Luxury 5BR Gulf-View Home with Private Pool, Spa & High-Tech Entertainment

Rooms are large and bright, and some enjoy lovely views of the bay or the Gulf of Mexico. The home has a heated pool with a waterfall from the in-ground spa tub – all surrounded by a lovely sunny patio and made private with dense tropical landscaping.

The kitchen is “to die for,” as you might expect at “Almost Heaven.” It has just been further upgraded to sweet perfection, with additional lighting, a premium built-in microwave oven, new cabinet fronts, a slide-out trash receptacle, and more. The kitchen windows look down on the pool patio below, as seen in the photos.

Almost Heaven is unusual for its extensive and smart deployment of state-of-the-art technology. Of course, the house has an unlimited telephone (USA) and wireless internet connectivity throughout the house. But the fun really begins with the entertainment systems.

But it gets even better with multimedia! An X-box gaming system is installed with a large HDTV in the great room. Bring your favorite games and your own controllers. Movies, HD sports, big high-def TVs, and Blu-Ray. Even the bunk room has an enormous HDTV.

The primary suite at Almost Heaven is its own grand oasis of luxury. Slumber in spacious comfort in the premium king-size bed, or read-in bed propped against the bolster and throw pillows to the light of large lamps and recessed ceiling fixtures. A large, private balcony faces west (sunny in the afternoon) and looks down the short driveway to the Gulf of Mexico beach.

The primary bath includes an ample jet tub under the bright window (facing a tall privacy hedge of palms and other tropical landscaping). An oversized walk-in shower features a unique center-pivoting glass door and offers two spray systems (including a handheld massage wand). Plenty of storage is provided in the extended vanity (with two sink bowls), and there is a separate, well-lit make-up area with cushioned seating.

Four other bedrooms provide spacious sleeping quarters for guests at Almost Heaven. In the southeast corner is the king suite on the main level. The king has a private en-suite bathroom.

In the northeast corner of the upper level is the queen bedroom. The queen bedroom shares a large Jack-and-Jill bathroom with another bedroom with a new king bed on the upper level.

Also in the northeast corner is the bunk room on the main level. This cute room sleeps six with enough room for play, and it has a very large HDTV. It has an entrance into the main-level guest bathroom, which can also be accessed from the hallway.

All of the Almost Heaven bedrooms are spacious and airy, with high ceilings and deluxe furnishings, large closets, chests of drawers, and all kinds of quality lighting.

Almost Heaven Lives Up to Its Name

This was a family vacation that included 5 adults, two teenagers, three children ages 3-7 and an infant. The house accommodations were exactly what we needed. Plenty of space to gather as well as be able to have some alone time. It was very nice having two separate, but nearby, dining tables. The large kitchen area had two coffee pots and all the utensils, plates, and appliances we needed. For the beach, there was 10 chairs, 2 beach carts, plenty of towels and 1 umbrella; the other umbrella was broken. The house had board games, puzzles, and a ping pong table. It’s a great location, with close access to a beach area that is sparsely populated. Unfortunately, there remains the after effects of the hurricane; only a few stores were open and only to 6 pm. Overall, still a very relaxing and enjoyable location to vacation.

Fantastic vacation home

Almost Heaven lives up to its name. The house was tremendous, very clean, private, but a great location & so easily accessible to the ocean. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

accommodations great; pool and pool deck most enjoyed feature - both shade and sun while in the water. Landscapers particularly courteous while doing weekly clean up. great set-up with a fully stocked kitchen. Furniture in good shape and comfortable. Only issues were two maintenance items not resolved while there: master bathroom faucet and master bedroom window shade. Apparently. the owner is questioning the need for the window shade, but it makes sleeping in after sunrise easier.

Almost heaven but not quite

Great location and very roomy for our party of 11. Kids enjoyed the beach and the pool. Only a half mile walk from restaurants and shops on Captiva. It takes about 30 minutes to get back to the mainland in case you plan to drive anywhere else in Florida. Beds were comfortable and there was a ping pong table. Negatives-Property was hard to find because it is nestled back off the road a little and google maps takes you behind the property, not to the driveway. There were a few minor problems like sinks not draining properly, dryer took forever to dry things, vanity outlets not working, and door handles not secure. I wish there was a little more beach items to take with us. We had 6 adults and there was only one beach chair. We had 5 kids and only 3 shovels and no buckets and 3 body boards one of which was broken. When making our reservations, we had a choice to spend a little more money for a fully renovated house a little farther from the beach...in the end we think we made the right choice being closer to the beach with a few minor inconveniences.
