Villa Pelican, Luxury Lake Front ~ Kayaks & Bikes Bring the Family!

This was our first time to Cape Coral and we are already planning to return! The house was just as described. Comfortable, spacious, clean, and had everything we could have wanted. The property manager stopped by the first day and was very nice and helpful. We took advantage of the kayaks, bikes, and of course the pool! We also rented a boat that was delivered and picked back up from the house. It was so nice to be able to ride out into the Gulf and spend the day at different beaches. Would recommend this house to all. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Villa Pelican feels like a deluxe cottage on the lake in the city. The sweeping lake views are very relaxing and the sunsets over the lake are spectacular. Kayaking on the lakes was a delight. The location is excellent. A Publix grocery store is one mile away. The Rotary park with walking trails, a butterfly garden and nature centre, and a playground for children, is 500 yards from the house. Many restaurants and the Yacht Club Beach are within a ten minute drive. The house was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses, pots and pans, and there are plenty of towels and linens in very good condition. The lanai area is large and the heatable pool was a delight. The tiki hut deck and boat lift deck are in need of repair. Otherwise this home is in good condition. A few minor maintenance items were repaired immediately. The Roelens team took very good care of us! Thanks!

My wife and I are just packing to leave after spending two weeks amazing weeks. Waking up every morning to the sun dancing off the lake and listening to the ducks is quite remarkable. The home although modest was perfect for us. Be prepared to supply basic needs such as toilet paper, paper towel, dish soap and some kitchen supplies. The pool although small is perfect because is heat up fast and stays warm easily so not having to continually worry about the electric bill. We rented a boat for 5 days while here which was awesome. Trips to Estero and Fort Myers as well as quick jaunts to our favourite spot. The Boathouse tiki bar. One big negative to the property. The boat lift / dock and tiki hut are in quite disrepair. Our boat rental company were very hesitant to put their boat in the lift. I believe the whole dock requires significant work. Upon inquiry to rent again, we discovered a significant price increase for 2019. It appears some $40 per night. At that price I would expect the boat dock to be replaced and some more upgrades to the home. I.e, updated master bathroom, and windows that don’t allow as much of the road noise off Pelican BLvd. All in all an excellent spot and we will certainly return.

Great location. The view over the lake in the morning sunrise was spectacular. The house although modest, was very comfortable and the pool was great. Dock and boat lift in desperate need of repair. Our boat rental company was hesitant to put their boat in the lift. Be prepared to supply essentials such as paper towel, toilet tissue, Kleenex and basic kitchen supplies. A substantial raise in 2019 rates may prohibit us from returning unless upgrades to dock and updating bathrooms have been completed.

Well appointed home with great water/lake views especially in mornings and evenings. Pool is easy to heat and pool cover holds temperature overnight. Management and maintenance personnel responsive, any problems we encountered.

Villa Pelican is an older property that has been nicely refurbished, but expect that minor inconveniences may need to be addressed by staff.
