Everything’s better at the beach. Book your weeks today !

Fabulous location on sought-after, shell-lined Laika Lane in the heart of quaint Captiva Village with marinas, restaurants, bistros, art galleries and live music. Dancing Dolphin is an absolutely charming 4 bedroom, 3 bath vacation beach home. And best of all, you’re just steps from the Gulf of Mexico!

Newly painted home - inside and out - splashes of color are surrounded by lush, tropical landscaping that incorporates native plants. New front stairs lead to the main living level or,
if needed, utilize the outdoor elevator. Three bedrooms are on the main living floor while the fourth is on the lower level adjacent to a quiet office. Dancing Dolphin has all new beach chic decor – even the bedrooms are named and themed in a nod to Captiva's rich, environmental heritage.

A large, fully appointed kitchen is immediately adjacent to open living and dining rooms with vaulted ceilings with a large screen TV. Relax on the screened in porch/lanai directly off the living area that overlooks the lush backyard. The lanai also has a large screen TV. A completely rehabbed game room is on the lower level with a pool table, ping pong, foosball, magnetic darts, flat screen TV – plenty of room for all! Or step outside and enjoy outdoor games like giant Connect 4, corn hole, ladder toss and bocce and the BBQ grill.

Amazing location

This is a gem of a house in an amazing location. Our group of 9 (4 adults, 5 kids including 3 teens) loved it. The downstairs space worked great for the kids though may not work if your children are young. The beach access is amazing. The town is quiet and fun. We are strongly considering coming back.

Dancin dolphin is a great spot

Location is perfect for beach and Restaraunts. Had all the needed beach equipment and the kitchen was fully stocked. Grill worked great. Game room on bottom floor was great for teens. Plan on being inside in Captiva after 10. Noise ordinance is strictly enforced. Great town. Great beach.

Recent stay Dancing Dolphin

Dancing Dolphin is in a perfect location to do anything in Captiva. It is situated on a quiet private lane and exceptionally close to the beach-wagons are provided to get your stuff there with ease. The property manager was extremely communicative. The first day we had a couple questions and someone came out promptly. The house was spotless, clearly recently painted bright cheerful pastels. The place is a bit quirky but easy to figure out. Note that the downstairs bedroom/office are accessible from the outside only-there are no stairs within the house to reach it. The porch/lanai is terrific and quickly became our favorite spot to relax, read, or watch TV.
