Christmas paradise

Perfect location, plenty of bikes for the family, extremely well kept home in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood! Owners were excellent with answering questions, providing recommendations and ensuring our trip went smoothly. House was well stocked with the perfect amount of paper products to get us through as we settled in, complete with a welcome basket of coffee, wine, tissues and Christmas cookies which were a nice seasonal touch!

This was our second year at Manatee Retreat and it was just as special as last year. The home is fully equipped with everything you need and then some. Loads of cutlery, plates, glasses, cooking gear, coffee gear, towels, sheets, outdoor chairs and pool floaties. Thank you once again Lori for a wonderful time two years in a row.

Perfect Stay

We could not be happier with our stay at Manatee Retreat. Lori was informative with details every step of the way and quick to respond to any questions we had. The house was beautifully decorated and the pool was just amazing. Restaurants were within a short distance and many types to choose from....(we enjoyed all the local Tiki's!) Saturday's farmer's market had a nice variety and again was very close. We also enjoyed the bikes that were available and rode around the quiet neighborhoods for an early morning stroll enjoying the burrowing owls as we went by. Can't say enough about this property and we hope to visit again in the future!

Exceptional!

Thank you so much Lori! We know you and Mark worked so hard to get your home ready for us after the devastation of Ian. Your home is warm and inviting. Stocked with everything we needed and more. The pool was warm and the lanai was used for morning coffee, afternoon snoozes and quiet dinners. We enjoyed cocktails on the dock each evening and watched the sun go down. The location is awesome and close to so many great restaurants. We will be back!

April Escape

Lori was great to work with, the house is beautifully updated and well maintained throughout my 3 week stay, i.e. pool, grass, etc. Instructions were clear as well. A perfect spot to sit out on the lanai and enjoy morning coffee overlooking the canal and the area was great for a morning walk/run as well! The only bummer is that the beach had not re-opened post Ian (completely out of anyone's control) but, was an easy drive down to Ft. Myer's Beach and Sanibel. I have already booked my stay for next year, I can't wait!

Perfection!

Great Location and the owners were prompt at responding to any questions we had. Peacefull location with lots to do. Close to everything Sanibel and Ft Meyers have to offer. We were able to have a boat delivered and tour the nearby islands and waterways. The pool was a perfect size and the house was clean and well stocked. We even had fresh mangos falling from the big tree out back that we 100% enjoyed. No complaints and we will be back!

EXACTLY as expected!

Perfect location for what we came for, which was baseball tourneys and water time! In the middle of all the cities we were visiting. Great restaurants near by. The house is the type of house that I remember visiting my aunt in, growing up as a child. A typical Florida home with great amenities. Lori was an absolutely fantastic host. She responded quickly and efficiently. We will be back for sure!

Just relax!

What to say about this home that hasn’t been said before. It was beautiful and very comfortable. The living space was open, the beds all perfect, and the house was clean. The kitchen was great for cooking and everything we needed could be found in the cabinets The space was perfect for two couples. The lanai area looked out over the canal and flowers framed the view. The pool was the perfect way to start or end any day. The location of the house was central to the many attractions in this areas, and the neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. Lori was very prompt in answering questions and giving advice. A pleasure to communicate with. If I am visiting Cape Coral, I would definitely stay here again

Perfect vacation

Nice home thats well stocked with linens, towels, and everything you need to dine in should you choose to do so. Home is located on a canal with Gulf access, so we rented a vessel and docked right in the backyard- it doesn't get any better than that! Not only that, but a nice saltwater pool right outside the sliders. There are safety features to keep children out while adults not present, which was a concern for me. Lori is a great host, very responsive to communications. Very easy check-in and checkout. Overall, was happy - would recommend to others and I would return myself.

The property was lovely. We found it very well equipped from the kitchen pans, utensils, dishes galore to the 6+ pool towels and pool floats/noodles to the puzzles and books to the 2 living areas and 3 eating areas to the great pool and grill. There are also bicycles and beach chairs. Everything was well maintained and very clean. Extra towels and sheets in the linen closet. We couldn't have asked for a better home. The dock was super fun, too. We did excursions daily to Sanibel, Naples, Sarasota, and Fort Meyers. It was nice to have such a quiet and centrally located home to return to each night.

This house is amazing it has everything that you need, this is our second time renting it. We bring our children’s bikes with us but they also have bikes in the garage which is great so we can ride with them. My daughter learned how to ride her bike without training wheels this year which was super exciting. We spent a lot of time in the pool, fishing outback and bike riding. The neighbors are super quiet you feel like you have the whole neighborhood to yourself, and on top of all that the homeowners are absolutely amazing. We will definitely rent again.

About the host

Host profile image
We purchased the home in 2011 and like to spend holidays and spring breaks with our children and grandchildren. Post Hurricane Ian the home has been remodelled and has all new appliances and furniture and new very comfortable beds!

Why they chose this property

The Yacht Club neighbourhood is the prime location in Cape Coral, offering the only beach in the Cape. The Yacht Club offers amenities such as tennis, shuffleboard, boat launch and and a waterfront restaurant with just a short bicycle ride. Add the warm weather, direct gulf access, and lots of shopping just a short drive away.

What makes this property unique

Tropical waterfront setting viewed in the quiet large lanai. Fishing at the pier and the occasional ray or manatee sighting. We love the relaxing environment and just being here!
