Quiet Nieghborhood, Nice Property and Location

Great location to explore Cape Coral, Fort Meyers and Beach, Matlacha, Sanibel and Captiva. Convenient to stores and for walking to several nice restaurants. Plenty of room in the house for family and/or friends. Any issues we had were quickly taken care of by the property manager.

Great Spring Break

This house was great for our family (two adults, three kids) spring break. It was not too far to get out to the gulf from the channel on the boat. We were also within walking distance of a couple of fun restaurants. The kids loved the pool. The fenced in yard made it easy to bring the dog. Overall a clean quiet place for a nice family vacation.

Perfect!

Huge fenced in yard that my dog loved! Beds were comfortable, even though they creaked when you got in them. Thankfully we are a tall bunch, we would have had issues getting into the high beds if we weren’t. Pool was nice and warm and about 5 foot deep in the deepest part. Many DoorDash options. I want that huge couch in the entry area, seriously the most comfortable couch I have ever sat on! My only complaint would be that there wasn’t spare toilet paper, paper towels, or beach towels. All were easily fixed though with a run to the store. We left two beach towels there to add to the supply. Fantastic location and as long as you know the lock code is for the actual door (not the old school key box on the wall) it is a smooth check in process :-) Would definitely stay in again, and truly do wish I knew the manufacturer of that huge couch….totally epic setup!

4 week stay

Walk to grocery store, several places to eat and have coffee, short drive to the beach. House a nice layout. Very nice neighborhood. The first problem that we encountered was that we were given the wrong code for entry. Took 45 minutes for this to be straightened out. Not a good way to start. The next problem was I walked out to look at the pool. Unfortunately, my left foot found a sliver of glass. The amount of long black dog hair by the pool was unpleasant. Had to clean that up instead of tracking it around. The shower handle in the second bathroom would not shut off the water. Had to call the property manager and had to shut off the hot water that night. Waited for plumber to come fix that in the morning.Then next thing that broke was the washing machine. Could not wash clothes and had to spend part of a Saturday morning at the laundry mat. Went 5 days without washing machine. Be careful of the desk/make up table in master bathroom. It wobbles so bad that it may fall over. The dishes are cracked and chipped. Property manager had new ones shipped No mixing bowl, I went to the dollar store to buy one along with food containers. Since we stayed for a month, I went to get the mop to clean the floors. The mop was so filthy that I had to clean it first before using. The mirror is broken on the closet door in one of the bedrooms, needs fixed. Light bulbs are burnt out or need 3-way bulbs. The pillows in the primary smell of body odor.

Beautiful House in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The pool was great, did have to be repaired a couple times during our stay but it didn't affect us having a good time. Location is great, short drive to beaches, and the restaurant/bar is within walking distance. Everything we needed for beach days was in garage and provided so we didn't need to purchase anything. Overall I highly recommend!!

Great family fun!

We had a great time. Some unmentioned features are, the covered and lighted patio. We really enjoyed playing cards in the evening. Also, the garage. It was super nice to bring the kids and beach toys into the garage and not have to drag it all through the house. We hardly ever go to the same place twice, but if we did, it would be this place!

My husband and daughter also enjoyed fishing at the dock. We’re already planning another stay as we have family in the area and visit Cape Coral often. Thanks for a great vacation spot!

Place needs a major cleaning!!

The house was in a great location however it was lacking a lot of things! There was only one washcloth and no pot holders in the entire house. Made for very creative ways of getting our food out of the oven. The whole house needs an extensive cleaning! Baseboards were filthy and it looked like none of the furniture was ever swept under. The only pieces of furniture that was nice were the beds. They were very comfortable! The rest of the furniture was worn and broken down. Sink in the one bathroom not attached to the bedroom leaked water ever time we used it. The pool and location is the only thing the house had going for it! The pool was a good size and had plenty of privacy from the neighbors.

Great location, great house!

My oldest son and I visited my younger son who lives in Cape Coral. House was clean, pool was great and location was outstanding! Couple of things... Baking dishes and flatware need to be replenished. I went looking for a dish to bake meatloaf and there was none. I had to borrow from my daughter in law. I was expecting some contact from Chris upon checking out. That did not happen so I hope we were adequate with our clean up! I checked my email and VRBO but I couldn’t find any communication. Hope I didn’t miss it! We had my two year old granddaughter visiting and she loved the pool. Overall we had a great time!!

Family vacation with pets

The location was fantastic! Close to restaurants, shops, and a great beach and pier in the neighborhood. The best part for our family was being able to take our puppies and allowing them so much room to roam and play outside in the fenced in yard. The kids loved the pool and the adults enjoyed just sitting outside enjoying the water view. It was relaxing, spacious and we had a wonderful time!
