INTRODUCING ROOSEVELT COTTAGE — A GULF‑TO‑BAY CAPTIVA ESTATE OF PURE ISLAND LUXURY
Tucked along one of Captiva’s most coveted stretches of Gulf‑to‑Bay shoreline, Roosevelt Cottage is a rare island estate offering timeless charm, modern comfort, and an unforgettable resort‑style experience. With nearly 5,000 sq ft of beautifully designed living space across three separate structures, this property is made for extended families, multi‑generational groups, and anyone seeking a private, peaceful slice of Captiva magic.

• Launching kayaks or paddleboards
• Docking a rental boat for island‑hopping adventures
This is true bayside living — peaceful, scenic, and endlessly relaxing.
