Our large Luxury vacation home is very close to many beaches, golf courses, shopping and some of the best dining. This vacation villa is an entertainment destination with a south facing sun drenched pool deck with comfortable sitting lanai area and outdoor TV. The house configuration has an ideal layout where 3 of the bedrooms and bathrooms are in their own wing of the house. Our 2300 sq ft holiday home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms decorated in Key West and Tropical colors for a soothing holiday atmosphere.
What will strike you immediately as you walk in, is the view to the South facing pool deck and canal from almost every room starting from the front door, to the kitchen, dining room and master bedroom. The large open sliders brings in the sunshine adding to your holiday feel, and calls you to come out to the pool deck to relax and enjoy life.
What makes this home a hit with our guests is the close proximity to amenities like Del Prado Blvd where all the stores are within 5 minute drive but far enough away from the boulevard where the only sounds you will hear in the morning are the Florida tropical bird calls from your morning bed.
The following are some features of the Vacation Villa:
- 50" LED Samsung HDTV in the Living room and ROKU TVs in the bedrooms - Highly equipped kitchen for all your cooking, baking, roasting needs - Keurig, Mr Coffee makers and under cabinet built-in beverage cooler - High speed 250mbps+ Internet for everyone to fulfill their streaming needs - Salt water swimming pool - great for kids or adults sensitive to chemicals - Electric heated pool - faster and more effective than solar in colder temps - A large eat-in kitchen (up to 8) with island - Ample counter space with counter task lighting and room for multiple chefs - A separate sitting area or a reading nook with a task desk for anyone needing a desk to work quietly from - Streaming services from every TV in the living room and bedrooms - Adult bicycles, Beach Supplies, Beach chairs, Beach BBQ, Coolers, Fishing Poles - Location is within 10 minutes drive to Groceries, Dining, Shopping, Boat rentals - Boat Dock with Patio Set to watch boats or fish go by during your morning coffee

We are located in the Yachting Community of Cape Coral which has over 400 miles of Canals, that's more than Venice Italy! We sit directly on the canal so you can enjoy watching the Dolphins, Manatees and Stingrays swimming along.
Our reviews speak for themselves. As proud vacation home owners, because we always dreamed of having one, we want to make our guests feel the same magic we felt when we spend time there in South West Florida.
If boating is your passion, then you will truly enjoying watching the Yachts on their way to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico as you lounge by your private Heated Pool or just sit on the dock and the sunsets.
The home is conveniently located near Cape Coral Beach and is about 7 mins drive to Downtown Fort Myers. Visit the Ford and Edison Estates if you like taking in some history or take in some local seafood at Joe Crabshack.
The location is ideal for the ladies in the group because it is only 25 minutes drive to Fort Myers Beach or 30 minutes to Estero for shopping at outlet malls like Coconut Point Mall or Miromar Outlets or Tanger Outlet on your way to Sanibel Island on Summerlin Road.
For the guys, there are plenty of public Golf Courses around Cape Coral and Fort Myers to choose from like Eastwood (3.7 / 5.0) , Riverbend Golf Course (4.0 / 5.0), or Golf at Magnolia Landing (4.2 / 5.0), Eagle Ridge (3.6 / 5.0).
For those rich in taste, visit Downtown Naples and walk along 5th Avenue for some high end shops. Our advice is to go there for the view, or perhaps a coffee / glass of wine, but get your bargains at Tanger or Miromar Outlets.

The house was beautiful, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was more than well-equipped, and things were easy to find. We had some questions about how to use the spa, and the property manager took the time to explain everything to us. The location was great for us--it was easy to get into Fort Myers and out to the beach on Captiva. Would definitely recommend and book again.

Thank you Samantha for staying at our vacation Villa. We appreciate you taking time to write us a very nice review. Hope to have you back someday soon.
We had a great time at this villa. The kitchen was beautiful and had every utensil and cooking appliance you would need. Also everything was labeled so they were easily found and returned. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms immaculate. The view outside, the pool, could not have been better. And the property manager, Sonja welcomed us and answered all our questions making our stay that much better.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! The house was perfect for us and our adult children as we had plenty of common space to enjoy time together and each of them had their own private space as well. The owner and property manager were great to work with and helped to make our Christmas trip merry!

Lovely, roomy VRBO with pool and many things that made our stay lovelier (bikes, golf clubs, fishing poles). Location was so-so; one needed a car and most sights were ~30 mins away, but the house itself was great, and we drove to many nice sights.

Beautiful house, nice detail. Everyone was comfortable and enjoyed themselves. Mike, the owner, answered all questions and addressed any concerns to my satisfaction. I loved the special touches that made staying there even more inviting.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property! Wonderful location. The house being on the canal was gorgeous. I had a question and Mike was very reachable and extremely helpful. We would rent again!

The house was exactly as listed, great place for a couple families with small children. The private walk out pool was a life saver. Nice quiet neighborhood. Only a short drive to fort Myers and other attractions. We would come back again.

Great time!! Will stay here again if we get the chance
We were here for only 5 nights and it was great. Michael (the owner) and Heidi (property management) were in contact with us from the very beginning to the end of our stay. Michael provided great information about the house and the area. We found many new places to eat during this stay. I would highly recommend this property for a family stay. Plenty of recreational equipment and the pool was great.

Thanks you Rhonda and family for your stay and your very kind review. Looking forward to having you back anytime, cheers, Mike & Catherine
This respite was everything that we needed! I can’t say enough about Sonja the property manager. I manage 11 divisions and millions of square feet of space and get there are countless details to maintain real estate. There was a hiccup for the pool heat and spa…but they attended to the issue right away. - hope to have the chance come back for a longer visit.Many thanks for such kind hospitality. Paul from Boston

Thank you Paul for your stay and your review, much appreciated.
We decided to visit friends in Fort Myers, but their home was too small for us to stay, so we rented this home. We enjoyed our stay at the home. The pictures and description are accurate and the house had everything we needed during our stay. It is located in a quiet community, with plenty of restaurants, shopping, and amenities close by.

Wonderful Home
We so enjoyed our stay in this spacious, clean and well maintained home. The kitchen was organized and well stocked. Our grandchildren visited for a few days and thoroughly enjoyed the pool, fishing from the dock and learning to play pool. The house manager Heidi was great to work with. Great vacation property!

Great house!
We'd definitely stay at this house again. It was perfect! Perfect location, great amenities, very well stocked with just about anything you need, and nice and clean. The pool was a hit with the grandkids and the adults sure did enjoy the pool table out on the lanai. Couldn't have asked for anything more!

The photos are accurate, clean and well maintained. Great layout for bigger families or couples.
Property was secure and clean everything you may need was there and in good condition. The only negative is the hot tub on the side of the pool doesn't really function as a hot tub.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2020
Thanks Dan, for your stay and your review. On a side note, we have not advertised our Hot Tub as a Hot Tub for some time. It is there for 2 adults to sit in while the Pool Heater streams Hot water into it and then overflows into the pool. Ideal for colder temps when heating the pool takes longer and requires more energy to heat, while the 2 person tub provides immediate Hot Water comfort.
Thanks for your stay.

Loved staying in this beautiful home. The house was plenty big enough for our family and friends and had everything we needed! This house is also close to several beaches. During our week stay we visited Naples, Venice, Boca Grande, Fort Myers, Sanibel and Captiva Islands, and also Miami. It was great being able to experience the many different beaches of Florida.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Geraats
Catherine and Michael are first generation Canadians with parents from Germany, The Netherlands and Scotland. We love Florida, especially SW (South West) and particularly Cape Coral. The people are friendly, the beaches are clean and the weather is almost always sunny. We enjoy being hosts to our North American and European guests seeking a break from cold winters and in search of sun and fun.
Why they chose this property
This property is located on a quiet street yet close enough to the main area of shopping on Del Prado Boulevard. You are only minutes away by car to take one of 2 bridges over to Fort Myers to explore Fort Myers Beach or Sanibel Island.
Shopping outlets are nearby at Tanger Outlets or Miramar Outlets in Estero.
Local Golf courses are very inexpensive with golf carts included.
What makes this property unique
The Southern facing backyard takes full advantage of the Florida sun which averages 266 days per year. It has a bright pool deck with pocket sliding glass doors that disappear behind the walls that really opens up the home to the outside.
Also a huge Kitchen made us fall in love with this home as we normally like Eat-in kitchens where family discussions brings everyone together, as a break from their iPhones and iPads (well maybe not always ;-).
