About this property
Captiva Sun & Moon Pool House - Beach Side of Village Center
Our Sun & Moon House, a 3 br/3 bath Key West-inspired home on popular Wightman Lane, is only a three-minute walk down the sandy lane to the beach -- rated the most romantic for its calm, warm water, tropical atmosphere, and gorgeous sunsets. The restaurants in the village are just as close. And please note, we're on Captiva Island where you can drive to, unlike North Captiva - a totally separate destination - where no cars are permitted.
The decor is always kept updated and amenities reflect a finished, comfortable home, rather than a rental unit. The new kitchen is fully equipped for any entertaining needs. Dining choices include a dining room or the screened, furnished lanai by the re-finished swimming pool and paver stone-covered pool deck, or even the furnished sun & moon deck on the top level.
The glass-sided living room, with a leather, super comfortable sleeper sofa and side chairs, offers a panoramic view of the swimming pool and the tropical foliage. The entertainment center has a 50" Smart LCD HDTV, DVD, and a Bluetooth connected 100-watt Onkyo stereo receiver, 6-disc CD changer and Infinity speakers inside and JBL poolside speakers. A large collection of CDs are provided. Wireless Comcast Internet and long-Comcast free calling in the 48 states. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, ice coolers, and handy beach cart make for an easy beach day.
The master bedroom on the second floor has a king-size bed, its own full bath, and 43" Smart HDTV. The "sun & moon" deck is accessible from this room as well as the hallway.
The second-floor guest bedroom has two twin beds, HDTV/DVD, and its own full bath in the room. Children love this spacious and well decorated and equipped room.
The first-floor guest room, separated from the main living area for privacy, has a full bath, desk workspace, and 32" wall-mounted HDTV. It's perfect for another couple, the grandparents, or a nanny for the children.
Naturally, all linens are provided and you'll find everything in perfect, move-in condition. Beach towels, lounge chairs, and umbrellas are provided for the beach. Our pool lanai is totally furnished and a new Weber gas grill is ready for a cookout.
Even more information: Bikes for adults or children can be rented and delivered to your door. The restaurants in Captiva's village are no more than a two to three-minute walk away. Our Guest Guide, found in the living room, lists many of our personal recommendations to get your vacation started quickly.
This home is not with a management company. It is managed and prepared personally by us, the owners. We personally supervise and assist our cleaning staff each Saturday. As the last to walk out the door prior to your arrival, we can assure you the Sun & Moon is one of the most immaculate and best-prepared homes on Captiva, both inside and outside.
We accept only Saturday to Saturday reservations, as is the standard on Captiva Island. We accept reservations no further than a year in advance, as current guests have the first option to reserve the same week the following year. If the guests do not re-book by 10 am of their departure day, a new reservation request may be accepted.
We also personally own and manage our smaller Mermaid House, VRBO 3506022, a classic Captiva cottage-style home. You are assured of a perfectly prepared house, both inside and out, as we're the last to leave the house before you arrive.
Make your reservation today before your desired week is taken.

We loved our stay at Sun and Moon. The beds were comfortable, the pool was a great temp and very relaxing. Great location - whether it be the short walk to the beach, or the restaurants and stores just around the corner from the house. Larry has thought of everything to make the stay perfect at his place and was extremely responsive to any questions.
We normally rent on Sanibel so this was the first time for us staying on Captiva. The house was perfect for our family (3 couples and a baby). The location to the beach is ideal and the property offers everything you need for a week in the sand. Larry was easy to work with which always makes a VRBO a great experience.
Larry was a great host. My son left his wedding ring behind and Larry was kind enough to mail it to us. House is in a great location. Short walk to beach, restaurants and souvenir store. Kitchen is equipped with most everything you need to cook. Pool is added bonus. We had a good time during Christmas week.
Amazing property. The owner is absolutely fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for the week. Within walking distance to everything in Captiva and close to the beach. Book with confidence
This property had absolutely everything you could ask for in a vacation house. Very peaceful location but the beach is close enough to walk to. Larry the owner was very nice and quick to respond to any questions we had. All in all a very happy experience.
From the time we arrived, Larry was communicative and helpful. The location was perfectly located - easy walk to the beach, to get ice cream, or to the Island store. And the house had everything we needed. Check out tasks were the easiest of any VRBO we have stayed in. We hope to be back again next year!
This property really is in an excellent location. The beach is about 5 minutes and is located away from resorts, so you have lots of space. Dining and shopping are right around the corner, literally! We drove to Sanibel for larger grocer
House was the perfect size, pool was well used and loved daily, plenty of beach equipment to use, house was well furnished, and owner communicated quickly and resolved any questions or issues. Highly recommended!
The 6 of us had a great time celebrating the new year and a birthday. Location is as good as any in Captiva, easy walk to the beach, restaurants, store and even the Farmers Market. We had everything we needed for a great stay.
Outstanding stay! Larry was so accommodating from the minute we got there until the day we left. Short walk to the beach and the wagon was great for taking beach chairs and umbrellas to the beach. Would definitely recommend!!
Everything is as pictured and described. We grilled by the pool most nights for dinner. Quick walk to the beach, very easy for families with young kids. Would love to come back!
We have rented many vacation homes over the years. Our stay at the Sun and Moon House was the best experience we have had. House is wonderful and has everything you need. Location can’t be beat. Larry is very easy to work with. It was a great week in a great house.

Ralph and his family were first time guests, and as I got to the house early to start outside preparations for incoming guests, I was fortunate to meet them prior to their departure. They were great guests! It's always gratifying to get 5-star reviews that reflect our efforts in personal management of both our Sun & Moon House and our smaller Mermaid House.
Larry & Debbie Hahn, Owners
This place was great. The host was personally onsite making sure everything was ready for our stay. It came with everything you need for a day at the beach. Beach cart, umbrellas, chairs, coolers, etc. Easy walk to restaurants and island grocery.
We so enjoyed our stay at Sun & Moon! The property is immaculate and very well equipped. The location is perfect and only a short walk to the beach and the Captiva town center with shopping and restaurants. A beach cart is provided to hold everything you need - beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cooler all there for your enjoyment. The heated pool was lovely also and so relaxing. Loved our stay!!
The Sun and Moon is a lovely home with great gathering areas inside and out! The location has to be the best on the island - walking distance to most every restaurant and the beach. A short golf cart ride away from anywhere else on the island. Larry is the perfect host! We will be back:-)!!!
The Sun and Moon House was perfect for our family. The pool was wonderful. The short walk to beach was easy with wagon and chairs provided. Everything we needed was provided. Larry responded quickly to my questions.

Great house/location
The house was beautiful. The location to beach/restaurants was perfect! The home had everything you could need and more.
Larry calls to see how everything is going. That’s great service. Clean house!

As much as we love our repeat guests, it's always wonderful to have new guests like Craig and his family. They left the house so easy for us to prepare for our incoming guests after their departure and we anticipate a return visit in the future!
The house was clean, exactly what we needed for a week, and close to all restaurants on the island plus a private beach area within 0.2 miles which was a nice walk.
Only thing I’d have to comment on was 1 of the bathroom’s showers was a little tight. Getting into and out of the shower was awkward.

About the host
Hosted by Larry Hahn, Owner
We live in the area and personally maintain our two very popular beach vacation rental homes, the Sun & Moon and the smaller 2 bedroom, 2 bath Mermaid Pool House (perhaps the most popular rental house on Captiva), to provide maximum attention to detail. We don't leave the house for a management company as most owners do. We really think our homes are the two best prepared on the island, regardless of rental cost!
In addition to being part of the preparation team each Saturday, Larry and Debbie are also Licensed Florida Realtors.
Why they chose this property
Captiva is a boutique type Island, often compared to Aruba without the wind, or Hawaii without the volcanos. Captiva is a tropical Carribbean style island and looks nothing like the rest of Florida. The Sun & Moon is centrally located on the beach side of the village center area. There are no streets to cross between our house and the beach.
What makes this property unique
For some it's the immaculate preparation of the house and pool, for others it's the style of furniture always kept fresh, perhaps the great Bluetooth compatible audio system with inside and poolside speakers, or perhaps the HDTV w/DVR in the living room and LCD TVs in each bedroom. Some just love the unique beach cart we assembled with special oversize balloon tires. It's easy to haul all our beach chairs, umbrella and ice cooler to the beach with this handy cart. And our large top floor furnished sun & moon deck is always well used in the day for a great tan or star gazing on a clear Captiva night.
