About this house rental

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.

The Palm and Shell is a beautiful home and we had a great time with our family. The pool was the highlight and the short walk to the beach was wonderful. It felt like a private beach when we were there!

The house and the area was amazing. The beach was literally right behind the house and was like having your own private beach. The house was clean and secure. We will definitely come back again. Ryan was great he responded quickly to our requests.

the home is nice. highlights include the completely screened in huge pool area, which is perfect for kids. the home is tastefully designed and decorated. it's also quite large. on the downside, we were disappointed that we could not check in until 4pm - we arrived about 15 minutes before that and weren't able to get in any earlier. the check out time of 10pm also seemed a bit difficult, and unusual in my experience. during our stay we were advised that roofers were coming out to repair a leak, and some screen repairs around the pool were performed - not a big deal, but it seems like something that ought to be handled when the house is not occupied by guests. access to the beach is through an overgrown path. we also were harassed by some neighboring teenagers nearby. we all agreed it was nice, but i'd have preferred a little more "lax" check in and out times (check in 2pm? check out noon?) , repairs being done before we checked in, and neighbors who had some manners. we wouldn't go back, but it wasn't for the lack of a beautiful property.
