Ca d'Mare  is an incredible vacation home in the Captiva Village area, within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. The new four-bedroom house (completed 2000) features a private heated pool with screen enclosure. Stroll down quiet and beautiful Chapin Lane to the beach, or the library and Chapel by the Sea. See more photos of Ca d'Mare on the second page: the bedrooms and the ground-level apartment.

Great Room

Ca d'Mare is a much larger house than one might imagine while viewing the outside. The main entrance opens into a two-story great room with fireplace and balcony (see photo left). On this level are the kitchen, dining area, a large screened porch with outdoor dining (seats six), and guest bedrooms and baths. Upstairs is the master suite, with its palatial bathroom featuring a huge whirlpool tub. From the master suite there is a private deck with steps leading to the rooftop sky deck.

Downstairs is a pool-level family room with lots of comfortable chairs and a TV. Large doors open onto the pool deck, protected from "too much nature" by a large screen enclosure. A hallway leads to a separate, full apartment with its own living room, bedroom, den with sleep sofa and TV, sunny full kitchen, full bath and laundry room with washer/dryer. This is ideal for guests who don't care for going up and down stairs, or as a separate quarters for extended family or a care giver. See photos of the downstairs apartment on the second page.
