Living Here

Living in Captiva

Captiva Island is one of Southwest Florida's most beloved destinations — a small, intimate barrier island north of Sanibel, accessible by bridge from the mainland. Captiva's permanent population of fewer than 500 belies its global reputation as a world-class beach and sunset destination, anchored by the historic Captiva Village with its charming restaurants and galleries.

The island is dominated by Gulf-front and bay-front estates, vacation cottages, and low-rise condos — with strict building restrictions preserving the low-key, natural character that defines Captiva. Real estate here ranges from historic island cottages to multi-million-dollar Gulf-front estates, with the full range of Pine Island Sound and Gulf of Mexico frontage available.
