Rebuilding of historic Captiva Island property officially begins

Construction has begun on a new Captiva Island Inn, the historic hotel demolished after suffering substantial damaged during Hurricane Ian in 2022. 

The rebuilt inn, located at 11508 and 11509 Andy Rosse Lane, will feature two elevated buildings totaling 8,454 square feet says Stevens Construction, which calls this the “first ground-up Captiva accommodations to begin construction since Ian.” 

The Fort Myers construction company, which is charged with the project, say each structure will have five guest units with private entries, great rooms, kitchenettes, bathrooms and front porches.
