About this property

Luxury home w/ 2 suites, LARGE pool, spa, lanai. Quick gulf access! 5 Bikes! EV!

Free pool heating! No charge for electricity. Deal directly with the owners. Please read our reviews!

Nestled in the prestigious Yacht Club area of Cape Coral, Congo Breeze is a luxury waterfront retreat designed for relaxation, entertainment, and adventure. With high-end amenities, expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, and direct access to the Caloosahatchee River, this home offers an unparalleled coastal experience.

Stepping inside, the open-concept living area is designed for comfort and entertainment, featuring a full bar, billiards table, and a 75-inch Smart TV with premium sound. High tray ceilings and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors create a seamless transition to the outdoor lanai, where a surround sound system enhances the resort-like atmosphere. The home has hard flooring throughout (no carpet) and pets are not allowed, so it is allergy friendly.

The well-equipped gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting top-of-the-line appliances, ample storage, and a pass-through window to the outdoor bar. Enjoy the waffle-maker, panini press, griddle, blender, margarita machine, and Nepresso machine.

There are two large master suites (king size beds) each with an attached bathroom which makes this home perfect for two families! The master suite has a dedicated workspace with an external monitor ensures productivity for those needing to stay connected.

There are three additional bedrooms, one with a king size bed, one with a queen, and one with two twin XL (longer so it fits adults) bunk beds. Each bedroom has its own wall mounted smart television except for the bunk bed bedroom. In addition, there are two comfortable air mattresses you can use if desired.

High speed internet and over 100 television channels (including cable) are provided for your enjoyment. We have multiple routers throughout the home to ensure great coverage in both the home and outdoor living areas. The WIFI signal is strong and can be accessed in the pool area and down at the canal frontage.

The laundry room has two washing machines and a dryer for your use. We have an additional dryer in the garage, along with drying racks for your convenience.

Outside, the private lanai is a true oasis, featuring a large heated saltwater pool with a sun shelf, an in-pool table with seating (waterproof card games are provided), a spa, and a heated outdoor shower. The waterfront area includes a tiki hut, boat lift, kayak launch (two-person kayak provided), and ample deck space for soaking up the Florida sun. Plenty of pool towels are provided. Manatees, stingrays, and dolphins have been spotted in the canal, adding to the charm of this spectacular setting.

What an amazing location for boating! We are in the Yacht Club area and are only five minutes from the Caloosahatchee River which is your portal to amazing times at Sanibel Island, Estero Island, Captiva Island, or many other beautiful destinations! There is a 10,000 pound capacity boat life available for your use. Ask us about our rental boat! We have a 2016 24 foot NauticStar deck boat for rent through a local boat rental company. You can save $25 per night on the house for each day you rent the boat! The lift is set up for this boat. One advantage to renting this boat is the GPS leaves bread crumbs from past trips. That makes it easier to get to the local destinations if you are not familiar with the area.

We want you to come to our home to relax - your paradise awaits! No need to spend additional money or take up luggage space on supplies and paper products! We provide you with pretty much everything you need during your vacation – toilet paper, paper towel, dishwasher soap, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, laundry soap, tissues, and even some spices. We also provide coffee/filters/creamer. We provide four hair dryers (one for each bathroom) and we also have a scale for your use. We don't charge electricity fees or fees for heating the pool either! We want you to be able to travel lightly and not worry about extra fees!

We offer a ChargePoint EV charger for you to use at no extra charge. It can be used to charge any electric vehicle but may require an adaptor for certain vehicles. We provide an adaptor for Tesla.

We provide five adult bikes you can use to explore the area! The local roads have a bike lane which makes biking easy and safe. The Yacht club is 1.9 miles away and makes a great biking destination.

Feel free to use the grill. You may have to refill the propane tank if it's empty. Please clean the grill after each use.


Plenty of parking in the circular driveway.
There should be a full Welcome Brochure in a binder in the home and one will also be emailed two weeks prior to your stay.

No smoking anywhere on the premises. This includes vapes and e-cigarettes.

No parties or excess noise - please be courteous to the neighbors.

Amazing Family Vacation

Our extended family stayed at this property for six nights and had an amazing time. Ranging in age from 14-78, our group was extremely happy with our stay. The house was exactly as described, beautifully appointed, spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for our group. The owners Mike and Patti were attentive and responsive, making sure everything went exactly as planned. The home is a short drive to all the local attractions, the pool and spa are wonderful, and we can’t wait to return.

Fantastic vacation home

Extremely nice home. They have everything you could want. The pool and hot tub are heated and are a must for a family. We had 6 adults and 4 small children. Plenty of room for all of us. If you’re coming to SW Florida, this is the home you want. The host contacted me several times to make sure everything was good and if we needed anything. Best host I’ve dealt with! Thanks Patti for a perfect week!

This property is everything in the listing and more. The pictures were spot on. The property was immaculate and updated. It was VERY CLEAN and the pool was amazing. Everyone in our 10 person party (aged 1-67) enjoyed all of the amenities, including the kayak, fishing poles and sand chairs. We highly recommend this property!

Beautiful home

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The house is very well laid out with privacy for each bedroom and cable TV in each bedroom. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and pool (heated) -- it was wonderful. This home had all of the necessities you need to prepare a meal as well as anything you need to go to the beach. We loved it and we hope to be back again soon. Mike and Patti were very responsive.

Outstanding Vacation Home. Everything you need!

Beautiful property, modern electronics, very well maintained, great beds. Owner was great to work with and answered all our questions from quickly. We had a group of 11 people from our church who came to Ft Myers with 8 Days of Hope as part of a mission trip to rebuild in the Harlem Heights area. This home was perfect for our group who had adults of all ages. Pool, hot tub, and pool table were all big hits at the end of a long day!

Perfect spot for a family getaway!

My family had the best week staying at Congo Breeze! The house is equipped with everything you might possibly need during your vacation, from kitchen tools to pool toys! The house was big enough for our crew to sleep comfortably (9 adults, 2 kids, 2 toddlers). The pool and lanai are even better than the great pictures, and we had so much fun enjoying them and the Florida sunshine! We also used the bikes, they were in great condition. Mike and Patti were very available and quick to respond to questions. Would highly recommend staying at this property, we'd all love to go back!

Over the Top - Property and Host

We are a group of 65+ year old gals that went to high school together. For the last several years we have rented houses in SWF for a gathering of fun and catching up. Congo Breeze has set the bar. The amenities are A+. All we needed to bring was food and refreshments. In the past we would head out to dinner, shopping, a little sight seeing. At Congo Breeze, we didn’t leave the property as it has so much to offer. (With the exception of a beer run). Pictures on line do not do the property justice. There is not one negative I could say about the property - it is truly Paradise!

Top notch luxury vacation home

It’s not often that you walk into a rental home and find it exceeds what is shown online. Congo Breeze has done a wonderful job of depicting what they have to offer but there is simply no way to show all of the extras. We were a group of 9 with 4 adults and 5 kids ages 10-16. Not only did we have plenty of space for all of us but there was no shortage of activities to enjoy. From the wonderfully spacious lanai with a heated pool and hot tub to ping pong, corn hole, ring toss or sitting on the dock casting a line and enjoying the beautiful view, this place truly has it all. We quickly realized we overpacked as there isn’t a thing that you’d need that this home doesn’t have. We enjoyed daily walks along neighboring streets, rode the bikes provided to the beach to watch the sunset and enjoyed seeing various wildlife including burrowing owls and a special treat of watching a couple of dolphins swim right past us in the canal. The hosts, Mike and Patti, were super friendly and responsive from the very beginning of the booking process until checkout. They even proactively sent tips on things their house has to offer in case you hadn’t found them yet (hello outdoor speakers!). This is a place you’d like to keep a secret but it wouldn’t be fair to the owners who have obviously poured their heart and soul into this place for others to enjoy. Don’t think twice about booking this home, just pack your suit and go!

Very impressed

We loved our stay here this past week. Our kids are 7,5,4 and 3 years old and they loved all the games provided and the space to run around. The amount of beach chairs, umbrellas and toys was perfect for the 8 of us to enjoy Fort Meyers Beach. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances and dishes. It was great! I also loved having access to various streaming services for the kids in the morning. Having a tv out by the pool was perfect for watching basketball. We did run into a few hiccups during the week but the owner was very quick with communication and always getting someone out to help immediately. I was very impressed. We are already planning our next trip there in 2026!

Awesome Rental Property

Checking out of Congo Breeze today and have to say this is the nicest Florida VRBO we have stayed in. The place was clean, in great condition and well stocked with everything you will need to have a great experience. If you are looking for a nice house to hang with family around the pool, barbecue, play pool, ping pong, cornhole, Kan Jam and Spike Ball then this is the place for you. The hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with and checked in multiple times to see how our stay was going and if we needed anything. They also asked if anything could be provided to make the place better. The place and hosts really are top notch! When our flight got delayed they even tried to help find an additional property for us to stay in. Overall, 5 out of 5 and would highly recommend.

Communication with the owner was wonderful with very quick responses. They even offered to ship an item I had inquired about that they didn’t have.

Everything you Need at Congo Breeze

From the time of booking all the way through checkout, Mike & Patti could not have been better hosts. They are extremely thorough with details, lightning fast to respond to inquiries before and during the stay, and cared about every detail being perfect for us during our vacation in their beautiful home. The home itself is beautiful and has every amenity you could possibly need on vacation. I highly recommend renting a boat and using the awesome dock in front of the home to cruise the canal system and venture out into the Gulf. Quiet neighborhood, close to 47th terrace with all of the fun restaurants and bars. Overall would highly recommend this vacation home if you are looking for a large, comfortable, and affordable vacation home for your friends and family.

This will become your annual (or more) home away from home!!!!!

When booking online we thought Congo Breeze would be the perfect place for our family to come together. We were not disappointed. Congo Breeze is even more beautiful than the images depict. Not only beautiful but Mike and Patti have thought of everything a guest would need while away from their own home. Seriously, all one needs is to go to the grocery store and get food and drink. Everything else is provided and I do mean EVERYTHING!. We have stayed at a few (can't say the name in a review) :) over the years and Mike and Patti of Congo Breeze surpassed them ALL. We had thought of booking elsewhere in the area; we are so happy we did not. We cannot express the gratitude we have for Congo Breeze and Mike and Patti for their attention to detail and the exceptional communication through the process and during our stay. You will not be disappointed if you book the Congo Breeze. Instead you will rebook, like we have. Do not pass up this excellent location and home for your next getaway.
