We loved our week-long stay in your beautiful home. It was centrally located to all the places we needed to be and was such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The home is decorated so nice and everything was very clean. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you for making our trip to Cape Coral so enjoyable!

The house was really nice! A quiet neighborhood. The pool and patio area was excellent. We spent most of our time out there. We loved it! The only frustration we had with our visit were the ceiling fans/lights in the house and remote controls to the TV's. The controls worked the fans in every room so if someone in one bedroom changed the control of their fan or light in their bedroom, it would change the fans in the other bedrooms! Each bedroom should have their own individual remote that controls ONLY that bedroom. The remote controls to the TV's needed charged and there were no adaptors to plug them into the outlet. We had to end up using our own. We loved our stay and communication with the host was great and very helpful.

Beautiful pool home

Everything about this home makes vacation living easy. The home is spacious and comfortably appointed. The pool however was our favorite thing! The water was warm and there were lots of pool toys and floaties. I would highly recommend this home to anyone with extended family to entertain.

Perfect home for our family’s stay

Very well-appointed home with adorable decor. The pool area was a huge hit with our 12 and 13- year-olds. My elderly mother especially appreciated the walk-in shower in the master bath as it was large enough to accommodate her shower chair and walker. It also has two grab bars for extra stability. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out to have time to themselves in the evenings and lots of fish to catch in the canal. The teens fished for hours and hours - no need for devices - YAAY!!Our family had a wonderful stay at this wonderful home!

Great place!!

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend getaway. The house was perfect. So clean and inviting and nicely decorated. Nice large patio on the water and spacious inside. We didn’t use the pool because the weather was a little chilly, but it was so peaceful and relaxing sitting in the sun on the lanai. This is a large home perfect for a large family or a group of couples/friends. We will definitely come back and would highly recommend. Communication with the host was great.

Summer Birthday Celebration

We thoroughly enjoyed the house and used the deep water pool and patio also. The house is large enough for everyone to spread out. The supplies are well thought out, although we did not use anything for the beach. There were clear instructions for check in and checkout. If we had any questions, communication from owner and manager was very timely.. Master bedroom /bathroom was very nice. The guests in the other bdrs shared a bathroom. There is no powder room.The fan light did come on briefly in middle of night twice and owners are looking into it.. We saw turtles in canal and also alligators! All in all, we had a great family vacation , had very hot weather,,and A/C ran great at 75-76. It is a great house.

Perfect place to stay

My Wife and I had a long weekend at the property. It was perfect. Large house, large master bedroom and large master bath are on other side of house from others if you have other people. Very clean and bright. TV's in all bedrooms. Living room had large TV. Various ceiling fans. Office room towards front of house, we didnt use but I think it had TV also. Temperature was nice in house AC worked fine. Lots of light switches, all were labeled for what they work. Neighborhood felt safe and quiet. We were able to walk around with no issues. POOL WAS GREAT. Large enough, warm clean. Pool had lawn chairs etc near by for relaxing. Property overlooks canal. Pool approx 3 ft to 6 foot deep. stairs for walk in. We had contact with both host and owners and they were very quick to respond. We didnt have any issues, just few questions. We would definately stay at this property again. Very happy.

Don't miss this property!

Our family of eight had an incredible week-long stay at this wonderful house. The property was immaculate, spacious, and provided everyone with their own private space, which was much appreciated after our long days out. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the saltwater pool. The view from the pool overlooking the canal was breathtaking. We were thrilled to spot gators and turtles, adding an exciting touch to our experience. The check-in process was super easy, and the best part was the communication with the owners! I am huge on communication, and they did not disappoint. Suzan was quick to reply via text or phone call and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The only minor issue we encountered was with the remotes for the TVs and ceiling fans/lights. The TV remote would control both the main bedroom and the living area TV, and the same applied to the ceiling fans and lights. Additionally, the two bedrooms had a similar issue where the lights and remotes were interconnected. Lights in those two bedrooms and the office room would inexplicably turn on in the middle of the night around 2-3 am, almost like they were on a timer. Despite this small hiccup, we would happily stay here again with our family. The overall experience was fantastic, and the positives far outweighed the minor inconvenience. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
