Escape to Paradise Beach House

Luxury. Privacy. Ocean Views.
Your dream getaway starts here.

Welcome to Escape to Paradise Beach House! A 4-bedroom, 4-bath island retreat that sleeps 10, offering the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and adventure. Completely remodeled and designed for family fun or a relaxing escape, this home is just steps from the beach on beautiful North Captiva Island.

*Spacious & Stunning

Two master suites offer privacy and comfort, while two additional bedrooms and two family rooms provide plenty of space for everyone. With over 1,200 sq. ft. of deck space, you’ll enjoy open-air living that feels even larger than its 2,100 sq. ft. of interior space.

*Outdoor Living Done Right

Unwind at the new poolside bar with seating for seven, a flat-screen TV, refrigerator, and sink - all just steps from your heated private pool.
Rinse off after a beach day in one of two outdoor showers, then relax with your favorite drink as the sun sets.

*Views & Privacy

Built on a rare double lot, this home offers total privacy and panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico, Pine Island Sound, Cayo Costa, and Captiva. The observation deck is one of the highest points on the island - perfect for breathtaking sunsets and stargazing.

*Fun for Everyone

Challenge your friends to a game of ping pong, cornhole, or ladder golf, or grab a book from the home library for some quiet time.
Two golf carts are included, giving you easy access to the beach, nature preserve, and local wildlife - from manatees and bald eagles to the friendly Gopher Tortoise.

*Modern Comforts

• Reverse Osmosis water system- enjoy pure, crystal-clear water
• Fully equipped kitchen and modern amenities
• High-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and air conditioning

*Island Adventure Awaits

Accessible only by ferry or private boat, North Captiva Island is a hidden paradise — Old Florida at its finest. Just 3 miles off the coast, it’s a peaceful, private world with no cars, no crowds, and no stress.
Travel by golf cart or bike along sandy trails and rediscover a simpler, slower pace of life.

*Getting Here

The nearest airport is Fort Myers (RSW) or Punta Gorda (PGD). From there, enjoy a short drive to the marina and a scenic ferry ride to your tropical escape. Our property team will greet you at the dock, transport your bags, and help you settle in.

Escape to Paradise Beach House -
Where luxury meets tranquility, and every sunset feels like a dream.

Book it! You will not be disappointed!

Our group had the best time! Literally not a single complaint! The house has everything you need as far as utensils, crockpots, 2 golf carts. The pool and down stairs showers were awesome. We found ourselves hanging at the house a lot. Gopher tortoises and iguanas visited regulary. Watched fireworks from the top story. There are three restaurants on the island all have great food. The owner and property management are some of the best I've ever encountered. Our first time on North Cap and we will be back. Only complaint- we didn't stay long enough! Don't wait, book- you will not be disappointed!

Escape to Paradise - Yes, it was !

This is hands down the best property experience in my 20+ years of vacationing in Upper Captiva. Every amenity is in good repair with spacious clean inviting interior with plenty of windows and views of the ocean. We had plenty of games and puzzles, corn-hole (yes!) clean new pool, plenty of privacy with bedroom locations. The kitchen had everything we needed. Very comfortable home! Location is superb.

Fabulous!!

This was our 6th vacation to North Captiva and Escape to Paradise was hands down the best house we have stayed at. The house is very close to the beach access. It was very spacious and bright. Everything was in excellent condition and the kitchen was very well stocked. Beautiful panoramic views from the living room, kitchen and balcony!! Great for a multi-family vacation. I highly recommend this house. We will definitely be returning! Thank you Kim for sharing your home.

Beautiful property

Our group had an amazing time at Escape to Paradise. The house came equipped with everything you would need, including spices, appliances, beach towels, blankets, etc. The only thing to bring is your bathing suit and food! They provide everything! The house was very clean and communication with the property managers was great!

Escape to Paradise it is

Escape to Paradise is the perfect name for this beautiful beach home. Absolutely paradise!! Booking with Sarah was a breeze and the owner, Kim is so very kind! This home is very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for a stress free home away from home vacation. The pool was a great bonus for the whole family and everyone loved zooming around in the open air on the golf carts. Life on the island is magical and what a great time we had with our family at Escape to Paradise.

Renting was easy . Requires planning to get to the island. Used shopper Deb for groceries and alcohol. She did an excellent job. Airline caused major problem. Flight canceled and it took 2 days for the entire party to arrive. Once on island it was excellent.

Fantastic!

I can’t say enough about this property and the property managers and owners. Just a truly awesome experience from the property to the location. We truly had one of the best family vacations we have been on and we have done many. This is for sure one of the top VRBO experiences. Steps away from the beach. Private pool area. Never did I worry about the kids outside or going around the island. So quiet. So relaxing. Some of the best sunrise, sunset, as well as moonrise and moonset experiences on the roof. Great family vacation retreat!

Exceeded our expectations

This is a beautiful, well-cared for property with WONDERFUL sunset views (sunrise too if you climb up to the crows nest). It is so close to the main beach, yet on a quiet street. We were celebrating my father's 80th birthday with 10 people including 4 teenagers and we could not have picked a more perfect place! We had clear, responsive communication with house manager Ally & Brian who picked us up. There was plenty of room for our families to be together or find our own space - the screened in porch is HUGE. All 4 bedrooms are on the same floor with 3 full baths and a handy 4th bath near the kitchen. The game closet was well-stocked, so was the kitchen with equipment and we enjoyed the margarita machine! The pool was comfortably warm & big enough for adults/teens to lounge around or little ones to play. (Older elementary kids or true swimmers would need to hit the club.) It was handy to have 2 golf carts - but they are rather slow (people passed us ALL the time). The bunk room did get a bit warm/stuffy with 4 teens -- if they were comfortable everyone else was cold. We compromised by running AC an hour or two in the evening. It would have been very nice to have a 10am check-out. However, we were able to hang out at the club until we had to be to the dock. Brian made sure our bags were ready for the later ferry. It all went so smoothly!

It truly was an escape to paradise!

The property was great, with enough room to spread out but not so much that you get lost. The downstairs bar, grill, and pool area were perfect and where we spent most of our evenings. We were also able to secure a boat slip nearby so we didn't have to deal with the logistics of shuttles to and from the Island or when we wanted to get out and about.

Escape to Paradise is the best home for an amazing vacation!

Escape to Paradise is everything you see in the pictures and more! We had 8 adults and everyone was extremely comfortable. There is so much room to gather as a group or get away by yourself. All of the bedrooms have comfortable mattresses, plenty of pillows and blankets. The bedrooms are located on the first floor allowing for people to sleep in or read a book peacefully. When you enter the second floor be prepared to be in awe of the beautiful sunrises, sunsets and the gulf view itself. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook any type of meal. If you travel with a big group, we do suggest you bring plenty of water bottles as sometimes the filter cannot keep up with everyone filling up their water bottles. We didn’t mind because that is just part of island living. If you want to watch TV, there is a TV in every room of the home. There is also a library of books with some great choices. The laundry room has a full size washing machine and dryer which come in handy after a week of beach and outside fun. The pool was also delightful to cool off after coming back from a boat ride or a walk to the beach. The walk to the beach is easy, taking no more than a few minutes, or a very quick golf cart ride. We enjoyed the ping pong table, corn hole, closet of games and puzzles and the floats at the pool. The bar area downstairs is perfect for evening entertainment and enjoyed by everyone in our group. There are beach chairs and beach towels too so you do not have to worry about bringing your own. Sheldon Denny, the turtle, lives right beside the staircase leading from the bar/pool area to the first floor of the house. Barnacles is a great restaurant on the island and has so many choices for everyone’s tastebuds! Upstairs above Barnacles you can buy island merchandise, ready to bake pizzas, sunscreen, and ice cream. We ran out of time to try Mangos or use the North Captiva club amenities but saw so many others enjoying both! It is a very relaxed, very “chill’ environment, no need for any dress up clothes. We highly recommend visiting Cabbage Key by boat too, it was so much fun! We cannot wait to come back to North Captiva, it was truly the most relaxing, safe, and comfortable environment. We will most definitely be staying at Escape to Paradise when we return!

Fantastic place and experience!

Everything about the house was as advertised. A short golf cart ride to the beach and about as far a walk to where we spent every day on the beach. The house was clean, bright and well maintained. We spent every morning on the deck drinking coffee and every evening watching the sun go down with a cocktail. The pool was clean and water warm. Having a fridge downstairs by the pool was great, just wish it had an ice maker down there too, got to keep that beer on ice! :) Had the AC go out on the top floor in the afternoon. Contacted the property manager Duncan and the next morning before we went to the beach it was serviced and back running. Tortuga properties did a wonderful job. Picked us up at the dock, dropped us off at the house after a quick tour of the island, walkthrough of the house and reversed the process when we left. I can highly recommend this house and property manager. Had one issue with grocery billing but that was resolved quickly after the vacation was concluded. Also want to send a thank you to Emmy Girl Charters for her boat ride for the four of us and our gear to and from the island. She was great and very punctual.
