The Palm & Shell Captiva Island Luxury Vacation Rental Home

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.

Nice vacation home
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.

Beautiful Home
This home was perfect for our family of nine. Plenty of room to all spread out! The beach is a very short walk from the house which allowed us to go back and forth with two toddlers for lunch and naps. The pool area is large and all screened in with a mini fridge and a full bathroom plus an outdoor shower area to rinse the sand off. So many pool and beach toys too! We would definitely rent this home again!

It was decent
It was ok for a quick get away but the dryer was broken, and the hot tub only worked for one day out of the 4 we were there. Pool was nice. There were some areas that were grimy areas but otherwise a nice place.

Wonderful home with prompt service
The house had everything we needed and more! We had 5 couples who stayed for a long weekend and greatly enjoyed all this house offered.. The pool/ hottub lanai was amazing and used frequently. Close, easy walk to beach. House is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping which makes it seem private and secluded. Very responsive with questions and help with hottub on a Sunday eve. Definitely recommend! Thanks!
