Hi Pat - thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're delighted to hear you really enjoyed the house and found it to be comfortable. It's great to know you appreciated the quiet neighborhood. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing stay!
The location was good , the house interior was nice and very comfortable , quiet neighborhood, the pool was clean and big enough, we had a good time , we recommend this property.
The pool is only heated if the outside temp is above 55 degrees. So we couldn’t use the pool the entire time because the outside temp wasn’t above 55 degrees for long enough. There was no Kleenex/facial tissue. And only 1 kitchen towel was not enough. The dogs next door also bark every morning, so annoying. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed so I appreciate that. The beds were also comfortable.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the kitchen well stocked and the beds comfortable.
Unfortunately, you visited during the coldest week Florida has experienced in years—almost ever. The pool heater is designed with a safety setting and will not operate when outdoor temperatures drop below 55 degrees, which was the case during much of your stay. Regrettably, that is something we cannot control.
There should always be at least two kitchen towels provided, so we will certainly look into that. Had you let us know during your stay, we would have been more than happy to bring additional towels and tissues. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention.
One if the cleanest places we have stayed. Very comfortable home. Loved the pool and being on the canal.

The house was the perfect size to accommodate all of my family while we all still had space to ourselves. I loved the option to turn off the AC and open the slider doors up for a wonderful cool breeze.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was equipped with everything that we needed, very clean and convenient to so much! The pool was an added bonus and the kiddos lived in it. We also took advantage of the boat slip and rented a pontoon to cruise the canals. Would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Cape Coral!

This house was even better than the pics and description. It was a great location that was very accessible to all of the nearby attractions- beach, golf, baseball game, fishing charter, shopping, and dining. We were sad to leave and will absolutely rent this house again next year when we come down.

This was our second time staying at this property as our kids asked to go back. The house is clean and spacious with all the necessary items for family vacationers. The location is in a safe neighborhood that has quick access to the main roadways in the area. We loved the heated pool and lanai. The management team was very responsive to questions. If we come back to the area next year we will check to see if this property is available.

My family and I came down on spring break. My kids loved the pool and canal. We all loved that we could bring our boat and run out to the islands for perfect beach days. We definitely want to come back for another stay. My kids hated to leave.

Everyone loved being here. Very clean, nice furniture, memory foam mattresses, clean pool with lots of toys. Bring your own seasonings since there is only salt and pepper in the kitchen. Neighbors are close but friendly.

We just spent 5 nights during a hot week in March. The property was beautiful and the pictures represented it well. We loved sitting outside by the pool every day. The kids loved swimming in the pool. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Some reviews have complained about the dogs next door - but they only really barked when we would open the gate to get down to the dock area. The kitchen was large. They supply you with a brand new sponge, some dish soap, and a few dishwasher tabs. There was only salt, pepper, adn Lawry's seasoned salt for spices. The Lawry's is either really old or just all clumped together because of humidity - could probably be replaced. The refrigerator was nice that it had a water and ice dispenser in the door. It was wonderful to have a beach umbrella and wagon to use at the beach. They have 4 of the low beach chairs to use. We would have loved a regular height chair as well for the elderly person in our group - it was hard for her to get in and out of the low chairs. They supply a few laundry tabs so we were able to do laundry and everything worked well with that. We are used to having celing fans in every room in our house and it was surprising that this is not a feature in a Florida home. It was really hot and humid the night we arrived, so sleeping was difficult. There was one fan we found in a closet but it sounded like a freight train. We had to buy some small fans at Walmart to use while we were there. Overall, it was a great stay!

Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful review. We’re so glad to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay, especially the pool, outdoor space, and peaceful neighborhood. It’s great to know the home met your expectations and that you were able to take advantage of the beach equipment as well.
We appreciate your feedback on a few of the items mentioned. We will look into these things to see what we can do to possibly better accommodate future guests.
Regarding ceiling fans, not all Florida homes are equipped with them in every room, but we appreciate the feedback and will keep that in mind as we evaluate future improvements. We’re sorry the initial night felt warm and appreciate your flexibility in finding a solution that worked for your group.
Thank you again for your helpful comments and kind words. We’re glad you had a great stay and would love to host you again in the future!
