New ListingBAYSIDE VILLAS AT SOUTH SEAS | BEAUTIFUL BAY VIEWS & THE BEST OF CAPTIVA LIVING Morning light across the water, boats drifting through the channel, and a screened lanai that invites you to linger-this is the Captiva escape you have been imagining. Located at 5234 Bayside Villas within the gated South Seas community, this inviting one-bedroom, two-full-bath residence pairs sweeping views of Pine Island Sound and Roosevelt Channel with charming coastal interiors and easy access to the beach. The bright, open living area keeps the waterfront scenery in view, while diagonal tile flooring, crown molding, decorative wall paneling, and built-in shelving add character throughout. The kitchen features white Shaker-style cabinetry, a shimmering aqua tile backsplash, generous counter space, and a breakfast bar perfect for casual meals or conversation while preparing dinner. Coordinating pendant lights and an aqua-accented tray ceiling bring a playful touch of island color to the space. Sliding glass doors open to the screened lanai, where there is room to dine, unwind, and enjoy the beautiful backdrop of mangroves and open water. Start the day with coffee and a sunrise, watch for coastal birds, or simply settle into the peaceful rhythm of the bay. The spacious bedroom features plantation shutters and an en-suite bath, while a second full bathroom offers added convenience when entertaining guests. Bayside Villas makes it easy to enjoy time outdoors with a large heated community pool, an oversized spa, an expansive sundeck, barbecue grills, and outdoor gathering areas surrounded by tropical landscaping. Common laundry facilities, elevator access, and under-building parking add everyday convenience. A short stroll brings you to Captiva's Gulf shoreline for shelling, beach walks, and the spectacular sunsets that make island evenings so memorable. Beyond the community, Captiva Village offers restaurants, shops, and galleries around Andy Rosse Lane, with local favorites such as RC Otter's, Keylime Bistro, and The Green Flash nearby. McCarthy's Marina and Captiva Cruises offer opportunities for dolphin watching, sunset cruises, shelling excursions, and exploring neighboring islands. Spend a day boating or fishing, discover the coastline by kayak, or venture onto neighboring Sanibel to enjoy the wildlife, trails, and scenic drives of J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Additional South Seas experiences-including The Clutch golf course, resort pools, fitness facilities, select dining venues, beach services, and resort transportation-are available through qualifying Club Captiva access, subject to membership requirements, availability, and applicable fees. From quiet mornings overlooking the bay to sunset walks along the beach, this charming villa brings together the scenery, recreation, and relaxed coastal atmosphere that make Captiva such a special place to call your own.
