Ground Level Pool Deck.
You'll think you walked into heaven as you enter Manatee Haven. The lower level pool deck is where most spend their time when not out at the beach or hiking the island. This level is fully screened in and features a 15' x 33' heated pool that is one of the largest on the island, a large hot tub, a full outdoor kitchen (includes 36" gas grill, sink, refrigerated drawers and ice machine), two dining areas, a 52" television, a Sonos speaker, a large outdoor shower, and a fish cleaning sink. There is a half bath inside the garage. Swim laps, play pool games of basketball, volleyball, or just sit and relax in the spa.
Bedroom Level.
The bedroom level of Manatee Haven has four bedrooms with 5 beds (two kings, one queen and two twin beds). Each of the bedrooms is fully tiled and beautifully appointed with island themes. The bedroom level includes a full ensuite master bath, and a shared full bathroom in the hallway. There is also a private screened lanai connected to the master bedroom that overlooks the pool area. A laundry closet with large washer and dryer is also located on this level. Our elevator provides access to this level from the pool deck level.
Living and Dining Level.
The living and dining level has a fully-equipped kitchen with granite countertops and a bar for an enjoyable breakfast or light lunch. Appliances are refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher and range. We have all small-wares you'll need from coffee maker and blender to waffle and ice cream makers. You'll have plenty of room to relax, have great conversations or watch television from our Natuzzi leather sectional. The dining area is off the kitchen and has large farmhouse table with seating for 8. There is also a full bath with shower on this level. A 275 square foot lanai is just off the great room through the stunning glass sliders and faces the Gulf where you can take pleasure in the view and relax with the Gulf breezes. The lanai features a dining table for 6 along with a small sofa and chairs for enjoying the ocean crisp salt air.
Observation Deck.
From the screened lanai there is a spiral staircase that leads to an observation deck, 49 feet above ground, with a grand 360-degree view of North Captiva Island, the Gulf, bay and surrounding islands. A telescope is available to view the night sky. The views are breathtaking. Our observation deck may be the highest on the island.
Home Entertainment.
We offer a full game closet with a multitude of board and card games. We keep many books. We have a DVD collection with over 700+ DVD's, stored in eleven 3-ring binders in the living room. The living room has a 55" SmartTV with Soundbar. All bedrooms have televisions and the pool deck also has a television. We have Sonos speakers throughout the house so you can easily stream your favorite music.
