UPPER CAPTIVA ISLAND, A true Island experience. No cars in this unspoiled paradise. This 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath home is exceptionally located on a beautifully landscaped lot with uncommon privacy and miles of gulf beach are just a very short walk west. As you may know, Upper Captiva Island is accessed only by boat, or by small plane into a private airstrip. The island is approximately 4 miles long and a ½ mile wide at its widest. A little more than one-half of the island is owned by the state of Florida and is managed as a preserve. There are about 400 homes on the island and of those, approximately 75% are available for rent. Four small restaurants, a general store and two beach boutiques comprise the only stores on the island. There are about 80 full-time residents. Island transportation is by electric golf carts which helps to keep the island a peaceful and relaxing get-a-way. Beachcombing, fishing, and walking the nature trails in the State Preserve are a special treat for those who enjoy the simple things in life.
