Spacious & welcoming

The perfect house for our family get away! Such a cute neighborhood and close to our family who lives in the area. The pool was fabulous and we loved the TVs in each bedroom. Kitchen had just about everything we needed 🤗 Beds were super comfortable and linens were crisp and clean. Plenty of towels for pool and bathrooms. Definitely would stay in the future.

Golden Girls Adventure

The location of this house was great. It was a (relatively) short commute to a few of the popular beach attractions as well as shopping centers. We would definitely stay in Cape Coral area again. The house itself has a great kitchen area. The living room furniture could use a shampooing or be replaced. The beds were ok, possibly outdated as well. It is not disclosed that there are tenants that live on the property - they weren't bad neighbors- it was just weird? Generally, a nice, quiet neighborhood. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the host was accomodating to our requested early check in.

Perfect Stay!

Upon arrival the house was very cute & located near a lot of things in Cape Coral! Very quiet and clean neighborhood. The inside of the home was spotless and decorated very nicely. We loved the master shower/tub for relaxing after a day at the beach. The double vanity and storage throughout the whole master suite both in the bathroom and in the bedroom armoires is so nice to have so you feel settled in. There was plenty of closet room for all of our clothing and luggage in every bedroom! The kitchen is updated and has everything you could need. The pool is fabulous & there is a big storage chest full of any pool toys you need. We absolutely loved our stay and will be checking availability every time we return to Cape Coral!

Interesting Property

Overall acceptable. Best house in the neighborhood. Very nice neighbors on walks. Did not realize part of house was occupied- their voices carry through the walls and made sleeping difficult. Found bugs (not ones you want to find), but it’s Florida after a hurricane. Otherwise it worked for golf trip!

NICE POOL AND HOME

Check in and out process was extremely easy. The house was very clean, any issues Gary took care of. The pool was clean and big. The rooms were a good size. I loved the master bathroom. The living room couches was soft and plush. The kitchen was a little small but there is two dining areas. The pool area was clean with new floors. The neighborhood is quite and clean. The only cons was the grill was too small, the master room mattress needs to be replaced, and the house has a apartment connected on the other side of the home and in one of the rooms the window is blocked because it is the apartments porch, also you can hear the TV and people talk from the room. The backyard is partially shared the apartment gets the jacuzzi and this home gets the pool. The only thing separating the two is a tinted curtain a small hole fence that only stops by the door and a plastic chain so they won't come over to the pool area. Some of the light switches don't work in the home and the ones that do work needs to be labeled. The home needs a little work but it was a overall good stay.

Wonderful week in Cape Coral Paradise Retreat

We had a wonderful time in Cape Coral. The house was exactly as listed and even had some bonus items (keurig and Kcups, pool toys and beach chairs to take to the beach). The set up of the house worked well for us with kids on one side and the master bedroom on the other side of the house. The pool was warm and refreshing to jump into after a day of exploring. The location was great for us, only about a 20 minute drive to Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel island and lots of local food choices nearby. We would definitely recommend staying here and would again if we are ever in the Cape Coral Area!

This is a very nice house in a good location close to restaurants and stores on the Cape Coral Parkway. It is clean, spacious, nicely decorated, and has all of the content that one would expect. The pool area and outdoor patio are especially nice. Pictures in the listing accurately depict the property. Gary was very responsible to any of our communications and questions. We would stay here again.

Super impressed with this family friend vacation destination. We didn't have great weather (very rare in this area) but obviously that wasn't a negative for the owner. We loved the location, pool and being able to make meals in the kitchen and say money on eating out!

The house, pool and all other accommodations exceeded our expectations and profile on VRBO.

The owners of the home were exceptionally responsive to all questions and minor requests - such as pool features, recommended places to eat and visit. This home and it’s owners truly proved to be a four star experience for both of us, who have traveled frequently and stayed and top tier resorts and hotels for both business and pleasure. If you are looking for a great work, play extended stay destination in SW FLA in an upscale clean setting, this home is a great pick. Very quite safe and clean neighborhood location but centrally positioned and convenient to all parts of SW Florida. Highly recommended.

Family Vacation

Overall the place is great. We loved the fact that the master bedroom is on the opposite side of the house. The flow of the house was perfect for us. The location is perfect. It is close to many great adventures. The pool area was also really nice. We enjoyed relaxing and unwinding outside by the pool after a long day at the beach. There were a couple of chairs we could bring to the beach which was really nice. THANK YOU. There was also a cooler however we had to jimmy rig it to keep it closed. Also Gary was great about getting back to us right away when we had questions etc. on Christmas Eve. We were disappointed in a few things. In the kitchen, the cooking pans are warped. We had to try and jimmy rig to get pans even on burners. (Electric skillet would be nice) There were only three spoons and no dish towels. There was also only one dish cloth. In the bathrooms there were no hand towels, only wash clothes. Also only a small towel to use as a shower mat in the master suite. The toilet for the other two bedrooms whistles loudly when flushed. Also the DVD player doesn't open. Having these things addressed would make it a 5 star place to stay.

We enjoyed the home and all it’s amenities. Our teenagers loved viewing the burrowing owls down the road and plenty of restaurants locally to dine in. The property manager responded very quickly to us if we had any questions. Traffic was a little heavier that we would like for our trips to the beach but the locality to food and shopping was great.

Awesome stay!

This is a gorgeous property, well maintained by the owners! The house is a 3 bedroom two bathroom, with the master suite on the other side of the living space from the two bedrooms and bath. Outside there is a separate access to the “suite” that is like it’s own beautiful hotel room - great for when my mom wants to travel with us but wants some separation from the grandkids! ;) That suite has its own locked entrance, screened porch, master bath, etc. The main house has a beautiful kitchen, cozy living room, really comfortable beds, and wonderful double sliders that open to the covered pool patio. There is also a door near the pool that goes right into the bathroom (amazingly convenient with kids!) and another directly into the kitchen. The pool was perfect - so nice to have the wide steps, a deep end, well maintained and heated pool to use anytime we wanted!! There were plenty of close beaches and lots of places to eat, or order in. The owner was so quick to reply and you can tell he just really cares about his property and making sure his guests have a great stay! I could not have asked for a better place to stay in Cape Coral - You won’t be disappointed in your stay!!
