AMAZING BEACH VIEWS, CONVENIENT BEACH ACCESS AND INCREDIBLE BEACH QUALITY

Be sure that a beach view really means a * GREAT * beach view. At The Compass Rose you'll be located so close to the beach that you can hear the waves! The Compass Rose is just 50 yards from the best and widest beach on the island. There is a big difference between a limited beach view hundreds of yards from the beach and a great beach view.

Also consider beach access. See the Island Map in the photos. The * ONLY * public beach access to the Gulf beach, with allowed golf cart parking, is located at the end of Butterfly Shell Drive. The Compass Rose is only 50 yards away from the public beach access. Guests at other homes on the island need to commute to the public beach access with their gear loaded on their golf carts and hope there is room to park. At The Compass Rose you are close enough to walk.

Consider beach quality as well. There are some sections of the beach that are so eroded that they are unusable to the public. Sea Air Lane, Oro Pesos Lane, Hidden Lane, Hodgepodge Lane and Escondido Lane all lack parking for public use and have narrow stretches of beach. The beach near The Compass Rose is accessible, wide and * GOURGEOUS *.

The Compass Rose offers unobstructed beach views. With 4000 sqft (2500 heated/cooled), The Compass Rose has 4 bedrooms, all with king beds, and spacious decks spread out over 5 levels. The rooftop deck is perched at a height of 40 ft above ground level with unforgettable panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico, Captiva Pass and the State Preserve.

The inverted design offers amazing views from the areas where you spend the most time. Enjoy dreamy bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen with a cook top, a double oven, both Keurig and drip coffee makers, a countertop ice maker, an Instant Pot pressure cooker and 2 grills (a grill conveniently located on the deck outside the kitchen and a charcoal BBQ located on the ground level).

North Captiva Island is the best-kept secret in Florida. Only four miles long and half a mile wide, North Captiva is a Caribbean-like barrier island accessible only by a 20-minute boat ride. Its golf carts only on sand roads on the island. For guests who like to explore the island, there are 20 miles of bike paths and huge State Preserve areas. Bikes, additional kayaks, boats, jet skis, paddle boards and fishing rods can all be rented at Boats and Fun on the island. Currently there are 2 restaurants on the island, Mango's Island Grill and Over the Waterfront.

What is included: High speed wireless internet, 4 flat screen TVs, YouTube TV, board games, 2 golf carts, beach towels/chairs/umbrellas, garbage bags, an iron/ironing board, toilet paper, paper towels, soaps (hand/kitchen/laundry) and dishwasher detergent.

Great house, amazing location

This was our 6th trip to North Captiva and our favorite house, yet. The location was incredible, with stunning sunset views and a 1 minute walk to the beach. The house was very clean and well equipped. My only two complaints were that the neighboring house, on the beach side, is quite close and was running a very loud pool heater the whole time we were there (despite being empty) which drowned out what should have been the lovely sound of crashing waves. The other issues was that there were many dishes in the cabinets that had been put away dirty, so we had to prewash everything before we used it. This is probably the fault of the previous guests, and not the property manager, but it was disconcerting, nonetheless. Were it not for these two small issues, the property would have been just about perfect.

Wow! Amazing place on North Captiva!

We were the first guests to stay after Ian in March 2023, and the property was in much better shape than a lot of others on the island! Everything was in tip top shape, and we had the most amazing time! The views are incredible, and the owner and manager went above and beyond! Very easy to communicate with! We would definitely stay again!

If I’m going to the beach, I’m going to North Captiva…

We chose Compass Rose because it was close to the beach with breathtaking views! Our party of 7 adults & 1 infant had plenty of room. Actually one room remained empty. I chose the mezzanine so I could wake up to spectacular ocean views! I do not love heights so I was glad the spiral staircase leading to the crows nest was short. It was extremely relaxing to sit in the white Adirondack chairs & watch the waves. Bliss! We loved the property manager!!! We will return again!!

Spring Break 2023

My husband daughter and 3 of her friends spent spring break at The Compass Rose. My 26 year old son flew in Tuesday from Austin and joined us. We also brought along 2 dogs. It was obvious all the hard work that had been done to the property since the hurricane. We had a completely unforgettable trip. Jenny and her crew were excellent and we had not issues except should have brought more food since the general store is closed and no service could accommodate a mid week order. I was afraid of bringing too much over, but will plan for more next time. We did a personal Instacart to Publix and then arrives early enough to pay to have it boat-packed. They are great at island girl charters about loading and unloading all things. The Compass Rose is perfectly set up for dogs, with multiple areas of the deck they can roam without being able to exit, and the adjoining rooms were perfect for teenage girls. The beds had very comfortable mattresses (Casper), the outdoor deck with the Edison lights and lounges is magical and the outlook point is breathtaking (Although I am personally too terrified of heights to spend much time there) thanks for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Reilly

I'm a Floridian for more than 20 years and have been involved with rentals for 15 years. This is a family beach house that we love sharing with our guests.

Why they chose this property

The Compass Rose on North Captiva Island is one of those places you need to see to believe. The island is equal parts charming and peaceful. The Compass Rose commands gorgeous views all year round. The sunsets are amazing! The Compass Rose is closer to the best, widest public beach than almost any other North Captiva rental so no commuting to the beach from far away on the island. With a private pool and hot tub and 4 included kayaks as well as 2 golf carts The Compass Rose is ready to help you make memories.
