Inside Captiva Island, Florida's Best Vacation Home Rentals

"Just a few doors down, this beachfront villa offers nine bedrooms and 10 bathrooms (many ensuite), with most accommodations featuring balconies that face the ocean or patios that open to the pool; the master suite feels like its own apartment with his-and-her bathrooms, a separate soaking tub and an outdoor shower, and arguably the best beach views in the house. Wood floors and massive windows let in natural light, while outdoor decks are perfect for west-coast sunsets. On-site entertainment includes volleyball, cornhole, frisbee, stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking, a fire pit, a TV room, a pool and hot tub, and a game room stocked with puzzles, board games and an arcade machine. The concierge curated an everything-done-for-you experience—Jamie’s Cuisine provided nightly charcuterie boards, casual dinners and a formal four-course meal that included curried chicken croquettes with Thai basil coconut cream—and organized extras like a private yoga class on the beach and a sunset cruise, making Sea Palms ideal for groups wanting beachfront luxury and turnkey service. Owned by the husband-and-wife team behind Drip Castle Management." - Jessica Poitevien Jessica Poitevien Jessica Poitevien is an international storyteller and regular contributor to Travel + Leisure.
