The pool, the covered patio, the furniture, the jacuzzi were amazing and the views were stunning. It was a home away from home! If this place is available when you are checking it, please don’t hesitate to book it because it is worth it. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful place and we can’t wait to come back!

Fun, Relaxing Vacay!

Amazing property, the decor is beautiful and the house is immaculate. We enjoyed swimming during the day and hot tub at night. We kayaked across the lake early in the mornings to watch the sunrise over the house. We grilled and enjoyed the spectacular sunsets. We will definitely be back! The owners are delightful as well! Thank you for a relaxing, much needed getaway!

This place is amazing. You see pictures of places on rental sites and almost never get the same quality in real life but these guys have thought of everything! Super clean and organized, everything we could’ve needed during our stay they had there for us which is huge when you are traveling with tiny humans! Thank you guys so much!

Perfect vacation getaway!!!

This house went above and beyond everything we had hoped for!! The pictures do not do this house justice, being right on the water makes for the perfect sunset location and such peaceful mornings. House was super clean and organized, both Stu & Cathy thought of every question we could have possibly had in the materials left out for our use. Hosts were both so thoughtful and even brought us over extra towels to make sure our stay was the most comfortable! I can not express enough in words how great of a stay we had, I would highly recommend this property for anyone's vacation needs!!!

Amazing stay at Cape Coral

A Perfect Florida Getaway!We had an absolutely amazing stay at this holiday let in Florida! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need—from kitchen supplies to beach towels.The location was ideal—close to shops, restaurants, and just a short drive to the beach. We especially loved relaxing by the private pool. It was so peaceful and felt like our own personal oasis.The hosts were incredibly friendly and responsive, offering great local tips and making sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. You can tell they truly care about their guests’ experience.We’ve stayed in a number of vacation rentals over the years, but this one truly stands out. We’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!

Relaxed and Laid Back

The house was perfect for our family of 5 who was looking for a place to relax and unwind with goals of doing nothing but hanging by the pool. The house had plenty of room to spread out, a fabulous pool and yard and the beach chairs and wagon were perfect for a day trip to the beach!

Relax and unwind.

Everything was great. Everything was as expected. Would have liked it be able to control the thermostat so we could sleep a bit more comfortable. 74 degrees was a bit warm for us since we are from the north. Otherwise it was everything and more.

Lovely property with wonderful amenities. Came in early for relaxation prior to work conference and this was perfect. Everything you need with amazing amenities. Responsive pleasant owners who seem genuinely happy to share their space with you. I would stay again but typically travel with a large dog which is not allowed but otherwise this is the perfect. Close to everything you might want to do!

About the host

Hosted by Stu Scheller

Host profile image
Stu and Cathy have been married since 1980, you do the math! We have four grown children with four amazing spouses. We are the grandparents of twelve grandchildren and are semi-retired. We started our Vacation Rental Business in 2010. We found that Stu is awesome at customer service and Cathy is great at finding, rehabbing and decorating the homes. Together we make a great team. We love making unique vacation rental homes and sharing in the stories of your special vacations.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Sunset view, the location for a sunny warm pool deck and the view of the lake. This home is just a half mile bike ride, or a short kayak ride from another of our Vacation Rental Homes VRBO 1453524 and we thought it would make a guest cottage to either rent alone or as overflow for larger families. We love to remodel homes and wanted to make this home into an amazing Vacation Property. And now we have Mermaid that is just 5 houses up the street on the same lake with the same amazing sunset. Mermaid VRBO #2787741.

What makes this property unique

This home has it all. 200 year old barn sliding doors, shiplap, farm sink, pebble showers, pool bath, a brand new shiny pool and hot tub with all the bells and whistles. Right down to a controller for the pool and spa inside the house. The extremely cool part is that our largest rental home Schell-Topia can be seen across the lake. If you need overflow for our larger home or if necessary it can be a Guest Cottage to that home or rent it on it's own.
