Check out the pool bar...it's a great place to hang out while visiting the island. They have a full bar including one of my favorite local beers from Punta Gorda. The barkeep Gigi is awesome and pours a wicked cocktail!! Hungry? They've got you covered with a diverse menu. You can enjoy all sorts of tasty morsels including everything from pork nachos to a yummy hamburger. So go to the pool bar at North Captiva Island Club and see a part of Florida seldom experienced! read more

North Captiva Island - Real Estate Services Near Me - Captiva, Florida

My uncle was planning to airlift his Florida Pine cottage to a lot here twenty years ago because it is so peaceful, the beach so nice and the privacy sooooo perfect for writing or just lounging about. I shouldn't say any more because too many other folks will want to come to this idylic barrier island and spoil the tranquility.North Captiva Island is an island in Lee County in Southwest Florida, located just offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. It lies just north of Captiva Island, separated by a channel called Redfish Pass which was created in a 1921 hurricane. It lies just south of Cayo Costa Island, separated by Captiva Pass. Like Captiva and Sanibel Islands, North Captiva is a barrier island to Pine Island (to the east of Captiva and north of Sanibel), and is very narrow. There is no automobile access to the island and electric golf carts are the primary means of transport. Development of the island began in the 1960s, but was slow due to the absence of electric service and the difficulty on transporting building materials to the island. Commercial electric and phone service was established in the mid 1980s. The island now has about 300 homes built and 300 vacant lots, or about halfway to build out. About half of the island is owned by the State of Florida and is part of a State Park. All other areas are privately owned including the roads. Since the island can be accessed by boat or small plane only, a regular passenger ferry service runs from Pine Island Marina (the "Island Girl" charter service) at two hour intervals - serving both tourists and locals who own neither boats or airplanes. There is also a barging service that transports materials to and garbage from the island. WOW, would that cottage be worth a packet today. read more
