Captiva Island is a tropical paradise of rare beauty, charm and historical lore. It boasts acres of lush foliage, rare tropical birds, and a seemingly endless bounty of seashells. The 'Tween Waters Inn is located on this unique island, nestled between the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Flamingo Bay.

There's plenty to do on this island, in addition to the variety of pleasures that the surrounding waters provide. Starting with the 13 acres of the inn's grounds, there's a magnificent pool complex and tennis, bocce, and shuffleboard courts. A full-service marina provides dockage, as well as boat, canoe, and even bicycle rentals, along with professional fishing and shelling guides. The Pelican's Roost, the marina store, stocks everything from fishing gear to men's and ladies' sportswear.

The Inn consists of 126 units; apartments and cottages. Guests who rent the quaint cottages can do their own cooking in the fully furnished kitchens. Some units have fireplaces, private screened porches or balconies, convertible sofas and two or three bedrooms. Other rooms are in motel-style units, all with water views and furnishings that are comfortable and non-insulting to the surroundings, the expanse of endless sea stretching in all directions.

After a fulfilling day of sun and island leisure, you can satisfy your appetite with a selection of fresh fish at 'Tween Waters own "Old Captiva House," a favorite island eatery for over 50 years. More informal dining is available at the Inn's wonderfully rustic "Crow's Nest" pub, a perfect place to hunker in for snack food and light meals, served until the wee hours. The best way to cap off a perfect day on Captiva Island is with a perfect night. Take a quiet stroll on the beach and then enjoy the romantic charm of the "Crow's Nest Lounge", which features nightly entertainment.
