About this house rental
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.

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.

Checking out of Congo Breeze today and have to say this is the nicest Florida VRBO we have stayed in. The place was clean, in great condition and well stocked with everything you will need to have a great experience. If you are looking for a nice house to hang with family around the pool, barbecue, play pool, ping pong, cornhole, Kan Jam and Spike Ball then this is the place for you.
The hosts were incredibly easy to communicate with and checked in multiple times to see how our stay was going and if we needed anything. They also asked if anything could be provided to make the place better. The place and hosts really are top notch! When our flight got delayed they even tried to help find an additional property for us to stay in.
Overall, 5 out of 5 and would highly recommend.

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.

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!!!!!!
5.0
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.

Our family had an amazing time at this house. Everything was perfect. We stayed with 8 adults and 4 children. House was extremely clean and well equipped. Mike and Patti are great hosts. We were all sad to leave. We would highly recommend this house .

From the time of booking all the way through checkout, Mike & Patti could not have been better hosts. They are extremely thorough with details, lightning fast to respond to inquiries before and during the stay, and cared about every detail being perfect for us during our vacation in their beautiful home.
The home itself is beautiful and has every amenity you could possibly need on vacation. I highly recommend renting a boat and using the awesome dock in front of the home to cruise the canal system and venture out into the Gulf.
Quiet neighborhood, close to 47th terrace with all of the fun restaurants and bars.
Overall would highly recommend this vacation home if you are looking for a large, comfortable, and affordable vacation home for your friends and family.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The house is very well laid out with privacy for each bedroom and cable TV in each bedroom. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and pool (heated) -- it was wonderful. This home had all of the necessities you need to prepare a meal as well as anything you need to go to the beach. We loved it and we hope to be back again soon. Mike and Patti were very responsive.

When booking online we thought Congo Breeze would be the perfect place for our family to come together. We were not disappointed. Congo Breeze is even more beautiful than the images depict. Not only beautiful but Mike and Patti have thought of everything a guest would need while away from their own home. Seriously, all one needs is to go to the grocery store and get food and drink. Everything else is provided and I do mean EVERYTHING!. We have stayed at a few (can't say the name in a review) :) over the years and Mike and Patti of Congo Breeze surpassed them ALL. We had thought of booking elsewhere in the area; we are so happy we did not. We cannot express the gratitude we have for Congo Breeze and Mike and Patti for their attention to detail and the exceptional communication through the process and during our stay. You will not be disappointed if you book the Congo Breeze. Instead you will rebook, like we have. Do not pass up this excellent location and home for your next getaway.

Love this beautiful house. I fell in love with this house from the inside out. So nice and clean very big and spacious. They have everything there so you don’t have to go buy extra things. My kids went out to the back to fish and they had so much fun and my younger girls loves the pool. I would really recommend renting this house. I would love to buy this house. Beautiful home❤️

Patti and mike were very helpful throughout the vacation. Congo breeze is an amazing property. Even though we had a hurricane cause some weather issues midway through the trip the house had plenty to do to keep us entertained . We made many memories in this home and hope to come back again. Mike and patti you are the best. Greatly appreciate all the help and communication through out the stay to make us feel comfortable!

Congo Breeze is Amazing!! Perfect location, beautifully decorated, totally equipped for your perfect get-a-way! Patti and Mike are AWESOME host that make you feel like part of their family. They even ordered new floats for the pool during our stay:). Our family of 10 (8 adults and 2 children) had the best time relaxing by the pool and just hanging out together playing pool, ping pong and watching movies. The home is equipped with all the extras for a true vacation down to the expresso machine for those expresso martinis for dessert:). We rented the boat for the week which allowed us to explore the area and visit different restaurants and beaches. Truly an amazing trip that we will forever remember!! Definitely on our list to return😊

Amazing place! Very spacious. Clean. Perfect location for nice walks in the morning, close to grocery stores and bait shops, nice dock. Patti recommended a boat rental: Captian Manni’s Executive Boats LLC. (Great Experience)- they can pick up your boat from Patti’s boat dock if you choose to spend an extra $100. Well worth it. One of our favorite things we did each night besides night fishing- was play pool. So nice to have a pool table indoors to keep you cool. This was our 8th family vacation, 9 total- everyone voted BEST PLACE so far… we will be back. Highly recommend. Owners are absolutely lovely and very kind.

This house is truly amazing along with the owners!! The moment my family arrived we were in awe of how beautiful the house was!! Once we got settled and realized everything that the house had to offer we felt right at home! You literally have the best of everything! We relaxed and played games it the pool, had a corn hole tournament every day,enjoyed the dock and rented a boat for 4 days and just overall had the best vacation. The owners provided everything you can think of from plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, bath and beach towels. It was SO nice to not have to run to the store for those types of basics! I hope my family and I are lucky enough to visit this home again!

This place was absolutely perfect! The pictures of it were beautiful, but pulling up and seeing the property in person was the best! It is gorgeous inside and out. We had 10 in our group and the house allowed us all the space we needed. Not to mention the outdoor area was breathtaking!
The owners were fantastic to work with! Anytime we had a question they replied right back. This is definitely a place we will stay again!

From the moment we booked until the the moment we left communication with the owners was top notch. We have stayed at 5 or 6 other vacation rentals in this area and this one has exceeded them all. The home is absolutely perfect-the location perfect and the amenities were above all others. We had all ages from adults to teens to an infant and they really have made this home accommodating for everyone. Plenty to do at the home and plenty to do in the area. Short drive to Fort Myers Beach and Cape Harbour. House was extremely clean and just really absolutely perfect! We used the pool, hot tub, ping pong table, kayak, baggo boards, TV, speakers and everything was in perfect condition. It was hard to leave...Thank you to the Bartels for sharing their beautiful place with us! We will definitely book this again. We loved it all!

Beautiful property, modern electronics, very well maintained, great beds.
Owner was great to work with and answered all our questions from quickly.
We had a group of 11 people from our church who came to Ft Myers with 8 Days of Hope as part of a mission trip to rebuild in the Harlem Heights area. This home was perfect for our group who had adults of all ages. Pool, hot tub, and pool table were all big hits at the end of a long day!

This Home was absolutely perfect! It accommodated our family of 14 perfectly. It was super clean and very well equipped. We fully enjoyed the pool and amenities of the home. We rented a boat for the week and jet skis which we were able to dock right at the house. I am so amazed at how well stocked the home was!!! That truly made this home stand out! It’s a 5 min drive to the grocery store and short drive to beaches and restaurants. Patricia was an amazing host. She answered every single question and was prompt with all of her responses. We hope to be back very soon! Thank you so much for allowing our family to stay at the Congo home. It will be forever memorable!

My family had the best week staying at Congo Breeze! The house is equipped with everything you might possibly need during your vacation, from kitchen tools to pool toys! The house was big enough for our crew to sleep comfortably (9 adults, 2 kids, 2 toddlers). The pool and lanai are even better than the great pictures, and we had so much fun enjoying them and the Florida sunshine! We also used the bikes, they were in great condition. Mike and Patti were very available and quick to respond to questions. Would highly recommend staying at this property, we'd all love to go back!

This home is beautiful, in a quiet neighborhood and very relaxing. Wish we could have stayed longer. It would be perfect for a family or a group of friends. Very spacious and everything you need. We will definitely go back. The owners were great to help with anything you needed.

We are a group of 65+ year old gals that went to high school together. For the last several years we have rented houses in SWF for a gathering of fun and catching up. Congo Breeze has set the bar. The amenities are A+. All we needed to bring was food and refreshments. In the past we would head out to dinner, shopping, a little sight seeing. At Congo Breeze, we didn’t leave the property as it has so much to offer. (With the exception of a beer run).
Pictures on line do not do the property justice. There is not one negative I could say about the property - it is truly Paradise!

I am pleased to rate our 2 week stay at "Congo Breeze" with 5 stars. The house is immaculate and was completely stocked with all the essentials for every day living.
We had a total of 6 people (3 adult couples), who have several VRBO stays under our belts and this one is the best. Communication with the owner was exceptional. All our questions were answered immediately. The location was close to many restaurants and shopping which gave us more time to just enjoy the house and the fabulous heated pool. We enjoyed our meals on the patio, especially dinner one evening using the gas grill which had a full propane tank ready for us. To top it off, the weather was perfect, which made for a most enjoyable and relaxing 2 week vacation.

We are currently living in Cape Coral. My family and I usually rent 2 to 3 homes a yr. This home is by far the BEST home we have rented. Everything went so smoothly from the beginning to the end. Patti was always available at anytime of any day. Home was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need and more. Super easy gulf access for us boat lovers. Large spacious rooms surround sound throughout the home even outside by the pool. Pool was awesome and hot tub. We will definitely be returning to this home very soon. Everyone loved our stay…Thank you Patti
