  Welcome to your very own Peace of Paradise - a unique round home on a resort-style property, tucked into the heart of North Captiva Island.
• 
  This bedroom is nap-worthy with its king sized bed to stretch out on and late afternoon light filtering in. Ahhhh, this is the peace you've been craving.
• 
  Pull up a stool at the kitchen island - it's where the appetizers land, the kids sneak fresh fruit, tropical drinks are mixed, and the cook stays in the conversation.
• 
  Pile onto the half-circle sectional after a beach day - built for the whole crew to sprawl out and recover from sun exposure, no one stuck on a folding chair.
• 
  Welcome to your very own Peace of Paradise. Splash in the private heated pool, stroll 7 min to the beach, zoom around in two 4-person golf carts, swing at the outdoor tiki bar, bbq and cook pizzas on the pool deck, swing in hammocks over white sand...
• 
• 
  We highly recommend booking Island Girl Charters for the boat ride over - your favorite shuttle to and from the car-free island. Be sure the kids keep their eyes peeled for dolphins as you journey through Pine Island Sound!
• 
  Cruise around the island in one of your two 4-person golf carts included in your stay. - This is what makes NCI truly unique and keeps guests coming back time and time again. Book your reservation today and experience it for yourself.
• 
  Plan a day at the public Island Club pool, lunch at Mango's, and some shopping at Boats and Fun - spot PP's round roof in the upper L corner!
• 
  Often we hear from our guests that they didn't find a need for Island Club's public pool - there's simply something beautiful about having & enjoying your very own tropical oasis.
• 
  The pool waterfall is a featured amenity that stands out among the crowd! The white noise it provides, paired with the tropical foliage surrounding it, simply can't be beat.
• 
  Belly up to the swing bar with a tropical drink in hand - yes, those are rope swings and yes, vacation just got better.
• 
  Bring that stack of books you've been meaning to dive into - there are so many purposeful spots on this property - perfect for finishing all of them.
• 
  Stock the outdoor tiki bar with your favorites - fresh key limes, dark rum, and pina colada mix are the unofficial island-time starter kit.
• 
  Slide open the door, you've arrived... "Peace of Paradise is just that - it is a beautiful, idyllic getaway that allows you rest & relaxation or fun& adventure if you want it." -Barbara

  There are floor to ceiling windows around the perimeter of the room, letting in beautiful light throughout the day.

  Imagine the stories that will be told here - the long meal kind, the second-bottle kind, the 'remember-when' kind.

  Pick out a puzzle and pull out a chair - everyone else can set off on an island adventure - your slow afternoon is perfectly planned out.

• 
  The coffee station that makes all of our adult guests happy can be found tucked between the bedrooms - first one up doesn't have to interrupt anyone to brew.

• 
  Start every day right - with a peace-filled cup of coffee.
• 
  The way we see it, whoever picks the vacation rental gets to claim the king master suite! Congrats! - You'll sleep better than you have in months. No neighbors to hear, no traffic noises to wake you.
• 
  Enjoy optimal privacy - open your eyes to nothing but tree tops - the master windows look out over tropical foliage. No other houses in frame.
• 
  Vacation is all about vacating your "real life" - you get to do whatever pleases you. The master with a king bed is built for the read-a-chapeter-then-nap kind of afternoon.

• 
  Close the french doors, stack oversized pillows against the headboard, and finally, read the book you packed - uninterrupted.

  Float the afternoon away - the pool is heated year-round, the pool towels are provided, so the only thing you have to plan is what's in your cup.
• 
  "We could be found at the outside bar & BBQ area most of the time when we weren't at the beach." -Andrew
• 
  Fire up the BBQ for burgers and shrimp skewers - you'll be right next to the swing bar and pool so the cook never misses out on the action.
• 
  The outdoor pizza grill is a crowd pleaser! - Favorite toppings, charred crust, and no one competing for the indoor oven space.
• 
  Grab a cold beverage and stretch out on the cabana-style lounge - a step from the tiki swing bar, dining table, and the grill.
• 
  "The patio area was perfect for dinner straight off the grill...
• 
  ...and for games. We would stay here again!" -Andre
• 
  Grill, plate, sit - the outdoor grill zone is steps from the table, creating an open-air kitchen with the bar just an arm's reach away.

• 
  Plate up a slice of key lime pie and watch the seabirds - this is the sweet quiet you've been craving.
• 
  Lounge on the upper deck and let the breeze in the palm fronds set the soundtrack - coffee in the morning and key lime pie at sunset.

  Everything on NCI is just a short golf cart ride from the property. - "The beach is only a short trip away, and "town" (aka the restaurant/bar) was close too!" -Christy
• 
  Wade into the gulf at the expansive sunset beach - white sand, absolutely no high-rises, just turquoise water and world-class shelling.
• 
  Notice the arrow pointing to Peace of Paradise on the island map. The property is just a quick walk to Boats and Fun, Mangoes & the harbor, and a quick golf cart ride to anywhere else on the island.

  "Peace of Paradise is a perfect name for this gem of a house on a gem of an island." -Shannon
• 
  "This place met all our expectations." -Samantha

  Book a fishing charter while you're here -the waters off North Captiva ruin you for inland, lake fishing.
• 
  From the air, you'll notice that the northern, residential portion of NCI is only a portion of your island experience - the island is your playground - step out and explore!
• 
  Skip the boat and go by air! - Private Pilots can fly into the 1800' grass strip by pre-arranging use of our membership to Salty Approach.
