About this property
Waterfront Retreat.Kid&Pet friendly! Relax & Fish off dock.Now booking 2026
The Coral Cottage is located on one of the many canals in the Caloosahatche river district; you are just minutes away from the river, the Gulf of Mexico, and the beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel. Fun fact...Cape Coral is known as the Venice of the United States due to its intricate canal systems!
The Coral Cottage offers both comfort and style in a relaxing tropical setting. This ranch style 3 bedroom (1 King bed and 2 Queen Beds) 2 bath home with a two car garage is the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the beautiful Southwest Florida sunshine. It is also so centrally located that it is adjacent to many of the exciting attractions in the area.
Imagine yourself drinking your morning coffee on the dock swing while fish jump in the canal and songbirds twill in the palm trees. Evenings the dock is well lit for sunset cocktails watching the spectacular display of colors as the sun goes down. The fishermen in the family can try their hand at a little night Snook fishing right off the dock (there are also Jacks, Catfish, Mangrove Snapper, etc. in the canal)! Please feel free to ask about the local fishing...we are avid fishermen ourselves and Grace is your fishing expert. Kids LOVE fishing off the dock......we have poles you can use! Don't know how to fish? No problem. We give free lessons!
Need pool time? The saltwater pool is heated and enclosed for year round enjoyment, accessed from either the main living room or from the master suite. Plenty of reclining deck chairs surround the pool which directly faces the canal.
The screened in outside lanai has additional seating and a dining area, allowing you to enjoy meals in a tropical setting (there is really something special about eating dinner on the lanai while your friends and family are up north in the winter!). Want to cook on the grill? The gas grill is easily accessible from the lanai.
Does the beach call to you? The cottage is a quick 20-30 minute drive to the beaches of Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel Beach.....just remember during peak season to leave a little early for traffic. Water activities? There’s ample room to dock a rental pontoon type boat.
Are you a pet owner that loves to travel with your fur babies? We have you covered in our flexible pet policy, being dog owners we understand. The area has quiet palm lined streets that are great for morning and evening dog walks. Pets are always 'on approval' and if you have a kitty, reach out to us.....we may be able to accommodate you!
IMPORTANT!
If you are traveling with your pet, you must select traveling with pet and pay the pet fee in the reservation.
We are not only owners, we are also neighbors, so any questions or issues are answered right away.
(Please note that our refund policy changes from month to month, long term and peak season are non refund times: we have to do that because those times are planned many months ahead and usually cancelations are impossible to fill )

About the host
Hosted by .
We love vacations and we realize a large portion of our clients like us are not wealthy, and what could be as seen as a simple stay, in fact could be a once in a lifetime experience, so we will do our best to make your stay memorable ! We will help and encourage you to explore, whether it's outdoor or indoor activities, as there are many options. We also understand the need to just relax and unwind.
Why they chose this property
Like so many others, we started coming to Florida on vacations, and by chance while staying on Ft. Myers Beach, discovered Cape Coral, love the water access, and left owning a home. For our boating and fishing lifestyle its perfect.
What makes this property unique
The Coral Cottage as we call it is quiet, cool, comfortable and the perfect spot for the traveling professional or traveling family to call their home away from home! We are about 20 minutes away from Fort Myers Beach, and 10 minutes from the Cape Coral Yacht Club Beach.
