I had such a peaceful stay here. The setting was incredibly tranquil, perfect for a relaxing getaway. I loved sipping my morning coffee on the lanai. Ample amenities, clean and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind.
Beautiful well kept home, lovely pool and dock on water. Close to Westin resort and restaurants, Cape Harbor Marina area with live music and Sanibel Beaches. A Gem!! Loved or stay as we did last year.
Thank you John for letting us spend our vacation in your house again. As with our stays in previous years, we were completely satisfied too. We can recommend the villa 100%.
Great place for the 3 of us; immaculately kept and supplied, especially with kitchen prep items. Pool use limited only by cold weather, but heat and cover kept it usable. Conveniently located to parks, beaches and restaurants, and our very helpful host John added his own picks. We really liked his personal touch!
A very delightful home to stay at while on vacation. We found everything we can possibly need to have a fun filled stay. The house is clean and comfortable, and we loved the pool and deck area and used it daily.
My husband and I love staying here. The host has thought of everything you might need and has it readily available. The home is lovely, well cared for, and clean. Favorite part is the screened in patio and pool; we spend most of our time out there. We love it so much we’ve stayed there several times and consider it our home away from home.
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The home is very clean and cozy. The home has everything you need. We loved relaxing by the pool and fishing off of the canal. We will come back and stay again!
Thank you John & Shannon
This home offers everything you want and expect for a vacation. Open, clean, every amenity you can imagine and the perfect lanai and pool to enjoy being outside.
Host is very responsive and easy to talk with.
We enjoyed our stay in Cape Coral. John was highly responsive and checked in with us the first day to make sure everything was as expected. The home was perfect - clean, well appointed and has everything you will need from a varity of cooler sizes to a beach umbrella in case you want to take a short drive to Fort Myers Beach. We will definitely stay here again!
The home is furnished and decorated very nicely. Also well equipped with all accessories and very comfortable. The pool was a major plus, especially for the children. We totally enjoyed our stay and holiday together with family.
My stay, here was wonderful! The pool and lanai were beautiful and the house was very clean and had more than we expected. John was very responsive to any questions that we had. I definitely recommend this property.
We knew the minute we walked in the door and everything was clean and smelled fresh that this place was exactly as posted on the site.
The pool on the lanai was so refreshing after getting warmed up in the sun.
Fishing from the dock was our highlight of the trip, we caught a lot of snappers, and other species including a small shark. Got to see a manatee swimming up the canal.
We will definitely be returning!

Very nice property!
Thanks John for accommodating our last minute reservation! The house had a great open floor plan, pool and hot tub were lovely, it was affordable for us, near to Sanibel and fishing for my husband and son and not too far from Barefoot Beach and the other beautiful shelling beaches in the area. Definitely exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend!
Amazing extremely clean home and property. Comfy beds. Heated pool was a major plus. Fishing out back and always seem to be biting. Hope to have it every year we give this one a A plus!!!
It would have been nice to know there is a tole bridge and to bring my own toilet paper and shampoo and dishwasher soap

Wonderful house, it had everything need it for a very confortable vacation. GREAT communication with the owner, thanks John! We felt at home in a very safe and secure neighborhood. We'll definitely rent again. We cannot wait 'til next summer.

This home was very clean and much larger than we expected, the pictures do not do the room sizes justice. Additionally, the owner has provided everything you could think of to enjoy your stay, even a few floor fans for those of us who need some white noise to sleep. Check in and out are simple and convenient. All in all it was a peaceful and pleasant trip.
Book it! We absolutely loved our stay! The pool is what drew us in... and it did not disappoint! Pool toys, perfectly heated, stairs for young kids, shaded and sunny... again, perfect. Beds were comfortable, our girls, ages 5 and 7, loved the pull-out twins. The kitchen had everything we needed. We dined outside for every meal and really enjoyed being on the canal. John was available whenever we needed him. Great location!! Make sure you check out the burrowed owls up and down the block, they're beautiful!
