Fully Remodeled North Captiva Island Harbor View Haven with Dock, Club Amenities & Timeless Island Charm! There’s something special about arriving by water, tying up at your own dock, and knowing you’re home. 341 Spanish Gold Lane is a fully renovated waterfront retreat where coastal charm meets modern peace of mind - designed for effortless island living and unforgettable days on the water. Set along a tranquil natural canal, this home with 4 sleeping rooms and 2 baths has been thoughtfully transformed from top to bottom. Nearly every room captures calming views across the canal and harbor toward Pine Island Sound, creating a constant connection to the water. Recent upgrades include impact-rated windows, a new metal roof, new exterior decks and railings, a whole-house RO system, and a beautifully remodeled interior that’s professionally decorated & move-in ready. The open-concept living level is anchored by a custom-designed kitchen - a true gathering place. A full wall of windows frames the water beyond the expansive screened porch, while elegant cabinetry, generous storage, and a breakfast bar make entertaining effortless. Whether it is casual mornings or sunset dinners, this space was designed for relaxation. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private sanctuary, complete with a walk-in closet, a spa-style bath with a custom-tile shower, and both a screened/covered porch and a sunny waterside deck - perfect for spotting manatees gliding by. Two additional guest rooms include a refined harbor-view sleeping room and a custom-built bunk room that sleeps five, ideal for hosting family and friends. Just off the screened dining porch, the charming “lighthouse room” has its own entrance and can be used as a 4th sleeping space, an office, or an artist’s studio. Climb one more level, and you’ll find the ultimate sunrise-to-sunset deck, where stargazing comes naturally, and the sound of the sea fills the night air. Outside, the home continues to impress. Your private dock provides a protected harbor for your vessel. At the same time, nearby outdoor amenities create a true island playground - an outdoor bar with swing seats & a cozy fire table lounge, kayak storage, beach gear storage, enclosed outdoor shower, and more. Everything you need for life on the water is already here. As a member of the Safety Harbor Club, this property includes full access to a community pool, tennis & pickleball courts, waterfront restaurant, beach access, and additional dockage for guest boats—bringing resort-style convenience right to your doorstep. This is the kind of home you don’t just visit… You arrive at. A rare, Gulf-access island retreat where thoughtful upgrades, harbor view living, and relaxed luxury come together seamlessly.  At 341 Spanish Gold Lane, you don’t chase the island lifestyle - you sail straight into it.  If you have been looking for a fully remodeled waterfront home with views and dockage at a lower price point, this special home is a must see!
