Modern 2BR + Loft Retreat with Bay-View Deck & Steps to Beach w/ Bunk Beds

* SPECIAL !!! $1995 June - October 2024 ! Open weeks only. *

Sunset Captiva #51 is a bright two-bedroom home with a loft (including a day bed) and a new
sleep sofa in the living room (sleeps 6 maximum). Each bedroom has a queen bed and the guest bedroom also has a twin bed loft to provide guests with flexibility in sleeping options.

A warm Floridian interior welcomes visitors to island life on Captiva in Sunset Captive #51.
Located just a short walk to the Sunset Captiva beachfront access and Bayside docks, guests
can have it all during their stay in this single-family home–with shared but quiet beach access as
well as a dock for guests with a boat (reconstruction of a new dock planned for Fall 2023!).

Looking for something to do? Restaurants and shops are just a short stroll from your front door
to the Captiva Village. Restaurants offer various cuisines–and some offer live nightly
entertainment–all are very close to Sunset Captiva. A variety of activities, including parasailing,
fishing, sea kayaking, day cruising, shopping, shelling, and walking on endless sandy beaches all can be arranged right on Captiva. While you’re just more than 60 minutes from the Fort Myers (RSW) airport, you’ll feel like you’re far from civilization in this remote beach village. Take just a short drive to Sanibel Island and find Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, golf, local churches, a grocery store, and other restaurants and shops. So whether you want to be busy exploring all that these islands have to offer, or you just want to get lost in a book away from it all, Sunset Captiva #51 is the place for you!

A large sun deck with bay views spans the upper level. Below it is a shaded screened lanai with
teak furniture, including a dining table for outdoor dining night or day.

The Sunset Captiva community has all-new landscaping and will have a new dock, swimming
pool, and tennis & pickleball courts planned for reconstruction following Hurricane Ian. Sunset Captiva #51 has outdoor spaces with both warm sunshine and a shady lower level for a quiet, cool, and private place to relax. An outdoor shower allows for a quick rinse when returning from the beach.

Highly recommend 51 Sunset Captiva!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were very satisfied with our stay at 51 Sunset Captiva. Property was clean and very comfortable, located within close walking distance to the beach and several restaurants in the heart of Captiva Island. Our only complaint would be the clothes washing machine - it is extremely loud when doing laundry and not located in an area where a door can be shut to minimize the noise.

Mostly perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well decorated, clean and provided more then expected. They had beach toys for children, booster seat, pack and play, stool for little ones, fans on screened in deck, w/d, so much more. Only complaint was the bed in the room, without the bunk, was very uncomfortable. This has been written up in previous reviews. Otherwise, perfect.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: With George out the experience at Sunset Captiva was a little different. Overall we had a good stay but when we did need anything from the Mgmt company and asked or reported issues, it all depends what staff member you get as to how that experience goes. Most the interactions were positive but one in particular was not.
