Nice House But Has Problems

This house has some very positive features but, unfortunately, they were offset by some significant problems. First the positive: 1. It's a relatively new house with an impressive layout and design which is tastefully furnished. 2. The view of the lake is delightful. 3. The house is in an area of Cape Coral which is not "wall-to-wall" houses; but rather has a large amount of undeveloped land. However, the problems, at least for us. were significant. 1. For the first week we were there the water had a nauseating smell. Since we have rented other houses in Cape Coral we were not surprised by the awful smell. However, the other houses' water treatment systems eliminated the odor and any associated taste. We immediately contacted the owner who said she would take care of the problem. After waiting a week, during which we used bottled water for everything, we contacted the water treatment company and quickly arranged for the system to have the maintenance that had been neglected, which corrected the problem. 2. There is no outside keypad or garage door opener so the door can only be opened from inside. In the two months we rented the situation was not corrected. 3. The slider from the living room to the lanai has a broken lock so a wooden bar has to be placed in the door track to secure the door. The lock was not repaired during our stay. 4. Although there were five smoke detectors only two appeared to be functional; the other three were just empty shells. This is a fire safety concern. 5. There were many examples of deferred repairs including the microwave handle which was taped on, a doorknob (lever) which was hanging off, a section of bath partition which was crudely repaired and unpainted and a bedroom end table with no drawer pulls. 6. The large lanai umbrella, which provides the only shade, was damaged and unusable since when it was fully opened it was only 3.5 feet above the lanai surface. 7. At the end of our stay the terrible water smell returned since the water treatment system was again in need of maintenance. In our opinion the owner needs to resolve these problems in order to justify the booking rate. We advise prospective renters to ask if these problems have been corrected. It was clear to us that the owner needs a local property manager. One final comment; since the owner does not live in the US a 3% foreign transaction fee is charged to all credit card payments as well as the security deposit refund. That cost us an extra $200.

Family spring break

We arrived at the property and was easily able to get into the home. When we walked in the house we could clearly tell it had not been cleaned. I immediately called Cindy and got in touch with her and explained what we were seeing and that you could clearly tell the house had not been cleaned after the other guests. She felt horrible and wanted to work with us to be able to stay there. I did have to do some cleaning and laundry the first night we were there but she immediately got on the phone and got in touch with the cleaners. She had switched companies and this was the companies first time cleaning and they did not show up. She was able to get the cleaners to show up on Wednesday (we got to the house on Monday). We had to pack up all of our stuff and put it in the car and we went out for the first half of the day. When we got back to the house you could smell that it was cleaned the minute we walked in. Cindy offered a refund for what had happened and made sure I had it the next day. The weather was beautiful but not warm enough to make the pool warm, it was kind of cold but my kids enjoyed it anyways.

Great Spring Break

The property manager is amazing. She always got back to us in a timely manner and always made us feel welcome to reach out with whatever. The only complaint is that the cleaners did not do their job before us getting there, but I let the manager knew and she made things right. Otherwise my friends and I had a very relaxing and great spring break in this home! Would definitely come back! Thank you, Cindy!

Location: Google Map

The address on VRBO is correct, but I could NEVER find it using Google Maps. The property manager did not mention a problem until I arrived at 530pm on Saturday and immediately realized Google Maps was taking me to a house that did not match the description. After calling the agent/owner she said "...other people had the same problem." She gave me new directions which also did not take me to the correct property. After an hour when it was dark making it difficult to see addresses especially in unfamiliar city she talked me turn by turn until I arrived at the correct home. Make it simple. Use the VA OPC on Diplomat Pkwy as the starting point and navigate from that reference point. (The property address Never came up correctly on Google Maps the entire week.)

Beautiful home away from home. Enjoyed every minute.

With the exception of a few very minor problems, we really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful rental home, It was close enough to everything we set out to do or see during our stay here. We would highly recommend this vacation rental for anyone who just wants some great rest and relaxation. We will definately rent this property again in the very near future.

Not a clean house

I don’t usually write negative reviews but this time I have to! We stayed here for a long weekend (3 nights) and I agree with the previous review, when she mentions that the house was not rental ready. The owner was very responsive when making the reservation and provided all the details to get to the house. However, when we got there, the house was NOT CLEAN! All toilets had urine (and #2) stains, there was dental floss in one of the bathrooms and toothpaste stains on both sinks. Regarding the kitchen, the refrigerator was not clean, there were some dishes on the counter (don’t know if clean or not). The tableware is plastic or melamine. There was some clothe on the dryer, again not sure if clean or not. As soon as we saw the condition of the house, I sent an email to the owner with some pictures, mainly from the toilets that were disgusting, there was NO response at all. Not even an apology for the inconvenience! We were already there after a long drive, so we had to buy lot of Clorox and disinfecting wipes, gloves, disposable utensils, plates and cups. Towels and sheets, since we were not sure if they were clean ( thank goodness there is Walmart close by). If you plan to rent this house, come prepared to clean it yourself and on top of that to get charged a very high cleaning fee!!.

Not a good fit for our family

Sorry, but this was not a good fit. We had talked to the owner of this property (who lives in Canada) several times before we committed, and she did a good job on selling it. This property is getting premium price, but fell very short of the expectations. We have rented in SW Florida for 15 years and this experience has not been a positive due to the many inconveniences and items in need of repair. I had taken photos of everything upon arrival to ensure my damage deposit would be reimbursed at the end of our contract. There is no pool heater…. The master shower was not useable when we arrived Both bathrooms had toilets that ran constantly. (My husband fixed both the shower and toilets.) There are no dressers in any of the bedrooms and it is difficult to live out of a suitcase for a month. One of the bedrooms did not even have a clothes pole to hang clothes on. The second bathroom is not caulked properly and water is going behind the wall – mold. The kitchen was not renter ready. Food from previous renters completely filled the cupboards and pantry. Not all windows had blinds on them and the ones that did, were broken. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes. The handle on the microwave had to be taped to stay on. The washing machine had mold in it. The Screen doors on the pool lanai have no locks. The patio outside the lanai is in total disrepair. The kitchen lacks pizza cutter, can opener, storage containers, etc. Damage to doors and walls that have not been repaired. Location… to far away from the beaches. I could go on and on. This property needs an on site manager. Phone calls to and from Canada to get problems resolved were not adequate.

Beautiful private home!!

We enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is in a decent location- not far from beaches, shopping, and many other fun excursions. The house was roomy, clean, and most of all private and at the right price.

Very clean and spacious

The house is just as shown in the picture and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only downside is the distance from the beach, the closest beach is 30 minutes away and the purpose of our trip was to go to a beach house or at least have a really close beach, our fault for not researching enough.

We loved our stay in this home!

It was a beautiful spacious home that was clean and well maintained. There was a broken screen in the pool cage upon our arrival and the owners had it fixed right away. We would love to stay in this house every time we come to florida.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Howarth

Host profile image
I purchased this home in 2009 and spent thousands of dollars to upgrade this beautiful home located on a quiet private street in North East Cape Coral. I love this home and wish to share the experience with other families while I'm not there. I have an emotional connection to this home as my family and I have travel from Canada to this spectacular home many times over the years.. The views are incredible and the privacy amazing. Theres just something special when you walk in the door into a large inviting space and look right through to the lake. The mornings sitting having coffee or the stunning sunsets having a glass of wine. Memories of sandy beaches, restaurants, cycling and golf make it a famous place to visit. So many options, Sanibel/Captiva Island, Englewood (shark tooth beach), Pine Island (fishing) or Fort Myers Beach Island for trendy atmosphere. Shopping is incredible at the Miramar Outlet. Restaurants like Rumrunners, Twisted Lobster, Italian and Cuban/Mexican!!! Spend your anniversary, wedding ceremony or family gathering in the Lake House!!

Why they chose this property

This is a very private large home located on Garden Lake in North Cape Coral. Very close to shopping and restaurants but far enough away from tourist areas to allow for intimate and quiet times. Three beaches, Cape Coral, Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach. I-75 is minutes away to hop on the interstate and explore Florida. Fishing is 20 minutes to Pine Island. Two airports available, RSW Fort Myers and Punta Gorda.
Four large bedrooms with open concept allows for entertaining and function. Very cozy and comfortable.

What makes this property unique

The view of the Lake with incredible Sunsets and morning sunrises.
