I would highly recommend this rental property to others. We will be staying here whenever we can on future visits to Cape Coral. Mary Ann and Dan are great people and were great to work with. The location is great also. The Island Cove grounds and common areas are very well maintained. We were within walking distance of shopping areas one way and the nature preserve the other way. Take your pick if you're into walking. If you'd rather relax, sitting in the lanai or outside along the canal facing the eco preserve is wonderful for sunrises, sunsets, or any other time. The fish sure like jumping out of the water a lot here. None of them jumped into the kayak though. The 2 person kayak that is available with the unit was great to have. Paddles are provided, I had my own life preserver. It is a very stable 'sit on' kayak. It takes about 1/2 hour of kayaking through the canals to get to the Caloosahatchi River and the entrance to the Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, a very nice place to paddle around amongst the mangroves. This community pool area is very nice. Our unit was the closest one to the pool so it's very convenient, but it's far enough away that you don't get any 'pool noise' at our unit. The pool is used a lot so you get to meet a lot of other people. There are always lounge chairs available, including enough in an area with shade if you prefer that. An occasional dolphin and manatee are also seen swimming by in the canal outside the pool. The grills for cooking are outside of the pool area in a well lit area convenient for cooking after dark if needed. They are very clean also. Everything we needed was in the condo for indoor or outdoor cooking. The inside of the condo was exceptional. Very clean, well decorated, and comfortable. Internet access was very good and I liked having the printer when needed for the 'work' that must still get done while on vacation. There are plenty of golf courses with 15 minutes. Lumpys, on Cleveland Ave, in Fort Myers has a great brochure listing all of the area golf courses. I'd recommend Magnolia Landing if you like a challenge on a very picturesque course. The other public courses in the area I always like getting to are Coral Oaks and Palmetto Pines.
