Oh this is just the coolest place, owned by some even cooler people. My dad and I have an unspoken…read morerule that when we are driving anywhere, so long as we don't have a flight to catch or something time sensitive, that if we see a really cool looking business of any sort we immediately pull over to check it out. We were visiting Ft. Myers area and thought this looked like a fun stop so we did just that, and were not disappointed!! SO much to look at, and the best part is that everything is handmade! Some things are imported from other caribbean islands, Indonesia, and a few other places, but most of the stuff is collected and made in shop by the owners themselves, Tim and Kitty, which just makes it feel all the more special! We could even hear Kitty sawing away at something in the back while we were there, just made the experience even more real. We talked to Tim almost the entire time we visited, he is one of those genuine, good, down-to-earth people and I really loved chatting with him. There was endless art in the store and it was super cool to hear the stories behind a lot of it and the process of making some of the different pieces. Tim also gave me an adorable lil shell turtle for free before we left, how sweet! Even if you don't end up buying anything definitely check them out!

The cats were so friendly and the fam had a great time. WILL. BE. RETURNING. The next time we are in Florida!

We went in to purchase a hutch but we didn't need the top part. I told the lady owner I understood…read moreI probably had purchase the entire set, but then she offered to keep it and not even offer to give me a slight discount. So I'm sure she'll resell it. But what really got me was her man employee that had to get the thing out of the store. It's like someone just ran over his cat and then backed back over it again in front of him. He was grouchy and uncomfortable to work with as I had to help him get it taken apart and then out the door. Not a thank you for helping him or nothing. So not only did I pay full price, I didn't get the whole hutch AND I had to do manual labor, but the worst thing of all was his demeanor. Put a freaking smile on your face dude. Or get out of the customer service business, you belong at the DMV honestly.

Every year we visit Sanibel and Captiva Island. This is a spot we always stop for to pick up those…read moreunique sea shells we never find. In the past the customer service has been terrible, like really bad, but this last visit, it was very different. There were two ladies working in the store, and both welcomed us and said hello, asked if we needed help. Much improved! This is the store you go to buy sea shells, that's it! They have a few tee-shirts and hats but you come here to buy a shell or two or 10. There are probably thousands of different shells, from tiny shells to larger shells, some are pick yourself and some are behind a case. There are also decorative shells and very rare shells that sell for over $100. I do think you should stop here for shells, I also think they are expensive in ways. I am not sure where they purchase their shells but some that are super tiny, can run over $1.50 a shell. My wife bought one that was $2.00 and was smaller than a dime. But I guess it might be rare. I think most of these shells, especially the small ones should be 25 cents. My wife and her family like to do crafting so having a large mix variety of shells would also be beneficial. Overall this is your spot to go for sea shells. Plain and simple. It is the best spot in my opinion, there are a few stores around the island that sells shells, but Sea Shells has by far the biggest selection!

After our last visit I have to increase my rating. This is a store we visit each year for our…read morevacation to Sanibel/Captiva Island. In the past the customer service has been terrible! This past year though, the service was so much better, it actually made a great shopping experience. There was a younger lady and an older lady, but both were welcoming, greeted us, asked if we needed help and were just friendly. It was such a great improvement! This is your one stop shop for buying shells. All those seashells you want but cannot find, this is where you come. They have thousands of different shells, from tiny shells to larger shells. They also have decorative shells that either have been made into a figurine or painted. We always buy a couple unique looking ones. Sanibel and Captiva are known for their shelling but some of these you just never find, or at least we have never found. My only issue still is with the price. Some of the tiniest shells cost so much money! A tiny starfish the size of quarter might run you $1.50 or more. The prices just seem high. I would expect the tiny ones to be around 25 cents, but I think the cheapest one is 50 cents. I don't know where they get their shells from, but I do think its expensive. I also wish they had a big bag of random shells put together. I didn't really see that and you have so many options, it would be nice. Picking one tiny shell at a time can be a hassle and costs add up quickly. Overall this is your spot to go for sea shells, if there is something you really want, they have it here. A lot of unique shells, even some rare shells. I would highly recommend stopping here now that the customer service has improved!

So, I managed to stay out while the ladies enjoyed their ice cream. When they finished their dessert, they came out, promptly saw this place, and walked in. Well, I walked in, knowing I would spend some money. They had loose geodes in some crates. I chose one, purchased it, and then cracked it open with their machine. Not that I have a bucket list, but if I did have one, I would scratch this item off. Thanks to the people at Spirit Of The Earth, I now have a geode.
