About this property
Private Retreat | Pool, Firepit & Arcade
Summary:
Coral Cottage
The Space:
Escape to an ultra-private Cape Coral retreat in a quiet neighborhood near the riverfront, just minutes from the beach at the southeastern tip of Cape Coral. The beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard adds privacy and space for enjoying sunny Florida days.
Inside, the fully equipped kitchen overlooks the pool and features a three-seat granite breakfast bar beneath stylish pendant lighting. The adjacent dining table seats eight, creating plenty of room for family meals and gatherings.
The living room offers a comfortable spot to watch TV, while the sunroom adds another gathering space with cozy seating, a mini-fridge, and arcade games for friendly competition.
The enclosed lanai is outfitted with lounge chairs, a gas grill, firepit, and dining for six. String lights add a warm glow for evening meals and fireside conversations.
Nearby riverfront beaches, restaurants, shops, parks, and Cape Coral attractions make it easy to explore. After a day out, settle in with a game in the sunroom or gather around the firepit.
With stylish interiors, multiple gathering spaces, and a private setting, this retreat is well suited for relaxed family and group getaways.
Things to Know
Guests who would like the pool heater turned on should contact VueStay at least 72 hours prior to arrival. The pool heating fee is $32 per day, plus tax. Pool heat is available October 1 - May 1.
Before Adding Pool Heat
We recommend checking the Cape Coral weather forecast shortly before your stay when deciding whether to add pool heat to the reservation.
Electric pool heaters rely on the outdoor air temperature to warm the water and are generally capable of heating pool water to approximately 20°F above the outside air temperature under favorable conditions.
During periods of cooler weather, ( typically in December, January and February and particularly when a cold front moves through Southwest Florida, the pool may take longer to warm and may not reach or maintain 85°F.
Important: Electric pool heaters may not operate when the outdoor temperature is approximately 55°F or below. Because pool heating performance is affected by outdoor temperatures and weather conditions, a specific pool temperature cannot be guaranteed.
Average Monthly Temperatures in Cape Coral
Southwest Florida enjoys warm weather throughout much of the year, but temperatures can vary considerably during the fall and winter. Historical averages can be helpful when planning your trip, but we always recommend checking the current forecast before deciding whether to add pool heat.
Please see the chart below:
Month Average High Average Low
January 74°F (23°C) 56°F (13°C)
February 76°F (24°C) 58°F (14°C)
March 79°F (26°C) 61°F (16°C)
April 83°F (28°C) 65°F (18°C)
May 87°F (31°C) 70°F (21°C)
June 89°F (32°C) 73°F (23°C)
July 90°F (32°C) 74°F (23°C)
August 91°F (33°C) 76°F (24°C)
September 89°F (32°C) 75°F (24°C)
October 85°F (29°C) 71°F (22°C)

December 75°F (24°C) 58°F (14°C)
Cooler Weather in Southwest Florida
Please remember that the temperatures above are historical averages and are not a guarantee of the weather during your stay. Cold fronts can occasionally bring significantly cooler temperatures to Cape Coral, especially from December through February.
For example, temperatures in the Cape Coral–Fort Myers area dropped into the upper 30s during a January 2025 cold snap, and another strong cold front in November 2025 brought morning temperatures into the low 40s.
These colder periods can significantly affect the performance of an electric pool heater.
Please Keep in Mind
Pool heat can make swimming much more comfortable during Florida's cooler months, but pool temperatures cannot be guaranteed. Outdoor air temperature, overnight temperatures, wind, rain, cold fronts, and other weather conditions can all affect how quickly the pool warms and the temperature it can maintain.
For the best experience, we recommend checking the weather forecast shortly before your arrival before purchasing pool heat.

Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Would stay again. Pool was great and it is nice and private and quiet Not on top of your neighbors. Nice walking trail behind the house too.
What a nice home for my vacation. Set in a quiet neighborhood with a park behind the house. I even saw an eagle in the tree! The pool was clean and refreshing, bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything needed to make my own meals. I would definitely recommend this home.
