About this property

UPDATE: We are excited to report that Sunsplashed Villa has been renovated and updated, and is re-opening for visitors in 2024. We're looking forward to welcoming you back to Captiva Island!

>> Click here for the latest information on reopenings of Captiva and Sanibel restaurants, bars, recreation providers, shops , and other businesses: https://sanibel-captiva.org/open-businesses-in-sanibel-florida/

Step into comfortable luxury at Sunsplashed Villa, a 5-bedroom, 5-bath Mediterranean-style beach-block home with a private courtyard pool. Up to 12 family members and friends can sleep comfortably in three master suites and two bedrooms -- and gather in two living rooms, an outdoor elevated terrace, and a spacious poolside veranda.

Located in the heart of tiny Captiva Village, at 11514 Andy Rosse Lane, Sunsplashed Villa is less than a three-minute walk from many restaurants, bars, coffee, ice cream, pizza, a grocery and liquor store, two marinas, and the spectacular bay and beaches of beautiful Captiva Island.

Sunsplashed Villa is private and secluded, yet in the center of it all. When you walk through the front door, you don't step into a house, but a walled courtyard patio with an inviting pool and multiple sunny, and covered, seating areas. When you step outside, chances are you'll hear the fun sounds of guitars or steel drums on your left from the restaurants of the village, and feel the Gulf breezes on the right from the beach down the block.

The three master suites and two bedrooms are cleverly situated so that everybody has their own space: a secluded top floor king suite, two side-by-side main-floor bedrooms, a pool-level king suite with a den, and a completely separate Terrace Suite with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and private entrance.

We're looking forward to welcoming you to the tropical island village of Captiva, and the comfortable luxury of Sunsplashed Villa. We know you're going to love it as much as we do.

Fabulous property in a great location

The space, decor, and location are amazing at Sun Splashed Villa on Captiva. My husband and I hosted our children, spouses and young grandchildren (2 toddlers and 2 infants) for a week and we enjoyed our time immensely. The only dark cloud was the housekeeping and some maintenance issues. The floors and baseboards of two bathrooms were dirty upon arrival with dirty rugs. We found 2 pills on the floors that had been overlooked and could have been dangerous with toddlers and babies in the house. Two burners didn't work and there was no plug in the children's bathroom for bathing. The Terrace Suite had an ant infestation that was annoying. The sheets in the Terrace Suite were old with small tears. While no property is perfect, there were more issues than we expected at this price point. Despite the cleanliness issues, the staff was very responsive to each call and the service people were great! Again, great property in the perfect location. Housekeeping needs some work.

Paradise

Our family consisted of my husband and I and our 4 adult children. The place could not have been more perfect. So close to the beach and yet in the center of town by all the restaurants. We could hear the music from the restaurants at night, which the kids loved, but it always stopped at 10:00. The house had all the amenities to cook amazing meals but we found it easier to eat out. We would definitely come back!!!

Amazing property with an even better location

We just completed our stay with a group of friends and their children and we all had an amazing time. The beach is a short walk down the street and the house had all of the appropriate beach gear. After a day at the beach, the pool was the perfect place to relax and the depth was perfect for children. In terms of location, the house is on the ideal street in Captiva and EVERYTHING is within a short walk (groceries, restaurants, pizza, stores, shops, coffee, etc). If you are looking to get away and enjoy the relaxation and beauty of Captiva, I would highly recommend this listing.

Beautiful Home

This home is great for people traveling with several households. We had several families stay and we never felt crowded and loved the common areas, mostly the pool and hot tub! The kids swam from morning till bedtime! We had a vow renewal planned for the beach (short walk from the house) but we had thunder storms roll in so we had the ceremony at the house by the pool under cover. The house is beautiful enough for photos and a ceremony in a pinch! The owner left a sweet card with goody bag and she was always very responsive to my messages. We wish we could come back every year but unfortunately the price of the home rental has gone up too high after this year. Otherwise we would be back! We had a lovely time! Thank you!

Great Week at Sunsplashed

This property is top notch. There were 9 of us - siblings, spouses and a nephew. All agreed that it was one of the top properties visited over the years. The location is fantastic, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. We spent every afternoon enjoying the pool and hot tub.

Perfect spot on Captiva Island

We stayed at this property last year before the new owners. Jill is very responsive. Also they gave the place a nice fresh makeover! There is plenty of seating, kitchen equipment, towels for the pool and tons of beach chairs and two wagons to pull everything to the beach which is a block away. We had a great time and the eight of us agreed we will come back here next year. Only request is more dish towels and something to clean the grill with.

Perfect House for Our 3 Generations Family

Such a GREAT house with enough separate spaces for our 4 separate households and 3 generations of FAMILY! Wonderful location within walking distance of everything we needed and wanted. We did rent a vehicle and used it for driving over to Sanibel a few times, but it would not have been necessary. The elevator helped my 84 year old mother to access the whole house, since stairs can be tiring for her. We also appreciated how well-stocked the kitchen was! Thanksgiving Dinner was easy (also credit to Publix grocery store)! Comfy Beds (super-soft blankets), GAMES in every cabinet and cupboard, plenty of loungers by the pool, great outdoor gathering space… just WOW for so many small details that turn a good rental experience into a GREAT EXPERIENCE! Thank You!

Great Layout for a large group!

The layout provided bedrooms on each level and out over the garage, which was perfect to grant everyone their own quiet sleeping spaces. In addition, the house provides great common spaces: outside by the pool, in the first floor rec room and on the main floor with its open layout. Some could be playing games in the dining room while others were watching the Olympics on the TV and yet we were all together! The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking for a crowd and the open pantry shelves were appreciated. As others have shared - the location is perfect. The pool provides a private oasis, and yet you're in the hub of the shops and restaurants and so close to the beach! New owners were very responsive and Royal Shell also very helpful! We recommend without hesitation!

Prime Captiva location!

Our family had a fabulous (and safe, during another surge of the global pandemic) vacation in this home. The location is the BEST feature - right on Andy Rosse Lane...steps from Key Lime Bistro, the market, RC Otters, and Captiva Pizza. It's just a short walk to Mucky Duck and the public beach access. We traveled with two 6 year olds and a 10 year old that had no problem schlepping plentiful float toys to the beach access. One member of our party uses a prosthetic leg, so he thought the beach was a bit more effort - but thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub/pool combo. We should've contacted YOLO Water Sports well in advance of our August stay as they were sold out of golf cart rentals. We went with a Moke rental instead. That was handy for carting up to Doc Fords and a Dolphin Cruise that departed out of the bigger resort. The home was very well appointed - in kitchen supplies/appliances, pool toys and games. Some of the pool/patio furniture is a bit worn and could use a refresh - but it was functional. There is an intercom system that is not functional (and very unnecessary). Carpets/rugs need a good deep clean (or replacement), but the home was very comfortable and spacious. The home has new owners who honored our reservation (even though the sale occurred between our booking and actual vacation - thank goodness!) and may have plans in the works for updating/refreshing some of the more worn items. This is a prime rental and provides lots of lovely Captiva fun!

Nice but needs upgrades

The location was perfect . . . short walk to beach, shops, restaurants, marinas, etc. There was construction next door that started early every day . . . that should have been mentioned when setting up the reservation. The layout of the house is great. Some things need to be updated (new owner is in the process, I believe). Pictures are better than reality in this particular case. Pool was nice. Reported a few items in the house and the property maintenance folks were very nice and prompt in handling. Overall, enjoyed the stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jill S.

Our family has been making happy memories here on the Gulf Coast for four generations. (The picture above is my husband's grandfather, "The Colonel," taking him out for a boat ride on the bay, in 1970.)

Although we've vacationed in great towns up and down the Gulf Coast, Captiva is uniquely special to us. A tropical island, beautiful and uncrowded, with relaxed "island attitude," yet full of fun and activities.

It's our most favorite place to be.

Why they chose this property

We love vacation rentals. Whenever we get together, for a family vacation, a ladies' or men's weekend, or a trip away with friends, we look for a house by the water with lots of restaurants and activities nearby.

When Sunsplashed Villa became available, we were excited to own a great island village property for our family, and also to make it available for guests, like you. We're looking forward to providing a great home for you to build happy memories that will last a lifetime -- living your own island adventures.

And we hope that once you've experienced Sunaplashed Villa and the tropical magic of Captiva, we'll be welcoming you back as guests and friends for years to come.
