Kingfisher Vacations is excited to announce the Sanibel Causeway will be open to the public starting January 2nd! We are excited to welcome guests back to the islands, but we ask you to be prepared for what you’ll see when entering Captiva and Sanibel Islands.

Despite robust efforts since Hurricane Ian, we are still cleaning up and recovering from the disaster. If you are looking for beautiful quiet beaches, sparkling pools, sunny weather, and a bit of an adventure we welcome you to come and stay at one of our repaired properties.
When you and your family return to Sanibel and Captiva, you’re in for a treat! Many of our properties have undergone extensive renovations as a result of the recovery efforts following Hurricane Ian. One such property is our Bella Vita rental in Captiva. Read on to learn about updates we’ve made to the property, or contact our team for booking info!
Our Bella Vita Rental in Captiva is Now Available to Rent
The Italian phrase “la Bella vita” means “the good life”, and soon you and your loved ones can experience it on Captiva! Our Bella Vita rental in Captiva is a five-bedroom, five-bathroom paradise for Florida travelers. Recently, it has received a complete makeover, including new furnishings, stairs, carpet, and wood floors inside. Outside, the property was updated with a new pool, landscaping, décor, and a fresh coat of paint.
Located near Captiva Village and various local attractions, this rental in Captiva is the perfect place to stay. A five-minute walk will take you to the beach or place you right in the heart of the action. However, you might never want to leave your room! Bella Vita boasts a spacious kitchen and an open-concept living and dining room on the main floor. Guests can spread out and relax in this rental, which sleeps up to 12 people. This makes it ideal for large families or a group of friends looking for a home base.
Amenities include AC, a large-screen TV, WiFi access, a hot tub, a BBQ grill, and more. Everyone will love taking a swim in the heated pool or lounging alongside it while palm trees sway in the breeze. Trust us, there’s no better getaway on the island!
Your Guide to Staying at Bella Vita
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, we ask you to please keep the following in mind prior to your stay at our Bella Vita rental in Captiva:
- Wi-Fi service in and around the island is intermittent, and though we have TVs on the property service providers are still at work fixing the connection. Please bring smartphones and tablets if you plan to watch any shows or programs you enjoy.
- Cellphone service on the island is also spotty.
- Since Internet service is unpredictable, some stores may be cash only.
- Expect construction and clean-up noise during your stay. While our Captiva office and rentals are open, the island itself is still in the active recovery process.
- While driving onto the islands be aware there is debris along the side of the roadways, use caution when driving through the island.
- There remains a great deal of debris, damage, recovery, and repair along all the roads on the islands. Please be aware and respectful of work crews.
- Bikers and walkers will have to be very careful if they intend to move around without a car.
- While there are some Sanibel restaurants open, please refrain from “touring” Sanibel so they can continue with their speedy recovery.
- Keep your reservation and ID readily available. A 9 PM curfew remains in effect. At this time only residents can travel during curfew hours.
