🌊 There's something irresistibly special about being by the sea — and this wonderful Captiva Island vacation home makes that dream a daily reality. 🏖️ By the Sea is a lovely private non-smoking home on Chapin Lane in the heart of Captiva Village, just one block from the warm, turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico. With a private heated pool and spa, lush surroundings, and a location that puts everything Captiva has to offer right at your fingertips, this is a vacation home that delivers pure island joy.
🏡 Chapin Lane is one of Captiva's most desirable village addresses — quiet, shaded, and charming, yet within easy walking distance of the island's beloved shops, restaurants, and beach access. From By the Sea, you can walk to dinner, stroll to the sand, and cycle to a sunset cruise all without ever getting in a car. ☀️ That's the Captiva lifestyle at its very best.
🛏️ Three comfortable bedrooms — two with queen beds and one with two twin beds — accommodate up to 6 guests across two full baths. It's the ideal configuration for families, friend groups, or two couples traveling together who appreciate having a bit of breathing room. Each room is thoughtfully furnished for comfort and relaxation.
🏊 The private heated pool and spa are the crown jewel of By the Sea's outdoor spaces. 🌴 Whether you're doing morning laps, soaking in the spa after a long day at the beach, or grilling up fresh Gulf catch on the gas grill with a cold drink in hand, the outdoor area is designed for pure enjoyment. A one-block walk to the beach means you can bounce between the pool and the surf as many times as you like throughout the day.
🍳 Inside, a fully equipped kitchen with a Keurig, refrigerator, cookware, and all essentials makes in-home dining easy and fun. Central A/C, linens, beach towels, a washer/dryer, and high-speed internet are all included. 📶 Beach chairs and umbrellas are provided so you hit the sand in style.
🌺 From By the Sea, you can walk to the Green Flash Restaurant, explore the galleries on Andy Rosse Lane, rent paddleboards at the marina, or simply wander the nature paths under a canopy of ancient sea grapes and gumbo limbo trees. Captiva's magic is right outside the door. 🦅
