We cannot say enough about this property, the owners and the property manager who helped us while we were there. It made for one of the most memorable and enjoyable family vacations we've ever had.
Michael was extremely responsive to all of our questions, concerns, etc. ahead of the trip. This made my husband and I very confident and comfortable traveling for the first time in a year. The pictures and video online are an EXACT match for what this property is like in person! Everything we needed was right there: fully-equipped kitchen, linens, cleaning supplies, pool and beach toys, guides to the area, high speed internet and streaming services. ...and much more that I'm likely forgetting. We even utilized the grill for the best surf 'n turf dinner.
Full disclosure - I am a neat *freak*. I always go into a vacation expecting to clean to some extent immediately upon arrival. It was not necessary here! I did clean up after ourselves a bit every day, but that's to be expected. I had everything I needed including a floor steamer, swiffer, cleaning spray, detergent, etc. Other than food, we purchased very little. Some additional detergent and paper towels - but my husband would tell you that's more a reflection of me than the house :)
The neighborhood was peaceful, and the neighbors we encountered were very friendly. We rented a boat (@ cape coral boat rentals) for the week and had no trouble tying it to the dock (it was too wide for the lift). We would pack a cooler and venture out to different islands every day. Our daughter could not get enough of the pool. She was in it first thing in the morning, and after each daytime outing. We were either in there with her, or enjoying sitting along side the pool's edge.
The area was lovely, with all the essential stores nearby. We highly recommend strolling around the Cape Coral Waterfront area, which has a couple of restaurants fit for couples or families. This is also where the boat rental operator was.
I must commend Sabine as well. She was so friendly and helpful both before and during our trip. We knew ahead of time that we wouldn't be arriving at the house until nearly 9pm. I worked with Sabine to arrange for an Instacart order to be delivered prior to our arrival. She was there to receive it, and had everything put away by the time we arrived. That was a huge help. She was lovely!
We had the best experience and cannot wait to work with these owners again!
