Our family has stayed at this property a couple times now and we just love coming here! It has everything we need, and Donna has the best hospitality with us. There were some issues with the boat and she let us know right away that it was broke, and was accommodating to the situation for our family. We had some trouble with the pool and they sent someone to fix it. On the last day the tropical storm was coming in and she opened up the home to us to stay longer if needed due to weather. She was caring and concerned when it came to our leaving with the storm. Thanks for another great stay!

Donna’s communication was superb. She gave us a heads up when recent flooding affected the property.
She was accommodating and helped us problem solve any questions.
Place and neighborhood was in a perfect location not to mention the chance to observe burrowing g owls. So special.

Very mixed reviews for us of this property. The house and amenities were nice and you can tell it was fabulous at some point, but has not been well maintained. Amenities were great. The pool, spa, boat and pool table were the highlights! Everything was basically functional, but the boat lift canopy has been hanging in the canal since the hurricane 1.5 years ago. This probably contributed to the boat seats dry rotting and splitting. The gas cap was missing and replaced with a paper towel and duct tape. Boat captain was great and we loved taking the boat out. The ice maker was frozen up when we arrived and we could never get it to function, so bought tons of ice, plus it needed a new water filter so the water came extremely slow. The downstairs “master” toilet ran all night every 30 minutes. We reported these things, so hopefully they have been fixed. Property manager was helpful and a great communicator. Many other signs of long term wear like cracked and splitting floors, rust, mold, fence damages, light bulbs out, etc. Beds were quite hard, but all linens were provided with tons of beach towels. Kitchen was outfitted great with everything we needed for cooking. Very nice commercial grade washer and dryer. Little odd floor plan without doors between master bedrooms and en suite showers. We had no problem making the best of the place and had a great vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay in this house. The house, pool, and hot tub were all very nice and clean. The house was spacious for our family and we were very comfortable here.
The host, Donna was excellent with communication throughout the entire process. She answered questions very quickly. The house had pretty much everything we needed. They supplied a lot of towels for the pool, which was nice because we didn’t have to bring any and take up extra room in our suitcases.
We went to the Lobster Lady restaurant several times. Their seafood was delicious!!! Would definitely recommend going.
We didn’t have use of the boat for the week we stayed, which was disappointing but understandable. We would stay here again.

The pool was cold. Not set at 84 degrees the first week. Had to wait a week to get it turned up. Food and used water bottle left on the floor inside the house. Shrimp parts left by outside eating area. Tv remote in living room didn’t work, really worn out. A lot of clumps of dust on ceiling fans in living room area.

Great home on the canal in a nice location. We loved having the pontoon boat to use and it was an easy process with the boat captain. The pool and hot tub were great. Communication was very good with the owners and check in was easy.

The house is beautiful. Plenty of room for all of our family. We really enjoyed the boat during the day and the pool and hot tub in the evenings. Hoping to come back next year!

We had a great stay. Our boys loved the pool, hot tub and pool table. The boat captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

The property was as advertised and the property manager was responsive to any concerns we had. The recent hurricane did impact the pontoon boat availability but that was entirely understandable.
Overall it was a great location for some old guys looking to play some golf. Well run and decently set up.
5.0
The property was beautiful, better than the pictures. There was space for everyone, you never feel like you're on top of each other. The pool and grotto were picturesque and very enjoyable. The boat...what can I say, it was amazing from putting around the canals to making the trip to Sanibel Island. There were a few minor issues that could be fixed or touched up but nothing that would keep me from coming back again next year! Donna was wonderful to work with, kind and prompt and Captain Otto was a wonderful teacher and very patient. This property is well worth every penny! I very highly recommend it!
5.0
There were 10 of us ranging from 16 to 48. The house was amazing, the pool was a big winner but the most fun was had on the pontoon. We stayed a week and were on the boat every day but one! We would most definitely recommend this property!

Perfect Summer Escape
We stayed here over the 4th of July and have no complaints. the Master suites up and down are more than accommodating and very comfortable. The pool is just right to lounge around in all day with a cocktail and having a boat opened up options to explore the canals of Cape Coral. Would definitely stay here again.

Beyond Our Expectations
I can’t say enough positive things about this property and our entire experience with it. Donna, the property manager, was so great. Check in was a breeze, we just walked right in and got started on vacation. There were 10 of us and we never felt cramped. It’s a beautiful home with lots of extras and a ton of space! The pool and the pool table provided constant fun and having the pontoon was a huge bonus. Captain Otto was a blast during our familiarization cruise and we had enjoyed many adventures on the water.
This property and the experience is one we will definitely visit again. Kudos Donna, Captain Otto and VRBO!

Home exceeded our expectations. Loved the walk-in pool. The water temperature was perfect. Taking the boat to Sanibel was the highlight of our trip. Donna responded to any issue we had right away. Highly recommend.

Not as impressed this time:..
We stayed at this home last May as well and we’re absolutely thrilled with everything about it! This year….not as much. I understand there are new owners now. While the home, location, and boat are still wonderful - the home has started to fall into need of a little TLC. This visit, there were spider webs inside the pool area, the foliage on the grotto looked unkept, the beach towels provided were full of sand when we unfolded them for our use, the floors were not clean, the light above the stovetop was out, the fridge and oven were dirty, the outdoor furniture cushions were dirty - just needed attention. We did not have use of the hot tub the first 3 days, as the air blower needed replacing, the AC unit for upstairs struggles to keep it cool, and we had to have the plumber called for the upstairs tub, as it was not draining. Donna, the property manager, was quick to offer assistance and help, so we really appreciate her! I do hope the new owners will take the review as an opportunity to make this home as fabulous as it was last year!

A great house with everything you need!
Two families (9 people total) stayed here for a week. The house fit us perfectly. There were two huge master suites and two rooms for the 5 kids. All rooms had ceiling fans and the beds/bedding were SO comfortable. The main floor was open and provided pool/bumper pool to entertain the kids, along with a huge TV/couch that fit everyone. The kitchen had plenty of gadgets/tools/dishware. Check to see if they have something before you bring it with you - because they probably do. They had fishing gear, coolers, life jackets, sand toys/pool toys, and plenty of beach towels. But best of all, the boat was fantastic! We spent 4 of 6 days on the boat. Plan around 2-3 hours for your initial boat lesson and 45-60 min of a boat ride through the canals to get into the open water. The hot tub was hot, the pool was refreshing, and we had a great week!!
5.0
Everything was great. The only issue we had was the hot tub jets didn’t work most of the time.
We would definitely rent this property again!

Fabulous Family Vacation
We absolutely loved our stay!! The house and pool were beautiful. The pontoon boat was the icing on the cake! There were six adults, one two-year old and two six-month old babies in our group. The house included two pack-n-plays, a highchair, a child fence around the pool and many pool toys and rafts to keep everyone happy. The kitchen was well equipped and there were ample household supplies for our two-week stay. We booked this house for next year. I highly recommend it,

Great House! Great Location!
We had plenty of room for two families and the two master suites were great. House had everything we needed and the kitchen was well stocked. We loved having access to the boat for the week. Looking forward to staying here again in the future. Our kids loved being able to walk to the park each day to play.

Awesome family fun!
We completely enjoyed our stay at the home, lots of room and amenities certainly helped with the experience. The boat was a huge addition to the vacation along with the fishing poles they kept in garage. This is a nice value and convenient location, you’ll have fun!

Great getaway from the freezing Midwest temperatures.
This was a wonderful home-away-from-home for our extended family of 9. It accommodated all of our various age groups with plenty of room to spare and was equipped with everything we could need. We loved the area as well and would be happy to return.

Great Family Getaway!
We live in the area and we brought way to much stuff since the house was well furnished with toys, games, extra bedding, kitchen gadgets and appliances. The boat was a big highlight for our grandchildren. We have our own small fishing boat which only holds 6 people so having a boat that everyone comfortably fit on was great. We held a surprise 40th birthday for our son that turned out just fabulous!!! It was so nice to have all of our kids and their families here at one time. We will do it again!!

Awesome well appointed home
We had a range of ages. Everyone had a a great time. Boat really put this house over the top. Being able to anchor off Sanibel, picnic island, and dock at Cabbages Key was truly exceptional! Captain Otto was great. He showed us how to navigate through the locks and around the area. Tons and tons of great restaurants. Doc Fords, Mexico Lindo, Blue Dog, and so many more! Donna was very responsive and accommodating. Zero complaints! House, pool, and spa were fantastic! Hopefully we can make it back. Thank you all so much!

Beautiful Property!
Had problems with the ac upstairs not working properly was warmer upstairs. Waterfall for the pool is not on all the time and is only on for a few hours a day early in the morning the rest of the day it has a steady drip which is really annoying when you are in the pool. The boat was really nice. The boat captain and property manager were great best service from both people we could have hoped for. There are plenty of good places to eat close by or a big kitchen area if you prefer to stay in. We will be staying there again...

Awesome property
Was an overall good experience. We had a wasted day and half because of a tropical storm but that’s Florida. The boat was awesome, we went to tween waters and picnic island. Property management company was very helpful as we lost internet for a couple of days due to the storm. They did the best they could ended up being a gfi that needed reset. I would recommend this property to anyone.

We had a great vacation with friends! A much needed getaway. There were 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 6-14). We had plenty of space. The rooms were spacious and the 2 master bathrooms were HUGE. The kids were never bored. The pool was a big hit and we spent hours upon hours hanging out around the pool! You could fish from the dock in the canal with the gear provided at the house. The pool table and game table were also a good source of entertainment.Getting to use the boat was an added bonus! Captain Otto did a great job helping us learn how to navigate the waterways. By boat the beaches were about 45-90min away and by car there were quite a few beaches within 30min or so.Plenty of stores, shops, and restaurants close by. Nice quiet neighborhood. The house had everything we needed!

Best Place Ever
The most beautiful of homes. Everything was pristine and prepared for visitors. From the welcome book, snacks, water in the fridge, to the pontoon, and the ease of working with Donna, the property manager. Everything was perfect. We booked for next year.

Memorable Vacation
The boat was the highlight of our vacation. We had a wonderful time exploring the Sanibel, Captiva's and Coya Costa islands. They are beautiful and very private. The house is perfect for a crowd. Kitchen well stocked, beds comfortable and the pool table was fun. We also enjoyed a dip in the hot tub when we returned from our day on the boat. Donna was a delight to work with. We will return!
