The quiet neighborhood is lovely and safe for walking or biking to enjoy the Florida landscapes. Our lot is the corner lot with 207 total feet of shoreline on both wide intersecting canals. We have vacationed in Cape Coral for 23 years now and love the place. We searched for years to find the ideal lot and found it in 2010. In 2015 we completed this 3000 sq ft home (280 meters) incorporating all the features necessary for the most comfortable and luxurious vacation possible. We also built into it all the "aging in place" features we could think of. It is well above the standards of most rental homes because it was built for our private enjoyment and we live here five months each year. We believe you will very much enjoy your stay here. Suffice to say....it is a very special home.
