BEACHFRONT, HEATED POOL, KAYAKS/SUP, LANAI W/ GULF VIEWS, 85' DOCK, 2 GOLF CARTS

* ALWAYS CLEANED AND SANITIZED BY A PROFESSIONAL CLEANING SERVICE!!
Welcome to North Captiva Island, a private, bridge-less island accessible only by boat. North Captiva was separated from Captiva Island by a hurricane in 1921 which created Red Fish Pass. The lack of a bridge made development of North Captiva difficult and has resulted in an "Island Paradise", with a feel similar to Florida in the 1940's. North Captiva is noted for uncrowded, un-restored beaches with excellent shelling. The south two-thirds of the Island is a state wildlife area, while the north one-third is lightly developed with homes. "Island Time" is observed once you step off the boat onto the island!

Please do not miss Gulf Dreams' drone video. You can access it in our pictures. Many of our pictures are reproductions of comments and drawings Gulf Dreams' guests have left in our Guest Book.

IMAGINE... a beach vacation at a house that’s like your very own luxury beach resort called Gulf Dreams on-the-beach. The deed to this beach house states that the property’s west boundary is the Gulf of Mexico. The house has 75 feet of private, white sand Gulf beach for your pleasure, easily accessed by the only private, elevated walkway on the island.

IMAGINE... keeping your own or rented boat at Gulf Dreams on-the-beach’s private 85-foot dock (lot is fenced with private, locked entrance, 28 ft boat or smaller only) on a private canal located 1,000-feet east of Gulf Dream's beach house. This dock can also be used for fishing.

You will be greeted upon your arrival on North Captiva by Gulf Dream's manager. Our manager will transport you and your luggage and groceries to Gulf Dreams (unless you requested the kitchen be pre-stocked), will familiarize you with Gulf Dreams amenities, as well as the island, and will be a phone call away during your stay to meet your needs.

IMAGINE... a secluded beach house four stories tall accessed by a long, landscaped driveway providing privacy from golf cart traffic and neighboring houses.

IMAGINE.. a bright and airy 4-story beach house with vaulted ceiling heights of 10 to 14 feet throughout, 2 large screened-in lanais with expansive views of the pool and Gulf of Mexico (one where you can eat all your meals outdoors, the other where you can play ping-pong and board games).

IMAGINE... a large, 4th-floor master suite, with spectacular 360-degree views of the Gulf and bay sides of the island, a gourmet, fully equipped kitchen with granite counters and high-end appliances, travertine and granite bathrooms.

IMAGINE... having privately-owned heated swimming pool and pool-side gazebo located on a beach dune, surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation.

IMAGINE... the only private, raised walkway that provides access to Gulf Dream's private beach while assuring complete privacy for the pool and Gulf Dreams.

IMAGINE... your own 12 beach chairs and 3 umbrellas, 4 kayaks (4 single) and 2 SUP paddle boards make going to the "island" (an exposed sandbar) 1/3 mile offshore a great family shelling adventure. Two golf carts are provided. Volleyball equipment provided for entertainment on Gulf Dream's beach.

If you’re looking for a tropical island paradise, this is it! The house, island, and host were amazing! We felt well taken care of the entire time we were there. It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with almost everything you’ll need for cooking, relaxing, and enjoying the beach, pool, and the island in general. We cooked large meals every night and never felt like we were hurting for anything. The beach is super private…we only saw a handful of other people during the entire week we were there, which is refreshing after visiting other beaches in the area. We will be back!!!

We had a great time in the home. The kitchen offered everything we needed to cook for the week, there was plenty of space to relax, the pool was stocked with floaties and toys for kids, and we had everything we needed for a day at the pool. The island had great ice cream and we really enjoyed the home.

The house and property exceeded expectations. Kitchen was well stocked and has everything you would need for preparing meals for a week. The pool was clean and warm which the kids used every day. The golf carts provided are like new and great for getting around the island. We used the grocery order service mid week and had everything the next day, very convenient. I would highly recommend staying at this location, you wont be disappointed.

Wonderful Beach Vacation

We stayed at Gulf Dreams during the first week of April! We had wonderful warm weather and greatly enjoyed the heated pool and easy access to the beach. We had 4 adults and 4 teenagers and the layout out of the house was perfect for our group. The kitchen was well equipped and we ate most meals at the house. Pre-ordering the groceries was the way to go! Great communication with the property manager. The house was very clean. Highly recommend!

Great location & plenty of room & beautiful sunsets!

Great house, lots of room… main living area is 3rd floor, so plenty of exercise… kitchen is small but has all you need…ice makers being repaired, but we were supplied with plenty of ice from owner. The area is nice and open, bar area, extra refrigerator, two tables.. great patio spaces on all floors… screened in patios great for gathering and watching sunrises and sunsets. Easy walkway to beach… great chairs for beach sitting… spent afternoons at pool. Shalley’s.. the mgmt company was great at arrival and departure and for shopping before we got there and during our stay. Any minor issues we had were addressed immediately. The only recommendations I have is a small vacuum for the pool…(my kids enjoyed it anyway) and I’d have loved an elevator… but I guess the 20 step climb to the deluxe master suite was good exercise! We would definitely stay there again.

We loved Gulf Dreams!

We just returned from our first trip to North Captiva. It was really windy a good portion of our trip so the beach was rough. Luckily, Gulf Dreams had everything we needed. The kitchen is stocked better than any VRBO we’ve ever stayed at, the house was extremely clean and the pool was outstanding. (Highlight of the trip for my youngest kids.) There was more than enough room for our family of seven. The gulf view from the master bedroom really can’t be beat. We will certainly go back to North Captiva and Gulf Dreams will be our first pick of places to stay.

Nice and quiet get away!

Loved it all! The weather was a little off but the house is stocked with plenty of games and puzzles for all ages and with the beach right in the backyard we could do plenty of shell hunting. All ages loved it. The only thing I would change (and this is strictly a personal preference due to a bad bedtime habit of needing noise) I would love a TV in the master bedroom. Dumb I know! We had a blast and enjoyed every minute. Be sure to bring/order all the groceries you will need because the only store on the island is hit and miss although we found all but eggs when in need. Thanks for the hospitality — hope to be back!!

Magical

This property is absolutely magical ! We had a group of 12. One 14 month old, 2 teens and the rest adults. They had something for everyone to do. The privacy, the location the access to the beach, the sunsets, the pool… everything was amazing. The had everything I needed for my baby which was so nice and convenient that I didn’t need to bring things like high chair or crib. The only complaint I have is a septic issue/smell in one of the king bed rooms that was never resolved while on our trip but I am sure that will be looked into. My mother had that room so she was not very happy. Otherwise I would 1000% stay here again. My whole family has been dreaming about going back since we left and we have talked about coming here every single year. Ps. The manager was very sweet as well!

Great Thanksgiving family get together in a beautiful home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday week together with all of our kids and grandkids. This was the perfect spot! The house had all we needed- king sized beds for all the adults, a warm heated pool, direct access to a beautiful, quiet beach, great shelling, a well equipped kitchen for all our family meals, a big screen TV for football games, 2 golf Carts to Get around the island (a Favorite activity for our little ones!) and an amazing view of the ocean from the house. This was our first time To Captiva and we loved it. It does take some planning in regards to transportation and food planning, but the quiet, unhurried atmosphere on the island makes it worth all the planning! Unfortunately there are still homes that need repair from the hurricane, but they are obviously working hard to get everything back in shape. Gulf Dreams was in great shape. Beautiful new landscaping around the pool. Ally, the property manager was Great. She arranged for us to be picked up at the dock with all our food and coolers and responded quickly to any questions or small issues that needed to be addressed. Thank you, Wendell and Karen, for sharing your lovely home With us. It was enjoyed by all!

Amazing Home & Location

This house is amazing and the island is a truly unique and beautiful place. I would highly recommend it for anybody looking for a relaxing vacation. The kids absolutely loved the pool, the beach was pristine and private, and the owners of the house thought of everything that vacationers would need. We had a blast taking the golf carts around the island too. We utilized the service to stock our house with food and drinks and we were so happy we did. To walk into your vacation home already containing all of what you need is a really valuable add on. We also hired a chef and we wanted to make sure to include his name here as he was awesome. Shout out to Chef Bo! While there are certainly homes in the area that have not yet recovered from the hurricane, Gulf Dreams is not one of them and I would highly recommend staying there!!

Our Vacation

We had a wonderful vacation at this property, Gulf Dreams, on North Captiva Island. The owner was extremely nice and very accommodating. The island had been hit pretty hard from the hurricane but the house looked amazing. They had done all new landscaping around the house and pool that looked very pretty. The house itself was very clean and had been freshly painted, and also had some new decor that really made the place look awesome. The managers Sean and Ally, were on top of everything, helping with anything we needed. There were 10 of us staying, 6 adults and 4 kids, and the house fit us all perfectly, we didn't even use the bedroom on the lower level of the house. We were there 7 days and cooked all our own meals there except for one night out. The kitchen was beautiful and very well equipped, we even made our own ice cream one night. We grilled out every night and the deck had 2 tables that fit us all nicely. Inside we all fit very comfortably in the living room area and at the tables inside as well. The mattresses are new and very comfortable as well. The pool was heated, it was warm upon our arrival which was great! Also the walk way to the beach was extremely nice to have. The beach itself is beautiful and we used all the equipment the house offers and had the best time at the beach! The sunsets were gorgeous, it was amazing. I believe Gulf Dreams is truly the best house on North Captiva Island to stay at, it is beautiful, we loved it, we will go back!!

Family vacation

I am not one to write reviews, but felt the need to write one in hopes of helping those who might consider renting this house. I know the hurricane took a toll on the island 10 moths ago and that it will take time to repair all of the damage, and I am so sorry this has happened. If there was more transparency with the condition of the house after the hurricane, like updated photos on Vrbo and a note about the progress of renovating the house ( when new screens and roof will be put on, replacing all the rusty nails, and replacing broken wires on balcony railing, etc.), we would’ve been more understanding of the condition of the house when we arrived…especially with the price you’re paying. *The pictures and description are pre-hurricane, so it’s misleading. A few safety issues: Coconut trees surrounding the pool. One fell off and hit the water feet away from my mother in the pool and another fell off right by my husband on the patio. As a safety hazard, it would seem pertinent to give a warning or have the trees maintained before guests stay there. The wires on balcony railings are either coming off or loose. So don’t let your kids or family lean up against it on the top balcony. The house could’ve been cleaner, esp in the bathrooms (found nail clipping on counter and hair everywhere on “clean” towels and shower). My hope is that this will help fix a few concerns so the next group staying will have a better stay than us. We did enjoy the beautiful view from the balconies

Great stay.

Everything about this place was amazing. The location, the privacy, the views, the beach, and the pool. Plenty of room and the house has everything you need. When we arrived, the pool was broken and the landscaping is wrecked. There is still a ton of debris around the island. The lights downstairs don't work and neither do the appliances but there are plenty of other appliances in the house that DO work. The mosquitoes are HORRENDOUS! So bring bug spray. The property management company fixed the pool on day 3 of our trip. Things we wish we would've known beforehand: 1) There are no cars on the island 2) They charge you 40% to get groceries for you. Get DoorDash or Instacart to deliver your groceries to the marina and go pick them up. It was 1/5th the price. 3) Don't plan on going outside at night. The mosquitoes will carry you away. 4) The island is still a mess after the hurricane. It's not what it once was, but it is getting back there with all the work being done on the island. June 2023

Retirement Celebration Family Vacation

This vacation beach property is in an ideal location. It’s an easy stroll to the beach on a beautiful boardwalk surrounded by foliage. We had an amazing view of stunning sunsets from every floor! The guys charted a fishing excursion with Boats and Fun and caught a small shark and several sea trout. They had an excellent time! The gals went on an amazing boat tour and we saw dolphins and a manatee family! Our family spent hours on the beach looking for sea shells, paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming. We also had hours of fun in the beautiful heated pool. We ordered all kinds of fresh seafood from Boats and Fun which was excellent! Ally was extremely helpful and replied quickly to our texts and got us whatever we needed. Our family had an epic vacation that we will remember and talk about for years!

Best location on the island!

We had a great week as a family! We did have a few issues but the actual owners of property went above and beyond to make it right! Best location on the island!
