Unfortunately, we didn't have much time, but this wonderful, spacious house by a lake, in the middle of a beautiful community, is a real gem; a place to switch off and just be happy. From the very first minute, you can feel that the owners have furnished it with great taste and love and probably spend a lot of time here themselves. We will try to rent this paradise again as soon as possible, this time for a longer vacation so that we also have time to explore the nearby beaches of Sanibel Island and Fort Myers Beach.The property management also deserves special praise; check-in and check-out were extremely friendly and hassle-free.

We were welcomed by the host, Angela. She was wonderful and explained so nice, where to go, what to do. The villa was a dream. Never had a vacation home like that before, absolutely gorgeous. Everything was perfect, I slept like a baby in the comfortable bed. The house was cleaned to perfection. Will definitely come back. The owners have great taste, the interior and the decoration was amazing. Thank yoy to the owners, thanks to the wonderful propert manager Angela ! Could I give 6 stars ? They deserve it !

Hello and welcome! My name is Angela Diederichs. I’m originally from Germany and moved to beautiful Florida in 2021 after many years of spending vacations here. I fell in love with Southwest back in 2008 — so much that my family and I purchased our first home here. Today, I live in Cape Coral with my husband and daughter, and I’m proud to call this sunny paradise my home.

Why they chose this property

It's like in a fairy tale.

What makes this property unique

It's completely different from those Florida Houses everybody knows. The location is priceless. Watch the wildlife on your own lake while having breakfast. these are memories made to last forever !
