The propoerty was well kept and fairly represented
My wife and I stayed here for the month of September. We can't say enough good things about the condo and the owner was even better. He was VERY responsive and caring toward us and made every effort to insure we enjoyed our stay. If we could give it 10 stars we would.
Also, the location was very close to shopping and local restaurants and Fort Meyers.
We would definitely stay here again.
The property is very nice. Beautiful canal surrounds the property. We have a 9 and an 11 year old. The gated community is quite safe and we let them ride their scooters around without us. The pool was on the small side and was filled with retirees. Not many kids in this place so we had to really be careful with what the kids could do in the pool so as not to disturb the other "swimmers". Most people here are snowbirds so Dec-April is the high season. Most people were very friendly.
Benn's condo was very well stocked with cooking utensils and other basic items you could need. Benn is super nice and accomodating. The condo was exactly as described/pictured. We stayed two months and could have stayed longer. We would absolutely stay in this place again.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 March 2021
Terry and his family were great to have as guests. He even did a repair on a door handle that broke and saved us the expense of calling out a repairman. Our condo was well taken care of by his family, and we'd be very happy to host them again.
We were very comfortable in Benn’s condo. We had everything we needed for a two month stay. The pool, hot tub, tennis/pickle ball courts, kayak were all available. The walk around the canal was great exercise and a pleasant view, as well. We even saw manatee and dolphin!
I highly recommend staying at this property. It was very updated and extremely clean, The location cannot be beat it is just minutes to everywhere in Cape coral and about 10 min and about 10 minutes to downtown Fort Myers.
The owners were very receptive to all of my needs.
We had a wonderful stay at the Walker property. The location and the amenities if the property exceeded our expectations. We felt comfortable and safe the entire visit.
Such amazing nature right off the lanai! Manatees, fish, hawks, iguanas, birds etc. nice quiet community. Clean condo. Owner communicates very well and immediately. Pleasant stay for 3 months while our new home was being built!

Excellent Experience
Great location and very friendly host. Benn was able to take us out several times on his boat. He definitely made the whole process very easy as this was our first VRBO/AirBNB experience. The condo had everything you could ask for (WiFi, cable TV, washer/dryer, etc.). The beds were incredibly comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Place to Stay!
We have stayed at this condo for two years and just love it there. The owner is a very friendly person and kind and caring. The condo is very homey and the wild life you see is great. We stayed other places but this just feels like home.

Awsome vaccation condo!!
We, a family of four, stayed at the condo in July 2016 and had a wonderful time. The pictures of the place is accurate. The area is very nice and clean. It´s close to everything, shops,restaurants and nature but still a very calm and quiet place. The owner, Benn, is very helpful with whatever you would need to get help with. The poolarea is very well maintained as well as the rest of the community. We had everything that we wanted at our stay. This is a place that we will love to come back to!

Island Cove Condo, Cape Coral, FL
The description and photos were accurate. The Condo, as well as the surrounding property and pool, was clean and well maintained. We were there a month. It was very comfortable with the appropriate amenities. The owner outdid himself to help make our stay enjoyable. Stores, restaurants, and attractions were plenty and if not enough, Ft Myers is just over the bridge. I would recommend it to others.
About the host
Hosted by Benn & Gaylene Walker
We're Colorado residents who wished we had more time to spend in Florida. Our kids love coming down there and we all really enjoy the boating and beaches in southwest Florida.
Why they chose this property
We have relatives in Cape Coral, and thought we'd buy a vacation home in the hopes of spending more time with them when we can get the time off to visit. Island Cove is secure, modern, beautiful, and has quick access to the river.
What makes this property unique
Boat dock and lift now available for rent (10,000lb lift for up to a 26' boat); three person kayak and children's kayak for renters' use.
