At ’Tween Waters Inn & Marina, our seaside cottages invite families to experience the perfect blend of Gulf-coast beauty, historic character and modern comfort. Situated on Captiva Island between the Gulf and Pine Island Sound, the inn offers over thirteen acres of beaches and water views to make every moment unforgettable.

Guests can choose from Beachview, Bayfront or Courtyard layouts, available in studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations. Each cottage offers a screened porch—perfect for morning coffee or sunset relaxation—and easy access to the inn’s pools, beach and dining.

Families love the Peterson Cottage 109, a historic two-bedroom, two-bath retreat honoring naturalist Roger Tory Peterson, complete with a kitchenette, spacious living area and Gulf views. For a cozy couple’s escape, the Charles Lindbergh Cottage 104 blends rustic charm with just-steps-away access to the sand.

The resort’s pristine southwest Florida beach is perfect for swimming, shelling and sandcastle-building, while adventurous guests can enjoy kayaking and paddleboarding through calm island waters. Families can also explore by bike or take in the sights on a nature walk.

When it’s time to unwind, the family pool offers fun for all ages, while the adults-only Serenity Pool provides a peaceful retreat. Dining options like Old Captiva House and Crow’s Nest are just steps from your door.

With roots dating back to 1931, ’Tween Waters preserves its legacy as a historic Captiva landmark while delivering every modern amenity families need. Staying in one of our cottages isn’t just a vacation—it’s the start of a family tradition you’ll treasure for years to come.
