This home rental is a true gem. The furniture is extremely high quality you can tell that the owner really took the time to furnish the house. By far this is one of the best VRBOs that I have stayed at and I have stayed at hundreds of them. It really makes a difference if the furniture has been purposely bought for the house . The space is wonderful The dock is so nice to fish from. The pool was perfectly warmed .The communication with the property manager was awesome he came and checked in on us when we got here he was such a gem. The property is very conveniently located to Publix. Plenty of high quality bath towels beach towels. The kitchen pots and pans everything you could need. This will definitely be a vacation home that I bookmarked and come back to as often as my vacations permit.

Excellent property

Home was in good repair & excellent condition, except for the pool lining surface which is flaking/eroding away; my only problems were as follows: The closed caption does not work on the TV, although I had the settings on the TV set to closed caption; looking on the internet, the problem seems to be with the internet/cable tv supplier; the second was the couch/sofa which might have been the most uncomfortable I ever experienced when watching TV; they are in excellent condition but most uncomfortable. Two lights on the lanai and the pool light are burned out; I mentioned this to the property manager, which he agreed to; he said the pool light has been burned out for 10 years. Other than that, excellent; location is great.

Nice Stay at Lazy Pelican

The Star of this Property is the “Lanai/Pool” that faces East and you can watch the Sunrise w Coffee every morning. The Dock & Deck on the Canal was also very nice and could fish or just sit and watch the Wildlife in the Area. A very nice Pool that gets shade from the Sun in the mid to late Afternoon. Property is on a Main Street but was mostly quiet at night and overall the house is nice and we got lucky w the weather. If you stay at this property you may want to stop at Dollar Store as we had to purchase extra TP, Paper Towels, Bar Soap, Shampoo, spices for cooking. Overall we would certainly consider this property to stay in the Future.

Great place to stay in Cape Coral!

great shape. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you’d need to cook and grill. The grocery store is .5 miles from the house with lots of great restaurants nearby. We used the home as a great base for day trips and enjoyed the room to spread out and recover from the Florida heat. The swimming pool was a great bonus for lazy afternoons at home. We would love to visit again.

Wonderful Canal Front Home.

Great home with a pool on intersecting canals. Check in was perfect and easy. The owners and the property manager were great to work with and I was even able to check in a day early when my schedule changed. House has everything you need and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal. The grill outside was also a bonus. I was gone a lot during the day but enjoyed sitting by the pool at night and doing some fishing on the dock. I caught some very large fish right next to the dock. The view was great and it was very quiet outside. Thanks again for the great stay. It was a great home for me to explore the Cape Coral Area Michael

This is a nice VRBO property

This property was well equipped and furnished. We never saw the manager when we arrived or when we left, despite what the instructions said in the literature at the house. We were a little worried about the rules regarding electricity use, so we took a photo of the electric meter on arrival and departure. The house had not been cleaned when we arrived, but a call to the manager took care of that and it was completed while we went to dinner. It was nice to have access to half of the garage for the car. The kitchen was very well equipped compared to the many VRBO's we stayed at, and there were plenty of towels, etc. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Pelican Paradise

This was the perfect house for a one month stay. The location was great. Very close to the best part of town - best restaurants/farmer's markets, and the bridge to Ft Myers and Sanibel Island. The house was sparkling clean and had every possible amenity you could want. We loved sitting by the pool in the morning and watching the sun rise over the beautiful canal. We are big bike riders and the house is close to many bike paths, and we loved all the burrowing owl nests close by. The house is beautifully decorated and Hartmut and Sandra were so easy to work with and very flexible (we had to change our dates twice). We stayed here while we were rebuilding our own home on Sanibel Island that was decimated by Ian, and it was such a pleasure to come back to this comfortable house at the end of each day. We didn't get to use the pool as we were too busy, but it was heated and sparkling clean and looks out over the canal. Thank you Hartmut and Sandra (and Siggy) for a perfect stay.
