Spacious beautiful home with well appointed kitchen

This home is spacious, beautifully decorated and perfect for a large family. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals. The pool, pool table, hammock, golf cart and other amenities make rest and relaxation a breeze. The home is a short walk to a private gated beach entrance. All this said, families should be aware the island was ravaged by a hurricane a year ago, and may houses are uninhabitable or under construction. Debris and construction supplies border many of the roads. We lost power for 8 hours one day, and we were told it was related to construction in the area. You should also be prepared to cook most, if not all, meals. Only 2 restaurants are open in the island, and 1 of those only on Saturday/Sunday. Highly suggest the Over the Waterfront restaurant. We were primarily there for the beach, so it worked great for us, but if the beauty of the overall island is important to you, be advised.

Family Vacation

Gulf Swells and Seashells is a beautiful house close to the beach. It was very clean and we were so comfortable there. The Tortuga Properties people were responsive and did their best to make our stay relaxing and care free. The island is obviously not back to normal after hurricane Ian but they are getting there. We were a little confused as to what kind of places were available to eat at and luckily we were prepared to fix our own meals. The grocery delivery service made that very easy for us. We had a great, relaxing trip and enjoyed visiting North Captiva.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Cindy Matzek

From Kansas Heartland to Captiva's Shores: Our Island Journey

We're a spirited family from Kansas, driven by fun and a thirst for adventure! Back in 2008, during a family getaway, we were captivated by the enchanting beauty of Captiva, Florida's islands. The flat landscapes of Kansas gave way to the allure of the ocean. Fast forward three years, and our heartland spirit led us to owning a stunning home on Captiva, cherished both as our personal haven and a rental delight.

In 2018, a desire for a slower pace prompted us to seek anew. Enter 2019, and the quest brought us to Upper Captiva, where we discovered our haven, Gulf Swells & Sea Shells. Countless summers have etched memories into our kids' hearts on these very shores. The joy of collecting diverse shells on the beach is a shared family delight. And oh, the thrill of boating and fishing while surrounded by captivating wildlife – it's a sight to behold!

From heartland to island, our journey continues, and we invite you to experience the beauty and simplicity of these shores with us.

Why they chose this property

We decided on Gulf Swells & Sea Shells due to its size, 5 bedrooms 5 baths, wonderful open floor plan, high ceilings, Ocean views and its location on the beach. We are Literally a few steps away to all the amazing sand, shells and beautiful waters of the gulf of Mexico. We love North Captiva's laid back atmosphere, Golf Cart commuting and state park.

What makes this property unique

Step into coastal luxury at Gulf Swells & Sea Shells, where a stunning transformation was completed in January 2021. This newly remodeled haven invites you to experience an extraordinary vacation.

Nestled perfectly by the beach, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom gem offers an oasis of relaxation. Take a dip in the private heated pool, unwind in spaces designed for comfort, and let the island breeze whisk your worries away. Accommodating up to 10 guests, it's a perfect escape for family and friends.

Arriving at Gulf Swells & Sea Shells is effortless, thanks to the provided 2018 four-seat golf cart, enhancing your island adventure. What's more, this well-protected and elevated lot ensures fewer stairs inside and out compared to other island homes.

Now, here's the real gem: a rare feature among North Captiva homes, direct gulf views greet you from the second level's kitchen, living room, and master bedroom suite. Feel the soothing waves and gentle sea breeze as you indulge in unparalleled vistas.
