Everyday people, Everyday lives, an Extraordinary location. North Captiva Island plays host to family vacations, reunions, secluded and relaxed residences, and as one family mentioned to me... "Our vacation to North Captiva has become a defining moment in our family." A close knit community with stewardship, balanced environmental enjoyment & preservation, and love of the Sea.

Catch o’the day...
Local newspapers have recently proclaimed this spring to be the best fishing season in years, particularly for snook. Theories abound as to why. Some believe that the red tide killed large numbers of bait fish, leaving less competition for fisherman’s lures. Others insist that the dry winter cleared the waters up so much that the fish were just easier to spot!

Many full-time island residents believe that SUMMER IS THE BEST time of year to be on North Captiva. Crystal turquoise-blue gulf waters sparkle and invite you in for a swim. The beach is now yours and yours alone. Time to collect your share of conch shells and sand dollars for that craft project that is still beckoning. With the rainy season upon us, the island is as lush and tropical as ever. It’s piña colada time on North Captiva. All of the coconut palms are bearing fruit, ripe for the chorus of blenders to harmonize with the warm gulf breeze.

Fairy tales do come true! This summer, North Captiva Island Club played host to a fantasy beachfront wedding and elegant reception on the wharf. As guests of the wedding, we experienced first hand the splendor of the beautifully orchestrated ceremony and superb catering provided by Mango's own staff. (Honestly, this was the best wedding fare we'd ever tasted.)

North Captiva Deamin', salty summer sands, tan on your hands, and sweet wild jasmine blooming its perfume everywhere. With the short winter days go the short winter months and soon the chill that arrived in North Captiva was just a pleasant memory. Riding around the island in the early morning light, nightly fog lifts in curls of steam from the roads and between pockets of dense foliage. Stopping for a moment... You can see your breath. In just one moment the chill is gone and sun glistens on dewy palm fronds. Time to trade our coffee mugs in for margarita glasses and toast the coming Spring!

The Long Term Picture
We recently spoke with several wise friends who expressed opinions about owning a home on North Captiva. The consensus was that holding their properties here for fifty years was just “a drop in the bucket.” They feel that their homes are treasured family heirlooms to be passed on for many future generations. Perhaps they are on to something. The time spent on this beautiful island paradise with family and loved ones, away from all the stresses of daily life, creates long-lasting memories and bonds that are nothing short of… priceless.

Snap! Like a switch, the air on North Captiva has crispened. Blades of magenta grasses coat the open island fields of the Dunes. Flocks of swallows are just beginning to arrive as their flight plans take them past us, headed out on another journey. Just what is ahead of you, you are never quite certain. Circles drawn in the sand are all that remain from the last wave of visitors as the deep cool shadows cast by a setting sun change the island into a sea of emeralds.

Island Legends... Once upon an island, North Captiva and Captiva were one continuous stretch of stunning beaches. In a 1921 hurricane, Redfish Pass was created and the two were separated...
a new island was born.

Tales from long ago tell of the Pirate Gaspar and his treasure sunken off the coasts of the Charlotte Harbour Chain of barrier islands. Gasparilla and Little Gasparilla islands to our north carry on the pirate's name.
Legend has it that women of great beauty or nobility, captured by the Pirate Gaspar were held captive on the island which became known as Captiva.

Upper Captiva Island is and oasis from a busy and hectic world. Also known as North Captiva Island on Nautical Charts, Upper Captiva is bordered by Pine Island Sound on one side and the waters and beached of the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Upper Captiva is quaintly sized at just over 700 acres with two thirds of the island set aside for a Wildlife Sanctuary. Upper Captiva Island is approximately four and a half miles long and a half a mile wide at its widest points. From the mangrove lined waters of the Bay to the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, half a mile seems just right. North Captiva becomes a narrow sliver of sandy beaches, rustic beach verandahs, and majestic stilt homes in comparison with the great waters of the Bay and Gulf that surround our tiny tropical island. Development of the remaining 300+ vacant building lots is limited to the 1/3 of the island that is already platted, which helps preserve North Captiva’s perfectly charming character. Our lovely island does not have a bridge to the mainland which keeps it remote and private. Though development is tempered by our remote location, the properties available for sale are truly unique and special. Resort Properties Internationale has beach houses for sale, island and gulf view homes, as well as interior island building lots.
Upper Captiva’s quiet charms are not for everyone, but if you are willing to let your life wind down to a pace that is as serene as the ebb and flow of the tides; come and give it a try! If your hobbies would bring you to a tranquil natural paradise then Upper Captiva Island will be a good match for you. You can enjoy unspoiled nature like few other locales in the U.S. Photography buffs are instantly at home along the beaches, on the water, catching glimpses of Dolphins, exploring the beauty of nature’s hidden treasures in the wildlife sanctuary. A quiet porch on your beach front home with a good book while you sip lemonade from your world headquarters (HAMMOCK!). You can really truly feel the relaxation of the island take effect. For those more active types, the water sports available in North Captiva’s local waters are truly exceptional. First class fishing is right at your fingertips. Just cast a line and you’ll be all set for dinner. Not far from North Captiva is not far from Boca Grande Pass, where world-class tarpon fishing takes place every year, including the World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament. The waters surrounding Upper Captiva Island are abundantly filled with flounder, pompano, grouper, trout, bluefish, red snapper, kingfish, mackerel, redfish, and more.
The residential neighborhood of the island is an unbroken ribbon of sand winding along the sparkling Gulf of Mexico’s coast. With approximately ½ mile of beautiful Gulf Beaches stringent setbacks to preserve the Florida’s coast natural charm. Helping the beach to remain wide and unshadowed by tall structures, these setbacks create a natural beach covered with sea oats and native sea plants. As you continue your walk down the beach, you enter the stretch of beach owned by the State of Florida that is designated for wildlife preserve. With bird nesting areas and sea turtle nests protected seasonally, the State Park Beaches become a haven for wildlife, photographers, beachcombers, shellers, and nature lovers.
We can help you find your home on Upper Captiva Island. With properties on the Gulf beaches, nestled amongst the palms throughout the island, Resort Properties Intl. has the perfect property for you and can help you find it amongst all of the island’s offerings. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the future.
