About this property

Luxury home w/ 2 suites, LARGE pool, spa, lanai. Quick gulf access! 5 Bikes! EV!

No electricity or per person charges! Free pool heating! No property management company - deal directly with the owners who only own this one home in Florida.

Congo Breeze was built to be a luxury vacation rental and you will sense it instantly upon walking into the front door. The common area is huge and has a bar area, pool table, and a new 75 inch wall-mounted Smart TV with premium sound. The common area has 90 degree sliding doors that open up completely and make the outdoor lanai area feel like an extension of the home. The surround sound system plays music through the common areas of the home and lanai.

Amazing, high ceilings throughout the home make it feel much larger than 3000 square feet. Note all the tray ceilings! The home has hard flooring throughout (no carpet) and we do not allow pets, so it is very allergy-friendly.

Dedicated work space in the master suite including an external monitor with HDMI cable to connect to most laptops.

The lanai contains a gorgeous, large saltwater pool with a sun shelf that you can move a chair into to relax with your feet in the water and a book or drink in your hand. The pool also has a built-in table with seating which is perfect for drinks, card games, or both. We even provide a few waterproof decks of cards (and UNO and Spot-it) to help you get the most out of the table in the pool. Please note that we have a child safety fence for your use around the pool if desired. The lanai area also features a spa and heated outdoor shower! The lanai also includes bar stools by a window that opens up into the kitchen. The kitchen has high end appliances, loads of storage, and is well equipped.

What an amazing location! We are in the Yacht Club area and are only five minutes from the Caloosahatchee River which is your portal to amazing times at Sanibel Island, Estero Island, Captiva Island, or many other beautiful destinations! Boat rentals are readily available and we have a great boat lift. If you are interested in renting a boat during your vacation be sure to book early! Ask us about our rental boat! We have a 2016 24 foot NauticStar deck boat for rent through a local boat rental company. You can save $25 per night on the house for each day you rent the boat! Our lift is set up for this boat. One advantage to renting our boat is the GPS leaves bread crumbs from past trips. That makes it easier to get to the local destinations if you are not familiar with the area.

The home sits on a beautiful lot and has 120 feet of canal frontage. The frontage has a tiki hut, boat lift, a kayak launch (we provide a two-person kayak for you to use), and plenty of room to catch some sun on the lovely waterfront decking. We see manatees, sting rays, dolphins and many fish species in the canal!

We want you to come to our home to relax - your paradise awaits! No need to spend additional money or take up luggage space on supplies and paper products! We provide you with pretty much everything you need during your vacation – toilet paper, paper towel, kleenex, dishwasher soap, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, laundry soap, tissues, and even some spices. We also provide coffee/filters/creamer. We provide four hair dryers (one in each bathroom) and we also have a scale for your use. We don't charge electricity fees or fees for extra guests either! We want you to be able to travel lightly and not worry about extra fees!

We have solar panels and that allows us to offer you no additional charges for electricity! You can ask us to set your ideal pool and spa temperature and we don't charge a pool heating fee. We also offer a ChargePoint Electric car charger for you to use at no extra charge. It can be used to charge any electric vehicle but may require an adaptor for certain vehicles. We can provide an adaptor for Tesla's.

We provide five adult bikes you can use to explore the area! One of them is 24 inches which is perfect for most teenagers. The local roads have a bike lane which makes biking easy and safe. The Yacht club is 1.9 miles away and makes a great biking destination.

There are two large master suites (king size beds) each with an attached bathroom which makes this home perfect for two families! There are three additional bedrooms, one with a king size bed, one with a queen, and one with two twin XL (longer so it fits adults) bunk beds. Each bedroom has its own wall mounted smart television except for the bunk bed bedroom. In addition, we have two comfortable air mattresses and bedding that you can use if need be.

High speed internet and over 100 television channels are provided for your enjoyment. We have multiple routers throughout the home to ensure great coverage in both the home and outdoor living areas. The WIFI signal is strong and can be accessed in the pool area and down at the canal frontage.

Congo Breeze has two central air conditioners and offers two variable adjustable zones. There is a full size laundry room with two washing machines and dryer for your use. We have an additional dryer in the garage, along with two drying racks for your convenience. Plenty of pool towels are provided.

Feel free to use the grill. You may have to refill the propane tank if it's empty. Please clean the grill after each use.

We have heard feedback from guests that they love staying at Congo Breeze because there is so much room and so much to do! The pool and lanai area are much larger than most places and we have surround sound music to make it feel like a resort. With ping pong, cornhole, billiards, etc... you could easily spend entire days at our house without needing to leave to spend money on entertainment.

Yacht Club less than 2 miles away!

Plenty of parking in the circular driveway.
There should be a full Welcome Brochure in a binder in the home and one will also be emailed two weeks prior to your stay.

No smoking anywhere on the premises. This includes vapes and e-cigarettes.

No parties or excess noise - please be courteous to the neighbors.

Exactly As Described!

Beautiful home, offering so much for our family of 6 adults and 3 kids. All amenities were exactly as described and the extras (like beach chairs/toys, fishing poles, paper products) were great. The owners were also very kind and responsive. We had a wonderful time and definitely would go there again!

Very impressed

We loved our stay here this past week. Our kids are 7,5,4 and 3 years old and they loved all the games provided and the space to run around. The amount of beach chairs, umbrellas and toys was perfect for the 8 of us to enjoy Fort Meyers Beach. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances and dishes. It was great! I also loved having access to various streaming services for the kids in the morning. Having a tv out by the pool was perfect for watching basketball. We did run into a few hiccups during the week but the owner was very quick with communication and always getting someone out to help immediately. I was very impressed. We are already planning our next trip there in 2026!

Fantastic vacation home

Extremely nice home. They have everything you could want. The pool and hot tub are heated and are a must for a family. We had 6 adults and 4 small children. Plenty of room for all of us. If you’re coming to SW Florida, this is the home you want. The host contacted me several times to make sure everything was good and if we needed anything. Best host I’ve dealt with! Thanks Patti for a perfect week!

Top notch luxury vacation home

It’s not often that you walk into a rental home and find it exceeds what is shown online. Congo Breeze has done a wonderful job of depicting what they have to offer but there is simply no way to show all of the extras. We were a group of 9 with 4 adults and 5 kids ages 10-16. Not only did we have plenty of space for all of us but there was no shortage of activities to enjoy. From the wonderfully spacious lanai with a heated pool and hot tub to ping pong, corn hole, ring toss or sitting on the dock casting a line and enjoying the beautiful view, this place truly has it all. We quickly realized we overpacked as there isn’t a thing that you’d need that this home doesn’t have. We enjoyed daily walks along neighboring streets, rode the bikes provided to the beach to watch the sunset and enjoyed seeing various wildlife including burrowing owls and a special treat of watching a couple of dolphins swim right past us in the canal. The hosts, Mike and Patti, were super friendly and responsive from the very beginning of the booking process until checkout. They even proactively sent tips on things their house has to offer in case you hadn’t found them yet (hello outdoor speakers!). This is a place you’d like to keep a secret but it wouldn’t be fair to the owners who have obviously poured their heart and soul into this place for others to enjoy. Don’t think twice about booking this home, just pack your suit and go!

Amazing Family Vacation

Our extended family stayed at this property for six nights and had an amazing time. Ranging in age from 14-78, our group was extremely happy with our stay. The house was exactly as described, beautifully appointed, spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for our group. The owners Mike and Patti were attentive and responsive, making sure everything went exactly as planned. The home is a short drive to all the local attractions, the pool and spa are wonderful, and we can’t wait to return.

Great family getaway

We had 10 adult family members, and the house was more than enough room for all of us. Time in the pool and playing games provided was fun for everyone. The owners were very helpful both before and during our stay. You will not regret staying at this property. It is every bit as beautiful as the photos.

Amazing Rental

We have stayed in this area of Cape Coral many times and this property, by far, was the best taken care of property from a cleanliness and upkeep standpoint. We had amazing communication throughout the week with the property owners who shared all kinds of great info with us and often asked for feedback on how they could improve the property. Overall just a great experience!!!!!!

We have stayed at quite a few VRBO properties in the past but none were as well equipped and clean/updated as this property. Everything was perfect for our family. Communication with the owner was wonderful with very quick responses. They even offered to ship an item I had inquired about that they didn’t have. We will definitely recommend this property and stay here again.
