**DETAILED DESCRIPTION**

Only 100 feet from a 4-mile stretch of white sand beach, BLUE MANGO offers a very private, beautifully landscaped home nestled in the palms. This is a multi-level home with a private pool and abundant decks.

The charming bottom level is separate from the main house and features 2 bedrooms and one large bathroom. French doors enter into each of the 2 bedrooms and open onto a large, private deck. The kitchen has granite counter tops and the necessary appliances (fridge, oven/stove, microwave, coffee maker) with an outdoor Weber gas BBQ by the pool. There is a cozy living room with a Smart TV and books for you and your kids to enjoy, a quaint dining nook, and a screened porch overlooking the tropical backyard.

On the upper level, you will find a beautiful vaulted living room with plenty of seating for your entire group. A Smart TV and a cupboard full of your favourite boardgames and puzzles will provide hours of fun. A cozy daybed is the perfect spot to curl up and enjoy a good book. The beautiful, open concept kitchen comes equipped with all your appliances, dishes and essential spices as well as washer and dryer. Your whole family can enjoy meals in the separate, lovely dining room that seats 10 and includes a highchair and booster chair. The three bedrooms on the upper level each have their own bathroom. And with three playpens, there are plenty of sleeping options for your little ones. And don't forget the lookout deck up top where you can enjoy beautiful ocean sunsets and nightly stargazing.

All bathrooms are stocked with towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The two kitchens are stocked with dish towels, hand soap, dish soap, and scrub sponge.

Our home comes with private membership to the amenities available at The Island Club of North Captiva. With this membership, you have access to two swimming pools, hot tub, basketball court and kayaks - all at no additional cost.

North Captiva Island is where world-class fishing, boating, shelling, and sunsets await you! North Captiva is a true barrier island, separated from the mainland by a 25-minute boat ride. No cars are allowed on the island so transportation is by golf cart or bicycles. While North Captiva is remote and secluded, that doesn’t mean you have to be completely disconnected. We offer unlimited wifi as well as DirecTV, Apple TV, Prime TV, Disney +, Sonos Sound System, and DVD player. Connect or disconnect… it’s up to you.

With Blue Mango, you will have no worries with a NEW professional management team that works and lives ON ISLAND. Allow them to assist you with coordinating your flight and ferry schedule to assure you aren’t left wasting away your vacation sitting on the pier waiting on your ride. You will receive a welcome packet upon booking, and they will be available to you for making any arrangements or answering any questions. In addition, our staff will be at the marina to greet you when you arrive to escort you and your belongings to your tropical paradise. They will help you get acquainted with your new home and answer any questions you may have before leaving you to finally sink your toes into the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

MOST OF THE ISLAND IS A WILDLIFE SANCTUARY AND OUR BEACH IS AN UNBROKEN RIBBON OF WHITE SAND WHERE SOME OF THE BEST SHELLING IN NORTH AMERICA IS FOUND.

Enjoy the world's best Tarpon and Snook fishing. Fire up the barbecue and cook your catch under the stars, or enjoy one of the island’s fine restaurants.

Exploring is a favorite past time. Try the nearby island of Cayo Costa, have lunch at Cabbage Key (a turn-of-the-century hotel, think "Cheeseburger in Paradise"), or shop on Sanibel or Boca Grande. FIND YOUR OWN PERSONAL BIT OF PARADISE.

Experience a vacation where island beauty and relaxation will surround you, where lazing in the hammock under the palms, or toasting the magnificent sunsets will awaken and revitalize you.

PETS - ONE small dog permitted upon approval of the owner. $300 non-refundable pet fee is charged.

Great location!
Blue Mango is a great beach house! The landscaping out front is very tropical and well kept. The house is clean and has everything you need. The best part is the proximity to the beach. Can’t beat the location. Pool was clean however, the pool deck needs updating and a good refinishing. Property Management, Shalley Seashells, was top notch. Would not hesitate to use them again.

Wonderful house and great location
The house was just as advertised. Everything is close on North Captiva, but the location of Blue Mango made it just *that* much easier to get to the beach by foot. There was plenty of room, and the lower suite made for a great way for half of our party to enjoy their own space as well. The house is solid with regard to noise, with good window seals and no critters to join the party. The pool decking is ready for a surfacing, but the pool was clean, there were plenty of chairs on the decking as well as the roof for relaxing, with enough space around outside to stretch out and enjoy the afternoons. The dining room is spacious enough for 10 to sit comfortably, and the main family room is roomy enough for that many or more to sit and enjoy a movie. Plenty of games and entertainment in the cabinet as well. We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again.

Perfectly relaxing
The property was perfect for our group of 7 adults! The amenities we needed whether for a quick breakfast, making dinner or just hanging by the pool. The beds were comfortable and we appreciated each bedroom having it's own bathroom. While the property isn't on the beach it's so close it really didn't matter and was ready to run back to refill snacks or use facilities. The golf carts make it so easy! The beach amenities were perfect! The management team was incredibly responsive when we had questions and the check in, check out, and grocery services were excellent. Highly recommend this property, or any managed by Shally's!!

Great for families with teens
Blue Mango was perfect for this group of 2 families with teenagers. Close to the beach, pool and games to keep the kids busy, and plenty of space to spread out in the house. It was sad to see the impact to the island and area from the hurricane, but exciting to see the progress to date and all the ongoing efforts to restore the area. But the island remains, even short of a full recovery, a beautiful & relaxing place to get away. The owners and management team did a great job communicating and providing through the process

We enjoyed our first trip to North Captiva and already want to go back!
The property layout and amenities worked great for our family of 10 adults and 2 toddlers! The owners and management were very accommodating with providing a booster seat, actual cribs, pack-n-plays, baby gates, etc. Overall the property was in great shape. We were surprised with how well the kitchen was equipped and leftover spices and coffee from previous guests did come in handy (I think we even left a couple). A few items like lights/fans and rugs could use a good clean, and we noticed cigarette butts outside in the sand from a previous guest. In regards to the island, we enjoyed it very much and like the secluded feeling it provided. A few things to keep in mind for next time though is restaurant reservations should be made at least 2 weeks in advance at Boathouse and Waterfront. The general store should be relied on for emergencies only and not for restocking of any kind (bloody mary mix $39, and Titos vodka 1L $69 - it was probably cheaper to order drinks from a bar). We did rent a boat for the day and enjoyed our time, found the island store near Jensen's marina on Captiva when we refueled to be a much better option for restocking our fridge and pantry. All said and done, our family had an overall great time and we will be back for sure!

Island Vaca with 5 Couples!
I must start this off by saying Sandie was amazing! She immediately met us at the dock and took care of us for our 7 Days! Always easy to communicate with! This home is beautiful and offers everything you could want in a space. When you have this big of a group space can be tricky…this home was perfect! The pool is absolute heaven after a long day on the water. The kitchen is gorgeous, well equipped and we loved the open floor plan of the family room/kitchen. Thank you for an amazing stay! Felt awesome to come back home. We highly recommend!

Absolutely Amazing!
Fantastic week of relaxing fun at Blue Mango! 5 adults and 4 teens had plenty of space between the downstairs apartment, pool, main floor and the rooftop deck. Property managers Bill and Sandy were phenomenal! Highly recommend getting groceries delivered and stocked through them. Super helpful and easy to work with. The house is in such great shape that we commented that it looked like we were the first group to rent it after it came on the market. One of the nicest properties we’ve rented this far. 3-5 minute walk to the beach but the golf cart was the perfect “minivan” to shuttle the chairs/umbrellas/sand toys/cooler/ boogie boards to the beach. Beach only had a few people on it every day. Saw lots of wildlife every day. Loved the fact there weren’t any cars: every day was quiet and peaceful; just walking down the sandy roads was a good time. We would absolutely return to this amazing property to do this again. Can’t recommend Blue Mango highly enough.

Limited Access Island Paradise
We had an awesome visit to the Island! The sunsets were unbelievable, the bugs atrocious, the people friendly, the shelling overly abundant, the sunburn avoidable (ha!), and the water was bathtub warm. I'm already missing the beach, all we have now back home is bug bites, sun tans and so many memories. Blue Mango house was wonderful! Very well equipped! We did bring our own aluminum foil & cling wrap, and glad we did. Good selection of spices and plenty of pots & pans. The location was good, plenty of room for everybody. The beds were comfortable. Please note that the ground floor Apartment is only accessible from the outside of the house, so if your kids want to stay down there away from you, they are really away from you! The owner even provided a 2nd golf cart because the other needed repair. Bring plenty of bug repellent and sun screen, you'll need it.

Long Planned Vacation
Our family booked our vacation in January and we were so excited. Unfortunately our stay was stressful due to the property management “team”. The golf cart didn’t make it to the house for check in due to lack of battery charge. Our groceries did not arrive until after 7pm on check in day. Some items were missing and we never received them. The gas grill propane tank was empty when we attempted to grill steaks the next day. No beach umbrellas so we had to purchase 2 expensive ones and leave them because we couldn’t take them on the plane. Most frustrating was not being able to have messages returned for assistance. Once on the island you are at the mercy of the property manager for everything. Our family enjoyed being together and the beach is absolutely beautiful. I would recommend vacationing in Captiva where the beach is beautiful and stress free accommodations are guaranteed.

Horrible Management in Paradise, Beware of Tortuga Properties
It pains us to have leave a bad review at a place that has amazing potential! However, we feel obligated to do so to hopefully help anyone else who is considering staying here.. The house itself was very nice despite small issues that can be fixed with basic maintenance -moldy/slimy shower & bugs on 1st floor. The root of the bad review has to do with the property management company (Tortuga Properties). The issues started from arrival to the island. The Ferry service (island girl) was great! But once we arrived that’s when all the issues started.. No one was there to welcome us or tell us where we were going. Once we finally found someone, they made us wait forever with a baby, 2 toddlers, and a panting dog on a 95 degree day. The staff was ready to take us to the house without our bags, saying they’ll bring them (yet they had no idea which were ours if we had left) bc they had them mixed in with other guests bags. We demanded to stay with our bags as we feared they would be lost if not (Which we were glad we did because several groups that day lost several of their bags!!). Now on the way to our house the bags fell off the cart due to poor placement and no securement and the staff only realized because we were yelling on the cart behind them to stop. We were supposed to get a welcome walk through of the property but no one ever showed up or responded when we asked when to expect them. We also had some issues with the house (downstairs shower wouldn’t work) and it took multiple follow ups to get them to show up and fix it. Throughout the week we consistently had issues with our golf carts running out of power and having to push them (we charged them after every use and only ever used them to get to the club or dinner). When we checked out, we scheduled a pick up of our bags the day before as it was suggested but no one ever showed up to grab the bags or us for the ferry so we packed our own golf carts and got ourselves to the ferry after 2 trips and thank god we did as the ferry was at the dock and already packing up to leave when we got there. Again, LOVED everything else about the island and the house! We hope to go back again but will never stay with a Tortuga property again. We heard from other families at departure that they also had issues with Tortuga throughout the week. Also noticed people on FB page posting issues but the group owner removes the posts which is disappointing. So hopefully this post helps someone!!

This house is in a wonderful location so close to a beautiful beach.

The kitchen was very well-stocked for eating it every night. Highly recommend it!
