Ahoy, land-ho! Gorgeous getaway destination ahead! Come visit La Casa Delphine: an elegant 3-bedroom waterfront haven, tucked away in the exotic habitats of North Captiva. No passport needed for up to 6 guests to escape the crowds, cars and bustling chaos of the mainland. This 3 story beach house offers a full kitchen and adjacent dining and living spaces, the master suite with accompanying bathroom & balcony, 2 upstairs bedrooms - one with queen and a fun 2 twin bedroom. There is abundance of windows, providing elemental views. Our favorite is the private harborside sitting porch. Recently renovated in 2018, fully prepared to host your vacation. New appliances, beautiful islandic atmosphere, AND included accoutrements for your trip… total #beachvibes.
What is La Casa Delphine? Well, it translates to the Dolphin House – and for good reason! Though the HOA mandates no in-home pets are allowed to accompany, you’ll find fishy friends along the harbors and docks. Immerse yourself in the oasis, where dolphins play and manatees graze. Traverse the various nature-filled hiking trails, or use the fat tire bikes provided. Roam the stretches of intimate, white sandy beaches. The surrounding waters of the Gulf of Mexico offer many activities – paddle the canals in kayaks (complete with life vests), rent jet skis, fishing charters, cast a line, hunt for shells & treasures with snorkel gear, venture out to meet a pod of porpoise pals!
