About this home

Authentic Old Florida Island Charm and timeless appeal combine in this beautiful 2-bedroom cottage, offering classic character with thoughtful updates, including a new metal roof installed in 2023. Inside, soaring cathedral tongue-and-groove ceilings, oak floors, and rich pecky cypress walls create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open-concept layout was ahead of its time, featuring a spacious kitchen with a wraparound dining bar that flows into the living and dining areas. All living spaces open to an oversized covered front porch, perfect for relaxed outdoor living. The primary suite features glowing wood finishes and an en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The second bedroom offers dual closets and a cozy nook for more storage or decor, making it ideal for accommodating guests with comfort and style. Below the house, a shady wood deck offers a great space for grilling and entertaining. An adjacent enclosed room houses a full laundry area and extra storage. The landscaped front yard features native plantings and a curving paver driveway. This home enjoys a prime location close to the ferry landing, just a short golf cart ride to both the Gulf's sandy shoreline and the bayside beaches along Pine Island Sound. Boating, fishing, shelling, and island exploration are all easily accessible from this quiet, scenic spot. This charming cottage offers the best of island living—historic style, modern comforts, and one of the best floor plans of a house this size on the island... all in a setting that captures the magic of North Captiva. Whether you're seeking a peaceful getaway, a year-round retreat, or a vacation rental to offset costs while you enjoy the island lifestyle, this is a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of North Captiva's heritage.
