ACCESSED BY FERRY ONLY LANIKAI, 2/2 house steps from the widest white sand beach on the island and nature Preserve. Heated pool, views from the rooftop, kayak, chairs, towels, and umbrellas. BRING or purchase BOTTLED WATER on the island (Brenna) since the well water, though safe for bathing/cooking, has a taste. Tortoises live on the lot next door. They love bananas and apples. Don't try to carry them. Note: I don’t control noise caused by constructions and/or repairs, hurricane debris Whole house! Private heated pool. (No children allowed on rooftop or unattended in the pool area) Please note that the pool heater will automatically shut off if the outdoor temperature reaches 50 F degrees . By shutting off, heat pump prevents damage that can occur when the air gets too cold. Heat will turn on again when outdoor temp reaches the 60s. Whole house and outdoors. I don’t live on the island, unfortunately, but I’m available at the Airbnb site or on my cell phone. Paradise island on the west coast of Florida! ** Call Boats’n’Fun, prior to your arrival, to rent a golf cart. Parking is charged for your car on the mainland at the North Captiva Island Club Transportation Center for the duration of your stay.
