About Location

Why it is Famous ?

Cape Coral sits on Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast, and the fun-to-say Caloosahatchee River runs here. But that’s not all—oh no. There are more than 400 miles of canals here, making it the city with the most miles of navigable waterways in the world. Where Boating Life Is The Good Life You can easily hop right into a boat and cruise the canals or head straight out to the Gulf of Mexico via the Caloosahatchee River or the Matlacha Pass.

Facts About Destination

The water park with its giant water slides, pools and ponds offers variety for the whole family and is a high light during your holiday.

We learned lots of interesting facts and anecdotes about this genius inventor. Shopping / Outlet In and around Cape Coral, there are many shopping malls and the largest is the Miromar Outlet Mall with more than 120 brand-name manufacturer stores. You’ll find Abercrombie, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo Ralph Lauren, Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Guess, and Bose. This is just a small selection of what to expect here.

Matlache Pass – Nationalpark To unwind, to observe animals (manatees, alligators, and different species of birds) or to paddle a kayak through the channels, a trip to Matlacha has it all. Turner River Road Turner Road is the secret place to see alligators in natural wildlife. The Turner Road is an unpaved road that connects I 75 to 41. The channel next to it is the play area of hundreds of alligators. Never get out of your car !! Everglades Nationalpark The Everglades National Park is a vast marsh grass and mangrove area. Easy to explore by airboat or Swamp-buggies. We recommend the small airboat tours up to about 6 persons with private guides the will give you a lot of information and interesting facts about the Everglades.

Area Information

Fort Myers Beach Whether by car or boat about 30 minutes away. Beautiful beaches, shopping and restaurants. If you want hustle and bustle and Beach its right here.

Sanibel Island and Captivia The islands with their beautiful beaches invite you bathing for sunbathing, shelling or watching the spectacular wildlife such as manatees, dolphins turtles Pelicans or a sea eagle. But surely you will discover a lot more. Pine Island This island is in the middle of the intercostal waterways of the Gulf of Mexico. It is surrounded by mangroves and also attracts even the locals and is definitely worth a detour.

Precautions

Over the past few years, there have been some ocean-related deaths along the gulf coast. Please pay attention to the flags on the beach. If there is a RED FLAG do NOT swim. The rip tides (rip currents) have been very strong. If you by chance do get caught in a rip tide, swim parallel to the beach. And one last precaution: sharks are in the gulf. I have never seen any on our beaches, but I have seen them in the bay. Use common sense whenever in the water, especially in the evening (when sharks do most of their feeding).?

Lifestyle

We have adult and kid’s bikes, boogie boards (wood), plastic boards, beach chairs, sunshades, 1 beach stroller, 1 baby stroller, 3 fishing rods, 4 beach mats, beach toys, 1 red cooler box, 1 blue cooler trolley, 1 crib, 1 baby seat, toys, board games, DVDs, Airhockey, table tennis and billiard table

Perfect


The home was perfect for us. Very clean, comfortable beds, plenty of room, totally outfitted kitchen and a beautiful setting looking out the window which overlooked the pool and canal. We would of liked to re-rented for the following year but home was already booked.

Perfect


Perfect house, location and amenities. Couldn\'t ask for more!!

Great Family vacation in "Old Florida"


Great spot for a family reunion. Although we were just 3 couples, the home can accommodate an additional 8 people since it had an additional 2 bedrooms up stairs each containing 4 twin beds. The house was great. Sitting on dockside was pleasant. I recommend this home.

Great stay at beautiful property


We had an awesome vacation at this beautiful home which ticked all the boxes. The home manager Dorit was very nice and communication with the owner was very easy. The pool was heated and the spa was so nice to enjoy. Definitely a house to recommend.

The property was just as described! Everything was there and very well taken care of.


This is a really nice place with lots of room. Everything was as described in the listing and the owners were wonderful to work with. The property management group was very responsive to any and all requests. We felt welcomed from the time we arrived till when we departed! The house and grounds were in fantastic condition. This property sits on a wider than normal canal so it really makes for a great setting. You won’t be disappointed with this rental. I know we enjoyed it!! Thank you so much for making our vacation a great one!
