The Beauty Of Captiva Island Rentals
Its vacation time, time to put the clocks and the schedules away and live life on the fly. Or maybe it’s time to rest and relax, take things easy and let other people do all the worrying. If you’re looking for a tropical climate and an easy going atmosphere, consider going through Captiva Island rentals to plan your vacation down south.
Captiva Island is what is called a barrier island, one of a long chain of sand islands off of the shore of the mainland of Florida. It is located in the Gulf of Mexico. Originally, Captiva Island was part of Sanibel Island to the south-east. A hurricane’s storm surge rushed over the weakest part between the two islands and separated them. Even as it filled in over the years, a dredging project in the summer of 2009 re-opened what is called Blind Pass. Now the Captiva island rentals are a separate entity from those available on larger Sanibel itself.
Captiva does have its own little town at the end of its long stretch of white sand beaches. The town is more of a villa, in truth. However, it has all the restaurant and fine dining needs vacationers are looking for, year round.
Once upon a time in days gone by, the Calusa Indians wandered Captiva and the nearby shores of Florida. Though their treasures are long gone, the mystery of the islands remains. The Captiva island rentals that are available include nature, lunch and sunset cruises, where eager vacationers can view the ocean and sky much the same the natives did once so long ago.
One of the many things that people come to Captiva for is shelling. Walking along the beautiful sandy beaches, one is bound to find shells by the thousands. Shelling is the hobby of inspecting, viewing and collecting sea shells naturally. Young and old can spend hours in the sun exploring to find just the right shell. Another natural hobby often found on Captiva is that of birding or bird watching. Couples and families can use the Captiva island rentals to rent in-line skates or golf carts to cruise around through the cacti and flora, looking for rare birds.
Different types of accommodations are available through the Captiva island rentals. A family can rent a condo, town home, cottage or villa. And guests are welcome to stay for a week, a month or the entire season! The ocean is just outside the door, the beach just a few feet away. And each home is the epitome of luxury and relaxation in privacy.
This part of the world, the coast of Florida, is often referred to as the Gold Coast. Part of that is because of the types of luxury homes that dot the mainland and islands such as Captiva and Sanibel. Many of these multi-million dollar homes can be rented with Captiva island rentals. Two bedroom homes can hold six people, three bedroom homes can hold eight. And the larger more expensive houses and mansions will hold fourteen.
The beaches of Captiva are for the most part intended for those who are actually staying in the areas around them. Quiet, private, secluded, this entire island offers the peace and serenity so many people are seeking on their vacations. With more active options such as parasailing, golf, jet-skis and power boating also available, Captiva island rentals are guaranteed to suit all vacation tastes.
