By The Sea

Guest Rating:

Sleeps 6, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. No pets allowed.

11515 Chapin Lane Captiva, Florida 33924 United States

Located very near the beach in Captiva’s Village, breezy porches offer a serene place to relax with a book or dine al fresco. Custom design elements and architectural enhancements add interesting detail to every room.

Spend your days on the beach, then walk to the Mucky Duck for live music, a sunset drink, or dinner in Captiva. Rent a boat at the Marina or arrange a guided fishing expedition. Sanibel is just a short drive away, with its shops, restaurants, bike paths, and amazing shelling. Enjoy the Ding Darling Wildlife Preserve, where you can sea kayak through mangrove islands and view rare birds and other wildlife. Much of Sanibel/Captiva is a wildlife preserve; this paradise is yours to explore.

By The Sea is the perfect vacation home for active families, reunions of friends, or a quiet getaway. Especially suited to guests who will appreciate the unique décor and attention to detail. Visitors will enjoy the relaxed pace, and low-key style of Captiva. The soft sands and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico are less than 1 block away. Walk to McCarthy’s or Jensen Marina, where you can arrange cruises in the Gulf of Mexico, wildlife viewing, dolphin watching trips, and deep-sea fishing. Beautiful sunsets are only steps from your door – the highlight of each great day and the beginning of a peaceful Captiva evening.

    Angie H from Piedmont, AL recommends this vacation rental

    This is hands down our favorite stay from years of visiting sanibel and captiva. The home is thoughtfully appointed and decorated. Super comfortable beds and great hang out space outdoors. We loved it. American realty was great and very responsive. We will book with them again soon.

    a guest from purcellville, virginia recommends this vacation rental

    What started out poorly, turned out well thanks to American Realty!

    We arrived for out 2 week stay and notice the entire underside of the house was blocked off due to pool construction. We had lots of paddle boards and beach gear with us, so what were we supposed to do? A little notice would have been nice. Anyway, after talking with American Realty, they made sure we were taken care of. They made sure no construction would take place for the next 2 weeks and allowed us to use what we could for storage on the underside of the house! Very professional and courteous people.

    There was also some minor master bath sink issues they took care of asap!

    Richard B from Pocono Lake, PA recommends this vacation rental

    House is close to the beach, dining, & activities. In a quiet neighborhood.
    House could use some TLC.
    Not a good House for small children - too much breakable stuff to touch.
    Management Co. Was very responsive and professional.

    Devin Z from Lexington, KY recommends this vacation rental

    We loved our stay at By The Sea. You can walk to all the main attractions and most restaurants. It's about a thirty second walk to the beach. We went for my boyfriend's 40th birthday and the house was perfect for just the two of us. It was clean and homey. We really wanted somewhere quiet and laid back and we got it. We would stay here again!

    a guest from La Crosse, WI recommends this vacation rental

    In Captiva Jan 19-26, '21, our first.. Did not book thru VRBO. Had a great time. House as nice as in photos. Older, in decent shape, only a couple of minor maintenance issues. $180 cleaning fee on par with other places. Total came to $522/D. Expect 2 weeks to get dam dep back. Clean, cute, cosy decor which we all really enjoyed. Appreciated the fact that owner is thoughtful about guests (unlike many other VRBO-type rentals), there were adequate amenities, plenty of towels, extra sheets, blankets (it was chilly at night). Room to park multiple vehicles. Had an outdoor shower to get the salt off (too chilly to get in the water on this trip). New outdoor grill. Only 2 blocks from beach and small village center with a few nice, casual restaurants and coffee shops. Maintenance company seems responsive -coffee pot leaked, we had a new one later that day. Sunset dinner at the Mucky Duck on ocean is popular for great view. If you want to sit outdoors at sunset make a reservation, even during the week. Most activities are on Sanibel. 1/2 day fishing (Capt Colin Carpenter, highly recommend,.) Was slow but we caught enough for dinner. He worked hard moving us around. Dolphins with baby followed boat was delightful distraction from fish only biting so-so, great photo op! Unlike Keys, only place on Sanibel-Captiva that will prepare catch is Lazy Flamingo. Casual jeans place, did a great job, not too pricey. Spent time in Ding Darling National Wildlife refuge. Should have been on bikes rather than in car. Spend a few hours kayaking Tarpon Bay and mangroves (used Tarpon Bay Explores. A little pricey but they made it easy, plus we learned that kayaks can only be brought into Federal lands by private citizens, not outfitters, and since they are next to preserve it was easy to rent from them and paddle in.) Spent several hours hiking Bailey's Tract, spotting alligators, birds, turtles. Should have biked more. Explored Pine Island - not worth the trip.
