North Captiva Point House - Boat/Water Taxi Only **NEWLY RENOVATED **

****This property can only be accessed by boat or water taxi.****

The North Captiva Point House was built by Barnacle Phil and his wife Roberta Kinsey, in 1981. A true classic Florida beach house, it features great room with full kitchen, separate 'bunk house' and wide porches on all sides. Standing on a private peninsula at the entrance to Safety Harbor, every direction offers a spectacular view of the harbor, Pine Island Sound, Captiva Pass and beyond. Views to the east offer the rising sun or moon in breathtaking vistas. White sandy beaches skirt the buttonwoood and sea grape grove that surrounds the house. A private, protected deep water dock provides boats a safe berth. Outstanding fishing, birding and swimming are a given. In the still of the night, dolphin can be heard 'breathing' as they round the point in search of mullet, snapper and other food.

There simply is nothing else like it.

This property can only be accessed by boat or water taxi. The property does not come with a golf cart.
During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from North Captiva Island Beach. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the holiday home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and balcony
  • Free WiFi
  • Steps from North Captiva Island Beach

So relaxing!
Thank you for sharing your property with us! We had magnificent views—- including a full double rainbow 😍 the space was comfortable and clean and perfect for a long weekend getaway. We were able to easily access our boat to spend time on Cayo costa, lunch on cabbage key and a dip in the pool at the N. Captiva club. We didn’t need to use the bunk house, but would be perfect if we brought the kids! Thank you!!

Private Point
Our stay with family here was wonderful. The home is beautifully decorated and extremely well equipped. The 360 degree water views were amazing, the beach was huge and private. Our boys loved the “separate” bunk/kids house and my husband greatly appreciated the deep water dock for the boat. We will definitely be back.

Great Location
The property has wonderful views from the wrap around deck and having a dock for our boat was definitely a plus. I would say that not having an actual bedroom and somewhere to hang your clothes was a little inconvenient. Just know that this property does not offer a golf cart and the rentals were too pricey. I didn't notice that when I booked it. Other than that we had a good time.

The Point House exceeded our expectations in all ways. It was spotless, great kitchen, fabulous beds and pillows. But the deck was the best! To be surrounded by water was a dream, watching the boats go by was fun… but the best part was seeing and hearing the dolphins!!! I cannot wait to get back!

Beautiful and relaxing. The lock box to get the key was impossible to open. Tons of boat traffic
Fun nice, the remodel is great. You should inform people that it is so close to the harbor boat traffic. Some of the boats blast very loud music and they pass 20 feet from the house.

Paradise found!
OMG, this place is a dream come true. Every glance at every angle offers a panoramic view of dolphins and manatees frolicking in their natural habitat. It’s like living in a Natural Geographic documentary in a wonderfully appointed beach cottage. We booked our next vacation at this gem before we even left our first trip…. I almost don’t want to brag any more about this place so it doesn’t sell out…. Enjoy the island and don’t forget to reserve a golf cart with Sun and Fun!

Solitude
If you're looking for panoramic views, and an absolutely fabulous fishing scenario...book it! 4 grown men, 150+ lbs of food, drink, and fishing gear made for one spectacular week. Grouper/Snook/Sheepshead were abound and they local wildlife enjoyed us, as much as we did them. If taking family or and friends, be sure it's a close knit bunch. One bathroom is challenging for more than 4 or 5, but it's a minor inconvenience. Great spot and the renovations were well received. Very likely to go again. Don't go to N Captiva looking for nightlife. Go for relaxation!!!

Would never stay anywhere else
I love the point house. The inside was recently all remodeled.. I had reserved this place before the remodel, even after reading some negative reviews, because I wasn’t interested in the inside of the house just the outside and where it was located. Some people talked about seeing a couple bugs, it’s southern Florida what does anyone expect? LOL. Which by the way I did not see any bugs during my time there. Anyhow, this house is wonderful it has the old style Florida look on the outside which I personally love, in the inside is remodeled modern rustic barn style. This house sits on the peninsula point on the island and is the only house with this location on the whole island. We had our own private dock, we did not bring a boat but the dock worked great for fishing off of, jumping off and swimming, and stargazing. Not to mention the manatees and dolphins that swim around. Watching the sunrise when you are standing on the point is phenomenal. When you wake up and in the evening , you have a surround view of the sea. Beautiful. Ashton was easy to communicate with responded quickly and was a wonderful host. The barnacles bartenders were the best!! I would hope that the structure of the house stays the same and is never replaced. The history of the house is also intriguing, nostalgic, romantic. The negatives? We did ask a couple people that decided to Dock boat on the beach on the private property that surrounds us. They were walking around on the property and told them to go and they did.. The historic Fishhouse that sits alone in the water made a beautiful backdrop, you can sit on the porch and watch the boats that come around to fish underneath it and see what they are catching. One of the people in my group said that whoever was in the Fishhouse let their dogs poop on our property. Which I did personally not see but if I would’ve been walking in the morning and stepped in it, I would’ve come unglued. So that was totally ignorant. My only suggestion would be for the house to provide a golf cart like the others. Because if you do want one to travel with it is an additional expense to rent one. I would never rent anywhere else on this island but the Pointhouse.

Rustic or Rundown? Definitely Rundown
We arrived at check in time to find a property that was not ready yet. No one was around, but there was plenty of trash and towels. When I tried to contact the property manager listed on the confirmation email she informed me that she had not managed the listing for 8 months or more. She gave me the current managers phone number. Ashton was super nice and explained that the cleaning lady was held up. When the cleaning lady showed up she was very angry and frankly rude. She said the other guests had trashed the place. Not really sure how this was my fault, but oh well. We were prepared for rustic, but not rundown. Duct taped carpet, a thermostat you cannot control, sulfur smelling water and a stove that has no markings or temperature control are just a few of the highlights. The bugs were amazing too- don't turn the light on between the beds or a swarm comes out! Let's finish with the bad- Sandy made herself known throughout our visit. Including stopping by to ask when we would be leaving on our final day. We left an hour before check in and had the magnificent view of Sandy with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth stripping the beds as we pulled away. She has quite a reputation on the island! The trash she complained of the previous renters throwing in the bushes never did get picked up- well, I picked some of it up because I didn't want to look at it all week. The good part- amazing location! We watched Dolphins and Manatees play under the dock, kayaked to the sandbar and watched boats go by, caught a fish off the dock, saw sea stars and urchins and collected shells. Frankly, I wouldn't recommend renting this place. It is not like it is a private beach so you can see all the wildlife you want and not stay in a hovel. Don't believe the "rustic fishcamp" line!
