Heated Saltwater Pool• Hot Tub • 4BR 3BA • Gulf Access•Private Dock • CLEAN HOME

Welcome to Florida Retreat – Your Sunshine-Fueled Slice of Paradise!

Pack your flip-flops and sunglasses—your dream getaway starts right here! Florida Retreat is a 4-bedroom, 3-bath tropical haven that sleeps up to 10 lucky guests. With a heated saltwater pool, bubbling hot tub, direct sailboat access to the Gulf, and a private dock, this is the kind of place that makes you want to stay forever.

Our Story (aka Why We’re Obsessed With This Place):
Twenty years ago, we made the best decision of our lives—moving to Cape Coral. Between the sunshine, salty breezes, and boat-to-the-beach lifestyle, we were hooked. Now we’re opening up our happy place to other adventure-seeking, hammock-loving families who want a taste of Florida magic. Mornings here are for soaking in the hot tub with coffee in hand. Afternoons? Boating to Sanibel or making waves with the kids in the pool. Nights? Lanai lounging, drinks in hand, stars overhead.

What’s Inside – and Outside – the Dream:
- 2 Luxe King Suites with private bathrooms for maximum pampering
- 1 Queen Bedroom and 1 Double Queen Bedroom – because nobody wants bunk beds on vacation
- 3 Full Bathrooms, including one with direct pool deck access (hello, convenient!)

The vibe is open, airy, and designed for FUN. The living and dining spaces flow right into the showstopper: the lanai. This screened-in outdoor haven features:
- An 8-person dining table for epic family meals
- A comfy lounge with a big-screen TV for movie nights, game days, or evening chill sessions
- A drink station with a mini fridge and ice machine—so the good times stay cool

Awesome Extras That Make Your Stay Effortless:
- WiFi that actually works (yes, even poolside)
- Smart TVs in every room
- A fully loaded kitchen with everything from spices to spatulas
- Tons of towels (yes, even beach ones!)
- Starter paper goods to get you going (3 rolls TP per bathroom)

Dock Life = Best Life:
Want to level up your vacay? Book a boat through our trusted partners and have it delivered right to your private dock. Cruise the canals, fish off the deck, or set out for a salty sea adventure to Captiva, Sanibel, or Fort Myers Beach. It’s all within an hour of your dockside launch.

A Few Friendly Guidelines:
- Guests must be 24+
- No pets, sorry fur babies!
- No smoking anywhere in the home or lanai
- Garage and locked areas are reserved for owner use
- Keep it clean—extra cleaning fees apply for party-level messes (yes, we take pics)
- Ask about FREE early check-in or late checkout—we love to spoil our guests!

If you’re looking for a place where pool floats, boat days, beach trips, and belly laughs come standard—you’ve found it. We can't wait to host you at Florida Retreat and help you create unforgettable memories!

See you in the sun!

Thank you,
Dean and Ellen

Great house for a small group

Check in was easy they let us arrive early which was very nice. Everything was updated and clean and plenty of room for the five of us. We only had one issue with the door alarms when it came off the door at 4am and started going off. The pool and hot tub were beautiful and finally figured out the heater in the spa cause the breaker had tripped. All around awesome stay and would stay again..

Family of 7 Vacation

The house is exactly as it appears in the photos. The star of this house for my family of 7 (5 kids and 2 parents) was the outside area where we enjoyed the pool, dining table, bar, and lounge area all evenings of our trip. I had a couple of questions for the host who responded instantly. A bonus on this listing are the beach and pool supplies collected in deck boxes (as of our trip, the beach supplies include a collapsible wagon, 7 chairs, 2 umbrellas, an umbrella stake, and a cooler).
