HISTORY OF THE ISLAND
Located on Florida’s Southwest Gulf Cost of Mexico is the Paradise Island of Upper Captiva Island.
Upper Captiva Island is also called North Captiva Island and is located north of Captiva Island and south Cayo Costa Island.
Calusa Indians first inhabited Captiva Island over 6,000 years ago up until the conquistadors arrived and nearly wiped out the tribes.
Ponce De Leon sailed these waters in the early 1500’s and famous pirates frequented the Island such as Jose’ Gaspar. The Island earned its name from the women held “captive” by the pirates for ransom.
Some believe a pirate treasure is buried on these islands, just waiting to be discovered.
A hurricane in 1921 severed Captiva Island into two separate landmasses, thus creating the island that we now know as “Upper or North Captiva Island” There are no Bridges or roads to captiva. Access is only by boat or small aircraft. (Click “Getting Here” for information on getting to North Captiva Island.)
This lush secluded barrier island is famous for it’s breath taking sunsets and pristine white sandy beaches that offer true unspoiled natural beauty. A tropical island playground awaits you at upper Captiva Island, “Come enjoy the ultimate Island Experience!”

Beautiful property. Very well-appointed, meticulously cared for - inside and out.
Very well done. Super comfortable. Very well appointed inside. The house is well cared for, and so are the grounds, exceptionally so. Steve the owner goes above and beyond to make sure the house is sparkling clean, well stocked with the basics. Cooks, you can leave your spice cupboard home. Steve was exceptionally responsive to our questions about the property. One of the golf carts malfunctioned and Steve quickly gave us access to one of his personal golf carts. The pool is beautiful, heated and well-tended. The pool table and horseshoes kept us busy when we weren’t walking or running the fabulous beach and soft sandy streets. This house and property are top-of-the-line, and we have rented several times on Upper Captiva, and many times with VRBO throughout the world. You won’t find a nicer more comfortable house.Olivia T.
Wonderful home
We highly recommend Las Olas. We have been on the island 3 times and this is the best house yet! Steve is highly reponsive and the house has it all!
