Expansive, open-concept
Pool area with waterfall!  No worries - The alligator is just there for your photo opportunities.  He, like our shark Jaws, doesn't bite!  haha
We have invited "Jaws" to your next stay with us here at Seaside Escape!  No worries, he won't eat anyone, but will allow some great photo opportunities!
Home Sweet Home!  Large driveway that will easily accommodate 4 vehicles. We do NOT allow garage parking.

Excellent home
Amazing house. We had a wonderful family vacation with great memories. There was plenty of room for 9 of us. As soon as we walked in the front door we were so happy to see how spacious, beautifully decorated and clean everything was. This house has all the extra amenities you could want, and more. We really enjoyed the pool area and sitting by the canal havjng coffee in the morning. Our host Karen was wonderful. Her special extra touches were amazing. I highly recommend this home.

Perfect house
This house was amazing! We had 10 people in our party and fit comfortable here. The host Karen was a god send. We stayed over Christmas break and she put up a tree and even gave gifts to all of the kids. She was very tentative to every detail. I will definitely be staying here again!

First family vacation
This property was perfect for a family of 10! 8 adults and 2 toddlers. Its has all the amenities you would need to enjoy indoor and outdoor fun. The pool area was great, with a lot of pool toys, bar, large table and waterfall. The patio doors open wide to extend the living space. We spent most of our time outdoors. The location was close to everything, restaurants, liquor store, groceries. Our hostess was very easy to communicate with and was always available for questions. She was amazing and even decorated for Christmas and left goodies for the kids to make it feel like Christmas. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Amazing place! Thank you for making it a wonderful experience and family vacation. Dont miss out on this place! Rent this one, you won’t be disappointed!!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Laknahur

Host profile image
My husband and I have been married for 27 years and have 4 children, 2 small dogs and live in Cincinnati, Ohio. We have a daughter serving our great nation in The United States Air Force and another daughter medical school. Our youngest daughter is a senior in high school and our son Samuel is in 9th grade. I work in education and my husband works in IT (computer software.) We absolutely fell in love with the Cape Coral area many years ago because of location, lifestyle and all the intersecting canals. Cape Coral is our little piece of Venice, Italy offering over 400 miles of intersecting canals. We have always loved hosting - having an open-door policy to family and friends! It's in our blood to make sure our guests feel like "Seaside Escape" is truly their home away from home!

Why they chose this property

Our home is in the "middle of it all," yet tucked away in a quiet family neighborhood. Restaurants and shopping are only a few blocks away. Our beautiful home sits on a large canal, and we have a massive boat dock with 20,000 lb boat lift (available for guests' use.) The key for us, when buying this house, was that it had Gulf of Mexico access! Our son enjoys fishing from the dock on the days we are not out on open water. Renters are welcome to bring their boat and dock it at our house or use one of the many boating companies here in Cape Coral and book your day or days of fishing, dolphin sightseeing, or just relaxing while island hopping! We suggest going to Cabbage Key and enjoying a meal there! We also have a friend and boat captain that we can highly recommend!

What makes this property unique

Our home is one-story with an open-concept, high-end amenities and wheelchair accessible! We are pet friendly, allowing up to 2 dogs each 50lbs and under per stay (additional pet fee.) We are in a fantastic location with easy access to shopping, bars, and restaurants. We have a completely fenced in backyard, providing extra safety for toddlers and pets. We have truly tried to think of all the amenities providing, also, coffee (regular and decaf) and an assortment of teas for our guests. Our owner's suite (master bedroom) is extremely spacious with a walk-in closet and the master bathroom provides a "spa like" feeling with soaker tub. All our bedrooms flat screen TVs and ceiling fans. Our outdoor area is simply dreamy ... giving you a Caribbean feel while grilling on our high-end Weber grill or splashing around in our heated pool with waterfall. The outside bar area has just been enhanced with high-top, Captain's Adirondack chairs (4) that we painted in Caribbean colors, a flat screen TV, mini fridge and an 8 foot hanging shark over the bar that we affectionately call "Jaws!" No worries - he doesn't bite! Our massive boat dock and Adirondack chairs and tables have been painted in Caribbean colors, and this is the perfect spot to cast your fishing pole (we have some in garage area) or simply relax with your favorite drink in hand and enjoy the sunset. Attached to the dock is our kayak platform, allowing easy access in and out of the water if you decide to kayak. We have 3 kayaks in the garage, free for our guests' use. The 20,000 lb. boat lift provides dry protection should you choose to bring your boat. It's just a short ride out to open water and enjoying the day island hopping and seeing an abundance of wildlife! We have many suggestions for boating and places to go ... We are here for any questions you may have and pride ourselves on our communication skills. Our goal is to make sure your stay with us is nothing less than wonderful!
