Vacation Rental Description

                North Captiva Island, Florida
                NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND
Thank you for inquiring about "Winterhaven" bounded by the Gulf of
Mexico on one side and Pine Island Sound on the other.  We are on a
barrier island just west of Fort Myers, Florida.  We're 500 acres of
state wildlife preserve ...  offering  world  renown shelling, 
subtropical  foliage  and trees, a look  at  over  100 species  of
migrating nesting birds as well as endangered  marine life.   
Dolphins
and manatee play off our shores on this private island.  We have
neither public boat docks or public facilities.  There are no bridges
to connect us to the mainland.  We are a vanishing breed, one of the
last true out islands in the United States.  We have 4 miles of the
most beautiful, serene    beaches to be found anywhere on this earth.
                  THE WINTERHAVEN
Just seconds from the beach, our fully-furnished  home  offers unique
inverted style living.  The first floor, set on top of 10 foot 
pilings
has 2 bedrooms, 2 screened-in porches and 2 baths.  On the second
floor you will find a spacious living and dining area with cathedral
ceiling.  An entire wall made up of sliding glass doors and windows
facing the Gulf not only  gives  you  a spectacular  view  of the
water and those beautiful  sunsets  but also allows access to an
expansive sun deck.

electric  golf  cart.  Of course, you can always use  the  oldest 
form
of transportation - foot power.
