'A Shore Thing' is located on beautiful Captiva Island. Our home is only one property away (300ft) from the gorgeous Island beach. 'A Shore Thing' is in Captiva Village therefore within walking distance to all restaurants, shops, McCarthy's Marina, the Captiva Library, and Starbucks. It is also close to the famous and quaint Chapel By The Sea, Captiva's only Chapel which is non-denominational.

We purchased our home in May 2011 and have been making improvements ever since. It is a ground level, newly renovated home with all new mattresses, bedroom furniture, bedding, towels, outdoor furniture, cushions, umbrellas, grill & more. We also offer three flat-screen TV's, DVD players and wireless internet service. The home boasts a private heated pool nestled among tropical plantings and lush grass. You may also rent a golf cart which is always fun! Come to Captiva Island and fall in love with the beaches, the weather and the people. This is a wonderful place for you and your family to make memories.

About Laura Nyman

We live in Massachusetts and try as often as possible to get to our beach house on sunny Captiva Island. We are very happy to share this piece of paradise with friends, family and guests.

Laura Nyman purchased this house in 2011
Why Laura Nyman chose Captiva Island

When we visited Captiva Island for the first time we knew we wanted to be a part of this wonderful and close knit commumity. Captiva is a small island (just 300 homes), has a spectacular beach, and is surrounded by the ocean. The vibe is so relaxed and friendly. We all begin to unwind as soon as we cross the causeway onto our tropical Island. The beach is rarely crowded and is a wonderful place to relax while watching the birds and passing dolphins. We have enjoyed having friends and family join us at A Shore Thing. The memories we are making on Captiva will be with us forever.

What makes this house unique

We looked at many properties on the Island and fell in love with A Shore Thing. The proximity to the beach was my husbands favorite part, while I preferred the private HEATED pool surrounded by lush plantings. I love the privacy of the backyard. I love sitting on a lounge chair looking up at the bright blue sky and hearing the waves on the beach. We had our heart set on being in the 'Village' as well. This enables us to walk everywhere! Our daily walk to Starbucks is guaranteed exercise :) Our girls love the location because of how close we are to the Captiva Library. They love books, movies and the children's activities offered. Overall, the location can't be beat so we jumped to purchase this home!

Perfect location!

This was our second stay at this property now called A Shore Thing. It was as delightful as we remembered. The decor is charming and home very cozy. It has everything you will need from comfy beds in spacious rooms to good showers with lots of towels, which was a necessity for the four of us. Going from beach to heated pool with two young kids was a daily requirement. The best part is the location! Easy, short walk to beach and to town for good eats and activities. The only very minor short comings relate to attention to details. For instance, there was no colander, welcome coffee packet with filters, guest book and ability to open the big gate to park the rented bikes. The realty company misinformed us about the pool jets and fountain we enjoyed during our last visit and sadly didnt get to reexperience this time. They do work! Again, all very minor and no reason not to stay at this wonderful home. It truly comes highly recommended from us and we will be Shore to come back. Thanks Laura!

This home was exactly as was advertised and even better! The location is truly ideal, a very short walk from the beach and town. It is just across from the library, where they have a great selection of dvds and books, and from the bay which has a fabulous restaurant to have drinks on the bay or take a sunset cruise. The homeowner, Laura, was very attentive and the staff at the realty company were most helpful. Everything is as it appears in the photos, but is even better when you experience it...the great mattresses, plush towels, top of the line pool lounges and the pool heated to a very comfortable temperature. The sliding pocket doors that separate the master bedroom from the rest of the house was a great bonus. Captiva is fabulous and this house is a find. Go and enjoy!

We have been to Captiva before, but this was our best visit to date! We parked our car in the driveway on the day of our arrival and never used it again. It was a quick walk to the beach, which made it easy to come back and forth to the house for lunch or whatever our children needed. Just two very short blocks away were all of the delicious restaurants, live music, ice cream/coffee shop, and the corner store which you can walk to along the road or via the beach (where we would catch the sunset after dinner on our way home)!
The home was clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything including a pool, games for the entire family, dvd players, and my favorite, a washer and dryer.
We had a blast and will definitely stay at this beautiful home on our next trip to Captiva Island!

Great Stay on Captiva Island

Our stay at A Shore Thing was wonderful. The property is very nicely updated, and the layout of the home is perfect with the master on the opposite side of the central living area from the two guest bedrooms. Plenty of bathrooms for our group of 7 as well. The backyard space is very nice and the fact that it's only 1 level, it's convenient to the pool especially when you have little ones (no stairs up and down). It's the best location on the island, less than a block from the beach and only 3 blocks to dining. We've had several stays on Captiva and for the price this home can't be beat.Hope to plan another trip there next Spring.

A Shore Thing was a great vacation home. Clean, comfortable....everything we needed for our family of 5. We loved the private backyard/pool area with lush foliage and birds singing every morning. The house is just a short walk down a SHADED path to the beach. The beaches were never crowded and the weather was perfect. The house is also close to the village so we could walk to shops and restaurants on the island. We cannot wait to return to Captiva and A Shore Thing!!

A Shore Thing was everything you could ask for and more in a vacation home. The neighborhood is quiet, the home is spacious and well equipped, with a private yard, beautiful patio & pool area, feet from the beach and walking distance to the marina, restaurants and shops. It really was a "little piece of heaven"

We have already booked our next trip back to A Shore Thing. What a wonderful place right here in our own backyard. The home is just as pictured which is clean, updated and close to everything! We could not have asked for a more relaxing vacation. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us. We are thrilled to have found Captiva, and are counting the days until our next stay! Thanks again.

What a great place! We weren't sure what to expect as we never rented a house for our vacations before. Well we would do it again in a heartbeat! The owners provided everything a hotel would & more. The home was very clean upon arrival, and decorated perfectly so that you have that tropical vacation feel. We have a 3 & 5 year old so not only was the house "child friendly" but the short walk to the beach was perfect for them.
Can't wait to go back!!

Nothing beats coming out of the ocean and walking into an 85 degree+ pool. So relaxing. A Shore Thing was such a great house and within walking distance of all the best restaurants and bar stops on the island. I found the house to be very clean and updated with very comfortable beds and furniture. Celebrated Thanksgiving with a nice group and the house and big dining table worked great. Also, having wi/fi was a plus. I'll be back...
Owner's Response: So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. We have been busy making improvements since purchasing this home. We are excited about the house, and so happy to share it with others! Thanks again.

We just returned from a week at A Shore Thing on Captiva. We had a wonderful stay. The owner was great to deal with. She really made us feel welcome, and genuinely cared about our vacation. Everything was neat and clean, and as promised. I highly recommend this home for a vacation.

The location could not be any better. It is across the street from the beach path and a very short walk to Andy Rosse. It is also close to the library which is great for renting movies and printing out plane tickets!

The bedrooms are very well decorated and clean. The mattresses are comfortable too which is important. Our grandchildren had such fun going from the beach straight to the pool. The backyard is so private with beautiful plantings. We enjoyed our breakfast outside every morning.

We can't wait to go back and will stay again at A Shore Thing. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
