About this property

Private BEACHFRONT Point - Dolphins, Sunsets & Golf Cart Included/North Captiva!

Rated 9.8/10 by 182 guests — one of the highest-rated beachfront rentals on North Captiva Island.

THE SPACE

Rainbow's End sits on a rare private beachfront point at the northern tip of North Captiva Island — a spot so secluded it has its own name: Rum Point. With the turquoise Gulf of Mexico just 10 steps from your door and 4 acres of untouched tropical land behind you, this is the most private and peaceful beachfront on the island. There are no neighbors in your sightline. No road noise. Just the sound of waves, the rustle of palm fronds, and dolphins passing by most mornings.

The home sleeps 7 comfortably across 2 bedrooms, with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, free WiFi, and air conditioning. Every room has been maintained to the same standard our guests have come to expect — and come back for.

THE BEACH

Step off the back deck and you are in the Gulf of Mexico. No walk down the street, no public beach access to share — just your private stretch of pristine white sand and warm, clear water, whenever you want it. The western exposure at Rum Point delivers what guests consistently call the best sunsets on the island: the sky turns every shade of orange and pink right in front of your dinner table.

Watch dolphins swim along the shoreline from the porch — this happens on most days and never gets old.

YOUR GOLF CART IS INCLUDED

North Captiva has no cars — just lush sandy trails and golf carts. Yours is waiting at the dock when you arrive. A relaxed 5-minute ride brings you straight to Rainbow's End, and from there the whole island is yours to explore at your own pace. Use it to find a quiet beach on the other side of the island, grab a drink at the pool bar, or simply cruise the trails as the sun goes down.

THE ISLAND

North Captiva is a true offshore island — accessible only by boat or small plane. No cars, no chain hotels, no traffic lights. Around 300 homeowners. Miles of untouched beach. Over 600 acres of Federal Wildlife Preserve with hiking trails, exotic birds, and complete solitude whenever you want it.

When you do want company, the island delivers:

Pool bar and grill
Marina restaurant
Guided fishing and boating tours
Boat rentals and kayak tours
Small convenience store
Grocery delivery to the dock
Daily island-hopping and dolphin-watching tour boats

GETTING HERE

Ferries depart from Pine Island throughout the day — it's a 20-minute crossing. You can also fly in by small plane. Once you land, your golf cart is waiting. First-time visitors often say the ferry ride itself feels like the start of something different. They're right.

We recommend stocking up on groceries before you board, or pre-ordering a grocery delivery to arrive when you do. The island has a small market, but part of the magic is having everything you need and nowhere you have to be.

GOOD TO KNOW

Sleeps 7 · 2 bedrooms · 2+ bathrooms · 1,200 sq ft
Golf cart included for the duration of your stay
Private beachfront — no public access nearby
Full kitchen, free WiFi, A/C, washer and dryer
Ferry departs from Pine Island (approx. 20 min)
Peak season: January through April — book early

ONE LAST THING

The most common thing our guests say when they leave? That the week ended too soon. We hear it every time. Book early — Rainbows End fills up fast, and once you've been, you'll understand why guests keep coming back year after year.

The house was very nice and very clean. Boards on deck need repaired at top of steps (tripping hazard). Golf cart had no breaks steering was terrible, no head lights. Screen door was hanging by one rusty hinge. Patio furniture needed a good cleaning. Air Conditioning went out 2nd night we were there. Electrical outlets in bedroom with 2 beds, were broke and loose in the sockets. Host was great about getting back with us in a timely manor. (Duncan and Lori) both great! Views were amazing right on the beach and would definitely rent again if some up grades were made.

Great location, right on the beach, very private,just an occasional shell collector walking by. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen but sparse spices, no condiments.No cars on island, everyone has a golf cart. The one with this house was in need of repairs though useable for daytime.No real market on island, therefore lug all your groceries on the ferry or engage one of the wildly expensive concierge shopper services. Only two bar grills open when we were there.Nice pool and hot tub open to public at Safety Harbor Club.

While we had a nice time. We would not return to this house. The house has great potential but it was not clean. I swept dark hair out of the corners of the bathroom, molded coffee grounds in the coffee maker, dirty grill and hundreds of dead fruit flies covering the counter. The golf cart was terrible. And we didn’t find any kayaks, hammock or beach chairs as the property shows in the listing. The beds were uncomfortable. However, the kitchen appliances were nice, the screened in porch was great. Location was fantastic. I was expecting “exceptional” per the reviews and it fell short. Definitely could get there. The property management was great and quick to respond when needed.

Perfect Location!!

Loved our stay. Will come back next year. Home nicely updated, we had everything we needed. Only cons were the golf cart needed some care and some screens missing on sun porch but the PROS definitely outweighed the cons.Thank you for letting us enjoy this relaxing home.

This location is great to get away and relax. It’s in the perfect spot to watch dolphins, manta rays, manatees, and even a sea turtle if you’re lucky. The property was clean and has everything available to make the stay as enjoyable as possible.

One of the best on the island!

This was our second time staying at this property and won’t be our last! This is the best part of the island in our opinion and we’ve stayed in numerous other properties. The upgrades are beautiful and everyone associated with the property are very nice, helpful and attentive. Great place for a getaway!
