Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Denise Harrington

We are a family of 6 that lives up north in the Chicago area. We have visited North Captiva many times over the years and fell in love with it. It is quiet and peaceful and we can get away from it all here! We finally decided to own a piece of paradise.
Why they chose this property
We chose Captivation because it is big enough for our large family and for us to have others join us on the island when we visit. We just love the screened in pool area, the large living space, all of the decks to sit outside and enjoy the views. We love the location: proximity to the beach, NCIC club and pool, Mangos, and the preserve. We loved the 360 degree views of the island. Favorite time of day is grabbing some coffee and watching sunrise from the back deck while listening to all of the birds waking up.
What makes this property unique
Location and views! Privacy as well, we are in a quiet location on the island.
