About this property
Historic 3BR Cottage with Optional Upstairs Suite, Steps to Beach & Village
🌴 Step back in time and fall in love with old Florida charm at Island House — a beautiful historic cottage in the classic Florida style, nestled in the heart of Captiva Village. ☀️ This one-of-a-kind vacation home blends the character and warmth of Captiva Island's architectural heritage with all the modern comforts you need for a perfect beach getaway.
🏡 Island House sits right in the Village, with an easy walk to the beach, beloved restaurants, boutique shops, and all the outdoor adventures Captiva has to offer. Whether you're wandering Andy Rosse Lane for souvenirs, dining on fresh Gulf seafood at the Green Flash Restaurant, or cycling along the island's scenic paths, you'll love having everything within strolling distance. 🌊 And the Gulf of Mexico beach is just a short walk away whenever the call of the waves becomes irresistible.
🛏️ The main house features two cozy bedrooms — a king and a twin — plus a small additional room with a twin day bed, and two full bathrooms. It's a perfect configuration for a small family, a couple with children, or two close friends. 🌺 The Florida-style interiors are warm, authentic, and wonderfully charming — this isn't a generic rental; it's a piece of Captiva's soul.
🏠 What makes Island House truly special is the optional upstairs apartment — a flexible bonus space featuring a bedroom with twin beds, an additional twin bed in the living room, and a private bathroom. When rented together with the main house, Island House accommodates up to 7 guests total, making it uniquely versatile for groups of varying size or for families who want a bit of extra space and separation.
🍳 Both the main house and upstairs apartment feature fully equipped kitchens with Keurig coffee makers, toasters, and all the cooking essentials. Central A/C, linens, beach towels, washer/dryer, and WiFi are all included. 📶 Beach chairs and umbrellas are provided so you're ready to hit the sand the moment inspiration strikes.
The historic character of Island House — from its classic Florida architecture to its cozy, cottage-style interiors — gives it a personality that modern construction simply cannot replicate. There's a story here, a sense of place, an authenticity that makes every stay feel genuinely special.
Whether you're a couple seeking a quiet romantic escape, a small family looking for a charming base camp for island exploration, or a group of 7 wanting flexible space, Island House delivers a Captiva experience that is utterly unique.

Great stay with our family of 4. We are a couple in our 50's traveling with our sons 19 & 20. The perfect part about this property besides the location is the "in-law" apartment. Our son's enjoyed their own space. The home had everything you would need for a perfect beach vacation. Many plates, utensils, beach chairs, outdoor shower, board games, etc. Location was truly amazing. About 2/10th of a smile from the beach, close to the restaurants but set back just enough to be away from the noise and hustle-bustle.

The Island House at Captiva is great! We love the location and proximity to many different stores and restaurants. At the Island House we enjoy renting bikes and going to the beach and just exploring the area. We highly recommend this location if you want a great place to escape and become one of the "islanders".

Reviewer Comments:
Short 8-10 minute walk to the beach. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. The upstairs can only be accessed by using the outside stair case, so that’s not ideal. I came with my one year old son and packed a pack and play and everything else I needed. The house actually had a pack and play, umbrella stroller and toys! Which was super nice. Also had beach chairs and beach towels. The only problem I had with the house was that it was dirty. The air vents are discussing. It is clear they haven’t been cleaned in at least 6 months, probably longer. The fans also had a huge layer of dust. One of the air vents didn’t even have a filter in it. Under the couch is was gross and near the TV I don’t think it has ever been cleaned. The house is in need of a BIG time cleaning. That was my only problem with the house.

Very charming house. We have 4 kids (17, 13, 11, 9) and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved being in the living quarters upstairs. 5 minute walk to the beach. 1-5 min walk to all restaurants. The property owner is most helpful and kind property owner I have rented from. Beach chairs, beach toys and towels are neatly provided. Everything describing the house and the reviews I read were extremely accurate. Would stay at this location again in a heartbeat.

Four of us stayed at Island House for a week. Some of us have been renting from American Realty for over 30 years. The quiet street is just steps from sunrise and two blocks from sunset. The updated house had everything we wanted and the upstairs apartment provided just enough privacy. As usual, the American Realty staff took care of everything. Can’t wait to return to Captiva.
