Tranquility in North Captiva Island

From the moment you arrive, you'll find Tranquility to be a warm and comfortable luxury vacation home, with its welcoming clean and freshly decorated appearance. Unpack and begin exploring. Look for the guest book in the living room. It offers equipment operating instructions and services available to enhance your island experience.

Walk the stairs from the living room to the highest observation/captain;s watch on the island. You'll look with amazement at the Gulf of Mexico from above the treetops. The birds-eye view of North Captiva Island will captivate your heart and mind with its one-of-a kind vista. You'll love to watch the famous Island sunsets from the air-conditioned comfort of the Captain;s Watch.

Tranquility is newly finished in white for light, with four walls of windows to highlight the panoramic view of lush vegetation and bird activity. The home is built on three levels, with outdoor porches on the second and third levels. It has three bedrooms with king or twin size beds and colorfully coordinated bedding to pamper our guests. The three full bathrooms are also color coordinated and located on two of the living floors. Fully carpeted rooms and stairways lead you comfortably through the three living levels. Wall hangings reflect the island;s flora and fauna.

The kitchen is fully appointed with quality kitchenware and appliances, including a disposal, dishwasher and microwave oven. A Weber Kettle barbeque will add an outdoor dimension to your meals.

The living room has a large television with DVD, VHS and Dish TV Satellite channels. The

"surround sound" flashing carousel CD player, cassette tape, AM and FM receivers produce your favorite "tunes".

Your vacation home provides linens, beach towels, towels, paper towels, toilet paper and bathroom, dish & laundry soaps.

Tranquility's landscaping is designed to incorporate the island vegetation and to integrate the grounds with the look of the wildlife preserve.

The four-mile long gulf beach is a short two to three minute walk on your private road, directly connecting you to the beach. Beach walking, shelling and fishing are favorite Island activities. Seasonal species make shelling and fishing productive throughout the year. The island;s land turtles will fascinate you as they graze on the grasses and visit their tunnel homes on the Tranquility property and elsewhere around the island.

Tranquility is professionally designed and decorated to create a tranquil and enjoyable vacation…and invites your return as our guest, each and every year.

Natural beauty, the Gulf of Mexico and warmth of southwest Florida and its tropical luxury are the traditional attraction for travelers and vacationers. North Captiva Island is a sister Island to Sanibel and Captiva Islands. It remains the most unique hidden jewel of the barrier islands in Charlotte Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, just off shore of Fort Myers and Cape Coral. The island is accessible only by boat, water taxi service or small airplane on a two thousand foot grass landing field.

The beautiful beaches, natural Florida vegetation, including papaya, sea grape and banana palms, are a permanent record of the original unspoiled barrier islands. North Captiva Island is four and one half miles long and one half mile wide. Of its 700 acres, more than one half is a State of Florida protected Wilderness Park and wild life sanctuary for manatees, loggerhead turtles and over one hundred bird species. The waters around the island are among the most diverse and productive sport fishing grounds available in Florida.

Imagine a place you can reach with a twenty-minute boat ride that removes you from the crowded rush of our normal lives. A place on earth where the absence of cars is striking. Children are safe everywhere. Everything is within walking distance. A place of safety and clean fresh water...of sun and sand...of tropical breezes. A place with plenty to do...or nothing to do.

Imagine walking on the beautiful secluded beaches with the exotic sunsets shimmering off the breathtaking gulf waters. The only sounds heard are beach waves and birds calling. The entire island is available to exploration on paths that suddenly open onto vista of beaches, seas and sky.

The northern one third of the island is a residential development, built into the natural vegetation so that the entire island appears to be an extension of the natural setting. The uniqueness of the island, the wonderful climate, building requirements and local preservation interests are incorporated in an original and true island paradise.
