Photos and Description of the Captiva Island vacation house rental
3BR/3BA Oceanside Vacation Rental Pool House, Sleeps 8, Captiva, Florida USA

Our Sun & Moon House, a 3 br/3 bath Key West inspired home on popular Wightman Lane, is only a two to three minute walk down the sandy lane to the beach -- rated the most romantic for its calm, warm water, tropical atmosphere, and gorgeous sunsets. The restaurants in the village are just as close.

The decor is always kept updated and amenities reflect a finished, comfortable home, rather than a rental unit. The new kitchen is fully equipped for any entertaining needs. Dining choices include a dining room or the screened, furnished lanai by the swimming pool, or even the furnished sun & moon deck on the top level.

The glass sided living room offers a panoramic view of the swimming pool and the tropical foliage. The entertainment center has a 42' HDTV, DVD, and an Onkyo stereo receiver with i-Pod docking, 6-disc CD changer and Infinity speakers. A large collection of CDs are provided. Wireless Internet. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and handy cart make for an easy beach day.

- NOTE! We're heavily booked this season. If our calendar shows your date preference is already reserved, send us a request and with a Florida Realtor's license, we'll respond with available Captiva homes we know and trust. -

More information: DVD's are available at the village library. A queen sleeper is provided. We support free wireless high speed Internet.

The master bedroom on the second floor has a king-size bed, its own full bath, and cable TV. The sun & moon deck is accessible from this room as well as the hallway.

The second floor guest bedroom has two twin beds, cable TV/VCR, and its own bath in the room.

The first floor guest room, separated from the main living area for privacy, has a full bath, desk workspace, and 32 inch wall mounted LED TV. It's perfect for another couple, the grandparents, or a nanny for the children.

Naturally, all linens are provided and you'll find everything in perfect, move-in condition. Beach towels, lounge chairs, and umbrellas are provided for the beach. Our pool lanai is totally furnished and a Weber gas grill is ready for a cookout.

Biking is wonderful on Captiva and Sanibel Island and our men's and ladies' aluminum 7-speed beach cruiser bicycles are provided for your exclusive use.

Even more information: Bikes for the children or trailers for our bikes can be rented and delivered to your door. The best restaurants in Captiva's village are no more than a two to three minute walk away. Golfing on two 18-hole courses, The Dunes and Beachview, are just 20 minutes away on nearby Sanibel Island. Our Guest Guide, found in the living room, lists many of our personal recommendations to get your vacation started quickly.

This home is not managed by a management company, but by us, the owners. We personally supervise and assist our cleaning staff each Saturday. As the last to walk out the door prior to your arrival, we can assure you the Sun & Moon is one of the most immaculate and best prepared homes on Captiva, both inside and outside.

We personally own and maintain the Sun & Moon and our smaller house, the Mermaid. You are assured of a perfectly prepared house, both inside and out, as we're the last to leave the house before you arrive.

About Donna Casella or Larry Hahn

We live in the area and personally maintain our two beach vacation rental homes, the Sun & Moon and the smaller Mermaid House, to provide maximum attention to detail. We don't leave the house for a management company as most owners do. We really think our homes are the two best prepared on the island, regardless of rental cost!

Larry is also a Licensed Florida Realtor.

Donna & Larry

Donna Casella or Larry Hahn purchased this house in 2002
Why Donna Casella or Larry Hahn chose Captiva Island

Captiva is a boutique type Island, often compared to Aruba without the wind, or Hawaii without the volcanos. Captiva is a tropical Carribbean style island and looks nothing like the rest of Florida. The Sun & Moon is centrally located in the village center on the beach side of the village. There are no streets to cross between our house and the beach.

What makes this house unique

For some it's the immaculate preparation of the house and pool, for others it's the style of furniture always kept fresh, perhaps the great audio system with i-Pod docking and poolside speakers, or perhaps the HD TV in the living room and LCD tv in each bedroom. Some just love the unique beach cart we assembled with special oversize balloon tires. It's easy to haul all our beach chairs, umbrella and ice cooler to the beach with this handy cart. Let's not forget the 7-speed aluminum bicycles we also provide. And our large top floor furnished sun & moon deck is always well used for a great tan or star gazing on a clear Captiva night..

Car: recommended

Southwest Florida is the surrounding area serviced by Ft Myers' Southwest Regional Internationakl Airport (RSW). One of the 'Crown Jewels' of this area is Captiva Island, just a 35 mile, very pleasant drive from RSW. Captiva Island is described by some as Hawaii without volcanos, or Aruba without the wind. However you relate to it, it's not like a typical idea of Florida. We locals just think of it as a laid back, Carribean style tropical island on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

Dear Donna,

On behalf of my family and myself, I want to thank you for having such paradise available to us. This week was one of the most amazing weeks we have had as a family, we will always remember your house as something amazing and a blessing to all of us. Your Sun & Moon House is not only cozy and warm, but beautiful and totally equipped!! Captiva Island is a true paradise and I want to let you know that your house exceeded our expectations by a million!!

Thank you so much,

Respectfully,

Adriana

Owner's Response: As the owners, we personally take charge of preparing our Captiva houses each Saturday for our incoming guests. We're the last to close the door prior to your arrival, so we know quality control is high. You'll find everything perfectly clean and organized, both inside and poolside, all beds perfectly made, beach chairs, umbrella and beach cart ready, extra propane for the gas grill, and the house lights and music on for your arrival. This is why we know the good reviews will continue.

Perfect beach house!!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 5, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We absolutely loved our time at the Sun and Moon house. The house is beautiful, comfortable, clean and served our family perfectly. Our group consisted of my husband and myself, our 26 and 24 yr old children and my husband's parents. We all had plenty of room and our own space to enjoy. Everything we needed was there for us. Loved the great beach chairs, cooler and beach cart for the short, gorgeous walk to the beach. Dealing with Larry was a pleasure, and he even went the extra mile to personally mail some forgotten items to our daughter. Already planning our return trip - maybe this fall?!?!

Owner's Response: We thank you so much for your kind review. It's quite a compliment that you may try for a second trip this fall - especially as you must travel from Colorado. You'll see some changes on your next visit as we make some improvements in our both our Sun & Moon and Mermaid homes each year. This September both get resurfacing of pools and paver stones to cover the entire pool deck for a really fresh look, as well as gaining a non-slip surface. We do look forward to your return!

The house is amazing, as is the the island. Larry and Donna take great care and pride in the place, and are ALWAYS available for anything you might need. 5 stars is not enough for how great the house is, it's even better than you can expect. We have been to many places and rented many houses, but this far exceeds anything else. We will be going back for sure!!!

Beautiful Vacation Home

5 of 5

Each summer, we have a family vacation on Captiva with our daughters and their families. This house was just perfrect for our family. The bedrooms are situated far enough apart to allow for individual privacy but being in the same house is great for family activities. The house was extremely clean, and the owners made sure that there were sufficient necessities, such as soap, tissue, and toilet paper, to start the week. The beach buggy and umbrellas were put to good use at the beach, as well as the floaties and other toys available for the grandchildren. The pool is refreshing, after spending a few hours on the beach, and the patio is great for a family gathering and cookout. Restaurants, the beach, and many activities are all within a minute walk, and we rarely used our rental car. My family highly recommends the Sun and Moon House for a perfect Captiva Island family vacation!

Wonderful week with grandkids!

Submitted: March 4, 2011 Stayed: January 2011
We spend a week in Florida each January with 2 of our adult children and 2 grandchildren from Fairbanks, AK and this year chose Captiva. The Sun and Moon house was absolutely perfect for the 6 of us. First and foremost for our group, the Sun and Moon house is extremely clean, bug free and comfortably furnished.

The grandchildren and their parents had 2 very large bedrooms and adjoining baths on the second floor and we had a suite in the back of the first floor that could be closed off from the rest of the house. The privacy afforded by the floor plan works very well for extended families.

We may have stayed in more luxurious villas in Florida but never in a home so well equipped and well cared for. We didn't even need to replace paper products during our stay! The kitchen is very well appointed with quality dishware and cooking equipment.

It is obvious that Larry and Donna take great pride in the home and have put a lot of thought into providing for the comfort and convenience of their guests. Everything you need for the beach is provided and they have even reviewed local restaurants and have suggestions for shopping and activities in the area. From the home you are a short walk to the beach and many restaurants.

Our favorite feature was the heated pool in the large screened pool area that the grandkids could use even when it was too cool for the beach.

We loved the whole experience and will go back next year. Thanks, Larry and Donna! You can't go wrong with one of their properties or Captiva.
