Parrothead's Paradise - 4 BR House - Private Boat Dock & New Heated Pool

🌴 Parrothead’s Paradise — A Private Island Escape on North Captiva

Welcome to Parrothead’s Paradise, a secluded Key West–style retreat designed for unforgettable outdoor living on car-free North (Upper) Captiva Island.

This spacious 2,300 sq ft home offers water views, a brand-new resort-style heated pool, rooftop deck with panoramic island and Gulf views, loft space, a golf cart, and a boat dock slip — all just a 3-minute walk to the white-sand beach.

🌊 Outdoor Living at Its Best
The heart of the home is the outdoor experience. Relax in the newly built pool featuring heating, cooling, and water features, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and an entertainment area perfect for gathering after a day on the water. Head up to the rooftop deck for sunrise coffee, sunset cocktails, and sweeping island views.

🏡 Comfortable Island Living
Inside, the home offers classic island charm with comfortable, well-maintained interiors. The great room features soaring 13-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and a fully stocked kitchen ideal for shared meals. With four bedrooms, four en-suite bathrooms, a loft, and open living spaces, the home is perfect for families and groups to relax together without feeling crowded.

🏖️ Beach, Wildlife & Island Life
The beach is a short, easy stroll away, and nearby waters are ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding, where guests frequently spot dolphins, manatees, and sea turtles. With no cars, no crowds, and no paved roads, North Captiva offers a rare sense of peace and privacy that keeps guests coming back year after year.

🛍️ Island Conveniences
While intentionally quiet and uncrowded, the island offers a few charming conveniences:
• A general store with coffee, ice cream, grab-and-go food, and essentials
• A souvenir & supply shop with fishing gear, beach items, and island apparel
• Two to three casual waterfront restaurants (seasonal) for nights you’d rather dine out than cook

There are no large grocery stores on the island, so planning ahead is part of the experience — and we’re happy to help.

🚤 Getting Here
Reaching North Captiva is part of the adventure. Guests arrive by scheduled ferry or private water taxi from Pine Island. Detailed arrival instructions and ferry recommendations are provided after booking, and we’re always available to assist with planning.

🏖️ Thoughtfully Stocked
Parrothead’s Paradise is stocked with beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, toys, and games, making it easy to arrive and immediately start enjoying island life.

📝 Additional Notes
• Guests have full access to the home and amenities, excluding the garage and one interior closet reserved for owner storage
• A signed rental agreement is required prior to arrival
• A refundable damage deposit and cleaning/island waste fees apply (outlined clearly before booking)
• Optional grocery delivery and pre-stocking services may be available for an additional fee
- Additional golf carts and boats can be rented for a fee through local service providers.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, authentic island getaway with exceptional outdoor space, stunning views, and easy beach access — Parrothead’s Paradise delivers.

Had a great time, beautiful house and Island.

I will say being to the Island for the first time, Lana made it incredibly easy and was always on call for any need we had. Andrey picked us up and was easy going and let our vacation begin after offering a very informative tour. If I had a question, Lana was back to me within minutes, as promised. What a very cool spot. Thanks to Parrothead Paradise.

Dreamy beach home with all the amenities

Property was perfect for our family. We had three families on the island and we could all gather in our home in the evenings for group meals and games. Lots of space on ground level and on main level. Loved the screened in porch and double french doors into house. We used the ground level bar several times for appetizers while food was being grilled. Beach chairs, umbrellas, floaties, paddle boards, kayak and beach towels were all a huge plus!

Quiet and comfortable.

Through a series of unfortunate events, I ended up alone at the beach for a week. It was delightful. The house is exactly as described, very clean and well stocked. Great location to a very quiet beach. Just what this tired mom needed!

Simply The Best!

I wish there were 10 stars! This property is amazing! This was our second year at NCI and at Parrothead’s Paradise. It is such a comfortable, well-appointed home. We really hate to leave it to go to the beach or explore the island. My son and his GF had brought a lot of fresh lemons from their tree at home. Erika was astounded to find an electric juicer in the kitchen!! Beds are super comfortable and secluded so if part of the gang is up playing games or watching ballgames, you don’t have to worry about the noise keeping you up. One of our favorite features is a dining table that seats all of us! Cooks never feel cut off from the action in the large living/dining/kitchen space. The screen porch that spans the width of the house is dreamy. Property manager Lana is a great communicator. The golf cart went kaput our next to last day. Lana responded immediately and had the problem resolved within an hour. This home has beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand building tools - everything you could possibly need or want at the beach-all in addition to the sea kayak and 2 paddle boards. We love the location. 5 min walk to the beach, easy walk to Mainstay or NCIC. We took advantage of the free bikes offered thru the club. It is the most perfect vacation house we have ever rented. Can’t wait to return.❤️❤️

About the host

Host profile image
Having traveled the world for business, Upper Captiva Island has always truly been our way of slowing down and enjoying the beauty of private island living.

Why they chose this property

Ever since we first came to Upper Captiva Island we immediately fell in love with its natural beauty, wild life, and its pristine beaches. On a boat you can experience the true old Florida lifestyle at its best.

What makes this property unique

There are not many places in the world where you can experience the benefits of slowing down the pace and enjoy life at its finest.
North Captiva is a private residential community featuring secluded beaches and a respite from the crowds. Part of the Lee Island Coast in Southwest Florida, North Captiva's access is provided by private water charters, scheduled public ferry service, and a private airstrip. Golf carts and bikes are the only form of transportation on the island, keeping the environment pristine. The island has 5 miles of white, sandy beaches and offers outstanding shelling. ¾ of the island is an undeveloped 700-acre state land preserve - perfect for a day of hiking and exploring to turn up undiscovered treasures. The island also features dining, shopping and private club facilities.
