About this property
Private Pool w/ Waterfall, Swing Bar, Happy Guests
Are you familiar with what it takes to vacation on North Captiva Island, FL? (If you are, you're welcome to jump down to the "We'd like to welcome you to Peace of Paradise!:" section below. - The island is excited to have you back!)
NEVER VACATIONED ON NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND? Here are some VERY important things to note: 1) There are no roads/bridges to this island. All vacationers and homeowners access the island either by ferry boat, chartered boat, private boat, or via small, private aircraft. The journey is as enchanting as the destination. Upon arrival, our guests are greeted at the ferry dock by our Property Management team and escorted in golf carts to Peace of Paradise. Use of two 4-person golf carts is included in your rental. 2) There are no major grocery stores on the island. All vacationers and homeowners provision their houses either by personally shopping prior to leaving the mainland or by hiring a personal shopper or management team to do the shopping for them.
Yes, there is some legwork involved in planning a vacation on NCI but the effort is worth it because this is what makes NCI so special!...Step away from the real world, relax...and PLAY! We'll guide you every step of the way! As soon as your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a link to our Digital Guidebook which will guide you through the planning process step-by step! If you ever still have questions, you can reach out to me (Molly) as I'm a very attentive host!

As soon as your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a link to our Digital Guidebook which will guide you through the planning process step-by step, including companies we highly recommend (such as Island Girl Charters for ferry travel to the island).

--ESCAPE & UNWIND--
Step away from the hustle-bustle of daily life. Pour a tropical drink and lounge beside the turquoise waters of your own private, resort-style pool. Listen to the splashing of the pool's waterfall and the palm fronds rustling above, as family and friends begin making new favorite memories. Great location on North Captiva Island; you're just a quick golf cart ride away from your members-only beach entrance, a 600 acre nature preserve, the island's restaurants, gift shops/cream shops, and favorite spots for dolphins and manatees to hang out! Come enjoy Peace of Paradise on the idyllic North Captiva Island!

We stayed at Peace of Paradise over the holidays and it surpassed expectations. Check in was a breeze with Kale meeting us at the dock with golf carts ready to go. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed to thoroughly enjoy our time there. Although the island still showed some signs of damage from the hurricane, the property was in perfect shape and the beach was amazing! Thanks for a great stay!!!
Enjoyed a little adventure to North Captiva from cold Minnesota! Had a great time walking the shell covered beaches and catching up with family in a quiet, relaxing place. Great home to stay at! Communication and planning was amazing, highly recommend.
Multi generational family vacation that didn’t disappoint! North Captiva is a fantastic place and Peace of Paradise was a lovely home away from home. The pool and outdoor space was the highlight of the home. Kitchen is stocked for all of our cooking needs. Highly recommend
This property has the most outdoor amenities on the entire island! Hammocks, tiki bar with bar swings, pool with a waterfall, grilling and pizza making and so much more. The beds were comfortable and the house was fully stocked. We love that the layout of the home is one big circle and every room is super unique! We will book this property again if it is available for our annual Labor Day trip.
We had great communication with the owner throughout our stay, and property managers for most of our stay. The house was beautiful with easy access to the beach! Fully equipped for our needs and lots to do right at the house.
The only minor thing is that the bunk room was fairly tight, and definitely would have been chaotic had we needed more than one or two of the beds.

Truly a Peace of Paradise
Such a wonderful oasis for the week!
As first time visitors to North Captiva Island we appreciated all the communication and helpful tips prior to our arrival. That communication continued throughout our stay. The house is well appointed with everything you need. The pool was splendid and having two golf carts that were brand new was a real treat.
Great place and excellent customer service
property was absolutely beautiful. Very relaxing vacation!!
A couple hiccups, but they were fixed, just annoying having repairmen in and out while vacationing.. but things happen!
The house was super cute and clean, the outside bar with swings was super fun and having a shower outside was convenient. The pool was nice with the waterfall very calming. The pool lights at night did not work. It was nice having 2 golf carts.
We spent thanksgiving on the island as first timers! The house was absolutely beautiful and fully stocked with every necessity you could possibly need. The owners and property manager were incredibly accommodating, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish.It was perfect for families spacious exterior, comfortable and cozy interior, and designed to help you relax the moment you walk in. My kids loved the amenities and we loved that they delete continuously entertained! They truly created a little island of paradise here! North Captiva itself is a treasure, full of great people, beautiful surroundings, and this home made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Amazing property, perfect for spending time with the family. Property Manager was always on top of things and allowed the check in process to be really smooth.
Such a fun spot! We had a great time and Molly was very friendly and easy to contact. Kale made our check in process so easy. Golf carts were so fun to drive.

Lovely long weekend
Our stay at Peace of Paradise was just perfect. The property is unique, tastefully decorated and lends itself to great gatherings. I’ve never seen a rental property with all the kitchen gadgets and appliances and this one had all of them! Our host and property manager were both very communicative and responsive. We would definitely stay here again!
Great time! Weather was terrific. Everyone couldn't have been nicer. Kids enjoyed the pool and beach
Our stay was great. Staff was on top of any issue or concerns as well as making sure we had great seafood while we were there. The island is beautiful.
Wonderful accommodations, location was perfect, close to where we needed to go, beach, etc. perfect size for our family. Kids loved the pool area. Outdoor shower was a must.
Photos of property are accurate. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything needed to make big family dinners. The outside area and pool were perfect and there was great access to the beach.
