About this property

Welcome to the gorgeously decorated Cape Harbour Retreat. This property is professionally cleaned by a Professional Cleaning Service that ensures extra precautions taken to sanitize the property between all rentals. The Cape Harbour Retreat is located in the highly desirable Cape Harbor neighborhood of SW Cape Coral. Just mere minutes to the Cape Harbor restaurants such as Rum Runner and Fathoms, the area is extremely quiet and perfect for relaxation. There is even a Publix Supermarket and Walgreens within walking distance. The house itself was decorated by a renowned artist and his wife and this definitely comes out in the flair of the home. The walls are filled with beautiful original paintings and the atmosphere of the house is inviting and warm. The pool area features an abundance of space to lounge, lots of sun exposure and lounge chairs to relax or fire up the grill for a romantic evening dinner. The villa is truly an exemplification of the Florida lifestyle and not to be missed by anyone. This property is only 1 mile from boat rentals that can be delivered to your backyard dock. Easily access the Gulf in minutes and enjoy some of the best fishing in SW Florida, or take a trip to Sanibel, North Captiva, Pine Island or Ft. Myers Beach in less than an hour travel by boat. Best of all see dolphins and Manatees on your trip. Everything you need is here to enjoy a wonderful SW Florida Adventure.
Our Reviews tell the story. Please see the latest review from our Guest:
Beautiful home in a great area. Your dream vacation starts here.
From the moment you open the front door you are greeted with a gorgeous view right through a wall of sliding glass to the screened in pool with a lovely dock and canal at the rear. Open concept living room dining and kitchen lets everyone enjoy the property. One side of the house contains a very large master suite and the other side has two bedrooms and another bathroom with shower. The highlight is the lanai with all day sun on the pool or shaded areas for dining and a lovely area with comfortable seating and a coffee table. Day or night, the lanai is the place to be. The pool was crystal clear and gorgeous. Located on a quiet street but not far from groceries, restaurants and any other amenities you might need. The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances (the ice maker in the fridge is a hero). On the deck you have a great propane grill. Instructions were complete and clear. Wifi was solid. Owners were very responsive to inquiries, we never waited longer than a couple of minutes to hear back. An incredible value for a lovely stay. We were left wanting nothing. It is everything we wanted in our Florida dream home.

Blown away!

Weve rented quite a few times in florida now, first time in cape coral. We was blown away by this house! It lived up to all our expectations and more. Location was perfect was near everytjing you needed. It seemed nothing was more than 15mins away. Never stayed in a house that was so well equipped! Will 100% be back

Fabulous home from home Villa

This property was wonderful , lovely furnishings, very comfortable and everything you need to make your stay perfect. The pool was larger than it looks in the photo's and a great temperature. The outdoor furniture was great and we spent a lot of time in the evenings sitting outside. The beds were very comfortable and had plenty of storage space with ceiling fans above the beds. The cleanliness of the villa was exceptional as was the outdoor space. Patti the owner was always very prompt at answering any questions we had and very helpful which was very much appreciated. There was a nice bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival which was a nice gesture. If we ever return to this area again we would definitely return to this property .

Karsten und Susanne aus Berlin

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt in diesem traumhaften Haus! Die Ausstattung ist modern und stilvoll, alles war sauber und bestens gepflegt. Besonders begeistert waren wir vom großzügigen Poolbereich, der perfekt zum Entspannen einlädt. Morgens mit einem Kaffee auf der Terrasse zu sitzen und den Blick über den Pool zu genießen, war einfach herrlich. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, was das Kochen zum Vergnügen machte. Auch die Lage des Hauses war für uns ideal – ruhig und dennoch nicht weit entfernt von Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, was unseren Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht hat. Wir können dieses Haus uneingeschränkt empfehlen und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch! Liebe Grüße Karsten und Susanne

The accommodation is very nicely furnished, very clean and well maintained. The equipment is complete, so that everything you need is available. The contact with the owner was very friendly and uncomplicated. The location is very good, the nearest Publix supermarket is in the immediate vicinity. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

Wonderful stay

My kids and I had a wonderful stay. Overall the space was fantastic. The pool and lanai area were a great place to hang out. Inside, the living room was very comfortable, nice big kitchen with everything you need, and the bedrooms and bathrooms had clean sheets and plenty of towels. It was nice to have some extras included like fishing rods and coolers. The neighborhood is quiet and close to Publix and many restaurants. I travel a lot and this was one of the nicer places I have stayed in.

Plenty of linens and space for our family. Close to restaurants and Cape Harbor shopping. Beautifully decorated with an ocean/beach theme.

Very nice, great neighborhood, and CLEAN!

Easy process for renting. Owner takes pride in property, and the cleaners do a terrific job! Pool immaculate and lanai very relaxing. Living in FL and having a pool of our own, we understood the rules of the pool. Publix 3 mins away. Aldi 20 mins away. Fresh Market 25 mins away. Sanibel, including stop for coffee, 25 mins away. Starbuck and DD, 12 mins away. Had a couple of small things which were taken care of thru communications. Mainly where is this, or where is that. Will say though all the knives need to be sharpened (they had a nice knife set with a honer but no sharpener). It's a small thing, but makes a difference when needing one. We stayed the week before hurricane Ian. Hope this property survived, and would definitely ately stay there again!

A week of solitude and privacy

The house is lovely and very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped and modern. Fabulous appliances. The pool was awesome and the primary reason we booked this property. It was great having a garage to pull our car into, especially on those rainy afternoons common to South Florida this time of year. Very well equipped with towels, beach things, coolers, bikes, etc. Beds were very comfortable. Bedding was good quality. There were no negatives other than it was a little off putting in terms of not feeling very welcomed into the home as “our home” for the week. There are signs in every room of the house saying “wipe down the shower, use a coaster on this table, you will lose your security deposit if you do/don’t do this or that.” I think that’s very likely because there are many people out there who do not take care of things and abuse the property of others, so I get it. But it did make us feel uncomfortable in the home. We are an empty nester couple with a great VRBO track record. My guidance to the property manager would be to consider who is going to be staying in the property and then decide how much of that is necessary. In our case, 90% of that was not necessary and did make us feel a bit unwanted in the home.

Perfect Vacation Getaway

The house and pool were absolutely fantastic. Perfect location. Very quiet street. Close to a grocery store and other amenities. Everything was as described. So very relaxing sitting on the lanai with a view of the pool and the canal. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the sunsets and amazing storms that happened a couple of nights during our stay. The owner communication was excellent. We were on our way out the one day and we had a glitch with the front door lock. We texted Patti and she immediately had the property manager come over to fix it. By the time we came home that afternoon all had been taken care of. We would not hesitate in recommending this property. Hope to be back soon!!
