This wonderful vacation home has many features for your enjoyment starting with the heated, saltwater pool with a waterfall. The home is 2100 sf under air and has an open floor plan. The kitchen is designed for those who enjoy cooking, with a pot filler and double ovens. The master bedroom has a king size bed and an additional sitting room with views of the water. This house has a western exposure, so the sunsets on the canal are often spectacular! Lots of dining and sitting areas on the large lanai. The backyard is very private with lush, tropical landscaping. This home is convenient to shopping, dining, golf and many area attractions including islands, beaches and a waterpark. Much to love here! NOTE - This is a quaint, 30-year old home with old Florida charm. It is probably not the right fit if you generally prefer more contemporary properties. We note this only because we truly want our guests to enjoy their stay. Also, please be aware that there is a video camera above the garage door that allows security monitoring of the driveway and front door approach area.
The property was everything I wanted for a perfect getaway with the family. It was clean and spacious. Watching wildlife and sunsets from the dock was a favorite activity for everyone. The host was so helpful. He texted and called to provide local activity suggestions based on our interests. I would definitely stay again when visiting the Cape Coral area.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The house and pool was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again. We vacationed here for the whole month of February .
As it stated in the description, it is a dated property, but very spacious and laid out perfect when you have more than one family. Closer to the street than I would have expected and therefore a bit of street noise.
Overall the property was outstanding. Quaint. Not at all like the newer properties. Was a home away from home. Just a short distance from Publix, Dollar Store, Target and more. Would recommend to others. Easy access to Veterans Parkway. Great place to stay. Very quite neighborhood.
This home was spacious and beautifully decorated. From the moment you walk in, it feels like your home away from home. The kitchen is equipped with everything you could need. There is an enclosed porch overlooking the pool and canal. The outside pool area is nice and clean and has lots of seating to watch the beautiful sunsets. Mark is a wonderful host. He checked in with us and offered advice on what to do & where to eat. He also directed us to the best beaches in the area. (don't miss Siesta Key, it is worth the drive)
Loved our stay!
This was our second time there, that alone should be a testament to what a good time we've had. The place is very clean, well supplied with all the appliances you may need. There is a large grill for all your grilling needs with a spare propane tank. The pool has a hot water cascade that makes it very comfortable. The host is very attentive to your messages and she answers very quickly. I definitely recommend it.
We stayed for a Christmas - New Year holidays. The house was more than we expected, very clean, beautifully decorated, kitchen well equipped, beach stuff, etc. Everything what you need just was there and yes, the pool had clean water and was heated. When we arrived the water was a bit cold but it was probably because there wasnât any guests before us so we asked property manager to heat the water in pool and there wasnât any problems with that. Property manager Sofie is very responsive, just ask and she will take care of the issue. The house is very well located, there is short drive to Publix and restaurants but you need a car it is not a walking distance. On the back side of the pool is the deck by the canal where we enjoyed the sunsets. The neighborhood is very quiet and clean we felt safe.We had a wonderful time , thank you Mark for your hospitality and we definitely look forward to be back.
We LOVED this rental! It is very close to shopping and restaurants. It had everything we could possibly need for our stay. We have two special needs children and the floor plan made it very accommodating for their needs. Everything was clean and in great condition. The decor is very tasteful and all the furniture is comfortable. We absolutely loved the outside/backyard!! There were so many areas to sit and relax while enjoying the beautiful landscape. It was nice to be right on the water instead of in someone else's backyard. Thank you for such a wonderful mini vacation from the cold Ohio weather!!!
House was very clean. Bed linen very clean either.
We loved the pool area and the breathtaking sunset!
Quick and easy communication with property's owner.
My daughter †to feed the turtles.
Lots of space .
Some cons :the bed matresses are in bad shape specially in the master bedroom.
You can hear some noise coming from the main street specially @ rush hours.
Overall a great stay!
The pictures looked nice on the website but itâs not what we got. Many different issues during the stay, some of which were addressed. Our exit document was in more detail. This house has so much potential but many problems need to be addressed to make it more appealing and livable.
We drove down from Minnesota in early March. Stayed 25 nights. Our kids, their spouces and our grandkids joined us for the first week. Then our friends joined us for 5 days the third week. The grandkids lived in the pool, along with the rest of us. We grilled most nights and enjoyed the warm evenings poolside. We took the grandkids to Siesta Keys beach, which is a bit of a drive but well worth it. When it was just the two of us we found some great places to eat lunch/dinner or just have an appetizer and drink. Lobster Lady, Monkey Bar and Pinchers in Ft Meyers to name a few. We came home to a blizzard dumping 6+ inches of snow. Wished we had extended our stay another week or two. đ
The house was lovely but had several flaws.
1. ac did not cool entire house, only main room
2. landscaping and pool area needed a face lift
3. some items were broken, ie: toaster, bicycle, pool toys.
4. old food such as mustard/ mayo etc left from other people.
5. garage door loud and extremely noisy
6. Ice maker worked poorly.
7. Refrigerator beeped ona nd off for several days ( host neglected to inform us prior)
8. House was clean , beds were comfortable.
Our experience was beyond our expectations. The home is BEAUTIFUL, Cozy, Comfortable and Clean. We had all the lovely amenities of a home away from home.. and hope to return for a future vacation!
What a fantastic time we had in this beautiful home it's simply beautiful inside and the pool area is magical will definitely be returning in the future me and my wife simply had the best time on holiday thank you for letting us rent this magical holiday home Mark first classđđđđ
I must start out by saying the pictures do not do this property justice. From the moment we walked it, in felt like home. So spacious and welcoming. The views are amazing. Saw some wonderful sunsets. The pool was nice and clean. Very relaxing laying in the hammock and watching nature. We saw so many turtle heads popping out of the canal.
Mark was very good at communicating! Checked in a few times to see if we needed anything and to give suggestions on places to eat. Lobster Lady is a MUST! So delicious! We were in town for baseball tournaments which was very convenient. Only 20-30 minutes to each area we needed to be. We will definitely look into this property if we are back next summer.
Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful house.
The home was spotlessly clean inside and nicely decorated. The yard, pool, and canal with sunset views were even better than the pictures can show. We only had a couple very MINOR issues (sometimes houses are a lot to keep up with and any homeowner should understand this) - and we had great communication with the manager and owner of the home, leaving us very content. We would LOVE to return.
The setup of the home is also convenient and comfortable, good closet space, extra lounging areas, sinks separate from the toilet, etc. A bigger family could be very comfortable here for extended periods of time!
Also there is currently a drip coffee maker as well as a Keurig, which I did not realize. So anyone who does not love Keurigs like myself, can rest easy ;)
What a fun place to stay! The views out back are amazing. You can see the sunset while relaxing in the hammock, sip your morning coffee under a forest of palm trees, swim in privacy with trees all around the pool area, and see wildlife come up to the dock. Itâs truly a beautiful yard. The house is very unique. We enjoyed the different spaces to relax in. Lots of space for kids and parents to be able to spend time together and also get some time alone to reset. The owner was very attentive and truly wanted to make sure our stay was great! The dock boards are slightly loose, so I donât recommend standing on it without being cautious but we sat on it a couple times. The umbrella and chairs were not on the dock (as pictured) but I assume that is why. Also, the fireplace over the waterfall doesnât work but the views were beautiful even without it.
We are a Pacific Northwest family that purchased this home as a vacation destination for escaping portions of our rainy season. Lucky for you we love the snow and mountains so it will generally always be available during peak winter season in Florida!
In addition to the very private oasis-like backyard, the location provides convenient central access to a plethora of great places and activities. A range of beach options, quaint islands, fantastic boating and fishing, excellent restaurants, the vibrant River District of Ft Myers, and plenty of golf courses provide something for everyone. For families there is even a water park and plenty of elaborate mini golf options within minutes! Extend your reach a little and the Everglades, Miami, Tampa, the Keys, and Disney are all very accessible. This is a very livable home - close to everything from daily conveniences to an assortment of recreation.
This home provides a comfortable, relaxing retreat after exploring the areas' many attractions or a fun day playing at the beach. There are open spaces to hang out, cook, barbecue or play board games together as well as private areas both inside and outside to relax by yourself. Fully equipped to anticipate your needs during your stay, you can share meals and pool time, look for turtles and fish in the canal, and create lasting memories without having to worry about something you forgot to bring. Consider this your home away from home!
