BUY THE OPPORTUNITY WHILE IT’S HERE. There is a remarkable disconnect between the value found on Captiva Island today and what buyers are paying for comparable Gulf-front properties throughout Florida. As Captiva continues an exciting transformation, opportunities like this beautifully furnished Gulf-front corner villa become increasingly difficult to overlook. Panoramic Gulf views, white-sand beaches, unforgettable sunsets, daily rental flexibility and the Captiva lifestyle, all at a value that deserves a closer look.Expansive windows and a bright, open layout fill this 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa with natural light and coastal charm. Its elevated first-floor corner location creates an incredible connection to the beach and Gulf, making the shoreline feel just steps away. Features include crown molding, plantation shutters, impact-rated windows and doors, a new AC system with all-new equipment, and a private screened lanai overlooking the Gulf, the perfect place to enjoy the breeze and spectacular sunsets. The spacious open-concept design flows effortlessly for everyday living and entertaining, while both bedrooms are generously sized for family and guests. For those looking to offset ownership costs or maximize investment potential, Beach Villas offers the flexibility of daily rentals and a proven history of strong rental performance, with income potential exceeding $100,000 annually. The villa is currently not enrolled in a rental program, allowing a new owner to select their own management company, create their own rental strategy, or simply keep it as a private island retreat. Owners enjoy a dedicated pool, pickleball and tennis courts, grilling areas and ground-level storage. From here, it's an easy walk, bike ride or golf cart trip to the heart of Captiva, with island shops, dining, boating and the relaxed lifestyle that has made Captiva one of Florida's most special destinations. Captiva is changing. The island is moving forward. And when you compare what you can own here to other premier coastal destinations, the value is compelling. Whether you're looking for a Gulf-front escape, an income-producing investment, or both, this is an opportunity worth recognizing while it's still here.

Highly sought-after, updated 3 bed, 3 bath two-story villa stands apart with rare features not found in other Bayside units, overlooking the tranquil waters of Pine Island Sound, where unchanging estuary views and native wildlife create a peaceful, elevated backdrop—just moments from the best of Captiva Island. Rare features of this top-floor unit include a walk-in pantry—an uncommon luxury in Bayside 3-bedroom villas—all-new hurricane-impact windows and sliders, and a residence that has been gently used as a private second home and never enrolled in a rental program—an added advantage in condition and care.

The interior is anchored by an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, glass-front upper cabinetry, and matching appliances, flowing seamlessly into the main living area. Three generously sized bedrooms and three full baths include two primary suites—one on the main level and one upstairs—each with its own ensuite, offering ideal separation for guests or extended stays. A third guest bedroom also enjoys a private bath, while an in-unit washer and dryer adds everyday convenience. The screened lanai feels like your own private perch above Pine Island Sound, where it’s just you, the water, and the rhythm of nature. From both the kitchen and lanai, morning sunrises unfold over the Sound, setting the tone for slow mornings, passing wildlife, and uninterrupted calm. Set within South Seas Island Resort in the desirable Bayside Villas enclave, just a stone’s throw from the sugar-white Gulf beaches, the Village of Captiva, and Captiva Landing. Residents and guests enjoy a bayside pool and spa with generous lounging areas, along with under-building parking for added ease. Where time slows, views remain untouched, and every return feels like coming home—this is Captiva at its finest.
