About this property

Dreaming of a sprawling, stunning Captiva Island home that’s just steps away from the beach? Longing for a private poolside oasis under swaying palm trees? Welcome to the Palm & Shell, a stunning vacation home that offers the best of both beachside and poolside luxury.

We believe every day on Captiva is something to celebrate and we've furnished the Palm & Shell with that philosophy in mind. Our huge chef’s kitchen and dining area are appointed with every convenience for dining in, carrying out and everything in between. Our spacious and comfortable living room offers plenty of gathering space and family-friendly amenities, including a smart TV, DVD collection, high-speed Wifi, large reading library and card and board games.

The soaring, screened atrium, lanai and pool bar will surely be a favorite gathering spot for relaxing, grilling, and chilling. Enjoy our large, heated pool and hot tub, day and night.

Our private beach path is just steps from Captiva’s famed South Seas beach. We provide beach chairs, umbrellas, a beach cart, beach toys and everything else you’ll need. All you have to worry about is enjoying yourself!

The Palm & Shell has 5 luxurious bedrooms and sleeps up to 12. And while the home doesn't include resort amenity access, you won't want to leave except to enjoy some of the many nearby restaurants, shops and island attractions. You can even rent a golf cart to get around quickly and easily.
Come make magical Captiva memories at the Palm & Shell. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

** What better way to explore with our 4 seater golf carts? There are 2 golf carts for rent to accomodate a big group! Inquire with Dream Vacations to add to your stay**

While you won't have resort amenity access, you won't need it as our home has everything you'll need and there are several restaurants just outside the gates of the resort for you to enjoy.

Paradise All Around

The location, house, amenities and everything else associated with our stay at this home were perfect. We were in regular communication with the owners via text, and any question was answered within a few minutes. The pool, hot tub and private path to the beach (2 minute walk) were the highlights. Views of the gulf from the second story and even the kitchen were welcome surprises. We will be back again for sure.

Perfect!

Beautiful big house. Well appointed. Heavy rain caused a bit of overflow in the pool but problem was taken care of immediately. Highly recommend. Signs of hurricane recovery permeate both Sanibel and Captiva but everything you might need is open for business (though limited). Our stay was heavenly!

Beautiful Vacation with family

This was such a beautiful home for a vacation with my 3 children and their spouses and my grandchildren. The location to the beach was so close. The pool was amazing. Everyone had an amazing time and looking forward to another vacation there.
