March Break fun in Cape Coral

We went here for March Break and it was fantastic -- the property and pool were lovely and it's a great location (fairly centrally located; close to shopping and restaurants). Brad and Donna were excellent hosts and very prompt with communication and very helpful overall. We hope to come back again! It was wonderful!

A waterfront paradise!

This property was amazing more than we ever expected. This house has all the amenities you will ever need during your stay. The pool was a tropical paradise and we really loved feeding the turtle, fish, and birds on the dock. Can't wait to go back, most relaxing week and close to everything.

Beautiful Home

The house was beautiful and cozy at the same time. We used the pool everyday and really had no reason to leave. There was every pot and pan you could need and also some supplies in the fridge that were really helpful. We loved our time there and appreciate our gracious hosts for allowing us to stay.

Great Rental

The home was wonderful for our family's vacation to FL. There was more than enough room for our family of 4. Anything you could want was at the home, including floaties and pool toys, the kayaks and paddle boat, a well equipped kitchen, beach supplies and so much more. The road is busy but the backyard area with pool is the only place you'll spend time at the house. Close to many beaches and the airport. We will stay again.

Our six week stay

We spent six weeks in this great home in Cape Coral. We truly felt at home there and our kids and grandchildren who came to visit just loved it. For the little ones they loved the pool of course and feeding the turtles in the canal. The adults enjoyed the hot tub and the gas fire pit. The home is truly a place to sit and relax with plenty of space inside and outside for families to enjoy being together. Everything you need is right there for you. We hope to stay again. Thanks to the owners for sharing this beautiful home with our family.

The back lanai is outstanding, from dining area, to sitting area and propane fire pit to the inviting pool and hot tub and new outdoor kitchen and bar.

PERFECT getaway

We had the most amazing week staying at this home. Donna was so great to work with, she was very responsive and accomidating to our family of 5. Jason met us at the house and walked us thru so we felt prepared how to use everything. We have 3 young boys and we used the pool every single day. I was nervous for the saltwater but now that I experienced a salt water pool I much prefer that to chlorine. The temperature of the pool and spa heated up quickly and made the pool days very comfortable. For being on a busy road you would never even know. The owners did a great job of putting plants and trees sourrounding the property so you feel very secluded and private. The canal was such a lovely bonus, we loved watching the birds and wildlife from right in our back yard. I would absolutly stay here again. A huge perk was all the towels and pool floats were provided so we didn't need to pack those along. The whole house was fully stocked with cookware and dinnerware. We have stayed at a few rentals and this was our favorite by far. The only thing it was almost too nice for our 3 boys but we managed to keep the house together ha! We had one incident and Donna was very understanding. Blessed to have been able to stay here with my family :)

Beautiful property and stay

The property was as expected - beautiful. Lovely pool, lovely BBQ! lovely owners who provided a lovely welcome gift and was in contact in regards to what we needed to do and tips on how to enjoy the property. The waterside is lovely and its true that turtles love the bread! Evenings by the pool and in the hot tub were lovely. close to great stores and not as hectic as Orlando or Tampa in regards to tourists so you get a real feel of Florida. If there was one thing i would change, would be the duration - Longer would have been fantastic. 5 stars. I will be back

Graduation Vacation

We took this trip as a graduation gift for my 2 stepsons. We wanted to make it as memorable as possible because after I lost my 18 year old son a few years ago to a congenital heart defect, making as many memories as possible becomes a crucial part of life. And this house made that possible. Not only is the home absolutely beautiful, the decor is stunning and the amenities were above and beyond what we expected! From big details to the smallest, the owners have definitely put their time, love, and effort into ensuring not only a beautiful experience, but also a home away from home. We can't thank them enough for their hospitality and communication throughout our entire stay! We will definitely be back, sooner rather than later. Bret, Laurie, Antoinette, Carter, and Thomas

About the host

Hosted by Brad & Donna Zeigler

Host profile image
Hi...We are the Zeiglers, Brad & Donna Brad owns Roach & Ziegler Interiors a small family owned Kitchen & Bath Design & Furniture Store Donna is a a minister...and Bible Teacher. Her favorite name is GaGa...given to her by our only grandchild, Isaac...'Our Pool is as he says,' ISAAC'S POOL' We also have three grown children, and they love to vacation here! We live in Pittsburgh Pa. and yes, our boys are HUGE Steeler & Pirate & Penguin fans.
This home is more than we could have ever imagined...we are so happy that you have visited our home away from home! Our final decision to step out of our comfort zone (we lived in the same neighborhood for 30 plus years) actually came from God....Donna was speaking at a women's conf...and during prayer time....a women told her 'God is giving you a little palace with many rooms!' She knew nothing about me...so we knew ...we were doing HIS will...as we drove to bring our truck load of furniture...the most beautiful and vibrant double rainbow appeared another confirmation....and now...we feel so blessed and want to share our blessing! Being Blessed to be a Blessing! Thank you for taking time to hear our story....we would love to hear yours! Blessings Exceeding and Abundant Psalm 91:1

Why they chose this property

After living in the same neighborood for most of our married life...our niece encouraged us to come to Cape Coral. After searching with our wonderful Real estate agent, Judy Sylvia...we fell in love with our 'little castle' thus the name 'Bella Palacia' After viewing about 50 homes....once we walked into this home all other homes were compared to this one...until finally we knew this was it. We loved the high ceilings...and the space....the grand opening to the outdoors...and just about everything....except....it was 'Barbie Doll PINK' inside and out....so the very first thing we did was PAINT! http://revtoursnow.com/1825hancockbridgepkwy

What makes this property unique

We love to sit in the chairs on the pool shelf...and have a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise....and then go to the dock and throw bread...as the fish jump and the turtles come to share in the feast as well as Pelicans...diving...and Ibis...coming to share....but watch out for the Sea Gulls' who try to swipe the bread! Such a beautiful basin view on a fresh water basin/canal.
