Harbour View House: Where Two Islands Meet

~Experience the Best of Both Worlds~

Discover Santiva—the magical point where Sanibel and Captiva Islands converge—and enjoy access to two distinct Gulf Coast paradises from one exceptional waterfront home. To one side, explore Sanibel's legendary shelling beaches and abundant wildlife. To the other, embrace Captiva's pristine shores and unhurried island lifestyle.

Harbour View offers the ultimate waterfront escape, perched along serene Dinkins Bayou where spectacular sunrises and native wildlife create your daily backdrop. Whether you're boating from your private dock, kayaking tranquil waters, casting a line, or simply savoring peaceful bayou views, this is waterfront living at its absolute finest.

When should I book my airfare or finalize my travel arrangements? Please do not book airfare until your reservation has been approved, a deposit has been posted & paid to Cottages to Castles, & a reservation confirmation has been sent to you. -- has charged you a booking fee to process your reservation request.

How do I keep mosquitoes and no-see-ums away during my beach vacation? The best defense is an insect repellent with Picaridin, paired with light, long-sleeve coverage when you're not in the water. Loose, breathable long sleeves and pants block bites well, but that's not always practical at the beach, pool, or swimming in the Gulf — so a good Picaridin-based repellent is your go-to.

Guest favorites include Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Aerosol Spray and Bug Guard Wipes/Lotion (available on Avon. com), and Sawyer Picaridin Lotion (available on Amazon). Picaridin is effective against both mosquitoes and no-see-ums, doesn't feel greasy like Deet, and won't damage swimsuits or patio furniture. Apply before heading outside in the early morning or evening, when both pests are most active.
