CAPTIVA — South Seas Island Resort, a historic Florida tourist destination dating back to 1946, has been sold to a group of companies with mostly local ties for an undisclosed amount.

The three companies — Timbers Co., Wheelock Street Capital and The Ronto Group — that bought the 330-acre resort come from three different, yet similar worlds, and are uniquely positioned to bring some changes to the 75-year-old property.
