Electricity is included for up to 100kWh per day – anything above that will be charged at $0.14/kWh; basically, don't abuse it and we won't charge for it.
Pool - The Pool filter is set to automatically run, and heat as follows: April – October – 10:00am till 7:00pm with the temperature set to 86 degrees. November – March – 10am till 5pm; with the temperature set to 86 degrees. Exception: Thursday is the scheduled day for pool cleaning, usually in the afternoon hours between 1:00pm and 4:00pm. If chemicals need adjusted, you may need to give them an hour or two to circulate before swimming. Please be advised that weather and temperature patterns may have an impact on the above and management will do its best to ensure that things are maintained and monitored as close as possible to the schedule above (*temperatures less than 65 degrees could hinder the heating of the pool to the specified temps - the spa may take longer to heat up as well – *NOTE: the heat pump will not run/function at temps of 55° or below) - please inquire about any special requests prior to booking.
Security Cameras - There are 2 ADT monitored security cameras on the premises; 1 is in the front of the home facing the driveway and the other is in the back eave of the home and monitors the pool water level and boat dock (the pool/hot tub is within the coverage area of this device). The ring doorbell is located at the front entrance facing the front walkway and does monitor the front door activity. (4) Ring on demand/motion sensing cameras are located on the pool equipment, boat lift, driveway, and trash container areas – this helps to monitor and maintain said items on an as needed basis. "The ADT cameras cannot be shut down or turned off. All external cameras are disclosed in our descriptions and intended only for the safety of the home itself as well as all guests who stay there.” Upon arrival we may count the number of guests entering the home and ensure occupancy limits are followed; just as a personal greeter would do. Cameras are not viewed while guests are vacationing at the home unless as follows: 1. We are expecting service providers, which guests would also be made aware 2. We receive messages from neighbors about excessive noise, too many vehicles or pets on the property. Cameras are in place for our guests' security as well as the security of our home. Turning off, adjusting, or blocking the cameras is a violation of house rules and guest will be asked to leave the property immediately" VRBO patrons, If you should have additional questions or concerns about the security of the home be sure to contact us before instantly booking the property.

Best overall experience
This property exceeded every expectation, in every way. So much time and effort has been put into making sure that anything you could ever ask for from a vacation property is supplied. From the kitchen supplies to the pool toys, literally everything you need to enjoy a vacation is there. Truly a five star experience and set the bar for any other short term rental property.

Great Stay!
This property was wonderful. We have stayed at many VRBOs and this is one of the best equipped houses we have stayed at. It was really nice not to have to worry about buying beach chairs and floaties to use. Communication with the owner was prompt. I would definitely stay here again.

Family Memories
We had our kids and grandkids visit during our 3 week stay. We rented a boat for a week which was great. The layout of the house worked well with 4 families. The living area has great space. The kitchen cookware etc... was great. Everyone loved the pool area. Also had some great fishing off the dock. We had an awesome vacation here.

Amazing vacation!
This home is everything you could want and need in Florida! It has all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. The location is very convenient- there's a main strip right near with anything you may need & there's many beaches within an hour drive of the house. Even if you don't want to leave the house they have so much for entertainment. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a beautiful vacation spot!

Family Holiday Vacation 2023
This was our first time in Cape Coral. We took our adult children (18-23) to escape winter in Ohio. The house completely exceeded our expectations. Spotlessly clean and spacious. We enjoyed all of the amenities including the kayaks, fishing, bicycles, and pool/spa. Going to the beach was a breeze with the beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler. We had a great adventure packed week. We highly recommend this house.

Best place ever!
This is the best Vrbo property we have ever rented. It is fully stocked and truly felt like we were at home here. We are hoping to visit again and tell all our friends that this is the absolute best place! The kids enjoyed being on the water and caught fish and crabs right off the dock. We spent most of the week out on the patio enjoying the beautiful view and pool. There were many games and activities to keep our 3 kids busy. If on the fence about renting this place just do it!!

Lovely Canal Front Gem
We stayed for a week in July for a baseball tournament. This home was centrally located in a safe neighborhood. Michele has packed the home full of all the necessities. The home was super clean. The beds are comfy, linens and towels are of good quality. Shuffleboard was a huge bonus for our two teenage boys. As much as all of that was great…it’s the pool, spa, outside bar and dock that push this home over the top. We would 100% book again. Thanks for the great stay!

Truly Paradise!
We've stayed in Cape Coral for 8 years and this is the best house we've had! The layout was great for 8 people, we were never in each other's way. The house is very nicely furnished and well stocked with everything we needed. The pool area is beautiful with plenty of seating in the sun and shade to keep everyone happy. We enjoyed breakfast on the lanai every morning! Would definitely recommend this house and would definitely stay again. Michele was very quick to respond to the few questions we had.
