If you are searching for an island vacation that is different from all others, then search no more for you have stumbled upon North Captiva Island. Accessible only by boat, scheduled ferry, small airplane or helicopter, transportation on its sand roads is by golf cart, (one is included with the house), bicycle or on foot. Miles of pristine beaches, mangroves and a natural preserve comprise this mostly undeveloped island where swimming, sunbathing, boating, shelling, skiing, hiking, kayaking, bicycling, bird and wildlife watching are but a few of the preferred activities.

Sol Mar is a family-owned home and we want you to enjoy the same wonderful experience as when we are on the island. Our philosophy is, “Mi Casa, tu casa” (My home is your home). Our unique island home is 75 steps from the beach with spectacular panoramic views.

Surrounded by 4 distinct bodies of water, the Gulf, Pine Island Sound, Captiva Pass and Red Fish Pass, North Captiva Island offers world class fishing both from its shores and just offshore. Manatees, dolphins, sea turtles and the occasional sea otters are daily visitors to our island. Ospreys, eagles and gopher tortoises are year-round residents. Our island is a short boat ride to the nearby islands of Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo Costa and Cabbage Key of Jimmy Buffett’s “Hamburger in Paradise” fame.

Included in your rental fee is access to North Captiva Island Club with its large, heated pool and outdoor bar and restaurant. Guests can check-out kayaks on a complementary basis. (based on availability).

The main level of the house (which is elevated to 23 ft.), offers breathtaking bird’s eye view of the Gulf of Mexico, Pine Island Sound, the Salty Approach Airstrip. The lanai is the perfect place to enjoy the sunsets and sunrise, read a book, create island arts and crafts, take a nap or simply do nothing at all. Since the house is adjacent to the island’s private airstrip, watching small airplanes and helicopters land, take off and taxi down the runway is a thrill that you will not soon forget.

The fully equipped kitchen is located on this level so you can enjoy the amazing views while preparing meals. The dining room table is made of distressed wood. Here you will enjoy countless hours dining or playing games with the family. The main level has a full bathroom complete with a shower and tub for ease of bathing little ones or enjoying a soak. Two bedrooms are also located on this floor: one room has a queen size bed and an entrance foyer that can be closed to allow this bedroom to become the second master suite. The other bedroom has a full futon and 2 twin beds. Both rooms are tastefully decorated and are the perfect place to rest after a day at the beach.

On the second level of the house is the master bedroom retreat complete with two private balconies. The “Sunrise Balcony” offers views of the sun as it rises over Pine Island Sound to the east. From the comfort of the outdoor bed, you can also gaze at the Milky Way and all the wonders that the night sky has to offer. Shooting stars and a meteor shower or two are not an uncommon occurrence. From the “Sunset Balcony” you will enjoy the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico, views of Cayo Costa and so much more.
