Luxury Island Retreat at Salty Approach Airport

High-performing Vacation Rental Getaway! Must see this extraordinary Key West-style retreat built in 2021, perfectly positioned on Upper Captiva Island’s private airstrip. Designed for discerning buyers who value both refined living and adventurous access, this elevated luxury home offers a rare opportunity for pilots and island enthusiasts alike. Accessible only by boat, ferry, or private aircraft, Upper Captiva is a hidden gem where pristine beaches, unspoiled nature, and ultimate privacy define the lifestyle.

This stunning three-bedroom, three and a half-bathroom residence was expertly constructed on pilings with a metal roof and impact-resistant windows and doors, ensuring strength, safety, and peace of mind. The living space remained untouched by recent storm surge events, a testament to its thoughtful design and elevation. Inside, vaulted ceilings and a striking clerestory window system flood the home with natural light, creating a bright, breezy ambiance that complements its coastal surroundings. Expansive Gulf and bay views can be enjoyed from the open-air balcony and patio—ideal for relaxing or entertaining guests.

The chef’s kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, including a propane-fueled range with grill, and double oven, tailor-made for culinary enthusiasts. Each of the three spacious bedrooms features its own private en-suite bath, offering comfort and privacy for residents and guests, and additional sleeping space area. Outdoors, a heated saltwater pool and spa invite relaxation, enhanced by a fully automated system controllable remotely via smartphone app—perfect for preparing your soak before you arrive. The pool deck is finished with elegant pavers, while the composite decking on the screened porch and upper balcony offers durability and low maintenance in key outdoor living spaces. Down by the pool, a sandy beach lounge area and an undercover recreation space (which is also an open air hangar) provide a perfect setting for island-style entertainment and relaxation. A fire table adds ambiance for cozy evenings under the stars.
