The Castaways, bayside: Cottages on ocean or bay

This cottage is bayside. I have to tell you, bay to ocean, is a stone's throw away! Take any available, you will love this island!

Unique Quality: The only cottages I saw on Captiva. Anyone can stay in Sanibel, you will thank me for this...this island is heaven on earth!! A full service marina, so you can dock your boat and sleep at your cottage, go check out Ft. Myers beaches all day!

The Cast Away's Island Retreat: A rare ocean front cottage rental...

These charming ocean front cottages are located right on the beach!! It is really still in Sanibel, but you feel like you are in Captiva, and closer to Captiva activities, but the address is technically Sanibel. It is actually located at Blind Pass, a strip that connects the two islands. Screened in porches, they are lovely, comfortable, and not impossible for a family to manage!
Once you cross the causeway and come onto the island, take a right at the first stop sign onto Periwinkle Way. Follow Periwinkle Way approximately 3 miles to the 4-way stop sign. Turn right onto Tarpon Bay Road. Follow to 4-way stop sign. Turn left onto Sanibel-Captiva Road (also knows as 'San-Cap' Road). Follow San-Cap for approximately 7 miles and you will see the Castaways Office on your right. It is right before the small Blind Pass Bridge that connect Sanibel and Captiva islands.

Unique Quality: It dosen't get any sweeter than this place! The folks who run the resort are pumping in money for updates and improvements everyday! Check out their web site, and see for yourself.
Whenever possible, please check VT sponsors for prices!
This keeps your VT-FREE!!
