Photos and Description of the Captiva Island vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Gorgeous, three bedroom home, located in the heart of charming Captiva Island. Recently renovated and beautifully decorated! Many lovely upgrades, such as porcelain tile, plush carpeting, French doors and plantation shutters just to name a few. The home features a spacious, fully equipped kitchen with luxury stainless steel appliances including a side by side refrigerator/freezer with ice and water in the door, ceramic topped range and large over the range microwave. Since this our family's second home, we provide items not usually found in the kitchen of a typical 'rental home'. We provide you with a coffee maker with several packets of high quality Columbian coffee, a plentiful supply of non dairy coffee creamer and two types of sweetener (sugar and splenda) . You will also be glad to know that you won't need to purchase salt or pepper, herbs and spices, foil paper, foil trays, saran wrap or paper towels. Hungry? Use our Panini sandwich maker to prepare a delicious hot sandwich to satisfy the afternoon munchies or use our Belgian waffle maker to prepare fresh waffles in the morning.

We have three new High Definition flat screen televisions, each with internet ready DVD players allowing you to use our NetFlix account to access their inventory of 40,000 movies to instantly stream movies directly to your TV , We also have an additional extensive DVD library, and a large screened patio outside of the living room with a table and four comfortably padded chairs which is the perfect setting to take your morning coffee while surrounded by our lush tropical foliage

The downstairs guest bedroom is appointed with a King Sized luxury bed ( not the typical rock hard bed found in most rentals ) and 500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets guaranteeing a great nights sleep. Adjacent to the bedroom is a full bathroom stocked with thick, ultra soft towels and a hair dryer. Outside of the bedroom there is a private screened in lanai with a pair of comfortable rocking chairs. The upstairs master bedroom also features luxury King Sized bedding, 500 thread count sheets and a full bathroom with hair dryer included. Step through the french doors onto your private sun/moon deck with our custom made fish shaped lounge chairs. Picture yourself sitting outside the master bedroom at the end of a fun filled day toasting the moon and stars with a glass of wine. The loft outside the Master Bedroom is fitted with two high quality twin beds and a comfortable over-stuffed chair. This is the perfect place for the kids to sleep, close enough for parents to keep an eye on things but still allowing parents the privacy they need to fully enjoy the romantic setting of Captiva.

On the ground floor, underneath our home you will find two custom made fish inspired bench swings that are delight for young and old to gently swing on. We also have a full size hammock, big enough for two which is an ideal spot to read one of the 100+ books that we provide for you in our library. Our ground floor storage room has everything needed to fully enjoy our world class private beach. There, we keep beach chairs, umbrellas, a very wide selection of every conceivable beach/sand toys, a cooler, beach floats, noodles and finally a cart with which to carry everything to the beach.

Just a two minute walk to our pristine, private beach, via our private boardwalk and only a 30 second walk to the heated swimming pool. Our home is located in the heart of Captiva village. Park your car upon arrival and stroll over to restaurants, shops, rentals and general store. So convenient!

From fine dining and nightlife, to spectacular sunsets and world renowned shelling, Captiva Island will deliver everything you need for a great vacation and more. Recently voted one of the top ten winter vacation destinations in the world! Whether you're looking for an activity filled vacation, or just want to lie on the beach enjoying the scenery, Captiva is an island paradise that you will always want to return to!

About The Owner

We have been vacationing in Captiva as a family for 25 years. Our 3 children who are now 26, 24 and 19 grew up on the beaches of Captiva during our yearly summer vacations. Even as adults they continue to come to our Captiva home although now they like to bring along the latest boyfriend or girlfriend. We are an active family so we love to fish, bike around the Island and body surf when the waves allow. We purchased this home not as a rental but as our family's second home and given that we live in Miami, we are blessed to be able to come to Captiva on an almost monthly basis

The Owner purchased this house in 2003
Why The Owner chose Captiva Island

We have been vacationing there for 25 years and found it to be the perfect place for family vacations. Everything that you need for a relaxing and memorable vacation is there. Once you arrive and park your car in our private driveway, you will no longer need your car until the end of your stay. Literally everything that you need is within easy walking distance making your vacation in our home truly a vacation that you and you and your children will cherish.

Love Captiva

We had a wonderful stay at Omar’s house! My family of five and my mother made the trip to Captiva in February. The island of Captiva was truly the perfect place for our three young girls (5, 3, and 9 months) and us. We have traveled throughout Mexico and the Caribbean and we were so pleasantly surprised by the beaches and island of Captiva. Everything was within walking distance of Omar’s house. We would visit the manatee, take walks to get ice cream, stop at the general store for supplies, eat at the fun kid friendly restaurants, walk the beach at sunset, swim in the heated pool, collect shells, and ENJOY the dolphins! Omar had everything we needed for our beach experience and tons of pool toys. The house also has a fully stocked kitchen, which we took advantage of many nights. Omar really went out of his way to make sure we were informed and had everything we needed. I can’t wait to come back!!

Thanks,
Andrea and Family

It's been several months since our stay in Omar's Captiva beach house but I wanted to write this review as a returning guest.

We returned for many reasons; Captiva's beautiful beach, the tranquility of the island and the excellent restaurants available but Omar's beach house is absolute heaven. We loved it as much the second time and we immediately reserved for our next visit in April, 2012. We found our place in paradise. The home is furnished perfectly and the cleanliness is off the charts. It rained a few days during our visit so we didn't use the grills in the pool area but cooked at the house. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and more. Candlelight dinners in the screened lanai while listening to the rain drops bounce on the leaves of tropical plants surrounding the house were almost intoxicating. Let it rain!

Omar provides everything you might need for a great week in Captiva. What a gracious host! As a returning guest, I feel he is always looking to upgrade his home. Many home renters give you the same old experience, year after year. He wants every guest to have a Captiva experience they will talk about for years. He is genuine with his concern for your comfort and I doubt there is little he wouldn't provide to insure the best vacation.

We can't wait to return to Captiva Island and once again enjoy Omar's beach house and his wonderful hospitality. One week is simply not long enough. Do yourself a favor a reserve two weeks.

We stayed here between Christmas and New Year's and feel so fortunate to have found such a great house to spend time in. It really is not just a house, but a home with every amenity we needed to enjoy time at the beach or pool, playing tennis, or just relaxing. The kitchen is very well-equipped with updated appliances and everything you need to cook whatever you like. There are plenty of beach chairs, towels, and toys. Lots of books, games, movies, and 3 HDTVs, too. The whole house is very clean; the beds are comfortable, and there are lots of spaces for relaxing and lounging.
We loved the pool, tennis courts, grill, and easy access to the beach and the town of Captiva.
Omar, the owner, was very helpful and easy to work with. He is professional in every way and treated us with care throughout the rental process. What an attentive owner and gracious host.
We would definitely rent this house again.

Hi Omar,
Your home is fantastic! We were lucky to spend our Thanksgiving vacation in your comfortable Captiva home. Our family lives in Gaithersburg,MD and my Grandparents live in Tampa,Fl. This was a fantastic place to meet up and spend time together. We loved the beach, pool and tennis courts! My Grandmother and I always looked forward to our morning walks on the beach! We gathered a great collection of unique shells and are looking forward to returning next Thanksgiving!:) Sincerely, Caitlin,Kevin, Mark and Janice, Richard and Yvonne

Loved everything about your home

Submitted: December 12, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
Omar, it looks like we are not the first to love this place...and indeed we did! Great, comfortable home and your furnishings and decor are fabulous. Ir was an exhausting pace... going to the beach, then the pool, then lunch and a nap! Then back to the beach for sunset, then dinner and chatting on your wonderful porch. It was tough,but we tried our best!:) Loved going to Cayo Costa and collecting shells. Fond regards Steve and Serena, Marcia and Tom

Best Captiva Vacation Ever

Submitted: December 12, 2011 Stayed: November 2011
Dear Omar,

Has anyone ever told you that you have the gift of hospitality? Your beach home with all of its special touches is a testimony to this. We have felt so "at home" here. Our kids have said over and over how comfortable they are. They loved the "fish room", the loft and the beach toy bonanza downstairs :). Pete and I really enjoyed starry nights out on the balcony.
These past two weeks have been so full of memories and fun. This has been our best stay ( since our honeymoon ) here in Captiva.

Highlights:
1. The amazing shelling ( post storm ). Huge shell mounds!
2. Dolphins playing within feet of us!
3. Shooting stars/ moonlit tag on the beach
4. Baby manatee at Jensen's
5. The Mullet Parade / Halloween tent party at Tween Waters
6. Trick or treating at Sanibel Community Church
7. 12 mile bike ride through Ding Darling
8. Peeking inside Chapel-by-the-sea. After 15 years of visiting Captiva it was open. :)
9. Waking up to the Osprey calls daily.
10. Morning jogs at Sunrise. Nightly walks in the moonlight.

We are looking forward to returning in May! Until then...

Blessings,
Pete, Melissa and family

P.S. The cute little pop up playhouse made our little guys day. We set it up under the stairs and he had such a blast. Also, our girls love the library. The ladies there are so kind and they have a great selection of books/DVD's.

If you end up in our neck of the woods, please shoot us an email. We would love to go out to dinner with you. :)

Awesome Vacation!!!

Submitted: December 12, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
Omar,
Your place is awesome. My family and I enjoyed our time here and made many memories. All of the great beach "stuff" you have downstairs made our beach experience that much more enjoyable. It sure beats renting it! It seems that you have thought of everything possible that a family could need to completely enjoy their beach vacation. We hope to return here in a couple of years. Thanks again for sharing your place with us.

THE GREATEST!!! 5++++ STARS

This is our third consecutive year in Omar's magnificent beach home. As always the home was immaculately clean and filled with amenities that you usually don't find in a mere rental. We look forward to our week in Captiva all year long and when we arrive are never disappointed. It seems like just when we think that the home can not be any more comfortable, the owners make more improvements. This year we were delighted to find that Omar had purchased three HD TV's with three HD DVD players and added NetFlix so in the evenings we were able to relax and choose from one of the thousands of movies they offer. In addition they completely upgraded the large outdoor patio with all new furniture including side by side ultra comfortable chairs with accompanying ottomans. Our family has begun to think of this home as our home away from home and we are thankful that we discovered this amazing vacation home. We are already planning our next vacation here and can't wait for next year to arrive. Thank you Omar for being so accommodating and making us truly feel like we are part of the family.
