A Great Summer Vacay!

We (5 adults and 2 young kids) had a wonderful time at this rental! We stayed for a week and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Lots of fishing off the dock and the kids loved the pool! The home was clean and comfortable. Easy drive to nice beaches. There was plenty of food options nearby. The host was great and very helpful! Would definitely recommend this home for a fun, peaceful, family trip

Great Place

We had a wonderful 5 week stay at the property. The bedrooms were spacious, the kitchen modern, all amenities worked perfectly. The pool was spectacular. Very clean. The hot tub as well. The dock on the canal was perfect for my 20 foot boat. And NO BUGS! My wife and I are very sensitive to no-seeums and there were none!

Spectacular

This was an amazing residence. Great clean house. Super nice neighborhood. Do not be fooled by the houses on the fresh water canals. This is where you want to be. Great pool. Plenty of room. Nicely equipped and decorated. We caught sharks, stingrays, snapper, blue crabs, alligator gar, and a very rare sawfish. We saw a dolphin, and we saw manatees. We did all of this at the house, on the dock. 100% recommend that you quit looking and book this before it is gone.

Perfect Getaway

We enjoyed our stay here. The house was wonderful. Totally what we needed. Having worked in the hospital with the Covid patients since March it was a great place to destress. Maggie was receptive and easily reachable. She handled any issues we had. She even checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything or if there were any issues. The pool was great! We traveled with our 2 dogs and one of them is blind and she adjusted to the house very quickly as well. We couldn't have asked for a better house to stay in. Thanks Maggie!

Loved our stay.

The property was clean (major points for that!). It was roomy. Loved that it had a washer and dryer. Last year the place we stayed at had a small outside community laundry, it was down two flights of stairs and only had a few washers . More than once we would put in detergent and clothes, pay and then the washer wouldn't work.we then had to move our clothes into a different washer, losing our money from the one that had stop working. A couple others had the same thing happen to them. So I repeat , the very nice, washer and dryer was definitely appreciated lol. loved the huge private pool, the kids had a blast, it kept them entertained in the evening after the beach. I would definitely recommend this property to others!

nice rehabbed home

This is a very nice older home that has been rehabbed. The kitchen and baths are new and very nice. They provided everything we needed in the kitchen including some spices. The outdoor pool area is just as advertised. The pool is large and clean. The hot tub is free standing, 4 person, clean and gets to a toasty 104 degrees. The dock is concrete and wonderful for viewing wildlife. The neighborhood is great. The home is surrounded with new builds. It is walking distance to downtown restaurants which is wonderful and we took full advantage of it ! The owner and property manager were both very responsive whenever we called them. This home had a few things that prevented me from giving it a 5 star review. First the master bathroom has no door on it. The toilet is 3 feet from the bed. I did not care for it. This also doubled as the pool bathroom. The second thing that prevented a 5 star review was the size of the living area. It seats 4 only and that's tight. The home sleeps 6 but only 4 , really 3, can sit in the living room. The last issue was the old and worn patio furniture around the pool. They really need to upgrade the furniture for a 5 star experience. This house is fine for a weekend maybe a week for 2 - 4 people. We stayed 6 weeks and had multiple guests. For us it was too long in a house this size. In this home you are paying for a 3 bedroom but it lived smaller for us.

We had a great stay at this property. The location was nice and quiet. Close to a few restaurants and very accessible to all beaches. The outside was fantastic. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The deck needs a little TLC as does some of the inside of the house. Nothing major, just somethings we noticed. It was strange that the only door from the pool area to a bathroom was painted closed...you can certainly go around to the other door though. All in all we would stay here again. We had wonderful weather and had a great time. Thanks!

The home had amazing views, especially from the dining area and kitchen, which made every meal extra special. The pool was great, and the view from the pool was just as beautiful. We also enjoyed spending time by the saltwater canal. A bonus treat was watching the local burrowing owls in the front yard every evening... my wife loved them. Highly recommend! Would love to stay here again.

Our Zen

This is the second year we rented this vacation home from Maggie, and we could not say enough wonderful things about her home and her hospitality. We have rented homes through VRBO over the past 8 years, but never rented the same property twice. Thank you for helping our family continue to make great memories, we are truly grateful

Great Customer Service but the House needs some TLC

Overall the property owners were extremely responsive and helpful. The refrigerator has rust in the ice dispenser which was not ideal and the grout throughout the house and bathrooms needed a deep clean. Overall the house was ok but there was a lot of patchwork. It worked for us as we were primarily at the beach or on the boat, the house is fairly spacious so that is a plus for the price if you have a larger family.

AMAZING HOME

Communication with Maggie was great from the start! Our host was amazing, and she responded to my needs right away. I knew the property was going to be beautiful, but it was even better than the pictures - great layout with the screened in lanai with large pool being the hub of the house. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook with; plus, plenty of food staples available (spices and other dried goods). Maggie left a nice bottle of wine, plenty of starter products, which was greatly appreciated after a long day of travel. The bedroom layouts were generous, and the bathrooms have plenty of space. The views from the house are captivating! Beds are comfortable, linens fresh and plentiful and plenty of bath and beach towels. We absolutely loved everything about the tritoon boat and went out fishing almost everyday bringing home a catch of the day for dinner. The location was perfect - close to grocery stores, downtown Cape Coral, across bridge from Fort Myers and a 30-minute drive to Fort Myers airport. We will definitely come back if we find ourselves in Cape Coral, Fl again! Thank you, Kelley & David

Clean in a good location with a beautiful pool

The home was very clean on arrival and communication with the host Maggie was excellent and the few issues we had with the pool area were delt with in a timely manner. It is an older home and some areas are a little tired and could do with replacing. The canal view is beautiful as is the pool we enjoyed it very much, unfortunately we didn’t have any success fishing and saw neither dolphins or manatees but that’s wildlife for you. The home is short walking distance into Cape Coral village and we enjoyed drinks at the tiki bar and jungle bird. We had great meals at Wow wing and Monkey Bar. It’s a great location for exploring with plenty of shops and restaurants within a short drive. The home is well equipped and as with most rentals some of the pots and pans are past their best but still serviceable, I agree with others on the coffee pot size, if there had have been 4 of us we’d have had to keep running up brews there was just enough for 2 full cups and a little top up each. The bed was super comfortable in the master and there was ample seating both inside and outside, we also enjoyed the bikes which are in great condition. Only improvements would be placemats for the table and replacing some of the pots and pans etc although I understand many people don’t come to cook but for those that would over a longer stay it’d be nice, some bbq tools as there were none. Maggie was a great host, the home is great and I’d recommend the home for rental.

Wonderful vacation

Thank you for a wonderful vacation. This is our second time staying at one of Maggie's beautiful homes. The house was immaculate. There was a nice starter kit of toiletries, dishwasher pods, detergent, paper towels, etc. There were plenty of bath/hand towels and beach towels. The beds and pillows were comfy. The floor plan is nice and open. There were bicycles in the garage, although we are not cyclists. It was nice parking in the garage and having the garage door opener. The pool was absolutely amazing. My seven-year-old daughter enjoyed the large shallow end and the abundance of pool toys. The boat rental through Maggie was easy peasy! We enjoyed our time on the boat. The boat was again super clean. The captain was thorough with my husband going over the charts and boat accessories. The neighborhood was very quiet. I only seen one neighbor outside getting his mail. The communication was prompt. We left our keys at the house and Maggie mailed them back to us. Thank you! We will be renting one of Maggie's homes again for our next
