    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.

    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!

    My husband and I spent our anniversary week on North Captiva. The Perfect Shell was literally perfect. It had everything imaginable like one would have at home plus everything needed for a perfect beach trip.

    The Perfect Shell is a great house-perfect for our needs. It was very clean and well stocked and very comfortable. It feels bright and open and updated. The pool was a lifesaver with our kids when we had quite a bit of rain. The property owners are super responsive and helpful and the check in/out and grocery process was much easier than our previous visit (to a different house under different management). It’s really well located-close to the beach and the nature preserve trail-a very short walk and even shorter golf cart ride. Next time we come back to North Captiva we plan to book this house again!

    We fell in love with this island! Absolutely hands down stunning. Never been here before. Our first time and the house was amazing. Amy and Ken fit every single need. They made sure we had absolutely everything we need. We felt right at home. If I could give this home more than 5 stars I would. This was our favorite family vacation we have ever taken. We will be back! Thank you so much Amy and Ken for going literally above and beyond for us. I would recommend y’all for anyone. This home is way more than worth it. It’s a beautiful dream. Very well kept together, close to the beach, peaceful (which is my favorite) !! Not a lot of people around me. They have a local hang out spot where we met friends which was awesome! Everyone was super friendly! Overall we are very much pleased! BEAUTIFUL HOME! Thank you again! ?
