Perfectly nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound, the romantic island of Captiva is located off the South West Coast of Florida.

Captiva Island has beckoned visitors for decades. Once the domain of pirates and conquistadors and home to the Calusa Indians, the lure of the white sandy beaches, warm tropical waters, pastel colored seashells washed up onto the sand and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets sets this location apart as a holiday destination.

This upscale and charming island offers a host of accommodations. From inns, condos, homes and estates to luxurious four and five star hotels that provide the most luxurious surrounds, amenities and facilities, there is something for everyone. The charming fishing cottages that first welcomed guests in the early 1930s are now historic resort hotels that welcome guests with open arms and ensure comfort, quality and typical island hospitality.

The quirky Captiva "downtown" is more village than town, but still provides fabulous shopping and great restaurants including romantic bistros and family diners. Most of the shops are located at the north end of Captiva Drive and here is an array of shops selling fashion merchandise, antiques, pottery, hand-painted furniture and unusual gifts. The Bubble Room, which showcases paraphernalia from past and present decades and Christmas decorations, is also famous for its menu and atmosphere and attracts thousands of visitors every year.

Although badly damaged by a hurricane in 2006, the many large estates, condominiums and business have all recovered.
