The house was as pictured and had everything needed. The views of the marina and location to the restaurants and shops were perfect. KC was a great hostess! We had a wonderful vacation.
We have stayed at several very nice VRBO’s but this was the best one yet. The house is beautiful and extremely clean. (I am a clean freak, so it takes a lot to impress me). The hosts were great with communication and checkout was a breeze. We had dinner at Rumrunners one night and Fathoms the second night. Both are a short walk away. We definitely preferred Fathoms. The French Press coffee shop was also a great spot for breakfast. Highly recommend this home!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re truly honored to hear that Funky Fish House was your favorite stay that means a lot! We take great pride in keeping the home spotless and welcoming, so your feedback really means everything to us.
We’re so glad you enjoyed the location as well. Fathoms is definitely a favorite of ours too, and French Press is such a great way to start the morning! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We would love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing stay at Funky Fish House!
We have stayed in many VRBO houses and this was probably one of the very best. The home was beautiful and we felt so welcomed during our stay. The homeowner did a great job providing everything that would be needed. From shampoo/conditioner in each bathroom to a full spice rack in the kitchen. It truly was one of the most welcoming stays. I highly recommend this property.

We’re delighted to know the home made such a positive impression and provided an enjoyable and comfortable stay. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back again for another memorable visit!
Our host was very responsive; we even got some repairs done on Christmas Eve. The house has so many amenities that no need or even preference goes unmet. Last year I wanted bungee cords and boom they were there (this was my family’s fourth or fifth Christmas at the house); this year I wanted a Bo’s cutter and a tape measure and those appeared as well.

About the host
Hosted by KC Daniel
I truly love hosting guests in our home. Originally from New Jersey, my journey has taken me across the country—after marrying my husband, the Air Force relocated us to Washington State for four years, and we now call Delaware home. Florida’s weather holds a special place in my heart, and my greatest joy is soaking up the sunshine on our decks. I hope you enjoy the warmth, comfort, and relaxation of our home just as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
This home was very well built, you will feel completely at rest once you walk through our home. Our goal is for you and your family to relax and enjoy the sunsets!
What makes this property unique
5886 Shell Cove Drive stands apart for its rare combination of luxury, location, and lifestyle. Situated within the sought-after Cape Harbor community, the home offers a true waterfront, walkable experience—something few properties can match. Unlike many homes, this residence provides direct marina access, a private dock accommodating up to a 55-foot boat with 50-amp shore power, and the ability to step outside and stroll to waterfront dining, bars, and shops. The Main Street–style environment creates a resort-like atmosphere where convenience and coastal charm come together seamlessly. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for both comfort and entertaining, featuring multiple living levels, upscale finishes, soaring ceilings, and expansive indoor-outdoor spaces with marina views. Each level offers privacy and flexibility, making it ideal for hosting guests, extended stays, or multi-generational living. What truly sets 5886 Shell Cove Drive apart is the balance of elegance and ease—a luxury waterfront home where boating, dining, sunset views, and everyday living are all effortlessly connected. It’s not just a home; it’s a lifestyle rarely found and highly sought after in Cape Coral.
