North Captiva: Groceries

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.  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.  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.

There is only ONE small grocery store on North Captiva Island so selection and quantities are limited. Pricing is above your normal grocery stores.  A suggestion we make to all our guests is to pre-order all your groceries.  Pre-ordering is a great way to stretch your vacation budget!  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 10% of the order 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.  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.
