From the moment we entered the house, we felt like we were at home. The decorations and the Christmas tree quickly got us into the holidays spirit. The place was perfectly clean. We had everything we needed; the house is fully equipped. We loved our stay in Cape Coral, and Susan & Paul's beautiful home definitely contributed to making our vacation memorable.

We had a wonderful stay while visiting the Cape Coral area. Our hosts, Paul and Susan, went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Everything from fishing gear to a wagon, cooler and beach chairs as well as bicycles, made recreating easy.The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with every appliance and accessory we could have wanted. The home and lanai/pool area were both incredibly clean and decorated for Christmas, which was a really nice touch.We would absolutely stay again. Thank you very much for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Thanks to Susan and Paul for making us feel so "at home" in their house for 18 wonderful days. From the very first moment, we felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay, in keeping with the "house rules": Relax, Relax, Relax...The house is tastefully decorated, very clean, the kitchen is beautiful and very well equipped with everything we need. We especially enjoyed the outdoor area, particularly the pool and the lovely view across the canal. That's Cape Coral! We've been there several times and all our favorite spots are easily accessible from this house.Many thanks again to the freindly and helpful hosts for the wonderful time, we would love to come back sometime!

Great Lanai

We really enjoyed our visit. Hosts were so welcoming and answered all our questions quickly. The pool and lanai were wonderful and provided for a lot of family memories. This is our 3rd time staying here and it has been great each time. The property is very convenient to Sanibel and Captiva and local amenities. Thanks to our hosts for their hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Paul or Susan Stark

Host profile image
HI, we are the Stark's (no relation to "Tony") and we grew up in Toledo, Ohio. WE have 7 children and 14 grand children who are scattered all around the globe. We purchased our home here in sunny SW Florida in 2004 visiting frequently until we decided to make it our permanent residence in 2006. Paul still owns a Men's clothing store in Holland, Ohio, and Susan has continued to work in Real Estate.
We purchased this home in December of 2016, and have done a tremendous amount of remodeling to make it the perfect Vacation get-a-way.

Why they chose this property

We decided on Cape Coral because so many of our friends have purchased homes here, and the beaches, night life and weather are hard to beat. There is ALWAYS something to do, the people are friendly and when we travel, we enjoy having a home to kick back and relax in after a day of adventures. You will find you may not want to leave!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Fish from your own dock, rent a kayak or a boat, adventure out and explore the many parks and nature trails. Visit the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, take in a ball game, golf, jet ski, parasail, do some shelling. But, most of all be sure to just come home to your own retreat and relax by the pool and say AAAAHHHHHHH!!!
