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.

Just what we were looking for!

We were seeking a quiet relaxing few days following a cruise. We wanted privacy, a peaceful setting, a heated pool, and a comfortable home. This property delivered all of these requirements. The pool was lovely and warm, and we enjoyed beautiful sunshine and tranquility. The area has so much spectacular wildlife, including a pair of burrowing owls at the bottom of the drive way.- so cute! We would happily recommend this home. Thank you to our hosts!

Great home away from home for the holidays!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was the first time we have ever rented a property and it was especially meaningful to us because we have never been away from home for the holidays. Everything you could have wanted was there right down to a mini screwdriver (which came in handy) a crab pod, beach towels and a beach wagon. The pool is wonderful and a great place to relax. We tried our luck fishing but only caught a blue crab, and a baby alligator! So close to everything! We appreciated the Christmas tree being up for us so we could have that holiday feel. Thanks for providing us a place that was a great home away from home!

The best rental home we have ever stayed in

This rental property has it all. It is a fantastic location in the Cape. The hosts have thought of everything, and I mean everything. They had everything needed for trips to the beach, items for the pool, a wonderfully stocked kitchen with an amazing assortment of spices and cooking necessities. They even had a large boiling pot for blue crabs! My family stayed for 11 nights and had an absolute fantastic time.

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!!!
