Tiki Bar, 4 Decks w/Views, Private Pool, Hot Tub | House in North Captiva
3 Bedroom House in North Captiva
Turquoise water skips beneath you, music on the breeze, as the ferry pulls into the dock at North Captiva Island. Your island management team is waiting - and before you know it, you're zipping off to discover everything Tipsy Turtle has in store: a swim-up tiki bar, heated pool & hot tub, 360° rooftop views, two golf carts, an elevator, beach gear, hammocks, and four sun-soaked decks. Congratulations - you've found one of the best teams and finest properties on this idyllic little island.
NEW TO NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND? Here's what makes it unforgettable:
North Captiva is one of Florida's last truly unspoiled barrier islands — no roads, no bridges, no drive-up convenience. That's exactly what makes it so magical, and a little planning goes a long way.
Getting here: Guests arrive by ferry, chartered boat, private boat, or small private aircraft. The journey across the water is the first signal that you've left the ordinary world behind. Our property management team meets you at the dock and escorts you to Tipsy Turtle by golf cart - two 4-person golf carts are included with your rental for the week.
Provisioning: There are no major grocery stores on the island. Guests shop on the mainland before boarding the ferry or choose a personal grocery shopper who will have everything waiting for you. It takes a bit of planning, but it's worth it because when you arrive, you can just have fun!
We've got you covered: Once your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive our Digital Guidebook — a step-by-step resource that walks you through planning logistics, our recommended companies, the property's amenities, and island activities. And any time you have questions, Molly and our property manager Kale are always happy to help. -Hosted by Cowboys & Mermaids Vacation Rentals
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY
Outdoor Details: The Thirsty Turtle Bar is the heart of it all. There is nothing else like it on NCI — a swim-up tiki bar and you don’t have to fight the crowds! Belly-up to the bartop, in the heated pool, as you’re handed a freshly blended tropical drink. The music is playing. The group has gathered. Nowhere to be, and no reason to leave.
The pool and hot tub run 24 hours a day and no one’s going to tell you your swim session is over. Outdoor dining for 8, a Weber grill, and an outdoor shower round out the lower deck. Two hammocks, cornhole, beach chairs, umbrella, and a cooler round it all out.
Bedroom/Bath/Deck Details: The home sleeps 8 across three thoughtfully designed spaces. The main-floor bedroom has a queen bed and set of bunk beds and sits conveniently beside the kitchen and a 3/4 bath - ideal for guests who prefer everything on one level. Upstairs, the primary suite features a king bed, a stunning custom bathroom with ample counter space and a double-headed shower, and direct access to a private deck. The second upstairs bedroom offers a queen bed plus a set of bunk beds, an attached full bath, and its own private deck with a spiral staircase that leads straight up to the crow's nest.
Kitchen Details: The open concept kitchen is built for real cooking: A full suite of pots, pans, and bakeware. Drip and Keurig coffee makers, blender, crockpot, griddle, toaster, and reverse osmosis water at the tap. A dining table for 8 with additional spots at the bar stools.
Inside Living: Smart TVs with Roku in the living room and primary suite. Starlink WiFi throughout. Families with little ones will find a pack-n-play, high chair, and a baby gate available. An elevator connects the ground level to the main floor for guests with limited mobility and for luggage. Everything is already here — you just show up.
LOCATION & WHAT'S NEARBY
North Captiva Island is its own world — miles of sandy beaches and tropical vegetation, no roads, no cars, no crowds and no highrise hotels. Your golf cart and bikes are the only transportation you'll need.
BEACH: Your members-only beach access (Captiva Castaway)puts you steps from some of the Gulf's most pristine shoreline: warm, calm water, soft white sand, and shelling that has guests filling bags with whelks, conchs, and sand dollars. Dolphins appear regularly just offshore — early morning walks on the beach often come with a show.
NATURE: Tipsy Turtle is located within the island's sheltered interior which offers something the exposed ocean-front properties can't: the hush of lush tropical canopy, gentle breezes, birdsong, and the kind of quiet that reminds you why you needed this retreat. Zoom off to the 600 acre nature preserve for more nature or head to the docks and beaches to spot manatees and dolphins!
WATER ADVENTURE: Pine Island Sound has some of Southwest Florida's most productive fishing waters — snook, redfish, and tarpon are prized catches. Kayaking and paddleboarding through the mangrove-lined backwaters is a peaceful alternative to the open beach.
BOATING EXCURSIONS: For guests who want to explore the surrounding barrier islands, Boats and Fun on North Captiva rents private vessels for day excursions or, we can recommend a private captain. And at the end of every adventure, Tipsy Turtle is right where you left it — tiki bar ready, hammocks swaying, pool ready for a float.
RESTAURANTS/PUBLIC POOL/SHOPS: Hop on a golf cart - you're only 8 min (or less) from these island establishments: Barnacles/Mainstay - enjoy cold drinks, fresh seafood, and Old Florida charm. Over The Waterfront offers an intimate dinner experience on the water, with delicious food and views of Safety Harbor (reservations required). Mango's Bar & Grill at the Island Club keeps it casual with poolside bites. Make an afternoon of it and enjoy their public pool. The Island Market rounds things out with coffee, ice cream, grab-and-go items, and island gifts.
WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR
Families with kids — Tipsy Turtle was designed with families in mind. The pool is fenced, heated, and has a shallow toddler-splashing section. The bunk beds are always a hit, and the world-class shelling keeps kids busy for hours. Pack-n-play, high chair, and baby gates are already here.
Multi-generational families — The elevator, main-floor bedroom, and multiple living spaces make it easy for every generation to be comfortable. Grandparents and grandkids under the same roof, with plenty of room to spread out.
