About this property

FREE golfcart and bicycles, Perfect location, 5 star reviews, beautiful home !

Lazy Palm is back and beautiful. We all went through a lot after hurricane Ian , then there was Helene and Milton, but Lazy Palm is back better than ever. You will definately be in a totally, like new home. I was in Lazy Palm 3 days after the hurricane, traveling back and forth by boat just to start doing everything I could to keep the property safe. It was quite an experience.
Lazy Palm has been brought back to its original beauty, with some things even better, and the home still offers all of the great features that it always had. The golf cart has been totally refurbished and the bicycles are new along with most everything else. New carpet, newly painted, a lot of new furniture, and decor will make you feel like you are in a new property.

With nearly 5,000 square feet of living space, this newly renovated, inside and out, (after the hurricane) luxury home has plenty of 'Island Living' space for everyone.

The large wrap around decks and the 4th level 'Crows Nest', with a 360* view of the island ,are a favorite for guests and are just some of the bonuses this fabulous home has to offer. Bayfront views of the intercoastal waterway are endless! Rise early for breathtaking sunrises or relax and watch the boats and dolfphins cruise by!

The 4+ bedrooms are spacious, comfy ,and all feature custom heavenly beds. All bedrooms have LCD TV's with cable, private bathrooms and access to the outside decks with awesome views.

A beautiful open floor plan makes a great space with the living room, dining area and a large beautiful modern kitchen with a wrap around breakfast bar for entertainment.

Open the doors to the lanai and dine or relax overlooking the large patio area with a heated pool and spa. All screen enclosed for beautiful year-round enjoyment. Sun, swim, dine or relax in this great space.

The large recreation room off of the pool area features a LCD TV with cable, a 12 foot shuffleboard table, a foosball table, a bar area with seating, a queen sleeper sofa, and a large full bath. An elevator services all floors for your convenience.

Beautifully landscaped and decorated with a lot of love by the owner, Lazy Palm is perfectly located in the 'Village Area'. You are truly a block from everything. The beach, shopping, dining, waters ports, a gym and more, but on a quiet little street with views of the bay and only a 5-6 minute walk to the beach!

Lazy Palm has everything you could want for the perfect island vacation!!

Lazy Palm consistantly receives only 5 star reviews.

Family Spring Break on Captiva Island

We had an awesome vacation with our family. Lazy Palms was the perfect place to stay. Its location is a on quiet street with close proximity to the Beach and Island General Store, and Betty Bops ice cream, coffee & sandwich shop. We enjoyed the crow nest which we sat and had coffee every morning to watch the sunrise.The house provided lots of space for the nine of us. We appreciated the elevator as one family member uses a wheel chair. It gave her access to all levels in the house. What can we say about the pool, it was awesome, swimming morning, afternoon and night time. Access to the golf cart was the cherry on top shuttling everyone to beach to watch the sunset each night. Our family gives Lazy Palms and Captiva Island a 10 out of 10. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!The Drake’s From Minnesota & Nebraska

Excellent home and location on Captiva

We absolutely loved this home and location for our family vacation. The inside and outside of the home were exactly as pictured (if not better), very well appointed, clean, and comfortable. Loved having the golf cart, beach chairs and other equipment to enjoy our fays at the beach! Great location, can walk to everything in town. Kathy was extremely responsive when we had questions. We would definitely return!

Excellent home close to everything

Beautifully situated close to everything this is a very comfortable home. The pool area was easily spacious enough for our group of 7 and the house itself was in excellent shape (no mean feat considering the recent storms). The property owner was helpful and very responsive to all our questions.

A Fabulous 50th Anniversary

My two children and their families joined us at Lazy Palms to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The house is simply lovely...decorated beautifully and designed so that each family had their own space and yet we were all together. The kitchen, living and dining rooms lend themselves to everyone hanging out, playing games, doing puzzles, playing Ocean Bingo, preparing meals and eating all together. The pool and hot tub are great and we enjoyed watching sunrise and moonrise on the roof-top deck. The beach was a short walk and the golf cart helped us get all of our stuff there easily. The beach was beautiful...great shells and perfect waves for all to enjoy. The shops and ice cream are a short walk as well. The location, the home itself and the beach made for a fabulous 50th anniversary celebration.

Terrific Captiva home

Our family has stayed at Captiva several times so very familiar with properties and homes nearby. This property and location are terrific! The home is exactly as shown on the VRBO site. It is perfect for families. It was spotless when we arrived. The owner Kathy is just great-easily reached and immediately responsive to questions or concerns. The management company Royal Shell is also very helpful. The use of the golf cart is a real bonus- fun and helpful to get around. We hope you enjoy this beautiful home as much as we did with our family.

We really enjoyed our week. The golf cart was awesome. We did have a problem with the A/C upstairs but the rental company sent someone out late at night and he fixed it right away. The pool and hot tub were great and also having the elevator was a wonderful help a well. Great location to everything.

Beautiful home, great location!

We've stayed at the Lazy Palm many times, and we're looking forward to our next visit. We've seen other homes in the area, and the LP is our favorite. The natural light, the pool/lanai, the elevator, the golf cart and such a great location in the village. LP is a great place to relax with family and friends!

Fantastic Week at Lazy Palm

We had a wonderful vacation at Lazy Palm for our spring break. The house was perfect and fit our two families of 5. We enjoyed the easy walk to beach, shops, and restaurants. We also loved the pool, ping pong and access to the golf cart. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed using the grill. Kathy was so attentive to any needs that arose and was a responsive host. We hope to come back to Captiva and the Lazy Palm!

Perfect spring break!

We rented the house for a spring break adventure with another family. The house is beautiful and the location is perfection. We loved the screened in pool and the open floor plan. The host could not have been any more friendly and accommodating. We contacted the rental company for help with a couple of things, and they were so courteous and responsive. The golf cart was so fun and such a great bonus. We love Captiva and will be back!!

Lazy Palm

Lazy Palm is a beautiful house in a great location. Everything was a short walk away; beach, restaurants, stores. We had 7 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. The bedrooms each have their own bathroom, which was a plus. The living area is open and a great gathering spot. Kathy is a very responsive host.

Family trip for New Year’s

Our family stayed a week to bring in the new year together. The house was great- easily accommodating our group of 7 adults. We walked to dinner every night that we ate out- and walked to the grocery (which was surprisingly well stocked- even had a liquor store) for our nights in. We walked and/or biked to the beach as well. Everything was super convenient! We especially loved visiting the Darling Wildlife National Refuge. Great area with something for everyone- shelling, bike paths galore, birding, boating, jet skis, etc. Well stocked house with bikes, golf cart, towels, cooking necessities, etc. Perfect spot to welcome the new year!

Lazy Palm is Paradise!!

This beautiful home is located on Captiva Island just a brief walk to beachside, bayside along with shops and restaurants. This 4 bedroom, 6 bath home has all the bells and whistles. Recently updated exterior & interior is luxurious yet very homey. The elevator takes you to each of the 3 floors, two patios overlook the beautiful pool & spa and up top a crows nest allows you to see spectacular sunrises and sunsets. The first floor has a living room with sleeper sofa, bar, large screen TV & a foosball table just steps away from the pool. It’s easy to get around the island with either the 6 seat golf cart or the many bikes. Don’t miss out on this lovely home away from home. I can’t wait til my next vacation at the Lazy Palm!!

Perfect paradise!

We absolutely loved our stay at Lazy Palm. We were a little worried about the island since the hurricane, but the house was absolutely beautiful! Everything seems brand new and clean. The furniture and beds are very comfy. The pool and jacuzzi were perfect for relaxing in the evening The golf cart and bicycles were our favorite part. We were able to explore the island like locals! The island seems to be coming alive again! We had a wonderful time and will be recommending Lazy Palm to all our family and friends.

My family has been staying on Captiva Island for over 10 years, and Lazy Palm is simply the best. Huge cozy bedrooms with a private bathroom in each, a beautiful elevator, a pool & hot tub from heaven, and the house is fully stocked with everything you'll need. Kathy, the host, is very accessible and made sure to go above and beyond for everything. The location is quiet and super close to everything, and the 6 seater golf cart was awesome to have. For anyone coming with small kids, the house includes a high chair and 2 gates! My family made the best memories at Lazy Palm & we will be re-booking soon! :)

Family vacation!

This was a great time for our family with kids age 6-11. We also had our other family members staying at a house down the street in the area. This house had all the amenities we needed; like go to the beach ride a bike and get around the area on the golf cart. The house also was equipped with the elevator which was extremely helpful for myself and father on the trip who has a physical limitation getting up to the 3rd floor. Thank You for such a great time with our family!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Biggs

Host profile image
I now live in Pigeon Forge Tn. I grew up in Cape Coral (across the river) and have always loved Capitiva. This is like home to me. Weekends as a child were always spent boating to this island with my family. I eventually want to retire in this home so when I decided to build in 2007 I put in all the special features desired in a private home. I hope you enjoy my home as I do!!

Why they chose this property

I chose this location because it has a special place in my heart. It is also one of the most beautiful and unique places I know of. I grew up not far from here and have been coming to Captiva since I was a young girl. It just doesn't get any better than this !

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy a tranquil setting in the 2 & 1/2 story screened in Pool enclosure with a waterfall heated spa. The pool deck is large and has both shaded and sun areas for everyone. The entire first floor is a gameroom with a 12 foot shuffleboard table, foosball table, bar area, family room with large screen LCD television and DVD player, and a full bath. There are also 3 levels of decks offering both shaded and sunbathing areas and even a rooftop sundeck for the ultimate water view.
