Sea Star  is the perfect island getaway: beach front home for rent with private pool, on Captiva's "Gold Coast." This fabulous beach front vacation estate sits right on the nearly-secluded Gulf of Mexico beach. Enjoy breathtaking views of ocean sunsets right from the main home. You've earned it: treat yourself and your loved ones to a Captiva vacation experience of a lifetime!

Fantastic Pool Location!

Sea Star's sunny interior sleeps 8 guests (4 bedrooms, 4 baths). Add the Guest Home for 6 more (3 bedrooms and 2 baths) for a total of 14 guests. Morning walks on the pristine beach, afternoons spent napping in the seaside hammock, poolside dining in front of a gorgeous Captiva sunset and evenings spent with friends and family under the stars... just another day in paradise, at Sea Star.

Located on the "Gold Coast" of Captiva Island 's estate zone, Sea Star offers the classic private estate experience for a weekly or monthly island beach vacation. Enter the grounds on the winding drive, past the guest house and lush gardens, and see the main house appear in front of you, just steps from the virtually private beach that awaits your arrival.

Beachfront, Yet Wonderfully Secluded

Sea Star's main house grand entrance welcomes you to a large, open living room and dining room with a direct view of the Gulf of Mexico through an entire wall of sliding glass doors. The large screened lanai houses a heated pool and is located on the same level as the living area, offering a comfortable indoor/outdoor lifestyle perfect for the warm Florida days and nights. The décor is beautifully appointed in colorful pastels and comfortable Caribbean Island casual style. You will know you're on a very special vacation at Sea Star.

The left side of the house offers the front guest bedroom with a queen bed and private bath. The elegant master bedroom has a dramatic Gulf view and offers a 4 poster king size bed, private entrance to the pool area and a beautiful, spacious master bath.

Sea Star's Sunny Kitchen

The right side of the house features the front "fish bedroom," wonderfully decorated in the proper style with two twin beds and a private bath. The 4th "surf's up" bedroom has a queen bed, and again, its own private bath.

The fully equipped kitchen is open and adjacent to the dining and living areas providing a large gathering spot for the 8 guests in the main house and the additional 6 guests from the optional guest house. The kitchen's separate sliding glass door makes poolside dining a breeze. Next to the kitchen, with another Gulf view, the large laundry room, additional refrigerator, private work/project area and separate beach entrance provide the perfect "clean up" space.

The guest house is a charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath house decorated in lively, island colors. There is a large twin bedroom on the main floor along with a bath, laundry room, full kitchen, living room, and a bright, cheery sunroom that almost brings the outside gardens into the house. The second floor has 2 bedrooms, one with queen bed and a large master with a king size bed. A spacious, full bath is shared by these two bedrooms. The guest house can be added so that you will occupy the full estate, but it will not be rented to anyone else should you prefer to stay in the main house only.

And there's something very special for the kids, too! Nestled in the edge of the forest is this brilliant little playhouse, or pretend "play boat". Ring the ship's bell, call up yer maties, plot your course on the treasure maps on the wall, then grab the pilot's wheel and go! Enjoy, and contribute to, the shell collection. The playhouse is far from the roadway, for parents' peace of mind.

Sea Star amenities include cable TVs, and wireless high speed Internet connections, gas BBQ grill, beach chairs, pool toys, beach towels, umbrellas and much more.
