In the days of historic Captiva when cottages were all you needed because you spent your time outdoors fishing and visiting with neighbors, when Andy Rosse, Binder and Dickey were more than just funny names on street signs, life was simpler. Reminiscent of the old Captiva lifestyle, this Sunset Captiva cottage embodies the spirit of the island fishing camps synonymous with this area. Borrowing from the wisdom of old Florida construction, the pecky cypress siding is naturally resistant to decay and insects. The sprawling porches are the ideal backdrop for sharing an evening meal and relaxed conversation at end of a long day. Sunset Captiva offers one of the few options in the Captiva Village where a private owner or renter can keep a boat. Whether jumping on your boat for a day of restaurant hopping from Cabbage Key to Boca Grande, spending a leisurely afternoon fishing from the dock or getting some exercise paddleboarding in the gulf, Sunset Captiva has all the tropical watersports covered. If land-based sports are your preference, Sunset Captiva offers a pool, beach boardwalk, tennis courts and one of the island’s only community pickleball courts.
