About this property
Waterfront Cottage with Pool Great for Families in Florida
A favorite to many, the old Florida-style but the updated cottage is truly a home away from home with its many comforts and furnishings. The En suite master with a king bed, guest bedroom with two twins, and a sleeper sofa in the living room is great for short or long-term visits for up to 6 people, along with a washer and dryer, large closet areas, and a full kitchen. Its own private lanai deck faces the Bay, and a private screened pool is right off the dining area.
Take advantage of the Bay view accessible home by using the two shared docks with electricity and water for fishing or boating. Take one of our kayaks onto Buck Key, a historic small island directly across from the docks. Outdoor games are also available to use on the abundant green lawns or relax around the fire pit in the landscaped area. Catch up on your reading, play computer games, or just nap on your deck lanai or the Bay docks where native birds fly freely and the fish just jump out of the water. Turn right out of the driveway to Captiva Village to try some of the main restaurants or shops on Andy Rosse lane, or turn left onto Captiva Drive to go to Blind Pass for fabulous shelling.
THe cottage does not have deeded beach access.
Two kayaks are present for guest use on a first-come first-serve basis.
Please note there are now only two couches in the Livingroom.
