Shell Yeah

Shell Yeah !!!! Welcome to paradise! This perfectly located and spacious 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home is a short walk down a private sand and shell road directly to private beach access and all that beautiful Captiva Island has to offer. Located on prestigious Wightman Lane, you are also only a few short steps away from the restaurants, bars, live music, and other amenities in downtown Captiva Village. With no nearby public beach parking, the area is generally free of random beachgoers, making this an exclusive and wonderful experience.

The home has a huge screened-in “courtyard” with a pool, spa hot tub, outdoor shower, multiple covered seating areas, a wet bar, and lush island vegetation – your own personal island sanctuary! There are additional screened outdoor seating areas throughout the home, providing an incredible and unique outdoor living experience.

The home comfortably sleeps 14 people – and all 5 bedrooms have a connected bathroom. The home features a large upper-floor primary bedroom with a private primary bathroom and screened lanai. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms feature full/twin bunk beds and large closets. The 4th bedroom has a king bed and en-suite bath. The 5th bedroom has a king bed and en-suite bath. The 4th and 5th bedrooms have private entrances off the relaxing pool and courtyard areas! Plenty of private space for parents to relax in the three primary suites!

The home has everything you need to enjoy meals at home when you’re not walking to Captiva Village restaurant (a few hundred feet away!) or nearby Sanibel Island, including a fully stocked kitchen and a Weber grill.

We look forward to hosting you and your guests on beautiful Captiva Island!

  Extremely fun house to stay in. There's a ton of screened in areas including a pool, hot tub and an outdoor shower! Three great bedrooms and 2 bunkbed rooms. 5 bathrooms. Wonderful porches with views of the road. It was fun to walk past the other beautiful houses on the private road to get the beach. Steps to restaurants, ice cream parlor, and shops. There was an eagles nest in the tree in the front yard. We will definitely stay again.

  We had a great mom and daughter spring break trip at Shell Yeah. The house was perfect for 11 of us. Many screened in areas to lounge around by the pool and also just sit and enjoy the scenery. Whenever we needed any items for the house, american realty responded promptly. The beach chairs/umbrellas/wagon were a huge bonus! The 3 master bedrooms were all spread out giving each group privacy when needed.

  Shell Yeah offers a perfect location for our large family gathering of 13. Plenty of room to spread out yet a great space for all of us to be together. The pool and hot tub were used every day and the beach being at the end of the road was perfect. Just one block from the Island store, activities and restaurants made walking a breeze. Plenty of parking on the property as well. Will we go back???? Shell Yeah we will!

  This property was perfect for our family. It has three master suites and two children’s rooms. The kitchen is well stocked. Close to the beach and a few shops makes it an ideal place to vacation. The pool was clean and kept the five grandchildren entertained when we were not at the beach. Inwould recommend Shell Yeah to large family group!

  Second year in Shell Yeah. Great place for beach lovers with a short walk down the street to the gulf. Shells are abundant. The house spoiled us with all its space. Three private master bedrooms, screened porch, quaint sitting areas around the walkway looking down over the large pool area, plus the big living room and a dining room table to all be together, or not. Only thing missing is a pool bathroom downstairs to make it a perfect location to vacation in paradise. Captiva Strong. We'll be back.

  We had a wonderful vacation with our kids and grandkids-Shell Yeah was the perfect place for us to stay! There was 15 total and everyone had their own space but we were all together. The pool, hot tub and outdoor space was amazing! I think my little boys enjoyed the pool as much as the ocean! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing home with us!!! We will definitely be back 😊

  House was great. The Two bedrooms that are separate from the main house and surround the pool and hot tube area is a really great setup. All decks and pool area are screened to keep the bugs away. The property company was outstanding. I asked if it was possible to get a few more beach chairs at one point not really expecting even an answer but there they were a couple hours later 5 brand new beach chairs. Every question answered very fast. Can’t wait to go again.

  First time staying on Wightman Lane in the many years of going to beautiful Captiva. It's been our family's yearly vacation spot together on the beach for over 15 years. Walk to the beach was doable even for this senior citizen. Close to good island eating places and shopping. Watching the sun rise over Pine Island Sound and set over the gulf offers spectacular pictures. Great family week with lots of nature sightings. Joey's ice cream pontoon boat pulling up on the beach is always a treat. Plenty of water thrills available too. Try to stay on the banana boat!

  Jacqueline L from Zimmerman, MN recommends this vacation rental

  The property was beautiful and was in a wonderful location to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We have stayed on the island three times before at different properties and our family's opinion was that this was their favorite. It was large enough so that everyone had their own space if they wanted, but a large place to gather also. The walk to the beach was short and beautiful and quiet. We only had a couple of complaints. The carpet in the hallways and bedrooms were fairly dirty, and the washer broke the first time we tried to use it. Besides the carpet the rest of the house was immaculate. American Realty has a washer and dryer available which helped that situation, but it was an inconvenience. A maintenance person was sent but was unable to fix it. I understand that things happen, but I was hoping to hear something back from the property owners about our issues, but did not. With that being said, our family would definitely rent this property again! It was beautiful! Doc Fords was our favorite place to eat and the desserts from the Bubble Room were fantastic! And American Realty was very knowledgeable and helpful in our booking. Great customer service!

  Susan M O from Victoria, TX recommends this vacation rental

  We were so pleased with Shell Yeah house on Captiva! The location was within steps of both Captiva Village on one end of Wightman Lane and a beautiful beach on the other end. It however, is a very quiet street. There were 3 master suites and 2 double bed bunk rooms all with their own bath. The best part was that the pool, hot tub and ping pong areas were all enclosed in a screened in porch that kept the no-seeums at bay. (Bring lots of bug spray for going to beach and walking around). Lots of beach supplies, great shelling, 2 gas BBQ pits and good supply of cookware and dishes. We would definitely rent again. American Realty was very responsive to a few minor needs - 10 minutes and they were there. I highly recommend this wonderful house and thank you to the owners for opening up their beautiful home. It was the best family Christmas ever. (We had 10 in our group.)

  Amazing. The home was so well kept and beautiful. We used every space and room in the house. There were so many spaces inside and outside to relax and spend time with family. It doesn't hurt that the beach is steps away! We love going to the sunrise each morning and sunset each evening! I would love to stay there again!

  This is our 4th or 5th time to rent this home. It’s near restaurants and the beach. It’s layout is ideal, the pool, outdoor kitchen, hot tub and shower are beautiful and practical. The kitchen is well equipped, there are plenty of towels, and plenty of beach towels in the linen closet. The only thing this house needs to be PERFECT is a little wagon, otherwise, it’s as perfect as a house can be! We love this home and plan to continue to return over the years.
