About this home

Start each day surrounded by the sights and sounds of island life from this second-floor, one-bedroom, two-bath furnished condo overlooking Pine Island Sound. Sunlight pours through wide sliders that open to a private lanai, where gentle breezes carry the scent of salt air and the call of seabirds. Watch dolphins play and boats drift by—a constant reminder you’re living on island time. Located within the southern enclave of South Seas Resort blends comfort and convenience with an easygoing Captiva lifestyle. Tile flooring throughout creates a cool, carefree atmosphere, while the kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and open sightlines to the bay. The guest bath provides added flexibility for visitors, and the bedroom offers a peaceful retreat after a day in the sun. Owners participating in the Resort Rental Program and Club Captiva enjoy access to full resort amenities, including Sunset Beach, pools, lounges, umbrellas, and chairs for relaxed days along the Gulf—all just a short stroll away. A ground-level storage locker in the 5000 building is perfect for keeping beach gear, SUP, or fishing gear! From this ideal location, it’s easy to enjoy all that Captiva has to offer—bike along palm-lined roads, kayaking through mangroves, or watching the sunset over the Gulf. Explore the island by golf cart, or unwind with cocktails as the sun dips below the horizon. The Bayside Villas community also features a waterfront pool, spa, and under-building parking. 5232 Bayside Villas offers a front-row seat to Captiva’s natural beauty and a laid-back rhythm that makes every day feel like vacation.
