Fabulous pool and home for family time
We had our 5 year old grand daughter traveling with us. We really wanted a pool at the home we stayed at. This pool was so perfect we spent two days of our trip just hanging out at the house together. It was very clean and set up was great for adult children and grand daughter.
Six of us enjoyed our stay! Modern, well-appointed, roomy house in a friendly waterfront neighborhood.

Family Vacation
We had a multi-generational family in town for a wedding. The house was very cute and super comfortable for our group. The kitchen was well stocked with all kinds of dishes/silverware. We did not use the pool or hot tub since we had little free time. Would definitely rent the house again.

Ahhhmazing shower
The property was clean and recently renovated. The shower/tub was hands down the best part of the entire stay. The world would be a better place if we all began and ended our days with this shower!

Lovely space
Came for a long weekend to be close to my daughter’s baby shower. It was just right in every way. The neighborhood is quiet, the house is cute. The linens are special And every bed was super comfortable. Anything we needed we found. We also spent a lot of time on the lanai and hanging in the pool. A lot of thought and care has been put into this Verbo address. We were all very happy that we stayed there.

Serene Oasis
What a wonderful stay we had at this home! This lovely
pool home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, making it the perfect place to relax. It is beautifully decorated, while still keeping comfort in mind. The master bathroom alone is enough to make you want to book it. I truly have renovation ideas because of it's luxury. The check in was a breeze and the owners were very responsive with any questions that we had. There was a large driveway for parking, with several grocery stores and restaurants just minutes away. Make sure to check out the owners recommendations for restaurants. We loved The Boathouse Tiki bar & Grill and Jonesez BBQ.

Loved our stay!
After having another Vrbo cancel the day before my flight from NY, I found this listing and I’m so glad I did!! My family met up there from 3 different states and everyone was raving about the place! We had plenty of room for everyone, the kids of all ages (adults too) loved the pool and hot tub! Thoughtful touches meant the world, there’s games, fishing gear, sunscreen, pool toys and yard games kept everyone entertained. The extra sitting area/living room meant the kids could play games while the adults watched a movie. The huge yard was amazing and the kids loved it. The lanai is where we spent most of our time and it’s set up to be very comfortable. Communication with the owner was easy, and they replied in a very timely manner too! Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with my family and if we come back to the area I will definitely look here first!

Fabulous Home!
This was an amazing oasis for us! There's nothing better than floating in a beautiful pool and seeing boats/water while doing so! The outside space behind this house was so serene- we spent the day in the pool/on the loungers/even down on the dock to watch the sunset! So lovely and well cared for. Our hosts went out of their way to answer any questions and were so responsive! The home itself was so comfortable and perfectly laid out that we never felt crowded. The master bath was AMAZING and the pictures really don't do it justice. You will not be dissapointed in this beautiful home and I would book this anytime I was in the Ft Myers area! Best of all- you are not constantly paying tolls everytime you leave the house! Something I've run into many times when staying in Cape Coral.

While there was a small check-in issue when we arrived, Rachel quickly resolved the problem and made it right. The property has nice subtle touches - large, quality beach and bath towels, brand bath and shower products, lovely interior decor and lighting, and is on a large quiet lot with nice landscaping. While Ft. Myers Shores is further away from the beaches than we realized, this property is a great spot that exceeded expectations. We would recommend the property.

Great property, super clean and amazing host.
I booked this property for a family trip with my husband and 2 older teens. We were going for Spring Training and the location was excellent less than 30 minutes to the park. Everything was great. The property is super comfortable and nicely laid out. There are 2 living room spaces with plenty of seating which made it great for the kids to play games and the adults to relax.
Rachel was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. She has the house supplied with everything you could need. Plenty of dishes, outside games, board games, coffee, spices etc. She even had a sunscreen and aloe available. You literally just need to bring your toothbrush and toothpaste because everything is there for you.
The pool area is excellent and the outside seating area really comfortable.
We loved the dock and rented a boat from Sunny Cape Homes for a day. They delivered and picked up right to the dock at the house.
I would go back to any home Rachel and Kyle list in a heartbeat. We were kind of sad to have to leave
Thank you both for sharing your home.
