Kinsey's Beach Shack- Perfect getaway for two! | House in Captiva
1 Bedroom House in North Captiva, Captiva
The North Captiva Fish Camp is located on the peninsula of the island nestled between Safety Harbor and Pine Island Sound. It is accessible by private boat or commercial charter from Pineland marina. It was built around 1900 and has been owned and cherished by the Kinsey Family since 1962. It survived four major hurricanes and numerous tropical storms. Surrounded by white, shell beaches this house has its own private deep-water dock that's steps away from the front door, perfect for large boats and fishing in safety harbor. A cozy get-away designed for two to four people, it features full kitchen, remodeled bath, air conditioning throughout and two wide porches with rocking chairs that look over the beach. There simply is nothing else like it.

Q. IS THERE A GROCERY STORE ON THE ISLAND?
A. No. There is however, a small island “general store” called Mango’s. It is great for the “forgotten item” but not to be used as a full grocery store. We strongly encourage you to bring your own groceries (packed in plastic bags) and water. There are grocery stores on Pine Island Road, which is en route to Pineland Marina: (Publix, Walmart & Target).
Q. ARE THERE ANY RESTAURANTS ON THE ISLAND?
A. Yes. Barnacles is open for lunch and dinner, serving good island fare plus beer and wine. Mango’s has a pool side bar serving limited bar menu plus drinks. If you feel like exploring, there are waterfront restaurants on nearby islands, accessible by boat.
Q. IS THE WATER ON THE POINT SAFE?
A. Yes. However, it is chlorinated well water. We suggest bottled water for drinking, and tap water for cooking and bathing. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND YOU WILL BE STAYING ON A BARRIER ISLAND. Water comes at a premium; keep you usage to a minimum to avoid problems with the water system staying up with demand.

A. Yes. Please call for reservations and pricing information:
• Boats and Fun - Located on North Captiva and advertises canoe and kayak rentals.

A. No
Q. WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR GARBAGE?
A. There are two large trash cans for the Point House and one large trash can for the Fish Camp. REMEMBER... ALL TRASH MUST BE BARGED OFF THE ISLAND! Garbage should be secured in plastic bags before depositing in the garbage cans. Crush drink containers and break down boxes to avoid additional charges for garbage. Any garbage left outside the cans will cost you $10.00 per bag! Make sure can lids are secure so the local critters don't make a mess.
Q. IS THERE A FISH CLEANING STATION?
A. No.
Q. WHAT IS PROVIDED IN THE KITCHEN?
A. We try to keep the kitchen fully stocked with everything guests will need...wine glasses, knives, pots, pans, china etc. If you notice something we've missed, let us know. Also, help us out by not removing items from the house.
