About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Approximately 500 feet to beautiful Captiva Beach & private heated pool and spa!

Minor damage from Hurricane Milton have been repaired. The house is 100% ready for guests! Unlike other properties we have a new outdoor kitchen and bar area close to the pool and protected from insects! It is just a short walk to the beautiful white sandy beaches of Captiva. Enjoy the sunset atop the roof deck or prime location to walk to the world famous Bubble Room Family Restaurant or Mucky Duck Restaurant.

The house is located on exclusive Captiva, so you can drive to the home. We have an EV CHARGER located in the garage so bring your electric vehicle!

The home is recently renovated with hard wood floors and tile throughout the house.

Private oasis with stunning pool and spa. Enjoy alfresco dining or relax in the spa, all in the privacy of your backyard.

Our house has bright and inviting interior with modern Florida furnishings on three levels. The top level has two master bedrooms both with king beds and newly renovated en-suite bathrooms. A tropical view is enjoyed from the many windows and porches on this level. One of the masters includes private access to the roof deck. The other master features a day bed with a trundle for additional sleeping spaces in addition to the king four poster bed.

The second level is the main living space which includes a newly renovated kitchen (new sink and quartz counter tops), formal dining room and enough seating for 20 guests to dine at the same time with a formal dining table for 10, a kitchen table for 6 and bar seating for 4. This floor also includes a brand new 75 inch flat screen TV and new living room furniture. Two bedrooms are located on this floor and one has an en suite bathroom with a bathtub. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has both a queen and a twin bed. This level also boasts decks and outdoor living furniture including table and chair sets. Another full bathroom on this level is accessible to the living room. The full size laundry room with washer and dryer is on this floor for convenience as well.

Part of the lower level has a dormitory sleeping area that is accessible from the second floor via a staircase. This lower area has its own separate full bath with shower. It also has two sets of bunk beds with a twin on top and a full size bed on the bottom and a new futon. There is also a game table with chairs, writing space with keyboard and a large flat screen TV. This is a great area for kids/teens to relax and enjoy friends and family after a fun day at the beach.

The entire home has new flooring including tiled bathrooms, hard wood floors in the rest of the main house and tile in the lower level. All of the bathrooms have been updated with travertine tile and new fixtures, new quartz counter tops and vessel sinks as well as stylish brushed nickel faucets.


Follow the lovely path through the tropical garden in the front of the house right and on down to the beach. Beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas and coolers are provided for your enjoyment of the beach. The beach is a short walk down Laika Lane.

The backyard is private with foliage and borders the Rauschenberg estate. Features a pool and spa in a screen enclosure. We are constantly making improvements to the house. One recent example is all new patio furniture and a new water filtration system! Our goal is always improve the house and ensure that every guest enjoys their stay and comes back next year!

Prepare for an unforgettable vacation experience!

Nice but inconsistent stay
Were different aspects rated individually, we would assign '10' to the owner. He was impressively responsive and kind. Lovely to deal with. Common areas (LR, two DR, kitchen) were perfect. Another '10.' Everything was perfect and in lovely condition. Bedrooms and baths = 8. They are tired. Not all windows worked, trim shows wear/poor spackling, etc. Sliding doors on all levels need solid cleaning of trim. Lowest level of house = 6/7. Stairway to basement needs TLC. Pool is small but functional. We appreciated its screened-in nature. But pool deck stones are not all level or stationary, wood pillars of screen show notable erosion, sand on pool bottom (there when we arrived), hot tub didn't work. Outside couches/bed are stained and tired. We respected owners' request for AC temperature limit but never felt rooms sufficiently cooled to create fully comfortable sleep environment. Recommend black out or darker shades to enhance cooling; indicating if wine is gift for guests; editing/organizing kitchen contents; provision of garbage bags.

Steps away from sunset…
This property is located in an ideal location. It is walkable to the beach and restaurants, and still seems very private.. the house was large open and comfortable. We had a great time in the pool. It’s not a very large pool, but it fit our entire family and we had a great time and used the barbecue. A beautiful bonus to the property is an osprey nest just outside the second floor we watched the parents feed the chicks nonstop during our stay and we were overjoyed. We will definitely come back.

Great week in Captiva
Tidewater is a very clean home with lots of space and spaces to accommodate a large group. The house has so many different tables and seating options that you could easily host a large gathering. Very little missing that you could want at a rental house. Plenty of towels, blankets, soap at sinks and showers, etc. that make the home easy to move right into. Extra full fridge in the basement along with the largest collection of beach chairs we've ever seen. Plenty of carts for the short walk down the quiet street. The lanai area looks over a preserve. The pool is small relative to the house size, but is in excellent shape as is the jacuzzi. The owners are so thoughtful that they even mailed us back items we had forgotten. I would definitely rent this house again.

Beautiful house in a spectacular location
Our extended family had a terrific week on Laika Lane. The house is huge and very well-equipped. The young folks had their own space in the bunk room and the old geezers had peace and quiet in the master bedrooms. Really great spot - thanks, Brian.

Wonderful gals weekend
Our group was a bunch of old college friends, and we had a wonderful time staying at this lovely home. Lots of areas to hang out and chat, both indoors and outdoors. Lovely decor on all floors. We really loved going to the tippy top of the house to watch sunset. Proximity to the beach, as well as ample beach chairs and umbrellas made our trips there so lovely. We can't wait to return! Brian and Anita are wonderful hosts, as well.

Outstanding Family Get-Away
Ideally located for a short stroll to the beach the Tidewater Property offers almost everything you could want. The house is well maintained amply stocked with appliances, china, silverware, glassware, etc. for the whole family gathering. Our family of fourteen, 13 adults and one teen, had a great time. During the day at the beach until sunset and board games, relaxing, chatting and catching up in the evenings. Our granddaughter and her fiancée chose to get married on the beach telling the family just about six weeks prior to our stay. Excellent accommodations for all ( the newly weds departed in the early evening for a Keys honeymoon) . Beach items, e.g., chairs, wagon, boogie boards and much more all available at the property. Owner responded promptly when asked about about a house item. Hated to leave this wonderful haven and there's so much more we could say about this outstanding property.

That we’ve been coming to Captiva for several decades I know the area well. This home is perfectly located with easy walking to restaurants and the beach. What a wonderful place to relax with family and friends, as there’s something to do for everyone of all ages. We will definitely keep this property in mind for future visits.

Fiftieth Anniversary Family Gathering
We absolutely loved our stay at Tidewater. With 5 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms each family had their own bedroom and bathroom with ample room and space. From the moment we entered the home we were all extremely surprised by how spacious the living room, dining room and kitchen were. A huge surprise was the ground level area surrounding the pool that is not shown in photos- a table for 6, an outdoor kitchen with 4 barstools, small refrigerator, and a grill, a daybed, and another seating area. This space plus the pool and spa are all screened in. The pool area is fenced off with a safety gate and in the afternoon this area was partially in the shade which was nice after being out in the sun earlier in the day on the beach. Outside the screened area is a sandy beach area with a corn hole game, and more seating. The garage has a refrigerator, several beach carts, beach umbrellas, and more beach chairs than you would ever need. There was room for a car in one side of the garage, but we used this space for several baby strollers. The driveway held our 5 SUVs and a golf cart. There is an ample supply of bath towels, and beach towels in the linen closets. The home is so well supplied that you only need to bring your suitcases and groceries. Everything and anything else you can imagine is most likely at the house. Best of all, Brian, our host, was very responsive before and during our stay. The landscape was changed due to Ian, but it did not detract from the natural beauty of Captiva.

Family vacation - 14 people
We vacationed at this property for a week with our large extended family comprised of 5 smaller families with 9 adults and 5 children. The property was perfect to accommodate our large group. Each family had their own sleeping space and bathroom. The main living areas have plenty of space to accommodate everyone whether it’s sitting down to eat or hanging out in the living room, porch or patio area by the pool. The kitchen has everything you’ll need if you plan to cook. The grill looked brand new. The beach is a very short walk down the street and there were rarely more than a handful of people there. The property has just about anything you could need for the beach… everything from coolers to sand toys. The pool is a little on the smaller side but it worked well for our group. There were some pool toys for the kids, too. If you’re considering this property I would just caution that the ground level space is definitely more ideal for kids. The inside stairs are a bit tricky to navigate. There are two sets of bunk beds and a futon. The kids loved the space but if you need to sleep adults down there they may not be as comfortable. Overall, a wonderful stay and we would definitely go again.

Lots of space. Great location.
Our group of 7 adults and 5 kids loved this house. There was plenty of room for everyone. Even though it was hot, we enjoyed the outdoor spaces - the ceiling fans made it very comfortable! The house is a short walk from the beach, and there were plenty of chairs, umbrellas and beach toys to use. The pool was perfect for when we were done on the beach and we all enjoyed lots of pool time. The kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were comfortable. We rented a golf cart to get around the island and to carry things to and from the beach. We would definitely stay again!

Beyond fabulous
We had a magnificent time at this gorgeous 3 story home From the movement you drive up to this gorgeous home your transported to island vibes - we came in through the garage and immediately found a full refrigerator , beach chairs, and a ping pong table - anyone whose had a vacation near the beach knows how necessary a back up refrigerator is with al your beach drinks - then a fabulous ping pong table that literally entertained our teens every night for hours !! - the bunk room was amazing - it had a board games and a tv , futon sitting area where our kids set up their consoles - it has a huge bathroom that very conveniently led back outside - an outdoor shower right outside that door was so instrumental for rinsing off chairs , and feet before coming into the house - the pool and hot tub where screened in which was magical since it allowed us to be in the pool even during dusk (without mosquitoes) then you go upstairs to a gorgeous main living room , it had so many places to sit , and so many places to eat as well - definitely an entertainers dream - the kitchen was fully equipped and even had spices, oil, etc for basic cooking , the main level also boasts of two bedrooms and two full baths - this is where I stayed with my sons , then the upstairs master bedrooms , first , they were huge !!!!! The main master had an enournous bathroom and tub - the second master had a lovely balcony and staircase to a rooftop lounge which my girlfriends and I enjoyed nightly - now if all of that isn’t enough the location of this home is absolutely perfect - It was less than a minutes walk to the the beach - we set up all of our beach chairs on Monday and left them there all week until we had to leave - the beach was fabulous , the sabd perfect and the location couldn’t be better - it was also one steer down from the town market , stores, restaurants like the bubble room and mucky duck - I’ve been coming to Captiva / Sanibel for 10 years now and I can say this was the greatest stay weved had thanks to this home - it will definitely be our go to vacay location from now on !! 💕💕and the best part are the hosts! They were communicative and very attentive !!!! 5 ⭐️

My husband and I, 6 adult children/spouses, and a 1 year & 2 year old grandsons arrived at the beautiful house for 5 days. The location was perfect! We walked and took our golf carts all around Captiva. The beach was gorgeous, as well as the house. It was the perfect set up for our family. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed. Brian was quick to respond to my questions before we arrived, and even went and purchased 3 baby gates for us to use on the staircase for our little ones.
