GROUND LEVEL
You'll think you walked into heaven as you enter Manatee Haven. The lower level pool deck is where most spend their time when not out at the beach or hiking the island. This level is fully screened in and features a 15' x 33' heated pool that is one of the largest on the island, a large hot tub, a full outdoor kitchen (includes 36" gas grill, sink, refrigerated drawers and ice machine), two dining areas, a 52" television, a Sonos speaker, a large outdoor shower, and a shell cleaning sink. Swim laps, play pool games of basketball, volleyball, or just sit and relax in the spa.

The first level of Manatee Haven has four bedrooms with 4 beds (two kings, one queen and a queen/twin bunk bed). Each of the bedrooms is fully tiled and beautifully appointed with island themes. The bedroom level includes a full ensuite primary bath and a shared full bathroom in the hallway.There is also a private screened lanai connected to the primary bedroom that overlooks the pool area. A laundry closet with large washer and dryer is also located on this level.

The second floor has a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops and a bar for an enjoyable breakfast or light lunch. Appliances are refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, range and trash compactor. We have all small-wares you'll need from coffee maker and blender to waffle and ice cream makers. You'll have plenty of room to relax and have great conversation or watch television from our Natuzzi leather sectional. The dining area is off the kitchen and has a large farmhouse table with seating for 8. There is also a full bath with shower on this level. A 275 square foot lanai is just off the great room through the stunning glass sliders and faces the Gulf where you can take pleasure in the view and relax with the Gulf breezes. The lanai features a dining table for 6 along with a small sofa and chairs for enjoying the ocean breeze.
OBSERVATION DECK
From the screened lanai there is a spiral staircase that leads to an observation deck, 49 feet above ground, with a grand 360-degree view of North Captiva Island, the Gulf, bay and surrounding islands. A telescope is available to view the night sky. The views are breathtaking. Our observation deck may be the highest on the island.

The Neighborhood:
North Captiva Island remains one of the few places left where man and nature coexist in complete harmony. North Captiva was separated from Captiva on October 25, 1921 when a hurricane carved out Redfish Pass. Hurricane Charley separated North Captiva temporarily on August 13, 2004 but has since been filled back in with sand and new vegetation.
North Captiva Island is located North of Captiva Island and South of Cayo Costa. Part of the Charlotte Harbor barrier island chain, North Captiva is approximately four miles long and one half mile wide at its widest point.
Accessibility to this tropical retreat is just 15 minutes by boat from Captiva or Pine Island. In addition, a 2,000 foot privately owned grass airstrip provides landing space for pilots of light aircraft. It is known for its pristine white sand beaches, lush tropical vegetation, extraordinary bird watching and shelling, and unbeatable saltwater fishing.
North Captiva is one of Florida’s few places left which survived unscarred the early days of land grabs and bulldozers. In fact, it is one of the few places where the delicate balance between man and nature has gracefully withstood the passage of time.
Today the osprey still wheel overhead, fish teem just offshore in the Sound, gopher tortoises plod across the savannah, and otter sport in the harbor. These days, North Captiva is home to a growing number of residents and visitors, drawn by the vibrancies of her beauty and unspoiled island atmosphere.
Getting Around:
North Captiva Island is accessible only by boat, water taxi, or private plane. Our home does not have use of the island runway. Two scheduled water taxi services serve the island. We recommend Island Girl Charters. Their landing is quieter than the North Captiva Island Club dock, which gets busy on turnover days.

Summary: The owners were very responsive and the house had everything promised in the listing. Golf carts and pool were great. The only thing I would recommend is if you can pick up your own groceries prior to getting in the water taxi I would do so as opposed to the delivery service.
