Sanibel Romantic Getaway
Nancy was very communicative from the start. Her space was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed being a two minute walk to the beach without having to cross over any major roads.

The Pina Colada at the Anchorage
Had a great stay! It is well positioned in a less crowded area a short walk to the beach. The place was clean, comfy, and looked just like the pictures. Check in and check out was easy. No issues, would love to visit again sometime :)

Beach Paradise Inn A
We throughly enjoyed staying with Craig. The apartment was exactly what our family needed. Craig was very helpful in seeing that our was enjoyable.We look forward to staying here again the next time we visit.

2nd Floor Beachfront Condo Sanibel Harbour
This place is an absolute gem. The location is perfect if you are looking for something more quiet and low key. The beach and pool are steps away for your enjoyment. The entire building is meticulously taken care of and clean inside and out. The pool and beach area were constantly being checked on by staff to be sure everything was tidy and as it should be. The unit has everything you’ll need including very comfortable seating on the screened in porch for a break out of the sun or a morning coffee. AC was nice and cold after a long day out in the sun. The beds and pillows were exceptionally comfortable. Check in was a breeze and the unit was very clean and ready for our arrival. I especially appreciated the easy checkout instructions. I would definitely stay here again.

‘Coconuts on the Beach’ House + Hot Tub
Perfect, pet friendly, beach cottage a half block from the pristine sand of FMB; Brand new and uber clean. While the island itself is still under construction., we enjoyed our time at this small slice of Heaven.

Life's a Beach Cottage
Super location. So quiet. Very close to the beach. Alan was so responsive and understanding of our flight changes. Lots of local recommendations.

The "Tommy" Cottage, 400 yards from The Gulf!
I enjoyed my stay

Villa Summer By The Sea
Good location. Nice place. Lissette was very responsive with a minor concern we had that actually resolved itself but she sent maintenance anyway just to make sure we were taken care of. We would definitely love to come back.
Private Cape Coral vacation rentals

Sunset Hideaway
Andrea is an awesome host! She was very accommodating with our schedule, and the home was super clean, very thoughtfully laid out, and very well stocked with everything we needed.

Waterfront island private suite with private pool
Liz was very accommodating when we needed to switch days. Very responsive and gave wonderful recommendations. The place was peaceful and pool was relaxing. We enjoyed our stay.

Dream Villa with Private Pool/Spa
Cape Coral was a bit further from beaches than desirable, but the house more than made up for that to enjoy our warm/sunny stay in Florida. Pros: Outside area (pool/hot tub, large table, games for kids) with a huge sliding door to the living room/kitchen were perfect for 6 adults + 4 kids. Felt very comfortable with the cost. Andrew & Michelle were responsive with every question we had. Cons: lack/lower quantity of some common items: paper towels, toilet paperb, Kleenex, air hockey didn’t work (we replaced), pizza cutter, beach towels, etc. Would highly recommend for a large family focused on quality pool time, a very nice home and responsive hosts.

Waterfront Villa Island Breeze heated pool & spa
This house was everything that we could have asked for. Unfortunately, we came when the weather was in the 50s but the heated pool and spa definitely made our time worth it. I was continuously impressed with the things this house offered. As a mom of 3, I’m already overwhelmed with the things I need to pack for my family. This house had it all. It included: beach toys, pool noodles, mini paddle boards, a pack and play (I believe, I didn’t look too closely), a beach bag, bikes, a high chair, umbrella, etc., everything you need to stay here! In addition to the wide variety of items, the hosts were very responsive. The only thing I did not enjoy was the firmness of the king bed but I also know that’s something you can’t win with everyone. I also would have appreciated a carbon monoxide detector but we ended up bringing our own. I would still choose to stay here aside from that :) My kids loved the “pool house.” We hope to be back again!

Whole cozy house for group of 5
Jose was a wonderful host, responded quickly and the house was beautiful, and clean. And the pool was warm, private and also clean. Just note that the “crib” is a pack and play not an actual crib. We were provided a bassinet on the second morning although our baby was too big for the bassinet.

Pelican's Palace
Heated pool..... need I say more :). Look for the burrowing owls in the front yard. The house is beautiful as it is. The owner mentioned a pending remodel, I can only imagine how more gorgeous it will be.

SUNSHINE or SHADE Custom home- 5 Star outdoor life
This place was AMAZING and exactly what we needed. The house was clean and the backyard was our own paradise. Marty was very responsive and a great host. Will definitely book again!

The French Villa with heated water pool
Everything was superb. Check-in, communication with the owner and staying. Property is exactly as described. Well done.
Cape Coral fishing vacation rentals

Matlacha Paradise! NEW Waterfront Home-Free Kayak
We loved our stay at this cute spot right on the canal in Matlacha! Restaurants close by, excellent breakfast spot and terrific seafood at the Blue Dog. Micelli’s was great for live music, only a quick drive away. We were unable to use the kayaks provided as getting in/out, off the dock would have been challenging for us less than flexible folks! It sounds like there are plans in place to make it easier to use them, which will be great. The hosts recommend near by kayak outfitters for the on water experience and even offered to reimburse some of the cost of the rental which was truly appreciated to make up for our inability to use the provided kayaks. Very relaxing vacation!

Tropical Villa Rosas on the water
My family had the privilege of staying at Rosy's house at the end of March. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the beauty of the home, especially being right on the water. The home was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. Our daughters loved the welcome snack basket, pool, and pool toys. The pool area was beautiful and we enjoyed it each day of our stay. My dad loved to read on the deck by the lake. We've stayed a few times in Cape Coral, and this has been our favorite house. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Michelle, the host was also very responsive and helpful. You will absolutely love staying at this house! Thanks for the wonderful stay, we can't wait to come back!

D'Marsha
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Delroy’s house. It was brand new and was extremely clean. It was bright and beautifully decorated. The office space was fantastic. We really liked the neighborhood. It was quiet and walkable. We really enjoyed sitting outside under the covered lanai watching the wildlife in the canal. Delroy was also very responsive. We highly recommend and would love to come back next year.

Waterfront Pool Kayak bikes fish from dock
My family and I had a very relaxing and comfortable stay. Carina made sure that everything that will be necessary for our stay was available in the home. The home was clean, spacious and comfortable. I enjoyed going Kayaking with my husband and just relaxing by dock. I recommend this place if you're looking for a spacious clean place that doesn't break your budget. We will definitely visit again ❤️

“Cape Paradise”Waterfront.GulfAcc.Jcuzi.Heat Pool.
We had a great week at Marcella & Mo’s house. Plenty of room for 6 adults (3 couples), kitchen was well stocked with pots & pans, plates, glasses etc. We enjoyed the lanai with the pool and hot tub a lot. We went for bike rides and took the kayaks out, all in good condition. We had fun exploring the area and most things are just a short drive away. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent again!

Your new Matlacha Office Space
Such a peaceful spot. The water was calm and so nice to use the kayak on. Private, sweet, and homey. I had the perfect stay. Thank you, Lisa for hosting the perfect little spot for me to look back upon and smile at the memories I made here 💞

Ground Floor Lake-Front Condo on 5 ac private lake
Beautiful home and Cynthia was very friendly and responsive! It was the perfect location for our dog show and it and she was very accommodating of our dogs and even had a crib for my five month old daughter. ❤️

Ocean/Lakefront Heated Pool-Jacuzzi/Private Dock
Susan's home is outstanding both outside and inside! Inside was very clean, spacious and comfortable for our party of 6 adults, 1 teenager and a baby. The kitchen is beautiful, spacious and well stocked for all of our needs. Very comfortable beds, sheets and bathroom towels. Susan has impeccable taste and attention to detail in making her home very inviting for our family gathering. The outside is fabulous. The yard has many colorful flowers and very well maintained flower beds and palm trees in the front, side and backyard. The pool and hot tub are very clean and nice. Susan's backyard is very unique with a large dock, that extends into the river. Our family enjoyed evenings fishing off the dock which Susan has illuminated with many beautiful lights. There are many swinging and other chairs for our enjoyment. Susan promptly responded in person to any request and went out of her way to make our family's vacation memorable and special. Susan's home is a diamond in the rough!

Your guide to Cape Coral
All About Cape Coral
With more miles of navigable waterways than any other city in the world, Cape Coral, Florida, is crosshatched with canals and channels that interconnect its seaside community. Established in the mid-20th century, the area teems with shops, markets, restaurants, and brewpubs that line Cape Coral Parkway, the city’s main thoroughfare; parks, nature preserves, and wildlife sanctuaries surround the city to the north and west along the Gulf shore.
The area is beloved by sailors, featuring several public boat launches and yacht clubs, as well as plenty of opportunities to rent motorboats and jet skis for a fast-paced adventure and kayaks and paddleboards to explore at a more leisurely pace. While there’s a plethora of tranquil green spaces to choose from in the surrounding region, Cape Coral itself offers family-friendly parks including Matlacha Pass Aquatic Preserve and Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, where locals head for hiking, kayaking, and birdwatching. The city’s sole beach, palm-fringed Yacht Club Public Beach, features a community pool, a boat ramp, and a pier for sunset strolls.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cape Coral
Cape Coral is a great place to soak up some sun between October and May, when there’s less rainfall and temperatures are milder. During the summer months, the mercury can spike, but visitors will find more space at the beach. Visit in winter and spring to join in with some of Cape Coral’s most popular events, including the Cape Coral Festival of the Arts (January) and the Sounds of Blues and Jazz Festival (March). In April, the city hosts its famous Cardboard Boat Regatta, a whimsical festival where participants build and race water vessels made from cardboard — with varying levels of success. During the city’s 4th of July festival, Red White and Boom, Cape Coral Parkway is lined with craft, art, and food vendors, and a large fireworks show lights up the city.
