Would love to keep this gem to myself. It's that good. Cannot beat the location and view - steps from the beach. The house itself was clean, well equipped with everything you need for cooking and the beach, has screened-in porches to protect from the bugs, the best WiFi we have had on the island, and lots of room to spread out for a group of 9-10. The pool was perfect and we loved the bar area and outdoor tv for March Madness. The property manager, realtor and owners were all kind, helpful and made sure that we had a wonderful visit. This was our favorite house and group to work with thus far on North Captiva and we can't wait to come back!

Great property

This was a perfect location and layout for our two families (4 adults, 4 kids). The house was really nice and clean, great kitchen space and several areas to relax or play. Great location and quick walk to the beach. The pool was one of the nicest we've stayed at and the house had everything we needed. Best house we've rented in our 4 visits.

Fantastic Family Spring Break

We (two families w school aged kids) had such a great time on North Captiva! Serendipity is well located with great views and is clean and comfortable. The layout worked very well for our two families with plenty of room to spread out in smaller groups but also large, comfortable spaces for when we came together as a group. We only have good things to say!!

Great remote island getaway!

This was an awesome spot. The island is beautiful and full of wildlife. It’s remote and adventurous. The house was excellent. Clean and nicely decorated. The pool is great! It’s one of the few screened in pools on the island, allowing us to swim when the mosquitos are out! Loved everything about this trip! Thank you!

2nd year staying on the Island but best experience ever!!!

This is by far the best house we have ever stayed in and we have been vacationing up and down the Florida coast for the last 10 years. The staff, Was welcoming, responsive and they even checked in on us several times just to ask if we needed anything. Tortuga is the best!!! The house was stocked just as if you were at your own home, we were impressed. Will definitely be staying here again next year. You can also tell the owner cares allot of their home , beautifully maintained and decorated.

Fantastic property on a beautiful island!

This was our first experience on North Captiva and it couldn't have been more memorable. The property is situated in an ideal part of the island: a few paces from the beach and only a few minutes from the island's center. Our family of 8 was able to comfortably enjoy ourselves and the conveniences Serendipity offered. Duncan & Laurie are a stellar team and were very responsive to all of our questions and requests. We will certainly be back!

Perfect beach house!

Our family has visited North Captiva four times and this is by far our favorite home of all! It’s a gorgeous retreat and so beautifully decorated. The property managers were very helpful and knowledgeable. The home is spacious with plenty of natural light. The views were spectacular from all levels. Everyone’s favorite spot was the loft area overlooking the beach where we could spot dolphins in the mornings and around sunset. It’s the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. The upper deck was perfect for stargazing. The house is very well equipped with everything from kitchenware to beach gear. There is a bar area by the pool with a TV and an outdoor shower to keep the sand outside. The home includes two really great golf carts which were so much fun! We can’t wait to go back!

Well I love this house so much I don’t even want to share it but I can’t be that selfish. From the views to the accommodations this house is absolutely perfect for a family or a couple say celebrating their retirement?! We watched both the sunrise and the sunset from the fourth level balcony. Swam in the pool everyday and enjoyed the views from inside and out! The owners put a lot of thought and effort into making this the most perfect getaway and we’re so grateful to them for their efforts! Thanks so much to all involved, Sarah, Kale, Debbie and of course to Denise for the beautiful memories!See you again!

Excellent getaway

If you are looking to unwind and relax, thus is a great place to do it. House was roomy, clean, beds were very comfortable. Super close to the beach and enjoyed the private pool. We had an amzing time disconnecting from our normally busy lives. Just an FYI, the few establishments on the island close early. If you're looking for night life, this is not the place. Our college aged kiddos had to adjust to this but it gave us fun game nights by the pool, watching sunsets, and reconnecting with our family.

It was Serendipitous that we found this house after VRBO double-booked our original house!

We enjoyed the comfort of watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets from Serendipity. This house has spectacular views of the Gulf of America and the rest of North Captiva. Denise the owner was in constant contact with us accommodating our every need including the ones we had for our Grandchildren. (5 months and 3 years) This house is beautiful inside and out and has every comfort you want for a dream vacation. Kale and Sarah Dudding the property managers were very attentive and available 24/7 with any questions. We will return to relax and enjoy Serendipity with the whole family next year. This was one of our best trips to the Island.

Paradise. Spacious, peaceful and perfectly stocked.

Our family of nine stayed in this incredible Captiva Island home, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The layout is so well thought out that we could spread out when we needed a little quiet time without ever feeling disconnected or anti-social. It truly strikes that rare balance of togetherness and space.The home is beautifully maintained, filled with natural light, and the views from the deck are breathtaking. Whether we were playing in the pool, relaxing on the balcony, or gathering around the table, every space felt inviting and easy to enjoy.Best of all? The house was FULLY stocked with everything we could possibly need kitchenware, beach gear, games, towels, you name it. It made settling in effortless.This home gave us the space to make memories, relax deeply, and just be together. We left feeling recharged and already dreaming of coming back. Absolutely unforgettable.
Gorgeous views.
Incredible saltwater pool.

Relaxing in luxury

This beautifully decorated and fully stocked home was loaded with everything you could imagine needing. The mattresses are as comfortable as a Trump Hotel, which led to some very restful nights. The views from this home are the most beautiful I've seen. Being right next to the ocean, I could view both the sunrise and sunset as well as hear the tide rolling in and see dolphins swim by. The house was loaded with everything needed to prepare meals as well as a wine fridge. I enjoyed the design of the home which while allowing for hosting many people it provided private areas to retreat to. There were private decks off of two bedrooms, as well as one off the kitchen, one off the living room, another off of the loft and my favorite one on the roof. It does get a bit buggy there so it was nice to take cover in the many screened in areas, including the pool. It was also very easy exploring the island using the two provided golf carts. I would recommend this beautiful home for anyone wanting to enjoy the finer things and relax.

Beautiful Relaxing Getaway

We spent NYE at Serendipity and it was wonderful. North Captiva Island is one of the rare getaways in the domestic 48 states where you feel like like you're in another world. Each home is seriously with vegetation and the golf carts give it a paid back feel. Amazing shelling, nature preserve, long walks on the beach, and wildlife (lots of dolphins, manatees and birds). Access to the North Captiva Island Club gives you free bikes, kayaks, tennis rackets and access to courts and the pools. The house itself was great. Clean and spacious. Duncan and the management team are highly communicative and addressed the minor maintenance issues we encountered. From picking us up at the dock, to checking on us, to check out, all was smooth. The house is well stocked in the kitchen with Keurig, crock pot, blender, and everything you need for the week. The pool includes floats, some toys, beach chairs and umbrellas, etc. Everything you need. Perfect weather and trip away from the snow. Thank you!

Fantastic House!

We loved our stay at Serendipity. The house is well equipped. We had everything we needed to cook meals for our crew. We could not get enough of the 4th story roof deck and the sunsets. Awesome! The house was clean, well kept, and nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable. We loved the pool with the newly installed bar and TV. Having the extra fridge at the pool allowed us to store most of the beer, soda and waters in that area and left more room for food in the kitchen. The property managers were great - very helpful accommodating and friendly. Our only challenge was the fridge in the kitchen seem to have suffered from some rough handling prior to our stay - some of the door shelves were broken, which made food storage a little more challenging. That's an easy fix though - just need to order a few new parts. The wine fridge was also helpful and nice to have. Overall, we loved it, and may come back again. Jeff Ferony

Sunshine and Seashells Galore!

We had a great stay at Serendipity! The house had plenty of space for our family of four to spread out. We enjoyed all the fun activities at the house including: ping pong, bean bag toss, sunsets on the roof, pool time with plenty of pool toys, star gazing from the deck, and games! The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you need to make meals and drinks. Having a washer and dryer was great too! The views from the house were truly spectacular and we enjoyed daily walks on the beach looking for sand dollars, sea shells, turtles, manatees, and dolphins. The kids loved taking golf cart rides. The only issues we had upon arrival were that we were missing several of the promised amenities including: hand soap, toilet paper, trash bags, paper towel, shampoo, and conditioner. We arrived on Saturday and some of the items were not delivered until Tuesday. We eventually got everything we needed, but it would have been nice to have everything at check in. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we loved exploring our first time on North Captiva Island!
