About this property
Butterfly Beach on North Captiva Island
Relax and enjoy this unique piece of island paradise from our spacious, custom designed, luxury home just one minute walk from the beach. With 2,000 square feet of fully furnished indoor living space, 1,500 square feet of fully furnished and screen enclosed outdoor living space across 3 levels, 360 degree views of the beach and the inlet from the 4th floor observation deck, and a resort inspired 2,500 square foot privacy-gated pool and jacuzzi deck, you will have room for everyone in your party to relax and enjoy everything that North Captiva has to offer.
Top of the line furnishings, engineered wood floors, custom molded showers and all en-suite baths, are just some of the amenities at Butterfly Beach. A large, fully stocked gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, custom quartz counter tops, breakfast bar and open floor plan will please the gourmet cook. Copper Core Cookware and Stainless Steel Knives, as well as Vitamix Blender, Coffee Makers, Insta-Pot, KitchenAid Mixer, Keurig coffee machine, Immersion Blender, Electric Griddle and many other appliances and tools ensure you can cook all your favorite meals without missing anything.
Four spacious bedrooms, four full baths, complete with 1 king, 2 queens, 4 twins, sleeps up to 10 people very comfortably. Custom décor from local artists and tasteful decorations ensure this island escape feels like home the moment you walk in.
While staying at Butterfly Beach, we invite you to spend your days floating around the private pool with Sun shelf, soaking in the 10 person spa, or sunbathing and playing on the large pool deck. If you are looking for something a little more competitive and active to pass the time, then challenge your friends and family in our Game Room with a 7 foot Pool Table, Tournament Grade Aluminum Ping Pong Table, 9 foot Shuffleboard Table, regulation sized Corn hole boards and Ring Toss Game - the possibilities are endless. Don't worry if your gaming sessions stretch into the evening hours as the entire game room is enclosed in Super Fine mesh screens to make sure your tournaments are not interrupted by unwelcome mosquitos or pests. After your games, lounge around in our large downstairs seating area and spend the night talking, laughing, and enjoying the sounds of the island.
If your adventures take you to the Beach, use our top of the line beach gear to make sure you are never bored. The house has 10 reclining beach chairs, 2 beach umbrellas, and a host of beach games including Corn Hole, Bocce Ball, Ring Toss, and more.

About the host
Hosted by Tollie & Vanessa Justice

Hi! I am Tollie and my wife is Vanessa. We currently live in the Palm Beach area, on the east coast of Florida. Both my wife and I are Native Floridians, and have known each other since High School.
We love to travel, explore, and visit new places with our 2 daughters, age 8 and 6, and our son, age 1. We also really enjoy lazy days by the beach and getting away from it all.
Using Vacation Rentals is our favorite way to travel and see new places, and we are very exited to be able to share our special corner of the world with the Vacation Rental community.

Why they chose this property
So, my family originally bought a house on North Captiva Island back in 1977, and in fact my parents still live in that house full time today.
Some of my earliest memories involve Golf Carts, White Sand Beaches, and Fishing Trips in the grass flats that surrounding the island. North Captiva quickly became a sanctuary for me and my family, and our favorite place to disconnect from the rest of the world.
Because of the unique nature and geography of the island, it has remained separated from the other Lee County Barrier Islands like Sanibel and Captiva, and only accessible by Boat. Despite that, the population of the island has driven it to get almost all of the comforts of home, and this is what contributes to North Captiva's distinct feel. You feel completely disconnected and isolated from the stress of the world, but you are not "Roughing It" in order to do so.
As my wife and I have grown, her first trip out to the island was at 16 with my family and I, we have come to realize that North Captiva is a great place for any group, of any size, who wants to get away. From big family get-togethers, playing board games, cards, and watching movies into the night, to romantic weekend getaways with my wife, and moonlit strolls down the secluded beach, North Captiva trips always had exactly what we were looking for.
In the end, we have come to look at North Captiva, and our home there, as our own little slice of paradise, and are excited to be able to share this with others looking for a truly unique "Private Island" experience without having to travel out into the middle of nowhere to get it. We Hope you will come stay at our house, and see what makes this little Island so special.

What makes this property unique
My wife Vanessa and I really want to make our property a "Home Away From Home", for ourselves, and anyone who would like to come and stay. To us, this means adding all of the comforts of home, as well as everything you didn't even know you wanted, but love to use.
From Pots, Pans, Utensils, and Appliances, to Linens, Sheets and Beach Towels, we want our guest to instantly feel like they are at their own house in a different location.
We also really want the House to be fun and have done major updates to the house to do so. From the Private Pool and Spa to the Screen Enclosed Downstairs Gaming Area with Pool Table, Ping Pong Table, 9' Shuffle Board Table, and Sitting Area, we want people to love staying here and spending the days playing in the sun.
One of the things we hate when traveling is the unexpected costs and disconnected ownership, so we really want to be a property that eliminates those things. From having items on site, that normally take additional rental dollars, like a 12' Stand Up Paddle board or fishing rods, to coordinating with guests to ensure they know all of the "Local Tricks" to keeping transportation costs down, we want to help out guests maximize their stay.
Also, with parents and family friends that live on the island, we have the unique capability to be very reactive to any issues that our guests may encounter.
In all, we want every guest at our house to love North Captiva the same way we do, and look forward to making that a reality. We welcome you to come stay at Butterfly Breeze, and fall in love with our home and the Island, and we look forward to talking with you soon.
