Our family of 5 stayed here and thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the amenities the house offered. The owners have thought of everything and we spent a week relaxing and experiencing the Cape Coral/Ft Myers area. The location is great and nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderfully long, stress-free, stay at this beautiful home. Owners were extremely attentive and responsive to all our needs, making it easy to just enjoy our time in the area.
We loved this house. Beautiful, roomy and perfect for families. The owners have thought of everything and even have a wonderful webpage with all the necessary information for the house and helpful information about the city and surrounding area. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your kind words. We look forward to hosting you again.
We had such an amazing time in this beautiful home! The layout is wonderfully comfortable, and the kitchen quickly became our favorite hangout spot with plenty of space and seating. The kids loved the pool and spent most of their time outside enjoying it. Everything was spotless and so inviting! We also enjoyed evening walks around the neighborhood and were thrilled to spot several owls!
We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen, coffee bar, and pool and beach equipment. The house was stocked with many of the items that are easily forgotten at home for convenience. The location was perfect and we enjoyed the pool every evening. We would definitely stay here again!

Nicole,
We would love to have you back for a relaxing, family vacation.
Thank you!!
We had a wonderful Father’s Day vacation in this wonderful home, which is in a quiet neighborhood, but close to all nearby markets and local businesses. The house is beautifully decorated and fully- equipped with all essentials. The house is spacious and roomy allowing everyone to have space to rest and relax. We fully enjoyed lounging in the heated pool and fishing in the dock. Communication with the owners was superb, very attentive to our needs. We would definitely love staying here again.
The house was perfect for us. We wanted to spend the whole time at the house, playing in the pool, and enjoying the water. It met all of our needs and was a beautiful house to stay in. Comfortable beds, great spots to gather and eat, or lounge around. We made some amazing memories there. We had quick responses from the property owners for even small requests.

We look forward to having you stay with us again. Thank you for your review!
This property was beautifully decorated and very comfortable with lots of different living space for relaxing, watching TV or hanging out together. It was very well-stocked and we found it had everything we needed. The coffee bar was a great perk and we appreciated the beach equipment. The location on the canal was gorgeous with a beautiful view of the sunset and some manatees that visited from time to time. The property manager was very amenable and accommodating, with prompt communication. We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property.

Thank you so much!! We love the area and the house too! It is always hard to go back to the daily grind after a stay. Thank you for the feedback on the website and the Welcome packet. We truly want everyone to feel welcome and enjoy their stay.
This home was beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool and lanai were fantastic, and we loved relaxing outside with the peaceful canal view. We had no complaints at all and would happily stay here agaIn.
We were very pleased with our stay at this home. The house was well supplied with amenities and the hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Would stay there again.
Going on vacation and staying in this home away from home was a magical experience for me, my husband, our son and his wife and our daughter and her boyfriend. The home was sparkling clean when we got there. Everything you could ever wish for was so well thought out. The towels were plentiful and plush, the kitchen well appointed and pool was the perfect temperature. The beds were super comfortable and seating around the pool was exactly where you wanted to be with a cup of coffee every morning. This house inspires relaxation and fun. We caught catfish off the dock and the kids brought a paddle board to navigate the canals. The restaurants, beaches and shops in the area are all fun to explore. Overall, we would give this vacation spot a 10++!!

So happy to hear that you had a great vacation and that you enjoyed the house as much as we do! Thank you for your kind words!!
Our stay was an absolute A+! The house was very clean & beds were extremely comfy! House was adorably decorated and had a very open feel! Loved the huge sliding glass doors from almost every room to the pool and lanai area.
The owners were super on it! Any questions we had were answered right away.
Pool was clean and warm. Kids loved it! (I loved the bathroom right off the pool area so the kids weren’t tracking in wet footprints! Lol!)
We are already planning a trip back! Thank you to the owners for all of the special touches and making our family vacay awesome!
