Vacation

We rented the house for family to stay at for a birthday party near by. The house is clean and furnished. The only real issue we had was, we had to keep calling to get the temperature of the hot tub turned up, which was a pain as it should have been kept at a comfortable temperature, without having to call when we wanted to use it. As we paid full price for use of all the ammenities.

Gator in the Canal

This is the second time we have stayed in Cape Coral. This property is in a much better location. Quiet, low traffic , friendly neighbors, great location The no shock pool ( 86 deg ) was wonderful. Heat pump heater far superior to our last places solar heater. The Gator in the canal was fun to watch up close. Be sure to try the German bakery on Del Prado ( Bread Pete ) Fantastic !!

The house is on a quiet street. Lots of privacy. Few neighbors around the week we were there.

Keith was very attentive with things we needed like heating spa remotely. House was clean and quiet. He also gave us a couple of dining recommendations that worked out great. We had a great week. Thank you

Great month

We had a great month in Cape Coral. The owners of this place were very accommodating. The house is nice, and served our needs perfectly. It is in a quiet neighborhood made up of working people and retirees. If you are a boater you can even bring your boat because there is a lift and access to the gulf.

Outstanding property and outstanding owners!

I have stayed at many properties through HomeAway and I have never met more helpful owners than Keith and Melissa. Any question we had they answered and they were some of the kindest people we have ever encountered in our vacation stays. The home, pool area and dock are wonderful and well maintained. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the Cape Coral area. Thank you, Keith and Melissa, for making our winter vacation so wonderful! -Michelle Cooper

Very Nice Home

This is a very nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Neighbors are friendly and quiet. There is very little traffic and it is a safe area to walk or run. Great location, easy access to both Punta Gorda and Ft Myers airports. It is also close to both the southern cape and down town Ft Myers. It is close to restaurants of all price ranges and styles. 30 minutes from Ft Myers beach and Sanibel. I am going to miss sitting in the hot tub every night under the stars.

The perfect home for water lovers!

Keith and Melissa were fantastic hosts! The house is very clean and the perfect location. The is a boat lovers dream. Boat ramp is just a mile or so away, easy access from the canal to open water. The pool & hot tub was heated for us during our Christmas getaway. Excellent restaurants in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on coming back! Thanks again!!

Cape Coral Home with Pool

We enjoyed our stay at Keith's home in Cape Coral. We were there February and March of 2012. Nice neighborhood and very convenient to shopping and dining. Keith and Melissa were very helpful if we needed anything, but we didn't need help very often because everything in the house was in good working condition. The pool was great!
