We had such an amazing time in this beautiful home! The layout is wonderfully comfortable, and the kitchen quickly became our favorite hangout spot with plenty of space and seating. The kids loved the pool and spent most of their time outside enjoying it. Everything was spotless and so inviting! We also enjoyed evening walks around the neighborhood and were thrilled to spot several owls!

Great family vacation home

Our family of 5 stayed here and thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the amenities the house offered. The owners have thought of everything and we spent a week relaxing and experiencing the Cape Coral/Ft Myers area. The location is great and nestled in a quiet neighborhood.

We had a wonderful Father’s Day vacation in this wonderful home, which is in a quiet neighborhood, but close to all nearby markets and local businesses. The house is beautifully decorated and fully- equipped with all essentials. The house is spacious and roomy allowing everyone to have space to rest and relax. We fully enjoyed lounging in the heated pool and fishing in the dock. Communication with the owners was superb, very attentive to our needs. We would definitely love staying here again.

Perfect Family House

The house was perfect for us. We wanted to spend the whole time at the house, playing in the pool, and enjoying the water. It met all of our needs and was a beautiful house to stay in. Comfortable beds, great spots to gather and eat, or lounge around. We made some amazing memories there. We had quick responses from the property owners for even small requests.

Luxury Living while in Florida

We had an amazing time while staying in this home. There is room for everyone to unwind after a long day. Gorgeous amenities, luxurious bedding and pillows, over-the-top coffee bar, the kitchen has everything and a LARGE island to hang out while preparing meals. The outdoor space is so peaceful. I loved having morning coffee by the pool and canal. The location is perfect! We were able to visit so many places that were close by. Will definitely be staying here again!

Beautiful and Comfortable

This property was beautifully decorated and very comfortable with lots of different living space for relaxing, watching TV or hanging out together. It was very well-stocked and we found it had everything we needed. The coffee bar was a great perk and we appreciated the beach equipment. The location on the canal was gorgeous with a beautiful view of the sunset and some manatees that visited from time to time. The property manager was very amenable and accommodating, with prompt communication. We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property.

Magical Vacation

Going on vacation and staying in this home away from home was a magical experience for me, my husband, our son and his wife and our daughter and her boyfriend. The home was sparkling clean when we got there. Everything you could ever wish for was so well thought out. The towels were plentiful and plush, the kitchen well appointed and pool was the perfect temperature. The beds were super comfortable and seating around the pool was exactly where you wanted to be with a cup of coffee every morning. This house inspires relaxation and fun. We caught catfish off the dock and the kids brought a paddle board to navigate the canals. The restaurants, beaches and shops in the area are all fun to explore. Overall, we would give this vacation spot a 10++!!

Our stay was an absolute A+

Our stay was an absolute A+! The house was very clean & beds were extremely comfy! House was adorably decorated and had a very open feel! Loved the huge sliding glass doors from almost every room to the pool and lanai area. The owners were super on it! Any questions we had were answered right away. Pool was clean and warm. Kids loved it! (I loved the bathroom right off the pool area so the kids weren’t tracking in wet footprints! Lol!) We are already planning a trip back! Thank you to the owners for all of the special touches and making our family vacay awesome!
