OUR STORY
We’re a Kansas family that fell in love with the Southwest Florida islands during a family vacation in 2008.
Over the years, these islands became a special place for our family—a place for beach days, boating, shelling, wildlife and, most importantly, time together.
In 2019, our search for a quieter island experience brought us to North Captiva and Gulf Swells & Sea Shells. Since then, this home has given our family countless memories, and we’re happy to share that same island experience with yours.
