Gorgeous Bayfront Estate on Captiva Drive w/ Pool

Summary:
Welcome to the Narrows- A private and secluded estate on Captiva Drive, perfect for large gatherings and getaways! This one of a kind Captiva Drive estate aims to please- featuring 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths across four stories and two wings, a lagoon with oversized pool and bar, and game room. If you are familiar with Captiva, you will know this property as The Narrows. If not, this property is one of the select few located directly on Roosevelt Channel (with dock) that also features beach views.

The Space:
This incredibly unique home features 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths across three distinct and sprawling levels. The first level features an expansive game room with pool table, TV, and other assorted games. This room exits directly out to the pool. The garage is located on the opposite side of this level and features three spaces for cars. The second level features a living room and kitchen on the left side and two detached bedrooms on the right side, both of which feature private entrances in the front of the house and can be accessed independently of the main house (great for teens or kids). Both the bedrooms and living room/kitchen have exceptional views of Roosevelt channel and exit out onto back patio with stairs leading down to pool. The third level of this home features three bedrooms, including the master bedroom, all of which feature fantastic views of the Gulf of Mexico and Roosevelt Channel. The third level also features an expansive patio accessible from both the master bedroom and left most guest bedroom upstairs. The master bedroom features an incredibly unique Widow's Walk, providing guests with 360 degree views of the Gulf of Mexico, Roosevelt Channel, and all of Captiva and Sanibel. This is the only Widow's Walk of this height on Captiva and is commonly known to be the very highest point on the island. Be one of the first to experience it following a full top to bottom reconstruction, encompassing nearly two years of work (completed in February of 2024). The house also features a kayak launch area and a private dock, although the private dock will not be accessible to guests until Spring of 2024. Last but certainly not least, the house features a large heated lagoon style pool amidst a private tropical landscape in the back.

Guest Access:
Guests can use the following amenities-

1) Entire main house
2) Three car garage
3) Private pool and patio bar
4) Private canoe and kayak launching area
5) Game room- Pool table, TV, ping pong, etc.
6) LED living room TV with streaming services and 1400+ channels
7) 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, plus outdoor pool bath
8) Private beach access

The Neighborhood:
Homes on Captiva Drive are extremely unique and few and far between, with only a handful of homes existing on this prestigious avenue. It is directly on Turner Beach/Blind Pass, and occupies over an acre of beach to bay property.

Getting Around:
Uber can bring guests to the home from RSW airport.

Interaction with Guests:
We provide guests with as much privacy as they would like, yet are available in an instant as needed to address any issues, large or small. We are available through phone, text, e-mail, and in person any time assistance is needed and are equipped to handle any guest request.

AMAZING!!
This property has everything we were looking for and more. Got to see the dolphins almost everyday from the dock. Woke up every morning with an amazing view of the sunrise. The beach is only a short walk from the house.

Enjoyable BUT be warned!
Where to begin! We had many problems with this house some of which were sorted out promptly by the management company - other problems can only be sorted out by a complete renovation. It is shabby but not chic. On arrival we found one bedroom and a fridge had not been cleaned - this was rectified eventually but it made us suspicious of the whole level of cleanliness which was probably unjustified. The barbecue was rusted and unusable but we got a replacement. We spent the first 24 hours troubleshooting. For our last two nights one of the bedrooms was without lights. The pool needs to be refurbished but was greatly enjoyed. The closets and garage need to be sorted out as they are full of junk. However the position of the house is fabulous and we loved watching dolphins from the jetty. It made us sad that such a wonderful house on such a glorious site and on a lovely island has been so neglected. We did have a good time but wouldn’t go back.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Outside area of home was beautiful. Inside was very dated and mold on ceiling and walls.
This property should not be rented in this condition. Too many issues to name in a shirt review. Roof leaked, lights wouldn’t turn off, no drapes in master, holes in doors. Broken mirror. Black mold coming out of vents and on a wall in a bathroom - could not use that room because of smell. Too many issues to list - shouldn’t be rented

Huge and amazing location, a touch dated but very clean
We enjoyed this house for an extended golf/resto/fishing weekend. It is actually larger than expected and plenty to do without leaving property. This was built/designed in the 90s so dated but not a functional issue at all.
