Wedged between the Gulf beach and the bay on the narrowest part of Captiva, this venerable establishment was the regular haunt of cartoonist J. N. "Ding" Darling. Anne Morrow Lindbergh also dined here often while writing A Gift from the Sea. Situated in a sandy palm grove, these pink cottages have been upgraded, but still capture that Old Florida spirit. Some face the Gulf, others the bay. Themed to honor famous guests, they range in size from the honeymoon cottage, with barely enough room for its king-size bed and a tiny kitchen, to the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house. The spacious hotel rooms and apartments are in three modern buildings on stilts; all have screened balconies facing the Gulf or the bay. The Old Captiva House restaurant appears very much as it did in Ding Darling's days (note his cartoons adorning the dining-room walls). Charter captains dock at the full-service marina here.
