Captiva Vacation Rental By Owner 1BR Beachfront South Seas in Captiva Island

Luxury one bedroom Gulf of Mexico beachfront vacation rental condo at
South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island, Florida has instant and
direct access to one of the best beaches on the Gulf Coast of
Florida.

Captiva is a tropical barrier island located off the Gulf Coast near
Fort Myers, Florida that is connected to the western tip of its
larger neighbor, Sanibel Island.

Getting to Sanibel and Captiva Islands is easy. Our beachfront
Captiva vacation villa is a pleasant 55 minute drive from Southwest
Florida International Airport (airport code RSW). From the airport
take Daniels Parkway. If traveling by car on Interstate 75, take exit
231 to the right, which is Daniels Parkway. Follow the Sanibel and
Captiva beach signs to Summerlin Road. Turn left onto Summerlin.
Follow Summerlin to the Causeway, then on to Sanibel and
Captiva Island.

Enjoy the scenic ride along Captiva Drive from Turner Beach past
private beachfront estate homes and past the 4-way stop in Captiva
Village, until you reach the gated entrance of South Seas Island
Resort, formerly known as South Seas Plantation. Unlike Naples, Marco
Island, Siesta Key, or most of the Barrier Islands on the Florida
Gulf Coast, you won't find any high rises here. The Resort is a
330 acre beach lover's paradise that occupies the northern third of
Captiva Island. Here you'll find 2.5 miles of unspoiled beach and
spectacular day-ending sunsets right outside you?re your condo door.
While the beach on Captiva is open to the public, public beach access
and parking is limited to Turner Beach at the South end of Captiva
Island, near Sanibel, and the beach at the end of Captiva Drive.
Therefore, the beach within South Seas Island Resort is not
crowded.

Our condo is more than just a vacation rental. It is our personal
beachfront vacation home that has been completely redecorated and
refurnished. You'll find most of the comforts of home, including a
new, fully appointed and equipped kitchen for guests who wish to dine
in, or who just want to enjoy the panoramic views of the Gulf of
Mexico from the dining area, living room, or screened lanai, while
sipping their favorite beverage.

The living room entertainment center houses a 27" Sony TV and Denon
stereo with a multi-disc DVD changer. It also contains a wide
selection of music CD's, several movie DVD's, and a small library of
books for your vacation enjoyment. Additionally, for a small fee,
guests can obtain a library card at the public library located in the
Village, and check out music CD's, DVD's and books. The bedroom has
new furniture, a comfortable king bed, Casablanca ceiling fan, and a
second remote cable TV with DVD player. It also has a walk-in closet
and adjoining walk-through bathroom. The queen sofa sleeper in the
living room provides additional sleeping accommodations for two.

Captiva Island is a special vacation and holiday destination for
discerning guests who value the Island's low-density, natural beauty,
casual lifestyle, and quiet anonymity.

Many of the Island's best restaurants and quaint shops, are located
in the "Village", a picturesque 3-block segment of Andy Rosse Lane,
which is a short, romantic walk long the beach or a few blocks by
road from South Seas gated entrance. Unless you make the 15 minute
drive to Sanibel or decide to take a day trip off Island, you may not
get back in the car until departure. Just remember where you put
the keys!

Whether your favorite Captiva vacation pastime is walking along the
beach in search of shells, playing in the warm waters of the Gulf of
Mexico, surf fishing, dining and listening to music in Captiva
Village, or just relaxing on the beach with a great book, a Captiva
beach vacation will create memories for a lifetime. If you are
considering a Florida beach vacation, we'd love to share our condo
with you. Please send us an email or give us a call to discuss how
our one bedroom villa, Jewel of Captiva, may fit your needs.
