North Captiva Island is a private island that has just over 350 houses. The island is extremely special with miles of beautiful beaches, world-class shelling, birding, fishing, and of course true relaxation.

The whole island is only four miles long (and ½ mile wide at the widest part), but about half of the island is owned by the State of Florida and managed as a preserve that offers residents and guests miles of hiking trails and access to extremely remote and private white sand beaches.

The island has three restaurants (serving casual snacks to full gourmet meals), an Island Market (not a grocery store, but has as few last-minute items), ice cream shop/boutique and an island store.

Our island features golf carts and dirt roads only. This island is a very special and unique place, unlike any other vacation or have or will ever take… it is perfect for creating amazing memories that will last a lifetime.

There are two public ferries that provide transportation from Pine Island to Upper Captiva (and back) throughout the day. Once you arrive at Upper Captiva, you will enjoy cruising around in our new lifted six seater golf cart! Don’t worry, we’ll educate you on all of the logistics and help with anything you need before your arrival :)
