Grey Heron Home & Guest House

“New and Beautiful coming soon !! Currently under construction for a fresh and stunning new look”

Grey Heron is directly on the beach on Captiva Drive, in the “Gold Coast” section of Captiva Island. This is a great location with lots of privacy and a gorgeous stretch of tropical white-sand beach. The Grey Heron main house has three large bedrooms. Your own private, heated pool with an in-ground spa tub is surrounded by a furnished sun deck and tropical landscaping beyond. The cascading sun decks offer magnificent views, while a shaded and screened porch offers a place to dine outdoors and enjoy cool breezes during midday. Grey Heron has been extensively updated, including kitchen renovations. And there is plenty of room in the lovely Grey Heron Guest House, which sleeps up to six persons in three bedrooms and two baths with a full kitchen. (The guest house is no longer rented separately with exception of mid-August through mid-November.)

The living room at Grey Heron naturally takes advantage of the lovely view of the beach and palm trees. This is a great place to watch the sunset, though you may be drawn out onto the expansive main-level sundeck just outside the glass. A fireplace (sorry, fireplaces are not available to guests) and large HDTV, along with very comfortable furniture and tasteful decorations, make this the natural gathering spot after dark.

When it’s mealtime, there are many options. The kitchen enjoys a view through the palms to the Gulf of Mexico. The breakfast nook seats five and is conveniently close to the many work surfaces in the kitchen. A formal dining table is set up for six, but extra chairs can accommodate more. Outdoors is another dining table for six enclosed within a screened lanai – ideal for morning coffee or meals anytime. The gas grill is right outside on the main-level sundeck.

The upper level of Grey Heron is dedicated to the grand primary suite. Enter from the upstairs landing to find the spacious bedroom with a cathedral ceiling and glass wall facing the Gulf of Mexico beach. There are two sun decks off the primary bedroom: one larger one facing west and overlooking the pool and beach, and another private balcony facing south.

The primary bathroom is a work of art with beautiful tile and strategically placed windows bringing in natural light. Down the corridor is a walk-in shower with a large bench.

There are two more suites for guests in the Grey Heron main house. One has a king bed and the other has a full bed. There are also 2 sofa sleepers to accommodate a family of 8 in the main house.

The NEW Game Room area is great for enjoying family time with 2 full beds and a sofa sleeper, plenty of space to lounge out and relax. A large screen TV and ping pong table with a snack area for your enjoyment, including a mini refrigerator and microwave. Perfect for the family movie nights !
