About this property

Villa near Cape Harbor, with large pool, whirlpool

The elegant villa is located in the southernmost and most interesting part of Cape Coral. Dream view of the water: It is one of the few plots on the Nimrod Canal. From the dock and the 25-meter captains walk you can watch dolphins and manetees, go fishing and enjoy the view of the tropical garden with palm trees.
The extraordinarily large plots of land in the neighborhood guarantee you peace and privacy.

A special variant for family friends:
You can spend your vacation with friends and still maintain your privacy: Simply rent for max. 16 people our two neighboring houses dolphin view (2451400) and blue marlin (2463457).

In just a few minutes you can reach the Gulf of Mexico via the sailboat canal, without bridges - a dream for all boaters. You can moor your boat directly at the in-house dock or on one of the two boat lifts.

The Villa Dolphin View was extensively renovated by us in summer 2015 and furnished very tastefully. The high-quality kitchen with a granite worktop, wine fridge and central hob leaves nothing to be desired. The luxurious ambience of the villa is not comparable to usual holiday homes, since we also use the villa privately. It has only been rented to holiday guests since the end of 2015.
The living area is approximately 250sqm. The large glass fronts flood the rooms with light. The sliding glass doors can be opened completely.
All rooms are equipped with TV and fans. Two separate ones
Master areas are equipped with private bathrooms, bedrooms with king-size beds and walk-in closets. Perfect for vacationing with two families or visiting grandparents. Two lovingly furnished queen size bedrooms with the themes 'Seastar' and 'Blue Ocean' are a dream for children! Our own four children were involved in the room design.

The spacious terrace with a heated pool and whirlpool is covered in the dining area.
A large gas grill, pool lighting and comfortable lounge chairs invite you to cozy barbecues on the terrace.
Beach chairs, beach towels, a cool box and a parasol are available for your beach excursions.

Great Holiday vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house, the view is even better than pictures. The location is very close to the Marina, restaurants, and Publix. House is well equipped with pool toys, beach chairs, and coolers. Pool is very large, and spa was a welcomed plus during the colder than usual Christmas holiday. We would definitely stay again.

Our Happy Place

This property is a wonderful place to stay! There are 2 primary suites with King beds and 2 smaller bedrooms, each with a Queen bed. The 3rd bathroom has access to the pool as well as to the hall inside. The open concept kitchen/living area is perfect for gathering and conversation. Just about everything you need is supplied by the owner. I do bring a crockpot for use on busy golf or beach days. It is nice to have dinner ready when you get home. The lanai and pool area is a favorite spot. So peaceful and beautiful. Dolphins and an occasional Manatee can be seen in the canal; although this year we did not see as many. We always look forward to staying at Dolphin View. The owner and the property manager are fantastic to work with.

Pretty good stay

This was our second stay for our family vacation, which included my husband, 3 kids (ages 4,11,13), along with my mom and dad. The layout of the house was absolutely perfect for a family our size, and the location was great. My kids had fun fishing off the dock, we spotted dolphins in the canal, and it was fun watching all the boats past by. There were a few pain points, with the biggest issue of our stay being that the pool was a very cold 72 degrees when we arrived. The property manager’s directions were very unclear, so it took over 2 days for the pool to be useable which was not ideal. We also noticed the house definitely saw wear and tear from renters since the last time we were there 4 years ago. The outside of the house especially is in desperate need of paint and a good power washing. The dock was in pretty rough condition, and needs repair.We ate most meals at the house over our 7 night stay, and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. Guests will definitely need to purchase paper towels, toilet paper, and dishwasher tablets (if you cook). We had to buy toilet paper on the 2nd day of our stay, which was odd compared to other VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Overall I would still consider it to be a good place to stay, especially if the owner made some updates.

Great House, perfect location

Spent Christmas here this year, and was was perfect. About 10 mins by boat out of the canals, and right at the start of the miserable mile. Nice pool and hot tub with a large dock. If I had to pick out one small issue it would be that the pool was in service mode prior to our arrival, and in December that meant the pool was about 70. It took a solid day and a half before the kids could comfortably swim. Once the pool was warm it was perfect for the reat of the stay. House had everything you need to cook, and is a 3 min drive to Publix. Highly recommended if you are looking for a place in this area. We have large family and had pleanty of space in the house. iserservice mode

Great Location and amazing Property!

This house has everything we needed. The property is amazing, the views in the canal are amazing. We saw an alligator swimming, manatees, and plenty of fish, we even saw a bald eagle flying. Amazing week and great property. My son enjoyed fishing from the dock all week.

Excellent property, will return

We enjoyed the stay so much we have already booked our return. This is a spacious, ranch-style home with two generous master suites, comfortable furniture, and an open plan kitchen and living room. The long dock affords a pleasant water view beyond the pool. Cool weather this trip meant we only used the hot tub, but that was well-liked by all. Great communication with both the owner and the local property manager.

March trip

Property is just as advertised and displayed. The interior is a bit dated but that was not an issue and I would not hesitate renting it again. The property manager was very friendly, personable, and available. One small leak we had was repaired immediately. I liked the location - near a main canal so lots of boats to watch.

A Peaceful Retreat

Dolphin View is a wonderful place to stay. The owners and property manager are very detailed oriented. They are always improving the property, which, by the way, does not need much improvement. There are two master suites with king beds and 2 smaller bedrooms with queen beds. The kitchen is open to the dining & living areas with easy access to the large lanai and pool. We love watching the many boats coming and going on the canals and seeing dolphins near the dock. We even saw a manatee in the canal this year. Can't saw enough about this property. Love it!
