4 Bedroom House in North Captiva, Upper Captiva

Welcome to SEA LA VIE beach house, your luxurious home away from home at the shore. Our private 4 bedroom beach house offers fantastic panoramic views of the water with a spectacular & pristine swimming beach. Enjoy the gentle surf while relaxing on the sugar sand bayside beaches and watch the dolphins frolic just offshore.
No need for dolphin excursions when you get them daily from your beach! You have a serene shallow beach front with sparkling white sand to claim as your own, snorkel from, and search for shells. Lots of starfish hangout in this area and you can see them dusting the bottom below you. Just steps from the house is the perfect setting for the best beach vacation ever. When you are done on the beach, jump in the golf cart and ride over to the North Captiva Island Club. Included in your stay, you have access to two pools, hot tub, pool bar ( you pay for your personal consumption) tennis, basketball court, kayaks, paddle boards, fat tire bikes and more. Spend time on your beach or go socialize with other islanders. We also have of 2 single kayaks that are just for our property and allow you to launch right from our private beach on a whim.
SEA LA VIE is a tropical island paradise located on North Captiva, just 3 miles offshore, part of the Lee Island Coast Barrier chain. North Captiva Island is only accessible by conveniently scheduled ferry boats or with private water taxi. Just note that if you are driving, you will park your vehicle in one of the secured ferry lots before boarding the delightful short ferry ride over to the island. You will see lots of birds and sea life on your trip over. If you are lucky, you will even catch a dolphin or two in the wake.
This private island community is one of a kind. Quaint sandy trails and roads lead you around the island with tropical plants and palm trees lining both sides, you will feel as if you have been whisked away to another world. Here you find no cars or city noise. Explore the island by golf cart and bikes. Two golf carts are provided for your use and will be waiting when you arrive, along with a personal concierge to assist you with your luggage and get you set up for a perfect week (or more) in paradise. We have a property manager on island to assist when you have a need, but as the Owner, I directly engage with all of our guests. Pre-arrival, I send out a planning packet. You do not have to worry about the logistics of figuring out how to get from the airport to a ferry, groceries and more… we have a simple, step-by-step guide with easy to follow and trusted partners to make your vacation perfect. I work hard to make sure our guests that stay in our home have all their questions answered and feel prepared to arrive without stress. My goal is to make this as easy as possible for you and your family.

Summary: Excellent place to stay with something for all ages. We had a wonderful time -right on the beach. The owner was great in helping organize every step of the trip to have it go smooth. Her personal contact was great and thoughtful. The house is beautiful and everything thought of that we could want. It was unanimous that we want to return! By far the best vacation rental we have stayed at. Thank you to the family for sharing their home!

Summary: It was more than you imagine. With a 4 year old, the water was not the big breaking waves were perfect for him to sit and play and he was able to interact with the adults. The house was beautiful. It was clean, and had anything you would need. The owner contacted us on Tuesday to make sure all was good. It does take some planning to get there and getting groceries there. The property managers are really helpful with helping get what you need. Our family would definitely stay again.

Summary: Our stay was exceptional! Leslie provided excellent planning tools well ahead of our arrival and was quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay! The house is beautiful, spacious, clean and packed full of amenities for a comfortable stay. During our stay, Shally’s Seashells property management was so helpful and responsive and such a great resource for our group! It is just footsteps off the deck to a private beach and the daily dolphin and manatee sightings was a special treat. We would love to visit the North Captiva Island Sea La Vie home again!

Summary: We all had a fantastic, relaxing vacation! We were two families with adult kids and could not have asked for more. The beachfront location was perfect, the amazing home had everything we could possibly need and more. The great communication from Leslie, the home owner throughout the booking and leading up to our stay was spot on!Leslie alleviated all the stress of traveling to the island. She offered a variety of options and recommendations for transportation to/from the airport, how to purchase groceries to ensure they get delivered to the island and things to do during our stay. The house had everything anyone would need. It was very clean, had plenty of room for everyone and very comfortable for all of us. The private beach right at the house was great and we soaked up the sun, relaxing there each day watching the dolphins and manatees go by. We took in incredible sunrise views from the beach at the house and headed to Sunset beach across the way to catch the beautiful sunsets as well! I can’t say enough wonderful things about our trip to capture it all. I highly recommend the location, the home and Leslie Cowan, who you can trust will ensure you’re well informed of everything you’ll need to know before spending a week on North Captiva Island. Wishing I could score this with at least 10 stars!!!!

Summary: This was our first time using VRBO and unfortunately the places we stay at in the future will have a hard time living up to the standard that Leslie set at Sea La Vie. She started by including all the information we could possibly need to make our trip there, and stay, as seamless as possible. And truly, it couldn’t have gone any smoother. Then there’s the house, location, and all the amenities. It was beyond all of our expectations. Our family of seven, including 5 adults and two young children had ample space and enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen. My daughter claimed she has never slept so good because of the mattress and pillows in her room. The house is beautifully and artfully decorated with a convenient layout. We loved the convenience of the 2 golf carts and used the kayaks. Our favorite part, though, was the location. We were right on the beach, and literally had it to ourselves for all but one day of our stay. And boy were we entertained daily. Dolphins swam and played sometimes only about 5 yards from the shore. We had a heron regularly visit and the Ospreys entertained us by trying to build a nest on the neighbor’s air conditioning unit. We also saw enormous iguanas (One my granddaughter named Mango because he was orange and green),and shelled to our hearts content. We also spotted many starfish and even a puffer fish in the seaweed. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and Leslie and Ally were so helpful with everything!!

Summary: I’ve been traveling to North Captiva for many years and this is one of the best properties I’ve stayed at. The house is beautiful, very carefully maintained, and provided ample accommodations for our entire family, adults and children alike. This would also be a great place for a first time visitor to North Cap because of the knowledge the host, Leslie, openly shares to help make your trip more enjoyable. Planning for and traveling to North Captiva is more involved than a standard beach vacation, but Leslie was there to provide excellent recommendations every step of the way. From car services and ferry schedules, to food and drink recommendations, anything and everything you can think of, Leslie had it covered. Her communication was excellent before, during and after the trip. We highly recommend Sea La Vie for your next vacation!

Summary: The house and location are beautiful. We rode the golf cart around the island daily and went to mangos for ice cream several times while we were there. My husband and sons caught tons of fish while my daughter and I explored with the kayaks or laid out in the sun. Communication with the owner (Leslie) was wonderful. She contacted me about a month prior to our vacation and kept in contact with me throughout. She answered all of my questions and even ordered a game I had asked about and had it at the house for our stay! North Captiva is definitely somewhere we will go again and it was one of our favorite family vacations
