Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. April was very responsive to all requests and inquires before and throughout our stay. The house was well maintained and perfect for our stay. As advertised, the only way upstairs is via the spiral staircase which can be tricky with large bags - just plan accordingly.

We loved our stay in April’s place and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. It is spacious, sparkling clean, well equipped and the outside space is delightful. We were a family of 6 adults and an infant and there was ample room for family time and private time. April was fantastic to work with. Very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again if we are back in Cape Coral

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a great review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed Cape Serenity, and we hope you come again soon:)
Cape Serenity was perfect for our family of 6 Adults. The home is definitely set up for outdoor living with the pool and lounge area. It was a tranquil setting in a quiet neighborhood.
The kitchen was well equipped with what we needed. The home was clean and very comfortable.
If our travel plans bring us back to the Cape, we would enjoy booking this home again.

About the host
Hosted by April Woodburn
Our dream was to purchase a second home that we could escape the cold weather, in the winter months of Maryland, so we could boat year round. We looked all over the east coast and Florida before we settled on this home in Cape Coral, it was absolutely perfect for us! Having 4 children and busy careers meant that we can't come for long periods of time, so we decided to share our dream home with others who want to vacation. This is our first vacation rental home but we are loving the experience. We hope you love our house as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We love this location because of the easy access to so many activities: golf, boating, fishing, beaches. We love our neighbors in this quiet, safe community. They watch the house and keep in contact with us when we are back in Maryland. Sanibel Island is so great for shelling. No one comes home empty handed. Fort Myers beach is a wonderful place to lunch while watching the ocean. There are so many activities available in the area that no one is ever bored. We enjoy just lounging on the lanai and watching the fish jump in the canal. Very relaxing!
What makes this property unique
Having river & canal views in a spacious home with a extra large lanai. This home is breath taking and so relaxing with plenty of room to spread out. Being close to the Memorial bridge it is conveniently close to everything however the neighborhood has no through traffic so it creates a quiet and tranquil atmosphere.
