Grocery Info

When planning a vacation on North Captiva, the most common questions are about groceries. What do I do if I run out of veggies? What! I have to cook on vacation? Yes! And, we think you'll actually enjoy it. With only a bit of planning with the tools provided below, you and your family or friends will be gathering for more than just a great vacation. Grilling outside on the sands or cooking up a storm in a great vacation house kitchen. Think beach foods...the foods of summer all year long. Not complicated, just good.

There is only ONE small grocery store on North Captiva Island. Selection and quantities are limited. Pricing is above your normal grocery stores. We suggest to all our guests that a great way to stretch your vacation dollars is to order and purchase groceries prior to your arrival. The grocery stores listed below will accept faxed orders. Most require a 48 hour advanced fax. We recommend calling the store to insure your fax has been received. Some grocery stores charge a minimal amount to prepack. (In the past it has been $15.00 or free). Verify the packing charge when faxing. Depending on your travel selection (driving, renting a car or utilizing the ground transportation) we will suggest to you the easiest location to shop at. A sample fax cover sheet is provided with this information sheet. The more specific you are about brand and quantity, the more accurate your order will be.
