This was our second time staying at Perfect Shell. It was just as amazing this time as it was our first time. Had everything we needed, the weather was perfect, the gulf was calm and crystal-clear water. We plan to rent this home again when we return to the island. The host and staff are wonderful!!

We really enjoyed staying in the Perfect Shell for two weeks. Everything was comfortable in the house. The pool was super nice. Loved walking along the beach shelling. All questions were answered and there were no problems. If in North Captiva again we will definitely stay here!

The Perfect Shell was exceptional. It felt like home away from home! We enjoyed the pool, screened in porch, comfy couch, and comfortable beds. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals and the coffee bar was an added perk. We were close enough to the beach to walk easily, but we also enjoyed using the golf cart to explore the island. We will definitely be returning!

We loved this stay! Great home just down from the beach so it perfect to get your steps in or just jump in the golf cart. Home was clean, well stocked with everything you need to cook, spices, extra blankets/pillows, toiletries, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. Pool was a great feature as we used it every day. Shelling was good and beaches were not crowded at all! Information provided by the host was great especially since it was our first time on the island. It covered everything. Concierge service was great and very helpful with introducing us to the island, transporting our luggage and grocery delivery. (Little pricy but worth it) Restaurants/bars were great options on days we didn’t want to cook. We highly recommend this place for a quiet, lazy, romantic and remote get away!

Amy and Ken have clearly put a lot of effort and time into this property. The house was very well stocked, there was nothing additional we needed. If you’re going to stay on this island you need to take advantage of Lori and Tortuga concierge services. It makes your life that much easier. The new pool was absolutely glorious so we split her a time from the beach and the pool and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect vacation. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you next year.
If you see a deep hole on the beach, don’t get too close. You might see a ghost, sand crab, pretty creative.
Beautiful sunset moments away

This house is appropriately named as it is perfect. From location, communication, cleanliness, amenities provided, house layout, decor, pool there’s not one thing I would change. I’ve stayed in dozens of VRBO’s and this one is the best! If you’re considering this house, don’t hesitate, you’ll love it.

Awesome family friendly stay at North Captiva

Clean and modern family friendly home that was perfect for our family of five, including a 2 year old. Close to the best beach on the island and a private pool to relax in. The home had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. We will definitely look to book again, thank you Amy!

Beautiful luxury beach house!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Perfect Shell! This home had everything we needed and more with very comfortable beds and cozy, high end furniture and decor along with easy access to the beach and a beautiful pool area.

This was our second stay at The Perfect Shell and it was every bit as delightful as the first. The house is extremely comfortable and supplied with everything one would need which makes it feel like a home away from home. We definitely hope to return there for future stays on North Captiva.
