Playful Pelican 3/2 waterfront pool house w. direct access to Gulf SW Cape Coral
Ideal location by land or water. Minutes to Tarpon Point Marina, Cape Harbor and downtown Cape Coral. 15 minutes by water to the Caloosahatchee River and 30 minutes to Gulf. We have remodeled the kitchen and are continuing to make improvements throughout the house. Bring your boat and enjoy everything SWFL has to offer! We have a completely open pool and a large yard to enjoy. We supply a pair of bicycles and other fun items to make your stay even more enjoyable. We LOVE making our guests happy, so please offer suggestions throughout your stay. Our house is a 1 minute walk from Rotary Park - one of the best parks in the Cape and is located on one of the best walking/biking paths in Lee County. Come, check us out - you'll be happy you did. *Please note that the garage is being used as storage - it is not available as part of the rental. There is ample space in the driveway. **We recently installed a (removable) child gate and 2 security cameras for the pool area. The security cameras are at both ends of the pool deck and point away from the house (toward the pool and canal). These features are no substitute for monitoring any kids (or adults) that are on the pool deck.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a coffee maker.

Not as advertised but still beautiful
The house itself was nice inside. Nothing above average. The house stays pretty cool. The pool isn't protected from sun or bugs so that was a big big disappointment. Owner also advertised as having boats and bikes available which were however at an extra cost that wasn't listed on the original ad. Had I not quickly picked last moment i definitely wouldve chosen something else but I guess it wasn't terrible.

Relaxing Vacation
Playful Pelican is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to all the amenities SW Florida has to offer. We appreciated the simple traffic near us, the abundance of walking paths, the heated pool, and the restaurants nearby (not walking distance by close car rides). Corey responded within minutes to any texts we sent and was very accomodating with any requests. I would highly recommend Playful Pelican!

We had a nice stay but I didn’t like the cameras by the pool and we got bit up real bad from the noseeums. We used spray and yard guard. Not sure what else we could have done to prevent it. Overall very nice house and very clean. Which i appreciate.

Great Stay!
We had a great time at the Playful Pelican. The kitchen is well-stocked and made cooking for Thanksgiving easy. There were a few blown lightbulbs that need to be replaced, and there didn’t seem to be a way to turn on the pool light. Other than this few inconveniences, our stay was fabulous.

Perfect Getaway
This property is more than it says. It’s beautiful, up to date, everything inside and out is perfect. The house was very clean, had everything we needed. The pool was perfect! We saw two dolphins swim by, and we were able to catch several fish. The teens were able to enjoy the kayaks which aren’t stated, nice surprise for us. We are considering this exact house yearly. It’s very peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. We can’t say enough good about the house.

A great week
To start the weather was fabulous which led us into the pool w/out the heater. The solar cover did the job. We had easy access to all the major highways which led us to visit Naples & Marco Island. There are great waterfront restaurants in the area also.

All the comforts of home
The house was great! The house had everything to be very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Paper products, bath tissue and several spices were a pleasant welcome. The pool was great as was the location. The home had great walking paths, parks and shopping within a very short distance. We totally enjoyed our stay!
