"This was definitely a 5 Star Vacation Home. The home is very clean with everything you need to make you feel at home. The Home and area are very beautiful and quiet. The perfect place to relax after a day at a Beach. A short travel to Sanibel Beach and Fort Myers Beach gave us the ability to visit both beaches during our stay.

Excellent Escape from Winter

Everything was very positive, as expected. This was a return stay at this property and we have already reserved it for next year. Location, cleanliness, condition, and comfort were all excellent. Well equipped. Pool experience was excellent. Communication with hosts/owners was excellent. They were genuinely interested in ensuring our stay was a positive experience. We use VRBO all the time for travels. Highly recommend this property.

5/5 Perfect Location!

My husband and I traveled over the holidays to find nicer weather. This property was perfect and just what we were looking for! It was great to utilize the outside spaces and enjoy the heated pool! The location is close to anything you could need, but also pretty private, you can forget how centrally located you are. Rich and Jane were friendly and very helpful. We will be back!

Great Stay for RHWS Baseball Tournament

We stayed for two weeks and the Boat House in Cape Coral was great for us - good restaurants nearby for dinners, easy drives over to Fort Myers for the baseball games. Rich does a great job communicating with us as needed, but everything was fine with the property - especially the heated pool. Was great to be back for the Roy Hobbs tournament & look forward to returning next year and finding more Cape Coral spots to hit.

Summer Vacation 2023

We were displaced from Captiva due to hurricane Ian. We found this wonderful property. Our stay was perfect. We brought our boat and having the canal out back was extremely convenient. We had some friends visit during our stay and it very comfortable. The house was spacious with all the comforts of home. The updated bathrooms were very nice. The pool was just right after a long hot day on the water or even for a chill day staying home. Being on the end of the canal gave us a sense of privacy. Rich and Jane were gracious hosts and communicated quickly to anything we needed. We definitely will visit again.

A Short Getaway From Winter

The owners, Rich and Jane were very good host. They greeted us with a bottle of wine, which was a very nice touch. They answered all our questions and were very helpful. The only bad thing was that there was no hand rail. My wife was unable to use the pool because of her neuropathy in her feet. I had a bad time also getting in and out of the pool because of my balance. Rich had told me that he would install the handrail before we got there, but the contractor was unable to get it in. That is why I am giving a four star rating.

Cape Coral Boathouse

Very pleased with home and amenities. Furniture very comfortable and well placed in main room. Enjoyed grilling by the pool. Home and lanai areas are very private from surrounding properties. Have already booked to return next year. Out hosts were very accessible and friendly. Thank you.

Exactly what we wanted

This year for the winter holidays, we wanted to get away from the cold winter and hectic routine, so we opted to stay here in Cape Coral. Our stay allowed us to spend quality time together in this very comfortable and well-located home. I was able to easily make some home cooked meals as the kitchen was very well-equipped and the entire family spent most of the time outside in the warm pool. The layout of the home is very functional and there was nothing that we needed that was not available. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, yet located close enough to groceries, shops, pharmacies and restaurants. Some homes in the area are still repairing damages to their rooves and fences from Hurricane Ian but this house only had minimal damage to the lanai which did not affect our stay. Everyone in our family had the rest and relaxation that we were hoping for. Thank you to our hosts!

Great vacation … even amid the devastation of Hurricane Ian

We were supposed to stay in the Fort Myers Beach area because we were coming to play in the Roy Hobbs Baseball Tournament. Not that I am happy that Hurricane Ian caused so much devastation, but I am sure glad we had the opportunity to check out other options. Rich and Jane are amazing and the house was very comfortable. The neighbourhood sure did take a hit with houses extremely damaged. We are extremely satisfied with our stay … the pool was amazing for our needs … the community felt very safe … the house was lovely … the hosts were very accommodating, communicative and friendly. If we could choose more than 5 stars, we would.

Home away from home

Welcoming from the minute you stepped into the house. There awaiting us was a personal note and bottle of wine from the owners, Rich and Jane, greeting us and this made us feel right at home. The house is located on a tranquil and quiet neighborhood; centrally located to shops, dining, beaches and close by to our friends and family. It felt like our home away from home. Property very well maintained from the manicured lawn, paver patio and Lanai. The beautiful surrounding palm trees just adds to the majestic landscaping. Smart TVs throughout including the pool area with Access to Amazon Prime, Youtube TV and Netflix. Beautiful immaculate swimming pool; very tranquil and private with a resort like feel. The interior of the house is very spacious and clean. You will be able to lounge and nap on the soft comfortable reclining leather sofas while you enjoy a good movie and/or watch your favorite shows. The owner Rich visited us on the first day to welcome us to his home and show us the lay of the land and how to access the Smart TV, turn on the pool lights, lanai fans, etc. First class service through and through. We highly recommend this home and we will stay again! The owners by far were very attentive to make sure our stay was the very best it can be.
