About this property

Villa Southern Dream - Delightful 3 BR waterfront Villa w. heated pool, dock and boat lift

Villa Southern Dream - Fully stocked and beautifully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront villa with a heated pool and 10,000 lb boat lift in Southwest Cape Coral. Spend your days boating, fishing, biking, and relaxing by the pool, all while being just minutes from open water, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. Sleeps 6.


We are a professional local property management company and are available 24/7 if needed.
Our property manager stops by the morning after your arrival to answer any of your questions.


Villa Southern Dream is located in desireable SW Cape Coral at the end of a cul-de-sac. It is close to shopping, dining, and entertainment. About 5 minutes away by car are Tarpon Point and Cape Harbor. Both locations offer great restaurants, a little boardwalk, bars, shops and more. About ½ mile away there is also a nice park with a playground for the little ones to play and have fun.

A week prior to your trip we will send you all the necessary information for your arrival and we will arrange a time with you for a brief meet and greet at the house with our property manager. During your stay, our property manager can always be reached via phone or by email.

Welcome to Southern Dream, where waterfront elegance meets laid-back Florida living. Spend your days boating to the beautiful nearby islands, fishing from your private dock, floating in the heated pool, or lounging in the sun with a good book. As evening falls, gather on the beautifully lit patio for a sunset barbecue and take in the peaceful canal views - this is the kind of escape Southern Dream was made for.

Perfectly situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in desirable Southwest Cape Coral, this beautiful home offers privacy, comfort, and a prime location on a wide canal. With a spacious dock and boat lift available for your use, Southern Dream is an ideal choice for guests who want to make the most of the waterfront lifestyle.

Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed and beautifully furnished, blending comfort with style. Every detail has been considered to make your stay effortless, with everything from beach towels and hair dryers to a coffee maker and blender provided for your convenience.

The bright open floor plan, large windows, and cheerful interiors fill the home with natural light and create an airy, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Whether you're gathering with family or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, every space feels inviting and relaxed.

The fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare memorable meals with ease. The open layout keeps you connected to the conversation while cooking, and the convenient pass-through window to the patio makes outdoor dining and entertaining simple and seamless.

The spacious master suite features a king-size bed, dresser, flat-screen TV, and direct access to the pool area. The en-suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower and a double vanity with dual sinks, creating a comfortable private retreat.

Both guest bedrooms feature queen-size beds and TVs, offering cozy and stylish accommodations for additional family members or friends.

Southern Dream is also ideally located near some of Cape Coral's favorite spots. A small river beach is just about a mile west, while Tarpon Point and Cape Harbour are only a short drive away, offering waterfront restaurants, bars, shops, and scenic boardwalks. A nearby park with a playground, just half a mile away, adds even more convenience for families traveling with children.

Primary guest must be at least 25 years of age and must be present during time of reservation.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This was the perfect house for our family of 4! The house is incredibly clean and well cared for. It had everything we needed. The kids loved fishing in the canal behind the house. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location!

This was our first time staying at Southern Dreams, and we've already booked it for next year. We loved the SW location and the house underwent a complete inside remodel, which has beautiful coastal colors and furniture. Would highly recommend staying here!

This property is very clean and updated. The pictures represent the property very accurately. It is also nicely stocked with kitchen, pool and beach items. The location is extremely quiet, fairly private in the pool area and seemed very safe. The only drawback, and I'm digging deep here, is the lack of nearby shopping or restaurants. There are options nearby, but a short drive is required. Overall a great property.

This was our second year at Southern Dream and it was a wonderful experience. Andrea and Charlie are wonderful property managers and answer texts and emails in a fast timeframe. The pool on the canal provided us with watching lots of boat activity and lounging with family. Would highly recommend staying here.

Great home

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Check in was easy. There is someone always available should you need something. The home is very clean with comfortable beds. Great kitchen. We grilled and used the pool daily. Our two kids (ages 5, 8) really enjoyed swimming every day. They have pool toys available for them. We rented a boat and used the dock. Highly recommend this home. Thank you Andrea!

Stellar Getaway

Southern Dreams villa exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in we all knew this was the perfect home for our family vacation. The house is beautifully appointed with high end details everywhere. Our special place was the large patio area surrounding the pool with a pretty dining area and 2 lounge areas. All with a view of the canal and Florida’s amazing sky. We visited 2 different Sanibel beaches that were perfect and an easy trip over. We would love to come back and stay again . Thank you Andrea 🌟

Don’t Splash Too Loud!

The house was lovely and the property manager answered our calls promptly. The pool area is the best part of the property - spacious and very nice and comfortable furniture. Our only issue was our kids & grandkids making noise in the pool - they were just having fun, but this is an extremely quiet neighborhood!

Spectacular 3 week vacation!

We vacationed 3 weeks at the Pelican. Our daughters (21, 24) loved the house (very relaxing) for grad school spring break. My husband and I rented a 26 ft boat to explore Sanibel, Captiva, and other islands. The canal from the house had easy access out to the river and to the gulf. So much to see and explore by boat, not to mention restaurants by boat. The fishing was terrific too. We caught several and brought them home to cook. The rooms were spread out nicely and comfortable. The pool was the perfect temperature. We would stay here again without hesitation and will recommend to friends. The grocery store is 5 min away. Loved our time here… didn’t want to go home.

Just as described or better!

Beautiful place, very clean and it had everything we needed. The maintenance company is on point! They were very responsive and helpful. The house is spacious, the neighborhood very quiet, and the view in the morning is amazing. I enjoyed doing the dishes while watching the boats pass by. Ft myers beach and sanibel are such a short drive away. We had always stayed at Fort myers beach condos but after this experience we prefer a house, the privacy you get and the space is worth the drive to the beach. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Andrea!
