Your dream vacation to an island paradise is just a few clicks away!
Lunar Tides is located on the barrier island of North Captiva just off the coast of Southwest Florida. This island is ONLY accessible via boat or private single engine plane that lands on a grass runway open to the water on both ends!
Once you step foot on the boat (or plane!) you are on island time! You will be reminded of old Florida with the laid-back simplicity on the island and think you are in the Caribbean with the beautiful turquoise waters!
North Captiva is home to four miles of pristine white sand beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound. Even on the busiest of weeks, you will feel like you are on your own private island. Hop on your golf cart and set out to explore! The only transportation on the island is electric golf carts and bicycles!
Explore Florida’s untouched wilderness! North Captiva is home to 350 acres of Nature Preserve that lead you South to the most private of beaches and a handful of fully off the grid homes. Here you will find Gopher tortoises, bobcats, coyotes, a variety of snakes (non-venomous!), racoons, birds and so much more.
Florida is known as the fishing capital of the world and whether it is by boat or surf fishing your catch will be plentiful! North Captiva is a great night spot for shark and snook fishing and just a short boat ride to Boca Grande Pass which is the Tarpon Capital of the World! People come from around the world to Tarpon fish right here in our backyard! Redfish, snapper, triple tail, and grouper are just a few of the other popular fish located in our pristine waters.
North Captiva is home to four restaurants; Mainstay and Barnacles bar, Mangos, Over the Waterfront and The Boathouse, all with their own style but guaranteed to offer a great time!
Once you arrive on island, our property manager will meet you at the dock to assist you and your guests with luggage to the house. You won’t have to lift a finger as they will load everything onto golf carts and bring everything inside the house.
Grocery stocking services are available prior to and during your stay. Imagine arriving to a pre-stocked kitchen with cold drinks ready to head to the beach!
