‘TWEEN WATERS ISLAND RESORT AND SPA
ABOUT TWEEN WATERS
Of all there is to enjoy every day at the legendary ‘Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa, what will you treasure most? Perfectly nestled between our pristine, private Gulf of Mexico beaches and the natural beauty of Pine Island Sound, ‘Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa uniquely combines historic charm, luxury amenities, pure relaxation, and adventurous recreation in the best Captiva Island vacation destination. Yes, it’s all here. You should be too.
Dating from 1931, what began as a collection of fishing cottages now includes 137 units and cottages that vary from standard guest rooms, studios and three-bedroom suites to two- and three-bedroom historic cottages. Decorated in a coastal, revitalized Old Florida style, many of the 19 historic cottages are named after the resort’s famous past visitors including Anne Morrow Lindbergh, J.N. “Ding” Darling and Theodore Roosevelt.
While the rooms are comfortable and cozy, most come to ‘Tween Waters for the miles of pristine beaches on its Gulf of Mexico side. Captiva and its sister island, Sanibel, are known to have some of the best shelling beaches and sunsets in the world. Shouldn’t every day be this good?

Today, our historic resort welcomes you with quality, comfort, value and island hospitality with 138 accommodations options including one-, two- and three-bedroom cottages and suites, studios and guestrooms.

Notification Room Kits Available By Request
Vibrating Alarm Clock/Receiver with Hanging Door Sensor
An alarm clock with signaler, bed shaker and built-in flashing strobe light to alert deaf and hard of hearing guests when the alarm clock goes off, the phone rings, someone knocks on the hotel door, or if a smoke/carbon monoxide alarm goes off in the room. How it works:
Audio Alarm Sensor
Simply place this by the hotel room’s existing smoke alarm, and if the alarm goes off, the audio alarm sensor will detect it and wirelessly send a signal to the all-in-one alarm clock/signaler which will then activate the flashing strobe and bed shaker.
Telephone In-Line Handset Amplifier
Plug this into the hotel room’s existing room telephone line to amplify call, making it easier for guests who have trouble hearing on the phone to hear their conversations.
