SPRAWLING PRIVATE BEACHFRONT - Sleeps 10, perfect for a family, 2 golf carts

Welcome to SEA LA VIE beach house, your luxurious home away from home at the shore. Our private 4 bedroom beach house offers fantastic panoramic views of the water with a spectacular & pristine swimming beach. Enjoy the gentle surf while relaxing on the sugar sand bayside beaches and watch the dolphins frolic just offshore.

No need for dolphin excursions when you get them daily from your beach! You have a serene shallow beach front with sparkling white sand to claim as your own, snorkel from, and search for shells. Lots of starfish hangout in this area and you can see them dusting the bottom below you. Just steps from the house is the perfect setting for the best beach vacation ever. When you are done on the beach, jump in the golf cart and ride over to the North Captiva Island Club. Included in your stay, you have access to two pools, hot tub, pool bar ( you pay for your personal consumption) tennis, basketball court, kayaks, paddle boards, fat tire bikes and more. Spend time on your beach or go socialize with other islanders. We also have of 2 single kayaks that are just for our property and allow you to launch right from our private beach on a whim.

SEA LA VIE is a tropical island paradise located on North Captiva, just 3 miles offshore, part of the Lee Island Coast Barrier chain. North Captiva Island is only accessible by conveniently scheduled ferry boats or with private water taxi. Just note that if you are driving, you will park your vehicle in one of the secured ferry lots before boarding the delightful short ferry ride over to the island. You will see lots of birds and sea life on your trip over. If you are lucky, you will even catch a dolphin or two in the wake.

This private island community is one of a kind. Quaint sandy trails and roads lead you around the island with tropical plants and palm trees lining both sides, you will feel as if you have been whisked away to another world. Here you find no cars or city noise. Explore the island by golf cart and bikes. Two golf carts are provided for your use and will be waiting when you arrive, along with a personal concierge to assist you with your luggage and get you set up for a perfect week (or more) in paradise. We have a property manager on island to assist when you have a need, but as the Owner, I directly engage with all of our guests. Pre-arrival, I send out a planning packet. You do not have to worry about the logistics of figuring out how to get from the airport to a ferry, groceries and more… we have a simple, step-by-step guide with easy to follow and trusted partners to make your vacation perfect. I work hard to make sure our guests that stay in our home have all their questions answered and feel prepared to arrive without stress. My goal is to make this as easy as possible for you and your family.

We want you to feel at home while you are staying at SEA LA VIE. You have 2,600 sq ft under A/C with more than 4,200 sq ft of living space, including open decks on both floors and a covered veranda on the main level. The home is furnished perfectly for casual island living, including updated tile floors and comfortable furniture. All 4 bathrooms have been completely updated with full size custom vanities, custom shower/bath tile work and a stunning rare Brazilian stone vanity tops. Each of the three master bedrooms have their own private full size bathroom. New in December of 2023 is a full walk in, custom tiled, oversized shower in the Vip Tranquility Suite bathroom.

One of the most special features unique to our home an expansive and unobstructed beach all for your enjoyment. No dragging chairs and coolers, just walk off your front steps onto your beach. It is yours for the week. This part of the beach is private and very close to North Captiva's famous Dolphin Beach. The area is a perfect spot to relax, float, and swim. It is ideal for families with children of all ages. We have sand toys and plenty of chairs that you can leave out during your stay. Another wonderful feature of the SEA LA VIE beach is that even during high tides, you still have a large beach to play. You can stay beachside all day without losing your sand castles. When you need a sun break, simply walk to our beach level entertainment area where you will find lounging furniture, beach games, a full size refrigerator/ freezer, commercial ice maker that makes 100 pounds of ice per day, Weber grill and an additional dining table for 8.

We hope you enjoy cooking and will use this week to try new foods and experiment with local flavors. The kitchen is set up for foodies with the equipment you need to make a gourmet meal or something simple. You have an outdoor Weber grill (propane included) to create your next bbq masterpiece by the sea. We can even arrange to have you set up with a private chef for a spectacular beachside private dining experience. No detail is left behind. We have all new updated kitchen items, you will not be disappointed. We even have a pink KitchenAid stand mixer to make creative and fun meals. At the beach level, SEA LA VIE offers an extra full-size refrigerator to keep all your drinks ready & cool. A whole house REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM which offers clean and tasteless fresh water out of every spigot, even showers. That means no need for bottled water to lug in or spend extra money. We have plenty of reusable cups and tumblers so you can reload and go! Even our outdoor beach level ice maker is producing diamond quality ice!

For interior home entertainment, you have 3 smart tv's with YouTube TV and high-speed, Starlink Wi-Fi. We are fully stocked for family game nights at the beach, plus plenty of books and movies to enjoy. Hunt for shells and make take-home crafts.

Your sleeping accomodations are comfortable and updated. The upstairs VIP Tranquiltiy Suite comes with a king bed and en-suite bathroom. This suite boasts a one of a kind beach and water view . The Tranquility Suite opens to two private decks where you can watch the sunrise over the sound, sit, and enjoy your morning coffee in the lounging Pollywood chairs. The rear deck provides for a view of the sunset over the harbor. Adjacent to the spacious master bedroom en-suite bath is a nursery/toddler room which is equipped with both a crib and a toddler bed (all linens for both supplied) including a baby bath and audio baby monitor.

Two more master suites with king beds and memory foam mattresses are on the first floor. They each offer en-suite baths, a pack & play, and have access to the spacious main living level decks. All 3 King suites all have sliding glass doors so you can step outside onto decking and get instant views and fresh air privately.

The Kids Crew Bunk room is equipped with 3 single beds and a moveable mattress with linens to add in a 4th guest. This room is sure to get the giggles going from the kid crew! There is a conversion kit that can turn two twins into a king for that specific room.

All rooms are furnished with premium linens and fresh absorbent towels. The three fully renovated bathrooms have complimentary soap, shampoo, and hair conditioner. Hair dryers are included in all bathrooms. Additionally, there is a half bath on the main level and an outdoor shower on the beach level.

The main level has a laundry room with a Samsung front load washer and dryer for your use. We provide complimentary laundry pods as well.

Lastly, we are committed to protecting your privacy and security. Outside of the home, we have security monitoring while still protecting your privacy inside the home. The device is located on the exterior of the home monitoring the exterior trash area, the front door, the supply room on the beach level and above the golf cart parking station as well as the entrances to the property. All data is deleted when not needed. These are only used for security purposes.

Inside the home is an Alexa Show device and a baby monitor. Both devices may be deactivated if not desired. The Alexa Show is located on the credenza at the rear of the dining area. The baby monitor is stored in a box in the baby room and is available but not plugged in.

At this time, we do not permit parties, events or weddings on the property so we ask that no unregistered guests stay or visit the property without prior approval.

SEA LA VIE is the perfect place to call home for your family. You will not be disappointed.

Incredible beach front property, even better host!
I’ve been traveling to North Captiva for many years and this is one of the best properties I’ve stayed at. The house is beautiful, very carefully maintained, and provided ample accommodations for our entire family, adults and children alike. This would also be a great place for a first time visitor to North Cap because of the knowledge the host, Leslie, openly shares to help make your trip more enjoyable. Planning for and traveling to North Captiva is more involved than a standard beach vacation, but Leslie was there to provide excellent recommendations every step of the way. From car services and ferry schedules, to food and drink recommendations, anything and everything you can think of, Leslie had it covered. Her communication was excellent before, during and after the trip. We highly recommend Sea La Vie for your next vacation!

The house and location are beautiful. We rode the golf cart around the island daily and went to mangos for ice cream several times while we were there. My husband and sons caught tons of fish while my daughter and I explored with the kayaks or laid out in the sun. Communication with the owner (Leslie) was wonderful. She contacted me about a month prior to our vacation and kept in contact with me throughout. She answered all of my questions and even ordered a game I had asked about and had it at the house for our stay! North Captiva is definitely somewhere we will go again and it was one of our favorite family vacations

Perfect vacation home for kids!
We had a wonderful time! The home was clean and stocked with everything you would ever need. We were traveling with all ages from 68 to two one yr olds. The two masters on the first floor were nice for my husband and I’s elderly mothers. The master up stairs had a wonderful bonus room that had a crib and a toddler bed. It was so nice having my youngest children so close but yet separated for some privacy. They had everything you would need for small children including baby gates, baby monitor and pack n plays. We would put the babies down for a nap and head to the beach with the monitor without any issue!There is also a nice shaded spot for the babies to play under the deck that kept my 1 and 4 yr olds occupied for hours. The beach was PERFECT. Wonderful sunrise views with calm waters for our younger children. The private beach was perfect and came stocked with yard games like cornhole and even games for the children. Also plenty of beach seating. The ice maker and fridge beachside were such a blessing. A cold drink was always just steps away. I also liked that our private beach had clear boundaries that kept my children on our property …. this was the first vacation wear my kids could roam and play and I could actually sit and relax. Great beachside fishing also! The gulf carts were in great shape and had plenty of room with having the two available. The owner and management company are very responsive and kind and are truly just a text away. Highly Recommend!

Best time ever!!!
We had the BEST week ever at Sea La Vie on North Captiva Island! I would absolutely recommend this spot, the perfect location for family. We saw beautiful sunrises, so many shells, starfish, dolphins and manatees. My son and husband enjoyed fishing off shore and we used the kayaks provided. Leslie was wonderful to work with, she took care of everything and the house was beautiful and organized with everything you need for a great stay. It really doesn’t get much better than this, we can’t wait to go back to this little slice of heaven!

Awesome house with amazing views and a great location!
We were a group of 8 comprised of two family’s of 4. The house fit us perfectly and gave everyone their own space to relax. The views were absolutely amazing and we found we spent the majority of our time on the front porch or below the house relaxing. The ice machine and fridge downstairs was really nice to have as well as the abundance of beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. The house and kitchen is fully stocked and there wasn’t one thing we found ourselves needing that wasn’t there in place. As for the location, it’s got the largest private beach area of any property we had seen on a side of the island where the water always stays calm. This was a nice thing with children, allowing them to play in the shallow water and not having to be right next to them. The gulf side (the other side of the island and maybe a 10 minute cart ride) is nice to visit and beautiful as well but in our opinion not and area you could let the kids swim freely without the presence of an adult very close. The house is also situated on the side of the island known for dolphin sightings. We regularly(multiple times per day) saw pods of dolphins sometimes close enough to hear them breathe, it was pretty cool. I can’t say enough about the location of this place to everything you would need or want to do on the island, it really is perfect. The property owners and management were extremely easy to communicate with and gave us welcome packets that left no questions unanswered. We will be staying here again!

Everything was great at Sea La Vie! We had everything we needed between beach items to use, the 2 golf carts and a well stocked kitchen. It was nice to have extras like the beach chairs, umbrella, games, corn hole, ice maker etc. We really enjoyed the house and it was obvious the owners want their guests to feel comfortable and at home. We would love to return sometime and recommend Sea La Vie to others wanting a nice family vacation house on beautiful North Captiva.

If you are looking for a heavenly escape from the chaos then Sea La Vie is for you! Everything about our trip was perfect. From the moment we stepped foot on the island we felt at ease. We were greeted by Brian from Shally's Seashells Property Management. Brian grabbed our bags off of the Water Taxi and put them on the trailer attached to his golf cart. He gave my husband and I keys to a blue and pink golf cart and the kids excitedly hopped on the back of the carts to go for a tour of the Island. Brian showed us around the island and told us all about the Manatees that come up to visit people near the shore. Prior to arrival we had the option of having the house stocked with groceries which we took advantage of. When we walked into the house our wine and beer was chilled and waiting for us. The house was perfect and fully stocked with everything we needed from sea kayaks to shovels and floats for the water. I could feel all of the love and attention to detail that the property owners put in the home. The only bad part about this home was leaving to go back to the mainland.

Leslie (the owner) is so wonderful! Her charming home is decked out with everything you'd need to have a wonderful vacation, right down to copper cups for Moscow Mules (our favorite cocktail!). The island is remote, so preplanning is necessary - Leslie gave detailed instructions which made everything run smoothly!

Leslie was extremely helpful in providing all the pre planning information for ground transportation (I highly recommend John and Yvonne), grocery shopping (Debbie was fantastic), Seafood market and liquor store. Leslie was alway available to help me before and during my stay. She took out the anxiety of staying on a private island. The golf carts and kayaks were a big hit. The best family vacation we’ve ever had! So relaxing and laid back. There’s a lot to do if you want or not. It was great to have our own private beach. The water was so warm and sunrises were fantastic! We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing View
This was our 3rd time staying on NCI and the first time at this property. This by far was the best vacation rental we've stayed at so far. The rental was clean, well kept, well stocked and very well organized. Thorough guidelines were provided. Communication was very helpful and delivered timely. The owners were great to work with and we truly appreciated everything! The house itself is beautiful and so are the views. Being on the bay/sound side was better than the golf side due to the beautiful sunrises, large private beach, and frequent dolphin and manatee sightings. We used the two kayaks to get closer to the sea life, and we were rewarded with dolphins jumping near to us. We are pretty familiar with the island since we've been twice before. This is definitely a serene place to go to get away from everything and unwind. We love that there are no cars - it's fun getting around on golf carts. Barnacles/Mainstays offers good casual dining. Sunsets are nice at the sandbar. And as an added bonus, the shells by the preserve are beautiful in the morning during low tide! If you go, bring lots of sunscreen for the day and insect repellent for mornings and evenings, specifically repellent for "no-see-ums". Water shoes are very helpful to protect your feet from all the shells. In fact, make sure to plan and pack well, because it's harder or more expensive to get things you need once you are on the island. The owner will give you these tips too, but these important ones are worth repeating! Anyway, our stay was absolutely perfect and we would definitely go back if the opportunity arises!

Just completed a 10 day stay at Sea La Vie and it was everything that we had hoped for. First of all, pre trip communication was outstanding. Leslie responded quickly to any and all questions and even ensured we had life jackets for my granddaughters. We arrived on the island two hours early and Ally & Sean accommodated the surprise arrival without issue. Upon arriving at the house, the grocery order had been filled and the house was just as described - beautiful. The house was immaculate and anything needed was available. The island is incredible, the island club pools very nice and my granddaughters thought driving around on golf carts was a lot of fun. I would recommend Sea La Vie to anyone looking to spend time on North Captiva.

The sunsets, sunrises from our beach, the manatees, island club resort facilities, a nature reserve, canopies of vegetation, no cars, - just golf carts, restaurants, kayaks, provide an idyllic getaway for all ages.

Relaxing Island Experience
Sea La Vie has to be one of the best rental homes on the island —the home is gorgeous and set up perfectly for a family stay; it’s directly on the beach with a gorgeous view from the decks and of sunrise on the beach; golf carts and club access the the pools. Leslie was SO proactive, communicating thoroughly in advance to help us understand lab our trip and checking in to ensure we had all we needed. She was extremely kind and caring—she genuinely wanted us to have the best experience and did all she could to ensure we did. And the property managers were responsive whoever we needed something. The island itself is like a large luxury yet casual campground. It was so easy to unplug and just enjoy island life. Our family went shelling on the west beach every morning; enjoyed pool time w the kids and played on our private beach daily. We were blessed with PERFECT weather in the high 70s/low 80s each day. And we took advantage of some really unique experiences like private massages on the balcony overlooking the ocean and a private chef to make a delicious family dinner with fresh locally caught fish. We highly recommend staying at this home if you are considering Sea La Vie!!!

This beautiful home with a private beach is about as good as it gets! For our family, that includes a toddler and an infant, it was perfectly equipped. That said, we would absolutely come back as a couple or a group of adults to enjoy a relaxing stay. I have never rented from a more responsive owner who went above and beyond to help us navigate some travel challenges we encountered.
