Saba Winds   is a premier Captiva Island private home estate with over 148 feet of white sand Gulf beach front as part of Captiva's continuous 5 miles of beach. Unlike any other, and quite a jog! And Saba Winds Estate enjoys a full water view of those spectacular Florida Gulf sunsets. Watch for the dolphins playing along the shoreline.

You will find the house tastefully decorated, light & airy with spacious rooms, luxurious baths and comfortable common areas. The back doors at Saba Winds open right onto the very private warm sandy beach. A screened lanai, private deck, pool deck and the beach deck nested in the sandy dunes all afford comfortable exposure to the outdoors. The location is a prestigious and quiet residential section of Captiva. From the moment you enter the estate, you'll know you've arrived someplace special. Stately royal palms line the pristine drive (photo above right), and the lush tropical gardens have an instant soothing effect as you pass the pool on your way to the house.

Beachfront Seclusion

Family Friendly

Saba Winds is very family friendly - it's so easy with children here. There is a lot of room to play outdoors, well away from the road. You can relax on the beach deck with the beach in plain view, or set beach chairs directly on the sand. There is a sandy backyard area that is plain view of the screened lanai, as well as a beautiful grassy tropical lawn area. Also consider the beautiful den which you can designate as a kids area: hook up the video games, pull out the sofa bed and hang out. Sanibel Rentals can make any and all arrangements you may require for a roll-a-way bed, crib, playpen, etc.

The new (2007) downstairs apartment is spacious, bright and very comfortable. The lovely main room opens onto a small furnished patio, then onward down the path to the Gulf of Mexico beach.

At the other end of the apartment, walk right out to the pool and sun patio.

There is a large bedroom with king bed, a sitting area with large flat-screen TV, a full kitchen, bath with shower, and washer/dryer. This area is private from the main house upstairs (no indoor access between).
