The Beauty Of Captiva Island Rentals

In a world full of hectic schedules and concrete jungles, it’s nice to take the time to get away. Vacations can themselves be hectic so why not choose a place meant for leisure and relaxation? The islands of Florida and specifically the Captiva island rentals one can make use of offer just such relaxation.

Captiva Island itself is a barrier island, part of a string of sand islands that protect the shores of Florida off the Gulf of Mexico. Captiva Island used to be a part of its sister island Sanibel, which is located to the south east. During a particularly harsh hurricane, a storm surge washed out the weakest link between the two islands. Over the years this filled in but a dredging project in 2009 helped to recreate what is now called Blind Pass. The Sanibel opportunities for vacationers are joined and yet separate from Captiva island rentals.

The Town of Captiva Island is more of a village and offers a bevy of restaurants and fine dining for vacationers. There are many expected amenities, as well as rental opportunities. Captiva island rentals are often all about time spent outdoors.

Once upon a time in days gone by, the Calusa Indians wandered Captiva and the nearby shores of Florida. Though their treasures are long gone, the mystery of the islands remains. The Captiva island rentals that are available include nature, lunch and sunset cruises, where eager vacationers can view the ocean and sky much the same the natives did once so long ago.

One of the many things that people come to Captiva for is shelling. Walking along the beautiful sandy beaches, one is bound to find shells by the thousands. Shelling is the hobby of inspecting, viewing and collecting sea shells naturally. Young and old can spend hours in the sun exploring to find just the right shell. Another natural hobby often found on Captiva is that of birding or bird watching. Couples and families can use the Captiva island rentals to rent in-line skates or golf carts to cruise around through the cacti and flora, looking for rare birds.

Being outside in Captiva is a wonderful thing, with the sparkling ocean of the Gulf of Mexico just outside the door of one of the many Captiva island rentals or timeshares. Condos, town homes, cottages and villas all wait for the right family to come spend a week, a month, a season. With screened fences and private pools, they offer the ideal setting for holidays and vacations.

Two bedroom rental homes can house six people. Three bedroom homes can house eight people. But this is called the Gold Coast by many the world over and that is because as well as luxury homes for rental, there are also multi-million dollar complexes. These can house fourteen people or more enjoying the peaceful moments found best in island rentals such as Bali Hi.

Captiva offers something for everyone. Tourists can go golfing, parasailing and jet-skiing as well as surfing. However, there is a gentler and more relaxing side to Captiva island rentals as well. Leisure and luxury for the whole family are at hand in warm climates year round.
