Heated Saltwater Pool, Kayaks & Freshwater Canal Views | Relaxing SW Cape Coral Waterfront Retreat

Wake up to sunny waterfront mornings, spend your afternoons floating in the private heated saltwater pool, and end the day grilling dinner under the screened lanai as the palms sway overhead. Tucked along a freshwater canal in desirable SW Cape Coral, this relaxed 3-bedroom retreat was made for laid-back Southwest Florida vacations.



Bring your coffee down to the canal-front dock, launch one of the included kayaks right from the backyard, or simply settle into vacation mode poolside with a good book and warm Florida sunshine. With Gulf beaches, waterfront dining, shopping, golf, and downtown Fort Myers all within easy reach, this home is the perfect home base for your Southwest Florida getaway.



Inside, the bright and comfortable layout offers over 1,500 square feet of easy indoor-outdoor living with vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and sliding glass doors opening to the spacious screened lanai.

It is a beautiful home. It was immaculate, spacious and conveniently located. The property management company (Itrip) was very responsive to the small issues we encountered. The heated pool worked perfectly especially when our grandchildren visited. The backyard was picturesque and nice and quiet.

This home is a great location. There are plenty of nice Restaurants near by. Its only a short drive to Fort Myers. The house was exactly as advertised. The pool was clean and enjoyable. The house had a nice flow. It was just me and my husband but it would be very comfortable for 6 people. The bed in the master is high and I thought it would bother me but it didn't. I used the steps to get up into the bed. It was a comfortable bed with nice pillows.It had awesome shower with really soft towels.We sat outside by the canal everyday. We saw ducks, birds, turtles and fish and my favorite the tiny anole lizards.The neighborhood felt comfortable enough to take walks. We saw burrowing owls in the vacant lots. Overall we were vere happy with the house and location.

We had a great stay overall. The house was clean, well maintained, and had so many thoughtful amenities — beach chairs, a cooler, beach and pool toys, plus indoor games, which were perfect for our family. The host was also very responsive and quick to answer any questions.The backyard dock and paddle boat were a lot of fun, especially for fishing, and the lanai was great for keeping bugs out. The neighborhood was quiet and the location was very convenient and close to many attractions.A couple of minor notes for future guests: the outdoor back furniture could use some attention, and due to the position of the house, the sun only hit a small edge of the pool area where chairs didn’t fit. As someone who loves sitting in the sun by the pool, that was a bit disappointing. The pool heater also seemed to max out around 82 degrees during our stay, even after a couple of warm days. Our kids didn’t mind at all, but it was a little cool for us adults.Overall, this was a lovely home with great amenities, a responsive host, and a peaceful location. We would recommend it, especially for families.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re very happy to hear that your family had a great stay and enjoyed the cleanliness of the home, as well as the dock, paddle boat, and lanai—those really do make it a fun and relaxing spot, especially for families. We’re also glad our responsiveness helped make your stay smooth. We appreciate your feedback about the pools sun exposure and pool temperature. Unfortunately, we can't control the angle of the sun, but that changes throughout the year. Typically, a pool temperature of 82 degrees is quite comfortable for most guests; however, this month has been cooler than usual, which can make it more difficult for the heater to maintain a warmer temperature. We’re glad to hear the kids still enjoyed the pool and understand how important those details can be for adults looking to relax poolside. Thank you again for your review. We’d love to welcome you and your family back in the future and hopefully it will be a bit warmer next time!!

awesome house for our family vacation!

This was a wonderful house for our family vacation. The house is clean, well maintained and gorgeous! Plenty of room for us to relax indoors and out! The kids had the best time in the heated pool (the basketball hoop was a huge hit :) ). The adults loved the many seating options around the pool to enjoy a cocktail while watching the kids! Loved having the riverway option to do some kayaking and pedal boating! The location is great to get to restaurants, and shopping, we even rented a boat nearby to zip around on the ocean! You will love it!

Perfect for us and our visiting grandkids.

Stayed here the second week of August 2025. This home was as described and more. Nice pool, paddle boat and 2 kayaks to run the canals. Beach chairs for the hop to the beach. Great area with all the top stores all around, ABC, Aldi, and Publix just a few blocks away. Here are a couple of things that might not have been mentioned on the site. Hair dryers 2, extra garbage bags, plenty of towels, a hammock and a video player for the main TV but you need to plug it in. PS, Itrip folks where very responsive to a couple of things we couldn't find (cord for JBL speaker and garage door opener). Enjoyed our stay here and would come again. We are already planning another stay for a week around the treasure coast. Definitely using Itrip, they made our first experience with them easy.

Home Away from Home

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! The owners did an amazing job making sure everything is included and comfortable to make us feel right at home! The entire neighborhood was peaceful and quiet.Although we did spend a couple days exploring the surrounding area, we would’ve been just as happy staying right at the house. Our 4 kids (ages 15, 13, 11 and 7) loved the pool, the basketball hoop was a pleasant surprise for our 3 basketball players! They also loved spending time fishing on the canal. With 4 kids entertained my husband and I were actually able to sit back and relax as well!We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again if we ever get back to the Cape.

Nice but missing the little things…

The owner/service was very attentive to questions concerns. For instance the garage door opener did not work even after replacing the battery which they offered to come and look at which I declined. The reason I declined was due more to the fact that the garage was so full that you could not park in a manner to actually go into the house through the garage. The house was nice but for sure missing some little things like clocks in the bedroom and also a bit stingy on some things. The house sleeps 6 but if you wanted to watch a movie only a couch for 3. Bring your streaming information and note that the internet for streaming takes a few times, sometimes up to an hour to connect. If you want to eat inside only a table for 4. You are allotted 1 roll of paper towels and 2 rolls of TP. We were there for 11 nights. Pretty bare bones for the price. The master bedroom mattress is hard as a rock. 5 of the 12 nights the neighbors blasted the music and sang along with it so it was a bit disappointing not to be able to hold a conversation outside especially with a person who is hard of hearing. Typically when I have stayed at Vrbo's they will provide some extras, starter coffee packs and a booklet Luckily I knew the area but if you are new to Cape Coral this would be helpful. The garbage was completely full 3 days after garbage pickup so no one had taken it out.

We appreciate the opportunity to host you and your family Jackie. We strive to always address our guests concerns as they arise, and were more than happy to assist you during your stay. The living room does come furnished with a full size couch and a chair. There is also an additional love seat in the sitting room just outside the living room. These three options provide seating for up to six people. The cleaning fees associated with this home allot for one roll of paper towels and two rolls of toilet paper and is not based on how many nights you are staying. Any additional toiletries needed are the responsibility of the guests. This information can be found in your check in procedures. We are sorry to hear that the loud music played by neighbors impacted your stay. While we can't control the actions of those in the neighborhood, guests are always welcome to make a noise complaint with the city if the music continues past 11pm. We do recommend the iTrip app for our guests which acts as a digital booklet, similar to what you were looking for. Information on how to download and access the app can be found on the fridge typically. Thank you for staying with us. We wish you all the best and hope you will consider staying with us again in the future!
