5323 Bayside Villas #24, Captiva, FL 33924

Highly sought-after, updated 3 bed, 3 bath two-story villa stands apart with rare features not found in other Bayside units, overlooking the tranquil waters of Pine Island Sound, where unchanging estuary views and native wildlife create a peaceful, elevated backdrop-just moments from the best of Captiva Island.

Rare features of this top-floor unit include a walk-in pantry-an uncommon luxury in Bayside 3-bedroom villas-all-new hurricane-impact windows and sliders, and a residence that has been gently used as a private second home and never enrolled in a rental program-an added advantage in condition and care.

Whether enjoyed as a private island retreat or leveraged as a high-performing investment, this residence offers rare flexibility within a renter-friendly community and stands as one of the least expensive 3-bedroom opportunities on Captiva. The interior is anchored by an updated kitchen with quartz countertops, glass-front upper cabinetry, and matching appliances, flowing seamlessly into the main living area.

Three generously sized bedrooms and three full baths include two primary suites-one on the main level and one upstairs-each with its own ensuite, offering ideal separation for guests or extended stays. A third guest bedroom also enjoys a private bath, while an in-unit washer and dryer adds everyday convenience.

The screened lanai feels like your own private perch above Pine Island Sound, where it's just you, the water, and the rhythm of nature. From both the kitchen and lanai, morning sunrises unfold over the Sound, setting the tone for slow mornings, passing wildlife, and uninterrupted calm.

Set within South Seas Island Resort in the desirable Bayside Villas enclave, just a stone's throw from the sugar-white Gulf beaches, the Village of Captiva, and Captiva Landing. Residents and guests enjoy a bayside pool and spa with generous lounging areas, along with under-building parking for added ease. Where time slows, views remain untouched, and every return feels like coming home-this is Captiva at its finest.
