Great Lanai

We really enjoyed our visit. Hosts were so welcoming and answered all our questions quickly. The pool and lanai were wonderful and provided for a lot of family memories. This is our 3rd time staying here and it has been great each time. The property is very convenient to Sanibel and Captiva and local amenities. Thanks to our hosts for their hospitality.

Just what we were looking for!

We were seeking a quiet relaxing few days following a cruise. We wanted privacy, a peaceful setting, a heated pool, and a comfortable home. This property delivered all of these requirements. The pool was lovely and warm, and we enjoyed beautiful sunshine and tranquility. The area has so much spectacular wildlife, including a pair of burrowing owls at the bottom of the drive way.- so cute! We would happily recommend this home. Thank you to our hosts!

Wonderful Stay with Young Family

We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous waterfront home. The linai was a highlight, allowing the warm fresh air to fill the house. The pool was gorgeous and perfect for kids, there is a deep step that lines one long side so it gives the non-swimmers more place to play. We also loved that there is a huge collection of beach gear which made our day on Sanibel Island fantastic. The home was beautiful, great kitchen, comfortable beds, and fantastic location.

House is beautiful! Paul & Susan have thought of everything before you have thought of it! Beach umbrella, booster seat for kids, beach towels and beach toys! The kitchen has everything you need for staying in or grilling out by the pool. The pool is perfect too. Could not have asked for anything better! Can't wait until we can visit again!

Lovely home, Amazing lanai with great pool

We stayed there 2 years ago and loved the location and the amenities. We booked the house for the month of June this year and loved every minute of it. Everything you could possibly need is in the house and beach toys, coolers and a wagon is in the garage. My husband enjoyed fishing and we all enjoyed the pool. We saw manatees in the canal and several iguanas on the deck. We visited several of the beaches on Sanibel/Captiva Islands and found lots of shells. . A good portion of our time was spent on the lanai/pool area. It is amazing. My 7 year old grandson was with us and he enjoyed the pool area very much. We ate several meals on the lanai. The kitchen is very well equipped and the house is beautifully decorated. Beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of towels. I highly recommend this home. Paul and Susan are great at communicating with you. We can’t wait until our next trip! Kim, Bruce, Brooke and Blaine

Great home away from home for the holidays!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This was the first time we have ever rented a property and it was especially meaningful to us because we have never been away from home for the holidays. Everything you could have wanted was there right down to a mini screwdriver (which came in handy) a crab pod, beach towels and a beach wagon. The pool is wonderful and a great place to relax. We tried our luck fishing but only caught a blue crab, and a baby alligator! So close to everything! We appreciated the Christmas tree being up for us so we could have that holiday feel. Thanks for providing us a place that was a great home away from home!

About the host

Hosted by Paul or Susan Stark

Host profile image
HI, we are the Stark's (no relation to "Tony") and we grew up in Toledo, Ohio. WE have 7 children and 14 grand children who are scattered all around the globe. We purchased our home here in sunny SW Florida in 2004 visiting frequently until we decided to make it our permanent residence in 2006. Paul still owns a Men's clothing store in Holland, Ohio, and Susan has continued to work in Real Estate.
We purchased this home in December of 2016, and have done a tremendous amount of remodeling to make it the perfect Vacation get-a-way.

Why they chose this property

We decided on Cape Coral because so many of our friends have purchased homes here, and the beaches, night life and weather are hard to beat. There is ALWAYS something to do, the people are friendly and when we travel, we enjoy having a home to kick back and relax in after a day of adventures. You will find you may not want to leave!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. Fish from your own dock, rent a kayak or a boat, adventure out and explore the many parks and nature trails. Visit the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, take in a ball game, golf, jet ski, parasail, do some shelling. But, most of all be sure to just come home to your own retreat and relax by the pool and say AAAAHHHHHHH!!!
