Vacation Rental Planning Is A Breeze With Royal Shell

Imagine Florida vacation rentals near white sand beaches with picturesque sunsets. Or maybe you prefer rolling green hills or mountains and waterfalls.

Royal Shell has been around since 1996 and we are proud to be the largest vacation rental company in Southwest Florida. Some of our properties are pet-friendly and some have access to private beaches and the Gulf of Mexico. If a different aesthetic appeals to you, we also offer vacation rentals in Central Florida and North Carolina. Let us know what kind of home you’re looking for, and we’ll do our best to make sure you have the perfect vacation.

Royal Shell has more than 500 vacation rental homes on Sanibel and Captiva Islands and about 1,500 mainland and island homes throughout Southwest Florida, and in Ocala and North Carolina. We can accommodate nightly, weekly, monthly and annual stays. Additionally, our homes come in a variety of styles and sizes. In fact, some homes can sleep up to 16 people.

Featured Vacation Rentals

One of the unique things about our vacation rentals in Southwest Florida, Ocala and Western North Carolina is that each area has something special to offer. Our agents can help you trade a cold, gray, blustery winter for a sun-kissed, palm-fringed, blissful beach, horseback riding on rolling green hills or a quiet vacation in the Western North Carolina mountains. Need a place to nest for a year or two? Our agents can help you find the perfect place to land, whether you prefer a seasonal rental, long-term rental or want to purchase your own vacation home.

Sanibel and Captiva Islands are known for their white sand beaches and serene atmosphere. Visit the islands and get on island time and learn what it really means to slow down. Fort Myers and Bonita Springs are more affordable and laidback, tropical Florida towns. Fort Myers Beach boasts a lively nightlife and music scene while Bonita Beach is usually a less-crowded gem. Naples is known for its shopping, beaches, dining and art scene. Cape Coral is one of the newest cities in the area. It features a network of interconnected, navigable canals, making it pretty easy to find a vacation rental home with a view. It’s also centrally located between Bonita Springs, Fort Myers and the Islands.

Ocala is in Central Florida surrounded by beautiful horse farms and it’s known for being one of the equestrian centers of the world.  Golden Ocala features stables, equine care, lessons, horse trails and sport training. The World Equestrian Center is minutes away from the Golden Ocala rentals in Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club.

Cashiers, Highlands, Sapphire Valley and Lake Toxaway vacation properties sit near the North Carolina and South Carolina border and are not far from North Carolina and Georgia state lines. They are charming small North Carolina towns and the mountains and surrounding waterfalls speak for themselves in terms of the area’s natural beauty.
