NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND (NCI) ADVENTURE
Peace of Paradise is the perfect location for quick adventures around North Captiva Island. The island is just 4 miles long and 1/2 mile wide at its widest and Peace of Paradise is centrally located so, you're never far from a new spot to explore. Your reservation at Peace of Paradise includes the use of 2 4-person golf carts and 5 fat tire bikes.
THE NATURE PRESERVE: Just 4 minutes (on bike) to the south, is the entrance to a 600 acre nature preserve. Here you'll discover two biking/hiking/jogging loops that wind you through the white sand paths toward the southern point of the island.
BEACHES - 2 minute and 20 second golf cart ride heading west will bring you to the beautifully maintained Captiva Castaway members-only entrance which is included in your reservation. This beach is westerly facing, looking out to the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico and features photo-worthy sunsets! World class shelling! The beach on the east side of NCI provides access to the waters of the Pine Island Sound - tends to be calm and is a favorite spot for dolphins to frolic!
ISLAND ACTIVITIES: Boats & Fun on NCI rents a large variety of toys! Boat rentals for exploring neighboring islands, kayak rentals for paddling among the dolphins, a paddle board to gain a completely different vantage point, or jet ski rentals to really get your zoom on.

We, the owners of Cowboys & Mermaids Vacation Rentals, believe that life is a beautiful gift. Everyday we count our blessings and strive to live life to the fullest. Our wish is for others to enjoy doing the same, as they travel to explore a magnificent corner of our country, stay at our beautifully maintained homes, and ultimately, make lasting memories with those who are near and dear to their hearts! - Ned & Molly
The house was in great, clean shape and was as described. Communication with the owner and Tortuga Properties was fantastic. The downstairs patio was perfect for games and dinner straight off the grill. We would stay here again! - Andre S.
Peace of Paradise is just that. It is a peaceful, idyllic getaway that allows you rest and relaxation or fun and adventure if you want it. We had a family of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids aged 6 to 11) and it was the perfect size with 4 bedrooms. The house was well equipped and had plenty of spreading out space. The pool was beautiful and always warm. The views from the deck were wonderful and we still miss sitting there every morning to drink our coffee. We saw a lot of North Captiva, including the planes landing at the airstrip and lots of sunsets at the beach. We also took a trip to Cabbage Key, where we saw the Manatees very close up!! Lovely home and island. - Barbara T.
There's no place like home...unless you're at Peace of Paradise! We spent three perfect weeks at Peace of Paradise this February and are already dreaming of returning. We've rented many, many houses in the past and most don't live up to the photos. This one exceeded all expectations. Molly was beyond helpful and wonderful to work with, as was the management company Tortuga Properties. The house felt new and clean and had more amenities than listed, including a huge library of children's books and enough beach/pool toys to keep our kids entertained. Riding around on golf carts was such a fun activity. The island is a dream if you have young kids--older kids I'm sure would be entertained too with excursions like boat rides, kayaking, etc. The shells are beyond incredible and fun to find every day. There are sand dollars all over the beach (it's like a treasure hunt finding ones that are whole!) and we found lots of starfish on the Eastern beach every morning. Manatees are easy to spot in the harbors. Mangoes is a super casual, beachy restaurant when you don't feel like cooking. The pool at the house is ideal, especially for families with little kids. We searched forever in FL to find a house that didn't have a pool next to the main living area. Most of the houses on NC are elevated, and the pool is at the ground level. The owners at Peace of Paradise were smart/thoughtful enough to put a very sturdy, locked iron fence surrounding the pool area. A few things to know that would have been helpful to us: 1- It's much easier than it seems it would be to have packages and groceries delivered to the island. Groceries get expensive with the delivery fees, but if you need something from Amazon the process is really pretty easy. Frozen fruit from Publix is nicely packaged and lasted us a long time for smoothies. I would also thaw it and give it to the kids with their lunch/dinner. 2- The house is circular. It felt like we were sleeping in a treehouse, which was a lot of fun. The ceilings are very high so it feels spacious even though all rooms are on one floor and next to each other. 3- You could get away with bringing a stroller--the roads are all sand but are packed enough that if you have more of a jogging stroller, it should be fine. We didn't bring one and wish we had--the roads are all so walkable and it would have been nice to go on family walks with our kids! Can't wait to return next year! - Amy S.
This was our second trip to the island and it lived up to everything we remembered! Peace of Paradise is a wonderful place. The downstairs bar and hammock area, along with the pool are AMAZING. Whenever we were not at the beach this is where we were. The house was clean and decorated so cute. The beach is only a short trip away, and "town" (aka the restaurant/bar) was close too! Clean up is still on-going on the island (March 2023), but it's still the most relaxing place! - Christy J.
First time on the island. The mgt and the process information were very helpful. I would do it again! - James E.
We really enjoyed the house! With three separate bedrooms for the adults and the bunk bed room for the kids it was just right. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes and small appliances. The kids really enjoyed the pool! While we adults enjoyed the lower deck area. It was very comfortable and a great place to escape to when the kids went to bed. Having the 2 golf carts was great as not every one wanted to go to the same place all the time. The double washer and dryer sets were great! Between towels and clothes we used them a lot. North Captiva is a fun little island! We learned a lot on this trip! Next time we come we will have even more fun! - James O.
House was lovely. Spacious enough for our family of 8, even to watch movies, or to eat a family meal at the table. Kitchen was well equipped for a family of 8. TV's available in many rooms, so in evening adults could watch movie in spacious living area, while little ones could watch Disney-ish movies in one of the bedrooms. Lots of DVD's available with movies for little ones, as well as Netflix for all. First floor outside spacious and well equipped. Our 5-year old grandchild was enamored with the sandbox. Two golf carts, and 5 bicycles were all terrific. No complaints about anything. Both Molly and Tortuga Properties were terrific. - Jeanette F.
Peace of Paradise was the perfect family vacation. Molly and the management company were super responsive and gave great recommendations. The beds were really comfortable. The master shower is great. Loved the fancy coffee station. The home is beautiful & comfortable. We had fresh fish delivered one evening and made dinner in the gourmet kitchen as well as breakfast every morning. The convenience of the bikes, golf carts were great. We came with our 4 kids (ages 17, 15, 11, 7) for an end of the school year get away. We had all the kids leave phones and all electronics at home. What a wonderful 3 days away! The house has tons of games and movies and we had a blast. I highly recommend Peace of Paradise! -Dawn C.
