About the host
Hosted by Claire & Mike Magee
Hello, we're Mike & Claire Magee, and we're originally from Oregon. We purchased My Happy Place so that we would have a place to live while we built our new home in Cape Coral. We really love this home and decided to keep it to use as a vacation rental and place for our own family and friends to visit.
Why they chose this property
We were looking for a place that could provide peace and relaxation. We chose our neighborhood because it is quiet, yet still close to amenities like shops and restaurants. This home had been well cared for by the previous owners and we really loved the floor plan and size. We loved the warm feeling that we got from the south-facing lanai and southern exposure of the living areas and master bedroom.
We decided that it would be more enjoyable for us and would make a better vacation rental if we added a pool, which we did in 2023. We loved the house before the pool, but I have to admit that we love it even more WITH the pool!
Our neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are nice. We are located on a residential street, not a through street. We found the neighborhood to be quiet and safe.
What makes this property unique
Our home is unique because it's not just a rental, its a home. We lived in it ourselves and have tried to make sure the home is well-equipped for an enjoyable stay. Walk in the door and you will feel like you want to stay! Our friends, family and other guests have told us how much they have enjoyed the space and location, which means a lot to us.
The home is light and bright and feels warm and comfortable with casual decor. The floor plan offers areas for togetherness as well as privacy. The pool area is like it's own outdoor room. The southern exposure maximizes the sun exposure to the deck and pool and the under-truss lanai provides lovely shade.
Though we are situated in a neighborhood, our property feels private and quiet and is a wonderful place to relax and unwind.
