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.
