About this property

Heated Saltwater Pool • Hot Tub • 4BR/3BA • Gulf Access + Boat Lift • CLEAN HOME

Welcome to Florida Retreat – Your Sunshine-Fueled Slice of Paradise!

Pack your flip-flops and sunglasses—your dream getaway starts right here! Florida Retreat is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath tropical haven that sleeps up to 10 lucky guests. With a heated saltwater pool, bubbling hot tub, direct sailboat access to the Gulf, and a private dock with boat lift, this is the kind of place that makes you want to stay forever.

Our Story (aka Why We’re Obsessed With This Place):
Twenty years ago, we made the best decision of our lives—moving to Cape Coral. Between the sunshine, salty breezes, and boat-to-the-beach lifestyle, we were hooked. Now we’re opening up our happy place to other adventure-seeking, hammock-loving families who want a taste of Florida magic. Mornings here are for soaking in the hot tub with coffee in hand. Afternoons? Boating to Sanibel or making waves with the kids in the pool. Nights? Lanai lounging, drinks in hand, stars overhead.

What’s Inside – and Outside – the Dream:
- 2 Luxe King Suites with private bathrooms for maximum pampering
- 1 Queen Bedroom and 1 Double Queen Bedroom – because nobody wants bunk beds on vacation
- 3 Full Bathrooms, including one with direct pool deck access (hello, convenient!)

The vibe is open, airy, and designed for FUN. The living and dining spaces flow right into the showstopper: the lanai. This screened-in outdoor haven features:
- An 8-person dining table for epic family meals
- A comfy lounge with a big-screen TV for movie nights, game days, or evening chill sessions
- A drink station with a mini fridge and ice machine—so the good times stay cool

Awesome Extras That Make Your Stay Effortless:
- WiFi that actually works (yes, even poolside)
- Smart TVs in every room
- A fully loaded kitchen with everything from spices to spatulas
- Tons of towels (yes, even beach ones!)
- Starter paper goods to get you going (3 rolls TP per bathroom)

Dock Life = Best Life:
Want to level up your vacay? Book a boat through our trusted partners and have it delivered right to your private dock. Cruise the canals, fish off the deck, or set out for a salty sea adventure to Captiva, Sanibel, or Fort Myers Beach. It’s all within an hour of your dockside launch.

A Few Friendly Guidelines:
- Guests must be 24+
- No pets, sorry fur babies!
- No smoking anywhere in the home or lanai
- Garage and locked areas are reserved for owner use
- Keep it clean—extra cleaning fees apply for party-level messes (yes, we take pics)
- Ask about FREE early check-in or late checkout—we love to spoil our guests!

If you’re looking for a place where pool floats, boat days, beach trips, and belly laughs come standard—you’ve found it. We can't wait to host you at Florida Retreat and help you create unforgettable memories!

See you in the sun!

Thank you,
Dean and Ellen

Absolutely great!

Cannot say enough about how perfect this home is. We were a large group that included adults, kids, and 2 1-year olds. This home worked great for our needs. It was a quick ride into the gulf on our boat. Quick response from Dean when I had a question. Would definitely stay here again or refer someone to stay here.

Great house for a small group

Check in was easy they let us arrive early which was very nice. Everything was updated and clean and plenty of room for the five of us. We only had one issue with the door alarms when it came off the door at 4am and started going off. The pool and hot tub were beautiful and finally figured out the heater in the spa cause the breaker had tripped. All around awesome stay and would stay again..

Beautiful and well appointed home

This is by far the nicest vacation home we have ever rented. It is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood and appears to be recently renovated inside and out. It was a perfect fit for our families. The outside living space is well thought out. We found it so relaxing. The dock is great and accommodated our waverunners. We loved the pool and hot tub. The kitchen was well appointed as was the entire house. Such a wonderful vacation!

Family of 7 Vacation

The house is exactly as it appears in the photos. The star of this house for my family of 7 (5 kids and 2 parents) was the outside area where we enjoyed the pool, dining table, bar, and lounge area all evenings of our trip. I had a couple of questions for the host who responded instantly. A bonus on this listing are the beach and pool supplies collected in deck boxes (as of our trip, the beach supplies include a collapsible wagon, 7 chairs, 2 umbrellas, an umbrella stake, and a cooler).

Complete Luxury

This property has it all. There was nothing missing here. Everything you need to enjoy a quiet relaxing time with family. My family of 8 adults enjoyed this spacious house for a week. We were able to space out yet come together when we wanted to. The pool area was complete luxury and where we spent a majority of our time. The beds slept very good too! No one in the group had any complaints. Completely updated home and gorgeous. The neighborhood is quiet too. Mr. Rossey was prompt with all questions and very nice to talk to. Would definitely recommend this place! We didn't want to leave.

We travel often as 3 couples and this house provided an excellent experience. All bedrooms are far enough apart for privacy, have their own tv and bathroom, perfect! The very large heated pool and large heated hot tub were wonderful and relaxing. This house has a huge lanai compete with comfortable furniture and tv.

About the host

Hosted by Dean Rossey Jr

Host profile image
Born and raised in the snowy heart of Wisconsin, we traded snow boots for flip-flops when we moved to Florida as a young couple—and we’ve never looked back! The sunshine, the salt air, the easygoing vibe… we were hooked. Now with three awesome kids in tow, our Florida home has become our favorite family playground.

But we’re not just sunshine seekers—we still chase winter thrills in our Upper Michigan vacation homes, where we hit the slopes and snowmobile trails any chance we get.

Our love for travel, adventure, and family fun is what drives everything we do. We’ve created vacation rentals that aren’t just places to stay—they’re places to be together. Think sparkling clean spaces, fun-filled days, and cozy nights that turn into lifelong memories.

Whether you’re here for sun or snow, we can’t wait to share our favorite places with you. Let’s make some magic together!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this neighborhood for its unbeatable location and natural charm. Nestled in one of the most peaceful pockets of Cape Coral, it offers the perfect balance between serene relaxation and easy access to everything the area has to offer.

Surrounded by lush landscapes and quiet streets, it’s a true sanctuary for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle. But when you’re ready for a little excitement, you’re just minutes away from vibrant downtown Cape Coral and Fort Myers—ideal for evenings out, shopping, or catching live music.

From fresh-caught seafood at local restaurants to unique boutiques and cozy cafés, everything you need is just around the corner. It’s the best of both worlds, and we’re so happy to share it with you!

What makes this property unique

Our freshly remodeled home isn’t just a place to stay—it’s your vacation sanctuary! Every inch was reimagined with relaxation, fun, and coastal vibes in mind. From sun-soaked pool days to cozy evenings in the hot tub, comfort meets style in every corner.

Ready for an adventure? Hop on a boat from your private dock and in just 40 breezy minutes you’ll be basking on the white sands of Sanibel or Fort Myers Beach. Sun, sea, and serious chill time—it’s all waiting for you!
