Such a dream vacation on your own personal quiet beach.
The daily expansive water views from this property seep into your soul. The only real problem was- that we had to leave. The home is well equipped and provides for a comfortable home away from home experience. The beds are comfortable, the linens soft. The management and owners were kind and responsive. Nature on North Captiva is incredible. Constant dolphin sightings, osprey, manatee (in Safety Harbor), gopher tortoise, and eagles await! The rentable wide tire bikes allow for exploring the island’s nature preserve with ease. The ice cream shop is situated near the bike return.This property is unique in that it borders both the Pine Island Sound on the back,as well as Safety Harbor on the front (accessed via a two part long dock). The home’s lower deck affords enjoyable swimming in the warm private pool, corn hole, grilling, and relaxing on the ample lounge chairs. Our favorites were the mornings spent watching the sunrise on the water from the wrap around balcony, and watching sunsets from the opposite side of the balcony. Plentiful shells abound. The transportation process was made easy by the property’s management team (that helps you load and unload your luggage). The included golf cart was of very good quality. I’m still not entirely sure why we left. A vacation you’ll never regret in a well appointed and beautiful home. The Blue Marlin is a keeper, and worthy of its 5-star rating.
