in the landscaped area. The grounds offer two shared docks with electricity and water for fishing or boating. Turn right out of the driveway to Captiva Village to try some of the main restaurants or shops on Andy Rosse Lane, or turn left onto Captiva Drive to go to Blind Pass for fabulous shelling.
Baywatch Cabana does not have deeded beach access.
Rent Baywatch Cabin or with one or all of the other Baywatch homes on the 3-acre estate. All homes are pet-friendly with an additional fee.

My husband and I just loved our stay here (5 days)! It has everything you need for a perfect island getaway! Everything went smoothly and we would definitely recommend staying here. We used the kayak (very easy to handle), loved the screened-in porch area. Quiet place. Very pleased with this place !

My husband and I traveled to attend a wedding on Captiva. The Baywatch Cabana was the perfect space to stay between activities. Check in was easy and the listing was accurate.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review!! Kingfisher Vacations
Casual setting. Felt private and away from highway even though it was close to the road. Could have used some light on the address plaque at night. Overshot the entrance a few times. We felt that privacy was well served at this location!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you loved the house!!!. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Thank you again! Kingfisher Vacations
Nice secluded location. We liked the location for fishing, access to the beach is 1.3 miles down the road at Blind pass where parking is $5/hr or you can bike. Bring a hot plate if you want to cook other than the microwave. The lanai is nice but no see ums can get in we used it for storage of fishing gear
Our accommodations were perfect for my husband and myself. A representative called us on Tuesday to make sure everything was as expected. The dock turned out to be fantastic because we could not find parking at the beaches. We took the beach chairs to the dock and saw pelicans dive and eat, dolphins swim past the dock an eagleFly over and other birds I could not identify chairs to the dock and watched pelicans
