About this property
Slip into island time the moment you arrive at Poppy’s Paradise
Slip into island time the moment you arrive at Poppy’s Paradise, a beautifully updated four-bedroom, four-bath vacation home tucked away on quiet Chapin Lane in the Village of Captiva Island. Just 400 feet from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf, this elevated coastal retreat offers private beach access and the rare luxury of being able to stroll to the island’s charming shops and restaurants whenever the mood strikes.
Step inside and feel the relaxed rhythm of island living. The main level opens into a bright, welcoming living space designed for gathering after long beach days. The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare anything from a quick breakfast before the beach to a leisurely family dinner. Just beyond, the newly upgraded screened porch creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or an evening meal in the warm tropical air.
With space for up to ten guests, the home offers comfort and privacy for everyone. Two spacious primary suites provide peaceful retreats, including one privately situated on the upper level with its own ensuite bath featuring a jetted tub and walk-in shower. The second primary suite is located on the main level with its own bath and generous storage space. A third bedroom with two full beds is paired with a nearby full bath, making it ideal for families or friends traveling together.
Downstairs, a separate entertainment level adds another layer of fun to your stay. Accessible via the back stairway, this private space features a game room with a ping pong table, pool table, seating area, flat-screen TV, refrigerator, and bar area for casual gatherings. A fourth bedroom with two twin beds and a private bathroom with walk-in shower is also located on this level, creating a great hideaway for teens or guests who appreciate extra privacy.
Outside, your own tropical oasis awaits. The spacious patio and pool area are designed for relaxation, surrounded by lush greenery that provides a sense of seclusion. Lounge chairs invite you to soak up the Florida sunshine, while the heated private pool and connected hot tub offer the perfect way to unwind after a day at the beach. A stainless steel gas grill nearby makes outdoor dining easy, whether you are preparing fresh seafood or a simple island barbecue. For families traveling with young children, a portable child safety fence is available and can be placed around the pool area for added peace of mind.
Inside the home you will find thoughtful amenities throughout, including five flat-screen TVs, four DVD players, a CD player, beach towels, washer and dryer, garage parking, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
One of the most beloved features of Poppy’s Paradise is its location. From here you can easily walk to the beach for sunrise shelling, wander into the village for dinner, or explore the laid-back charm that makes Captiva Island such a special destination.
This home sleeps up to 10 guests and offers approximately 2,300 square feet of living space.

Thank you for being our guest. We are thankful that your stay was great. We would love to welcome you back anytime.

Beautiful house, close to beach, restaurants, shops. Nice pool and spa, well equipped kitchen. Just take note that the ground floor bedroom with twin beds is only accessed by an outside stairway. You probably wouldn’t want young children in there. We had a couple of “fix-it” matters that were taken care of the same day they were reported. We loved it all!
This is the perfect location for a family vacation on Captiva. 2 minute walk to the beach with private beach access, 5-10 minute walks to multiple shops and restaurants. The house is beautiful with plenty of room for larger groups. The pool is beautiful, clean, and very private (some pools on neighboring properties were visible from the street). Lots of activities for kids and adults. The host, Kevin, was fantastic and extremely kind. He went above and beyond to make sure our expectations were met. We already want to plan our next trip!

We had an excellent week at Poppy's. The accommodation were excellent the issue we had was quickly resolved. We enjoyed the many extras provided. Hope to be able to stay again. Thank you for a memorable vacation!!!
My family absolutely loved the spacious, gracious, well thought out amenities of this beautiful property. The walk to the beach is easy and the walks to the grocery store and restaurants are quick as well. We will definitely stay here again.
The 4 bedroom 4 bath property with pool and hot tub a few minutes walk to the beach was great for our family. This was the second year we rented. It is beautiful, well equipped house for a family vacation
We had the best time at this house! It was perfect for hosting two families. Everyone has their own space but plenty of areas to gather together. Great location, just a short walk to the beach. We will definitely return.

Great location near the beach. Plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas and carts to take to beach. Pool and pool table and ping pong a bonus. We’ll equipped kitchen and excellent bedroom accommodations
We had 2 families stay at Poppies Paradise and everyone had a great time. The beach is so close to walk back and forth to. It was very clean and comfortable. Thank you!

Thank you Michelle. It was a pleasure having you stay with us. We hope to see you again soon.

This property was perfect for our family vacation. The house is very well stocked including chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The pool was refreshing after getting back from the beach and the grill was perfect for making a family dinner. The pool and ping pong table were perfect for late night fun. We will definitely be back.
This house was well maintained and clean. The location was ideal. My grand daughter said this was the best house we have rented to celebrate our family Christmas. I will be booking for next year!
We loved the house and the location. Restaurants, groceries, and the beach were all less than a five minute walk. We had everything we needed. The owners are exceptionally easy to work with.

Thank you so much. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Can’t wait for your next visit!
We made many wonderful memories staying at Poppy’s Paradise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be back in a heartbeat. The house was clean and spacious. Our only complaint was the hot tub was the same temperature as the pool. Would recommend this home to any of our close friends or family!
