From the top-floor living space, you’ll look across the preserve to the Gulf—a long view of green, then water. The heated pool sits just below, a few steps from the back door, so a swim is part of the afternoon rather than a plan. When you want the beach or the docks, two golf carts are waiting at the house.

“This house is so beautiful and well equipped for any family! I mean gates for the stairs, play corner with books and toys, gaming consoles, ping pong table and everything they need for the beach/pool. The entire space was so cozy and the lanai was perfectly setup for some quiet time while getting the ocean breeze. …”

“We just got back from our stay on North Captiva at Shellabration and are thinking of a return trip. The house was the perfect space for our group; 2 adults + 4 teens. Several spaces to all be together and lovely bedrooms when people needed their own space. The top floor Kitchen, Living, Dining space + porch was great. Comfortable couches for lounging. Plenty of space for meals and playing games, inside and out. …”
