We booked this at the last minute and the hosts were very accommodating. We had a wonderful experience. I’m very picky and this house was just what we were looking for. The homes Open layout was great. Bright morning AND afternoon light filled the house which I enjoyed so much. Sunset views off the canal. It was nicely furnished and the views of the pool and canals were lovely. We fished a bit but mostly enjoyed the pool and relaxing at the Riki bar on the dock. Location was exceptional!!! Close to most of the popular waterfront Restaurants. With this central location we were able to explore Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda and Sanibel Island.

Excellent stay! We really appreciated all of the extras that you don’t always find in vacation rentals. A well stocked kitchen with cooking essentials, pots, pans, utensils, etc., beach chairs and umbrella (even rain umbrellas!), beach towels, and fishing poles. We visited around Christmas and they had a beautiful Christmas tree and decorations up which added to our enjoyment. The pool was heated which was great for evening swims. Best vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at! Thank you!!

We love this place! This was our second time staying here in 3 months. Our boys loved fishing off the dock, and the pool was always a favorite! The Wal-Mart is right up the road so that if we needed something, it was a quick trip. We will definitely go back!
