Nice quiet getaway. Has a couple of restaurants on the island. Hosts are very polite and responsive and the beach shack was very clean and has everything you need for a few nights. We will definitely be visiting again.

This beach shack has everything you need to get away from the busyness of life. It was a wonderful place for the two of us to reconnect and relax for a week. It is decorated with beach decor and very clean. The owner answered all of our questions in a timely manner and was very thorough. We will definitely return to this secluded hideaway!

We had a wonderful stay with our family of five. It’s small but perfectly cozy. I had small cots for our 3 kids (6 and under) and that worked out very well. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

The place was absolutely wonderful and charming. Way more beautiful than the 4, 5 stories places. This will be an annual bi annual visit. If i had anything to Critique a air fryer would be a great addition.

We had an amazing time at Kinsey’s Beach Shack. It was an ideal location: tucked away and private. Right outside the door is the water, which is ideal for relaxing by the water or adventuring along the beach. The interior was very clean, bright, and comfortable. The bed was perfect. All we have are great things to say about the beach shack and our time there. When we come back to North Captiva we would definitely stay there again!

Property was quaint and clean. Dock was slightly awkward, no water or electric. Property manager was helpful in mitigating that problem. Overall was a great experience!

A slice of paradise, tucked away on a beautiful island miles away from the hustle and bustle of mainland life. Surrounded by all kinds of wildlife from dolphins and manatees to herons and eagles. This is the perfect getaway!!!!

It's no easy feat to make it and coordinate logistics of traveling to, departing from, and staying in the island, but boy is it worth it. This tiny old fish shack is affords a rare opportunity for a small family to enjoy all that this amazing island has to offer. We were so happy to see the island in full restoration mode after hurricane Ian!

After staying for a few nights in 2019 and falling in love with this place … we finally made it back for a return visit and stayed the entire week of Thanksgiving! The location and seclusion was just as wonderful as we remembered. So glad the shack survived Ian. Ashton was quick to send assistance for the only issue we ran into. Thanks!!! Hope to be back again sooner than later.

Adorable property, decorated very nicely. Gorgeous view on a remote island. Our only complaint was it smelled like fried fish and the palmetto bugs were horrible at night in the shack. We killed at least 10 each night.

Our fifth time to this special little island and first time on The Point. Hurricane Ian hit hard last year and clean up still continues 6 mos later with numerous home repairs, significant debris pile removal and waterfront rebuilding. Despite all, the island community has banded together working hard with a hopeful spirit. The Beach Shack is in a more remote area, yet lively boat channel activity in the sound makes it fun to watch (especially on weekends) while sitting on the shore. It was like a boat parade one day. Be sure to use their big blue canopy to create some shade, as it’s a sunny spot without any cover other than the deck table umbrella. Also know storage inside is minimal (no closet or dresser). Slim Rubbermaid tubs under the bed would be very helpful. Pack lightly as you won’t need much. Nice clean little laundry room out back. Bring flashlight and binoculars for viewing abundant nature (and bug spray). Great little kitchen with everything you need. Still suggest bottled water although there’s a Britta. You’ll need to rent a golf cart as it’s a long walk to the ocean side and also The Island poolside Bar & Grill or Over the Water cafe in Safety Harbor. Finally, bring your morning coffee to the Shack’s private pier and watch the manatee family play and feed. The three “local” dolphins may visit too. Amazing… Looking forward to returning. Thanks Ashton!

A few things I wish would of been listed that it had - Great Beach towels, Lots of sand toys, Beach umbrella ,Floaties ,Snorkel set(s) ,Lighter fluid ,Spices , Electric griddle Britta water filter container and sink faucet-filter attachment, collapsible wagon, Comfy adjustable beach chairs , 2 fishing rods, Elevated Open grill(like a campground), Family games - wish there were more hooks to hang things up inside or place to put clothes. Comfy beds/pillows. (King bed is two twins put together) Clean shower, Clean fridge/freezer, A/C worked great! General store at mangos is super expensive Barnacles - serves all 3 meals Mangos - take out orders for non club members and has ice cream too Over the Water - reservations needed Cute gift shop at boats n fun Public beach is amazing but be careful for rip currents! : Lots of drownings Walk to the southern tip a must! Loads and loads of shells. What shelling dreams are made of! We collected over 50 sand dollars and just about every Shell you can imagine! Seen dolphins from both beaches, daily. Manatee near dock. 5-6ft shark in the shallows of the beach! Lots of birds. Star fish!(they look dead but are not. Throw them back in the water!) Great fishing right near the point- in front of cabin. Had a once in a lifetime experience thanks to the neighbor who is a local - caught a shark and let us take part!! It was the coolest experience. Overall a quiet part of the island! No other gulf cart traffic except yours and the other house at the end of the point. Great for kids because you didn’t have to worry about them playing football etc on the road! Wear bug spray! The sand gnats are terrible! We took the pine island shuttle from airport to marina. Preordered groceries at Publix in Cape Coral. Island girl shuttle boat taxi.

If you are looking for a private location to unwind, to reconnect with nature. This is the home and location you are looking for. The cottage is well supplied with all that you will need for a extened stay. Sand, sun, private beach with warm water to swim, dolphins, meanettes, shells, sunrises, sunsets, stars galore and so, so much more...... Recommendations for a great stay: North Captivia Island is only assessalbe by walk on ferry or water taxi (leaves from pine island). We decided on a water taxi which dropped us off right on the dock that is on the property of the cottage. Taking the ferry will take you into the harbor which has a restaurant, bar, small convenience store and a boats and fun rental store where you can rent a golf cart that you can then take to the cottage. Having a golf cart will give you the availability to explore this beautiful island. Take enough groceries and water to last you entire stay ( Winn Dixie is in the town of pine island, which is close to the ferry or water taxi). This is what concerned me the most. Not olny did we have all of our luggage, but then we would have to buy enough groceries and water for a weeks stay, how the heck would we carry all this onto a boat and haul it to he cottage. This brought us to get a water taxi offered from boats and fun. This way we could be droped with all of our stuff on the dock on the property. Once we got to the property the captian of the boat helped us unload and also helped us with taking it all to the cottage. As I have stated there is a small convenience store with not much to offer. If you run out of water, small drinking bottled water is all that is offered. Last, take lots of sunscreen and bug spray! Florida has a biting bug called the no see um. Oh boy, is this ever true. You no see um. The bite is a lot like a mosquito bite. While I didn't get bit much, they loved the taste of my husband. Rumor has it that a bug spray with deet is the best to fend off these pesky no see ums. Very last, make sure to add into the expense of this trip, the cost of the taxi and or ferry. The cost of a golf cart rental ( we walked to the harbor and rented one for a couple of days). When I booked this cottage I did not account for these costs. In all the extra cost where about $800.00. But, how much are you willing to pay for paradise.....

Stayed at Kinsey’s Beach Shack with my husband for our first anniversary and we’re already trying to figure out when we can go back. You can’t beat the location - tucked away but right on the beach. Just secluded enough. It’s definitely not upscale but we knew what to expect so we loved it. Service on the island wasn’t great (we have Verizon) but that just meant less time on our phones! We had groceries delivered to the house so we had one less thing to worry about on the ferry. We rented a golf cart from Boats and Fun. Just the ride up to the shack was magical. We can’t wait to come back!

We are nature lovers and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The cottage is cute and had everything we needed. We left from pine island on island girl ferry. The crew loaded our luggage, groceries etc and unloaded when we arrived. We rented a golf cart and Jake from boats and fun was there waiting for our arrival. We loaded up and off we went. We had a wonderful stay!

I hesitate to share too much, because we'd rather the property and island not have more visitors, but I'd also feel guilty not sharing such an amazing spot with the world. This little shack is exactly that, just enough space for a small family. The spot on the island offers peace and tranquility of morning sunsets and all sorts of wildlife. Less than 1 mile walk to the other side of the island and your eyes are met with nothing but beautiful beach and sea green waters. Plenty of logistics to staying on a still quiet and not too developed island, but it's well worth the effort.

We fell in love with North Captiva five years back and we were so happy to come stay at this adorable little beach cottage. We kept our JetSki on the dock out back, and our golf cart in the front. It was very windy while we stayed so it was really nice to be on the calm Bayside beach. The pull out daybed worked perfect for our two young children. We look forward to visiting again soon! Thank you so much!

Overall we had a lovely time. Loved how isolated this home is. Very quiet. The home needs a little TLC but it was very clean inside. Loved parking our boat on our private dock. Would recommend this home for couples.
