About this property

Slip into island time the moment you arrive at Poppy’s Paradise

  • Slip into island time the moment you arrive at Poppy’s Paradise, a beautifully updated four-bedroom, four-bath vacation home tucked away on quiet Chapin Lane in the Village of Captiva Island. Just 400 feet from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf, this elevated coastal retreat offers private beach access and the rare luxury of being able to stroll to the island’s charming shops and restaurants whenever the mood strikes.

    Step inside and feel the relaxed rhythm of island living. The main level opens into a bright, welcoming living space designed for gathering after long beach days. The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and everything you need to prepare anything from a quick breakfast before the beach to a leisurely family dinner. Just beyond, the newly upgraded screened porch creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or an evening meal in the warm tropical air.

    With space for up to ten guests, the home offers comfort and privacy for everyone. Two spacious primary suites provide peaceful retreats, including one privately situated on the upper level with its own ensuite bath featuring a jetted tub and walk-in shower. The second primary suite is located on the main level with its own bath and generous storage space. A third bedroom with two full beds is paired with a nearby full bath, making it ideal for families or friends traveling together.

    Downstairs, a separate entertainment level adds another layer of fun to your stay. Accessible via the back stairway, this private space features a game room with a ping pong table, pool table, seating area, flat-screen TV, refrigerator, and bar area for casual gatherings. A fourth bedroom with two twin beds and a private bathroom with walk-in shower is also located on this level, creating a great hideaway for teens or guests who appreciate extra privacy.

    Outside, your own tropical oasis awaits. The spacious patio and pool area are designed for relaxation, surrounded by lush greenery that provides a sense of seclusion. Lounge chairs invite you to soak up the Florida sunshine, while the heated private pool and connected hot tub offer the perfect way to unwind after a day at the beach. A stainless steel gas grill nearby makes outdoor dining easy, whether you are preparing fresh seafood or a simple island barbecue. For families traveling with young children, a portable child safety fence is available and can be placed around the pool area for added peace of mind.

    Inside the home you will find thoughtful amenities throughout, including five flat-screen TVs, four DVD players, a CD player, beach towels, washer and dryer, garage parking, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

    One of the most beloved features of Poppy’s Paradise is its location. From here you can easily walk to the beach for sunrise shelling, wander into the village for dinner, or explore the laid-back charm that makes Captiva Island such a special destination.

    This home sleeps up to 10 guests and offers approximately 2,300 square feet of living space.

This is the perfect location for a family vacation on Captiva. 2 minute walk to the beach with private beach access, 5-10 minute walks to multiple shops and restaurants. The house is beautiful with plenty of room for larger groups. The pool is beautiful, clean, and very private (some pools on neighboring properties were visible from the street). Lots of activities for kids and adults. The host, Kevin, was fantastic and extremely kind. He went above and beyond to make sure our expectations were met. We already want to plan our next trip!

Paradise That Feels Like Home

This property was perfect for our family vacation. The house is very well stocked including chairs and umbrellas for the beach. The pool was refreshing after getting back from the beach and the grill was perfect for making a family dinner. The pool and ping pong table were perfect for late night fun. We will definitely be back.

Great Stay at Poppy’s Place

We had an incredible vacation at this charming Captiva Island beach house! Our two families stayed together, and the house easily accommodated all of us. It truly felt like a home away from home. Comfort and Convenience: The house was not only very nice but also incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed, from spacious bedrooms to a well-equipped kitchen. We appreciated the thoughtful amenities that made our stay enjoyable. Fantastic Pool Area: The pool area was a highlight! We spent lazy afternoons lounging by the pool, sipping cold drinks, and soaking up the Florida sun. It was the perfect spot for relaxation and family fun. Short Walk to the Beach: The location couldn’t be better. Just a short walk away, we discovered an amazing beach with powdery sand and crystal-clear waters. Sunsets were breathtaking, and we even spotted dolphins playing offshore.

GOAT Award for a family getaway!!

We’ve stayed in the area on several different spring break trips. We’ve been on the super private North Captiva, the upscale homes of Marco Island and areas of Estero Island. But this house on Captiva takes the cake for the Greatest of All Time trip. 1. It’s so close to the beach you really get the best of both worlds, a nice private escape with a pool and hot tub while also being on a beach. The town is also so close the teens could safely walk to the store on their own or go down to the beach even when the rest of us were done with the beach and the sun for the day. 2. The sleeping space and hangout space was just right. With a large family people can get tired of being together all of the time on a trip. This house accommodates the teens who want privacy to watch the latest slasher flick safely away from the kindergartner who wants to watch Bluie all day, and the mom who wants peace and quiet while she puts together a puzzle. Everyone could have their space! Even the hard working dad who needs to check-in at the office had a space for work.3. Proximity to everything else. The location could not be better. You’re a quick 15 minute drive to anywhere on the island and within walking distance to several restaurants. Don’t hesitate to book this home. It’s better than even the pictures can reveal.

Even better than the photos!

High end and very well-maintained home. Where to begin with how wonderful this house is?? First, the house is so close to the beach - I’d estimate it at between 100-200 yards away and about a 3 minute walk from the house. Wow! We were also a couple of blocks from several restaurants and some of the most well-known spots on Captiva, like the Bubble Room (try their spot Boops! Delicious!). We liked the pizza place as well. The home is spacious and was very clean. The outside screened-in deck is so nice to have, and the very warm pool and decadent hot tub were very much enjoyed by our crew. The owners are so very lovely and responsive and have thought of everything! The house is well stocked with all you need in the kitchen, including high-end pots and pans, a zillion kitchen implements and tools, and even Tupperware for guests to use. The garage has several bikes and lots of beach gear, including a wagon our little ones got to ride in. I can’t say enough about this home. I tried to immediately book the house for the same week next year and it’s already booked - not surprised! We were a family of adults, teens, kids, and toddlers and this house worked and had enough space for us all. If you are considering booking this home, just go ahead and end your search here. You will love it!

Beautiful house, close to beach, restaurants, shops. Nice pool and spa, well equipped kitchen. Just take note that the ground floor bedroom with twin beds is only accessed by an outside stairway. You probably wouldn’t want young children in there. We had a couple of “fix-it” matters that were taken care of the same day they were reported. We loved it all!
