LUNAR TIDES – PRIVATE POOL

Your dream vacation to an island paradise is just a few clicks away!

Lunar Tides is located on the barrier island of North Captiva just off the coast of Southwest Florida. This island is ONLY accessible via boat or private single engine plane that lands on a grass runway open to the water on both ends!

Once you step foot on the boat (or plane!) you are on island time! You will be reminded of old Florida with the laid-back simplicity on the island and think you are in the Caribbean with the beautiful turquoise waters!

North Captiva is home to four miles of pristine white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound. Even on the busiest of weeks, you will feel like you are on your own private island. Hop on your golf cart and set out to explore! The only transportation on the island is electric golf carts and bicycles!

Explore Florida’s untouched wilderness! North Captiva is home to 350 acres of Nature Preserve that lead you South to the most private of beaches and a handful of fully off the grid homes. Here you will find Gopher tortoises, bobcats, coyotes, a variety of snakes (non-venomous!), racoons, birds and so much more.

Florida is known as the fishing capital of the world and whether it is by boat or surf fishing your catch will be plentiful! North Captiva is a great night spot for shark and snook fishing and just a short boat ride to Boca Grande Pass which is the Tarpon Capital of the World! People come from around the world to Tarpon fish right here in our backyard! Redfish, snapper, triple tail, and grouper are just a few of the other popular fish located in our pristine waters.

North Captiva is home to four restaurants; Mainstay and Barnacles bar, Mangos, Over the Waterfront and The Boathouse, all with their own style but guaranteed to offer a great time!

Once you arrive on island, our property manager will meet you at the dock to assist you and your guests with luggage to the house. You won’t have to lift a finger as they will load everything onto golf carts and bring everything inside the house.

Grocery stocking services are available prior to and during your stay. Imagine arriving to a pre-stocked kitchen with cold drinks ready to head to the beach!

Lunar Tides offers its own tropical paradise with lush landscaping surrounding the house and even features a gorgeous tropical oasis in the backyard as the house sits on a double lot!

Lunar Tides features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with sleeping arrangements for 6 people.
The king master suite situated on the West side of the house offers privacy from the other guest rooms, a walk-in shower with a dual sink vanity and Roku tv.

The two guest rooms located across the house share a bathroom with tub/shower combo and single vanity. The first of two guest rooms offer a king size bed. The second of the two guest rooms are a great spot for kids with two twin beds, books, puzzles and games galore!

The large open kitchen is great for entertaining and enjoying the company of friends and family while preparing meals. It boasts gorgeous walnut finished cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, under cabinet lighting, crown molding, all the necessary kitchen gadgets, and small appliances as well as whole house reverse osmosis! Whole house reverse osmosis means no need to lug heavy water from the mainland and the refrigerator offers cold filtered water!

The dining table seats four and the breakfast bar offers additional seating for four. The living room is open to the dining room and kitchen area and features plenty of seating for everyone whether it be relaxing on the couch, chairs or at the adorable writing desk! The living room also offers a Roku tv for streaming of whatever you prefer.

Need internet? No problem! Lunar Tides has the best available internet and Wi-Fi on the island so no worries if you want to watch tv while someone else has a Zoom meeting.

Both the front and back porch have wide open decks with additional seating. Want to enjoy the cooler morning sun? Take a seat out back while watching the Gopher tortoises eat in the back yard. Too hot in the afternoon? No problem, the front porch is a beautiful shady spot with overhead ceiling fans. Here you will also find the electric grill. No need to stress about running low on propane or fussing with lighting charcoal.

Lunar Tides comes with a North Captiva Island Club membership which allows use of the facilities two pools, hot tub, tennis courts, basketball hoop, kayaks, paddle boards, and bikes!

Whether you want to kick back on the porch and read a book, head to the beach, collect shells, take a bike ride through the nature preserve, kayak the canals and harbor in search of manatees or explore the island by golf cart, the possibilities are endless.

Sit back, relax, leave the stress of day-to-day life behind on the mainland and come enjoy a little island time at Lunar Tides!

HERE COMES THE FUN

Here Comes The Fun is a  single story 3-bedroom, 3 bathroom home. Finished in early 2020 and was built on 2.5 lots or on one half acre of sand with 150 palm trees. Its location is only a 3.5-minute walk on a white sand path-like road past just 4 houses to the largest beach on the island. There is public access and golf cart parking available there- and that isn’t always the case on the other streets.

The home was built for me as my winter home and is finished with all of the best necessities you will need to vacation well. The great room is large and has a 15 ft high ceiling loaded with dimmable LED lights. The kitchen has all new KitchenAid appliances. An extra-large refrigerator has water and ice in the door and there is a separate clear ice machine. Included is a glass built in cooktop with a separate under counter oven, dishwasher, a large microwave oven, and an oversized kitchen sink with a hands-free faucet.

The glass door kitchen cabinets are full of all the plates, cups, and bowls that you can see and find. All the other kitchen inventory that you would expect to find in a fine home is all there. The granite countertops include bar seating with 4 stools.

Next to the kitchen is a large dinner table that could seat 10 people. Over the table is a 65” high end TV streaming YouTube TV. We have the most robust internet connection that you can buy on this island, so all internet needs are met.

A comfortable seating area overlooks the front porch and also contains a 65” TV. A wall of large glass doors slides open to join the screened front porch to the great room. The spacious front porch holds a table and 6 chairs, perfect for outdoor dining. There is also a rear deck off of the kitchen.

To the left of the great room is the master with a king size bed. The mattress is from Casper and the bedding is all high thread count quality cotton. The master bath has a separate toilet room and a large doorless walk-in shower.

A large beveled glass mirror is built in over the granite sink top. The shower and floors are all marble and is perfectly done. All the shower heads come equipped with a handheld sprayer. All of the closets have nice built-in shelves for folded clothes as well as a stand for luggage. A pair of large glass sliding doors lead to the rear deck. These sliders, and all sliders in the house, are covered by unique sliding black-out blinds. All bedrooms have their own 55-inch wall-mounted TV and special high intensity reading lights, perfect for reading a book.

To the right of the great room is the linen closet stocked with plenty of towels in the hallway that leads to two guest bedrooms. These queen bedrooms are identical in size and have an identical look, so no one ever gets a lesser bedroom. Both rooms lead to a deck, either front or rear. Each room has its own marble walk-in shower with fancy marble tile floors. Each has all of the same features as the master bedroom; including: built-ins in closets, reading lights, dimmable LED ceiling lights, and ceiling fans.

Under the home is a large deck that includes an under-roof circular driveway with golf cart parking, a simple bar and extra table and seating, as well as a propane Weber grill. Attached is another deck, that contains a 26×12 heated swimming pool that is regularly serviced twice weekly. The pool itself is located on a separate lot so that the house could never block the sun from the pool or deck surround both winter and summer.

The whole house was built with extra-large windows and every door and window has a privacy blind. You will also notice that the house has an incredible amount of trim work like crown molding, chair rails, etc. for your enjoyment. The home was completely top, bottom, and all outside walls spray foamed with insulation, which keeps it cooler and very separate from outside noise. The interior walls are full of soundproofing insulation for further convenience and privacy.

The house has an expensive reverse osmosis whole house water system, which makes perfect water at every outlet. No Florida water smell and no plastic bottles need to come to the island for drinking as this water is the same quality as bottled water.

The entire house has tile floors with accent rugs in each room and the washer/dryer are just off the great room. A standard 4-seater golf cart is included and there is a brand new 2021 6-seater club car available for an additional fee.
Come enjoy this unique off-shore island experience.

PALOMA BEACH HOUSE

Welcome to your 4 level, 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath ISLAND PARADISE!

Towering in the coconut palms of North Captiva, the Paloma Beach House will serve as your own island resort. From your private ‘Crow’s Nest’ high above the treetops, you will be surrounded by breathtaking views of both the gulf and the bay. Add to that your own ground level, heated pool – with its spirited poolside Tiki bar – and you have everything you need for a resort-style life unique even to North Captiva Island.

As you approach your island vacation home, you will be greeted by a private tropical setting, and your own 1st level pool. Head to your own island-style Tiki bar, for your first blended tropical refreshment. Envision fresh grouper or red snapper on your own grill, next to your heated pool. Or picture yourself rinsing away the island salt and sand in your own poolside, outdoor shower.

Stepping into the Paloma Beach House will bring you to the recently remodeled and refurnished bedroom level – situated one level down from the expansive great room, dining area, and scenic tree-top vistas. In all levels of this island home, you will be taken away by the fresh Boho beach styling – as well as the vaulted wood ceilings and Florida Cyprus beams found on the great room level.

Each of the four bedrooms on the entry level enjoys new cooling memory foam beds, luxury bedding, and stylish furniture. The master suite (with its ensuite master bath) boasts a king bed – as well as its own attached screened porch, where you can enjoy your morning coffee and pastry in the two swinging chairs.

The additional 3 bedrooms offer a king bed, a queen bed, and a bunk bed (with a full bed on the bottom, and a half-bed on the top). And the shared full bath separating the three bedrooms completes the sleeping and living accommodations for even large families or groups.

One level up bring you to the well-appointed great room, kitchen and dining area – along with a newly remodeled half-bath powder room. Open the expansive glass doors for breakfast or dinner on your large screen porch. Or head up the spiral staircase from the porch to the ‘Crow’s nest” — one of the highest points on the island. Enjoy the views and sunsets that will take your breath away!

Paloma Beach House is located on the quieter side of North Captiva Island – close to the best sunset viewing, dolphin watching, and fishing the island has to offer. And the golf cart included with your Paloma Beach House makes all of North Captiva yours to enjoy

For a more domestic break, take in Barnacles — one of the island’s best bars, where the locals congregate around the outdoor tiki hut for great food and drinks.

The Paloma Beach House and North Captiva Island have it all. Come and enjoy!

Enjoy the world’s best Tarpon and Snook fishing. Fire up the barbecue and cook your catch under the stars, or enjoy one of the island’s fine restaurants.

Exploring is a favorite past time. Try the nearby island of Cayo Costa, have lunch at Cabbage Key (a turn-of-the-century hotel, think “Cheeseburger in Paradise”), or shop on Sanibel or Boca Grande. FIND YOUR OWN PERSONAL BIT OF PARADISE.

Experience a vacation where island beauty and relaxation will surround you, where lazing in the hammock under the palms, or toasting the magnificent sunsets will awaken and revitalize you.
