Great Place To Stay

Great location and who doesn’t like to walk out the back door and cast a rod to catch some fish. House is well kept, updated and very spacious. The communication with Stu was great. This was our second time staying and we will definitely be back.

Delightful location and property!!!!

We had not been to the Fort Myers area before so enjoyed the central location of the Cape Lake House. And it was a wonderful property to both lounge and relax, as well as a base for sightseeing or catching a baseball game! And we like to cook so totally appreciated the well equipped kitchen. We couldn't have asked for more!!

Yearly Florida Trip . . .

Cape Lake House was the nicest, cleanest, and most well-stocked home we've stayed in over the years. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. There were 7 of us and the 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom layout was perfect for us. We have NO negative comments whatsoever. Stu and Cathy were quick to reply if we had questions. We will definitely be staying at Cape Lake House again or maybe we'll check out one of their other locations. I wish we were still there! :)

We are the owners so this is not an unbiased review...but this was the first time we actually got to “vacation” and relax at the property vs. work work work! It was awesome! The breezes were lovely, the pool was warm and refreshing and we really enjoyed our stay. We are so pleased and blessed to be able to share this home with other guests. Stu and Cathy

Amazing Stay

Everything about our vacation was great. I bring my family (4 adults over 32, 14 year old, 5 & 6 year old) to Florida every year and we find a place with a pool and we basically never leave. We had everything we needed to relax all week. The kitchen was well-supplied with anything we could possibly have wanted to use, crockpots, George Forman Grill, large pots for pasta, big frying pans, Ninja Blender, and more. We cook all meals while we are there and we had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this place or any of their other vacation rentals. ❤️❤️❤️

My favorite VRBO by far!

While many VRBO’s are beautiful, no other compares to Stu and Cathy’s properties. The owners take very good care to the details of what travelers want. There were so many options for entertainment. I really liked that they have the pool and hot tub set to a warm temperature all year round with no extra charges for electricity etc. the whole family enjoyed our stay. Quite honestly, I’d love to go just by myself to lounge and read from their library of books. My only regret is that I didn’t book longer! I will definitely seek properties listed by Stu and Cathy from now on.

Inviting Beach-Themed Getaway

The Cape Lake House is a beautifully appointed house on a quiet street with a soothing lake view. The house provided a very quiet and peaceful retreat to relax and enjoy our time in Cape Coral.The house has a heated pool and hot tub, with a partially covered patio that is great for enjoying the lake view while eating or enjoying a beverage at any time of the day or evening. While we visited as a couple, it would also be very good for a family with the pool, ping pong table, kayaks and many other amenities for entertainment and fun. The house has 3 charming bedrooms and bathrooms, well-situated for quiet and privacy from each other. We chose this house for the its charm and water view, and central location to visit a number of sights around Cape Coral, Pine Island, and Ft. Meyers. The host was very responsive and helpful and provided everything we can think of for a great experience at the house.

What a comfortable and well appointed home!

In numerous decades of renting vacation homes, this home stands out as one of the best. Not only was it beautifully decorated it was the thoughtful appointments such as beach towels, high end cookware and a well stocked spice cabinet that put it over the top! Our group was mostly retired but I can certainly recommend this home to families with children. Well done Stu & Cathy!

Wonderful

Our stay was wonderful with three small exceptions. The neighbors next door were smoking weed which blew our way. We opted to go inside.The other issue we had were with the lights/fans. We had a couple of rainy days so we read books and played games. However, the kitchen light didn't work unless the fan was on. When it was chilly out having the fan on made us freezing cold. We had to move the kitchen table in order to play a board game. There was only one lamp that worked in the living room. One ceiling fan light worked in the living room and the other didn't. No light in the other seating area near the patio doors. One lamp in the upstairs bedroom did not work. It was hard for all of us to read.Also, there were no fans in two of the bathrooms. The bathroom on the first floor had an especially slippery floor after showering so I would use caution when showering.

This is a great home in a quiet neighborhood. It has absolutely everything you could need… and want! We enjoyed the bikes, pool, hot tub and fishing poles. It was comfortable for a week of remote work followed by a weekend with our teenagers. We look forward to returning soon!

Family get away:

The property was perfect for us. We had 6 adults and 8 kids age 4-13. We had just enough sleeping accommodations. The pool and hot tub were constantly used and worked perfectly. The dishwasher and clothes washer and dryer were constantly used and worked perfectly.The location of the property worked very well. We were able to visit the Ft. Meyers beach area a couple times and then spent the others days hanging out at our own pool. The adults loved the triple patio doors. It was our gathering place for coffee in the morning but also allowed us to keep and easy eye on the kids when they were in the pool.We would highly recommend this location for any family get together.

Gorgeous waterfront home!

The house is beautifully decorated, perfectly cleaned, and provides an amazing view! We loved the paddelboard and kayaks! The pool area was where we stayed most of the day, and when we got hot, we stayed in the lovely screened in porch. Everyone slept well in the comfortable rooms which is key for a relaxing vacation.I can't say enough about this house!! I'm so grateful we had the chance to stay there!!

First time to Cape Coral

Our family stayed at the Cape Lake House & we had a great time. The house is exactly as advertised, the owners are very quick to respond with any questions & the location is close or within a reasonable driving distance to just about everything there is to offer in Cape Coral/Ft. Myers area. Very clean, well stocked & a great layout for a family of 10. We had two littles under the age of 2 & teens (17 & 18). Everyone had their own space. The Lanai & pool were awesome. Swimming in the rain was a hi lite of our trip. We enjoyed the kayaks & paddle boarding along with fishing in the lake. The local farmers market was wonderful if you like to cook & eat in. The house is very well stocked for this. Our favs for dining out were Lobster Lady, Pinchers, & the FishTail. Other activities we enjoyed were golf, deep sea fishing, putt putt golf & go carts, & our son in law drove to go on a shark dive. Great comfortable stay with lots of fun had by all.

About the host

Hosted by Stu and Cathy Scheller

Host profile image
Stu and Cathy, we have been married since 1980. We have four children and twelve grandchildren to date. We invested in our first VRBO property in 2011 and have not looked back. Cathy's dream was to run a bed and breakfast and this is along that line, simply no breakfast...sorry! Stu is an amazing customer service man. Cathy likes to do the background work, researching, rehabbing and of course the decorating. We have come up with our own unique mix of classic, new and vintage. We look for properties with amazing views and something with a WOW to it. We vacation both long and short term in our homes, we bring our children and grandchildren along with us as much as possible. We must make them family friendly. We strive to provide you with excellent service and an amazingly easy trip. We want to wheel our suitcases off of the airplane and have everything prepared and available for us and for you. OUR REVIEWS TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW! Please check out our others to see what people think about how we do vacations!

Why they chose this property

I love this house it emits a warm cozy atmosphere. The views are breathtaking. Especially in the evening when the sun turns the sky and water a soft pink. We get a kick out of watching our grandsons pull one huge fish after another out of the freshwater lake. The four bedrooms plus the sleeper sofa allow us plenty of room to sleep and yet have our own space. The heated saltwater pool gets a lot of use from all of us. And we've added the two person detached therapeutic spa just outside of the screened lanai. We enjoy the warm weather of Florida, the beaches, the long sunny days, being outside all of the time, opening our windows to let the breeze in, and being able to do outside sports, biking, kayaking all the time.

What makes this property unique

We love Cape Coral. Stu's parents owned property and we vacationed here every year with our family. We purchased this property because we have two other homes in Cape Coral, one just a five minute kayak/bike ride away! Stu loves to fish with our grandsons. We love to kayak, I love the views. Now that our family is up to 22 and counting we needed room for them and a little peace for us. We are hoping that this will appeal to many of our guests as well who vacation with friends and family. This is not your typical Florida home, but it spoke to me. The view is perfect, we love the pool and landscaping, the shake shingles remind us of a Maine style house in Florida! I loved the challenge of remaking it to bring the outside in and to cozy it up. The results are stunning I think you will agree! It is such a quiet street in a great neighborhood, a place we may one day call home. We love the beaches and everything this area provides.
