Clean, spacious, good communication...exactly as described. The best part was the pool area. The space is large. The pool itself is also bigger than many and has a deep end. The pool and spa heat actually worked, which isn't always the case. The wide view of the channel is gorgeous. The neighborhood is ok. We like to go for walks in the mornings and there is no sidewalk, or really anything to look at or explore, except for the many burrowing owls in the yards! That was cool to see.This was a perfect spot for our family of 4. We would consider staying again if in the area!

Cape Coral Vacation

Our stay in Cape Coral was wonderful. April, the owner of the home, was very welcoming and helpful. She provided information on the area which helped us make plans for our week. The home is located in an area where it is easy to make day trips to the local beaches and state parks in the area.

Wonderful stay!

We stayed for 6 weeks and this wonderful home and could have stayed longer if time permitted. Such a warm and comfortable home that suited all of our needs. The best was the outdoor space overlooking the canal which was so relaxing. Our hosts April and Rick were amazing people and took care of all of our needs!! Hope to be back next year!

I booked this place based on the great reviews and I was not disappointed. The home was beautiful with fantastic views of the water. We loved the heated pool and spa. April (the property owner) goes above and beyond to make sure you have a fantastic stay. I would absolutely recommend this property to anyone!

This rental checks all the boxes, location, comfort, cleanliness, excellent hosts. The location is perfect for boating, relaxing by the pool or by the canal, the home is so comfortable inside and out, it's immaculately clean, and the hosts couldn't be more accomodating.

Fun and relaxing

We had a wonderful time in this house for Thanksgiving week. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the pool area, jacuzzi, and water view. We were able to dock our boat rental in the back. The owners were very friendly and helpful. We cooked in the kitchen and on the grill. It was a great experience and we would love to come back.

HALCYON

Extremely happy, peaceful, and Picturesque. The definition of halcyon and how my husband and I felt staying here for most of January, February, and March. I’m hating writing this review because I know as soon as the secret is out more will want it. LOL I haveve to write it though for April and Rick...the owners we met who were so gracious and accommodating. We loved them both. The house is in a great location, close to restaurants, parks, shopping, and beaches but still you feel you are on your own oasis with a wonderful water view. It is equipped with everything you would want for your time away from home. April is next door attending to anything that you might have an issue with but never making you feel she is in your space. We loved her! Bottom line, it’s a great place and I’d give it 10 stars if I could. I personally highly recommend it.

Wonderful house

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property and the host, the pictures don't do the home justice. The house is immaculate and the pool overlooking the canal is beautiful. It's so serene first thing in the morning watching the manatees swim by and in the evening watching the sun set. When we weren't out and about my family spent the majority of the time on the lanai, which honestly if you never left the house would still be the perfect place to spend the week. We look forward to going back!

Spring break

We chose this place because of all the great reviews and they are all spot on! The house is wonderful, very clean, roomy, and it accommodated all our wants and needs. The pool and view are exceptional! The host, April, is terrific. She was so kind to us n our kids and even shared their side of the dock as my son ran back n forth to fish the canal. We couldn’t be happier, worth every penny.

WOW! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a beautiful, spotless home, well stocked, Amazing Hosts and so many great amenities. April always responded immediately to any questions, which meant a lot. She checked on us regularly to make sure all was good. We loved relaxing in the wonderful spa or pool or just sitting on the Lanai, enjoying the Awesome view and boats going by. Great restaurants, shops, Fort Meyer Beach, Sanibel and Captiva Islands so close. Her list of sights to see, and restaurants was truly appreciated and used! Wonderful friendly, quiet neighborhood . Need I say more! No need to second guess renting this gorgeous home. Roger and I feel Thankful, Grateful and Truly Blessed to have had their home, for our home, away from home! We Thank April and Keith for being such caring, wonderful hosts and making us feel so comfortable. We feel we made new friends and will Definitely be back next year to escape the snow and cold for a couple of months. We wish you both many Blessings awaiting! 🙏🤗

Could not have been better!

Cannot thank our host April more for the wonderful vacation we had in this beautiful home and community! We had never been to the area and she ensured we had an amazing time on this property and around town. We loved that we could bring our jet skis and dock them in the backyard canal. Special thanks April for rescuing us at the boat launch during a summer storm when Uber failed us! Also have to note the pool and patio with beautiful views helped complete our wonderful experience. We highly recommend April, her hospitality, this property and this area!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Sip your morning coffee while sitting on the huge lanai overlooking the pool and hot tub and watch the manatees and dolphins swim by and tons of boat traffic on the wide open Rubicon Canal. This is just an amazing gorgeous spot. Lots of wildlife. This is a very unique and special place.

What makes this property unique

Huge lanai, with brand new porcelain tiles, very large pristine pool and hot tub which is solar heated as well as electric heated with a brand new 2020 pool heater; extra large picture screen opening, bathroom located on lanai so you don't have to travel back into the house with wet bathing suit; speakers outside and inside the house so you can play your favorite tunes; manatees, dolphins, and tons of boat traffic on a wide-open view of the Rubicon.
