Unfortunately, we didn't have much time, but this wonderful, spacious house by a lake, in the middle of a beautiful community, is a real gem; a place to switch off and just be happy. From the very first minute, you can feel that the owners have furnished it with great taste and love and probably spend a lot of time here themselves. We will try to rent this paradise again as soon as possible, this time for a longer vacation so that we also have time to explore the nearby beaches of Sanibel Island and Fort Myers Beach.The property management also deserves special praise; check-in and check-out were extremely friendly and hassle-free.

Host profile image

Hello and welcome! My name is Angela Diederichs. I’m originally from Germany and moved to beautiful Florida in 2021 after many years of spending vacations here. I fell in love with Southwest back in 2008 — so much that my family and I purchased our first home here. Today, I live in Cape Coral with my husband and daughter, and I’m proud to call this sunny paradise my home.

Why they chose this property

It's like in a fairy tale.

What makes this property unique

It's completely different from those Florida Houses everybody knows. The location is priceless. Watch the wildlife on your own lake while having breakfast. these are memories made to last forever !
