Book your vacation now and get ready to relax, enjoy & make new memories! Check-in begins at 3:00 pm so you can begin your vacation earlier than most.

Your next vacation will have something for you, your friends and the whole family to experience! Whether it is the ability to dock the boat(bring-your-own or rent) during your stay, fish from the large captain's dock, kayak in the canals, enjoy the heated pool or visit multiple nearby beaches, there is literally something for everyone. You will only be 12 minutes from the Cape Coral Yacht Club that has a small beach area and awesome restaurant called The Boat House. The larger beaches like Ft.

Just step outside one of the 2 sliding patio doors to bask in the sun or swim in the heated pool that is fully screen enclosed! The pool(solar & electric) is heated between 86 to 88 degrees year-round without needing to pay additional pool heating fees. The Eastern and Southern sun exposures on the pool will get you that glowing tan throughout the day. When you are wanting relief from the sun, retreat to the wonderful shaded area under the large lanai to stay cool. Take some time to walk around the outside of the property to appreciate the colorful plantings & white sea shell beds. Also, try to discover which palm trees inspired the name Palms Over Water.

The inside of the home was redone and refurnished in 2021 to give Palms Over Water its modern, coastal contemporary vibe.

About the host: Hi, my name is Brad! My wife and I live in Lakeville, MN with our two boys and two Yorkie dogs. I have been a licensed Real Estate Agent in Minnesota for the past 20 years. My wife Jill has been a special education school teacher her whole career.

For over a year we were looking for a new opportunity for our next real estate adventure that included the dream of a vacation spot. Jill researched to find the perfect city that our family would enjoy a few times a year and would also be an attractive vacation spot that others would enjoy. There were a lot of great options in different parts of the country but we kept coming back to Cape Coral. It offered a variety of beautiful beaches and warm weather...sign us up! What stood out most to us about Cape Coral was everything we kept hearing and reading about the fun, laid-back, boating life that Cape Coral had to offer. At that point, we knew that we had to find a home on a gulf access canal in Cape Coral, FL. It has been an amazing experience and we are loving every minute of it!

Why this property? MISSION:
Our mission is to offer our guests an attractive, comfortable, and clean stay while vacationing in Cape Coral and at our vacation rental. With our home, you will find a peaceful retreat without the clutter but still have all the amenities of being at your own home. We have weekly services pre-scheduled for the pool and lawn. We also want to make sure we limit any potential for pests and bugs and we have a quarterly service for that as well.

We enjoy the process of working with people directly. We like meeting new people and talking with people on a more personal level. We have met and connected with so many wonderful people already just by taking this leap of faith. Florida truly has some of the nicest and most welcoming people around.

We find value in the efficiencies of today's technology like texting, emails, and websites like this, but we also enjoy getting on the phone with you to truly get to know you and what you are looking for from your next vacation rental. Thank you for considering booking with us. We sincerely appreciate it and are grateful for the opportunity to host your next vacation!

~ Brad & Jill Lacher

Guestbook comments from the host:

My family had an incredible stay in this home!! The house was beautiful, spacious and very clean. My kids loved the warm pool! We only cooked a few things but were incredibly impressed with the amount of pots, pans, dishes and even spices provided!

The bedrooms had nice beds and plenty of blankets. The master bedroom is beautiful and on the other end of the house which is a great feature. The shower had great water pressure in the master!

There were plenty of toys for the pool, some games for the kids we enjoyed outside as well. The grill was perfect for cooking and very clean. We even were able to borrow two chairs and a soft cooler for the beach. This was a great perk to not have to buy those or bring from out of state.

The location was a 2 minute drive to a grocery store, shops and restaurants. The street was very quiet snd we saw a few people but never any noise outside to worry about. This house made our stay so great and we can’t wait to come back in the future!!

The host provided clear and easy instructions for checking in and out. He did touch base with me the first day to see if everything was up to our standards but did not bother us, which is a compliment and relief compared to other hosts. Five star for the house and host all around!


Feb 2022

Palms over water was a great place to stay. There are many amenities and a well stocked kitchen. We loved having a heated pool in December! Brad was an excellent host and responded rapidly to any communications. There was plenty of space and everything looked like the photos.


Dec 2021

Our stay was one of the best vacation stays we have ever had. The owners of the property are extremely cooperative, caring and kind. The house was beyond clean and so convenient to so many shops, restaurants, beaches, and fun spots. Everything there was in tip top working condition, even when a light burned out, the owners had a repairman there the same day! Waking up each morning, and sitting by the canal having our morning coffee was such a delight. We enjoyed the convenience of fishing whenever we wanted, and the amenities offer everything we needed to do that and more. I just can't say enough about our stay. When traveling back to Cape Coral, I no longer have a decision to make as to where I will stay. Palms Over Water Villa has won my heart!


Nov 2021

Brads home was more than what we expected from the pictures. Home was clean, easy to navigate, fully stocked with all the essentials for your next getaway. 5 min drive from the local shopping center which was a plus and only a short 25 min drive to Ft Myers beach. The welcome book was a thoughtful touch to help us navigate the local restaurant/fun scenes. Brad was prompt to answer any questions we had along with being very accommodating to our request. Highly recommended!!


Oct 2021

This is a lovely and spacious place foe the whole family. A short drive from many beaches and other family activities. Host was easy to communicate with. My family and the dogs had a great time.


Oct 2021

I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful home! The house is spacious with a beautiful outdoor living area and pool, my family and I had some very special memories and moments at this property and we are extremely grateful that Brad hosted us! You will love the peaceful doc on a canal, Pool, location and interior decorations! I highly recommend this property and the host was very kind and patent.


Oct 2021

Great house, very clean, pool is awesome and it's close by stores, very quit and the neighbors are friendly. I would definitely recommend and will try to stay here again next year.


Sep 2021

Very good place to relax!


Aug 2021

We have stayed at many different types of condos, hotels, and vacation rental homes. This home by far is the best we have stayed at. The home has all the amenities you could need or think of. The home and property are immaculate from front to back. We wanted a relaxing trip and this home was it. There are many places to eat, shop and play nearby this home. It is located in a very clean and very quiet neighborhood. The home is again, immaculate, and has more than enough space to be comfortable. My wife and I decided to eat out only one time while we were visiting, and the appliances, amenities, plentiful dishes and cookware were very nice and also clean. The home was completely ready to welcome us and come in ready to enjoy our vacation. The outside area is very nice with the screened in patio with an inviting pool that was also clean and ready for enjoyment. The owners are very responsive, friendly and proud of their property they offer for others to enjoy. Depending on what you or your family and friends are wanting to do, there is many options from only minutes to about 30 minutes distance from the home. We will definitely look into the availability of this home again in the future. We highly recommend this home for an excellent vacation home. This home, property and area were beyond expectations. The whole home is more than comfortable. If we could give more than the 5 star rating we would give it the highest possible. We can't say enough about our stay and the home. Thank you to the owners and people you have taking care of your property. It shows the care you all have for yourselves and others.


Aug 2021

Amazing property, very clean and spacious. Centrally located, just 4 miles from the beach. The host very nice and understandable. We had a great stay. I recommend this house for a family.


Aug 2021

The house is wonderful and just as it appears in the pictures. Everything is clean and new and comfortable. Plenty of bath and beach/pool towels as well, which we really appreciated. Brad (the owner) was tremendously responsive, communicative and helpful on everything from initial questions about the home to the check in process to texting back very quickly about some questions that came up during our stay.


Jul 2021

We stayed here for 45 days (June-July) and Brad went go beyond taking care of us! The place is immaculately clean with all the stuff we need. It’s very accessible to Fort Myers and is located in the sought after Del Prado blvd. The water access in the backyard with a well maintained pool was very relaxing. Every week a pool guy cleans and a mower cuts the grass. We were a party of 7 and we were comfortable. Brad, was very quick to respond if we need anything. Thank you Brad for an amazing stay!


Jul 2021

Stayed 9 nights in July at Palms Over Water. The house was perfect for our family of 6. The home is located ion a very quiet street. There is plenty of privacy. The layout of the home was great. Pool was absolutely amazing. The home had all the amenities to make the stay perfect. Brad was great to deal with the entire time. The home is located close to many restaurants and a short drive to the beaches of Sanibel and Capitva islands. This home is highly recommended and we will be back next time we are in the Cape Coral area. Book your stay at palms over water, you will be pleased.

Relaxing

House is in a quiet neighborhood. Close to shopping and restaurants via car. Well kept property and the owner is very responsive to any needs you may have. I stayed here in October 2022 and September 2024 and would definitely stay here again in the future.

Everything and more!

Our stay at Palms over Water was exactly what we were hoping for and so much more! The home was not only beautiful but immaculate and very comfortable. We loved the pool and all the extras especially the kayaks and fishing rods! It was so peaceful and yet all attractions and shops were very close by. Thank you Brad for an incredible vacation! We hope to come back again!

Super nice house

We were two couples and really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was very easy. The house was very clean. Nothing was missing. Communication with Brad was very good, he was always available and helped us with all our questions. The outdoor area was also very nice. Bicycles and kayaks are available free of charge. We would love to come back and can only recommend the house!!

Year 3 Stay

We just finished our third year staying in this wonderful house for the winter. Year over year Jill and Brad continue to make upgrades to this great house. Jill and Brad are great hosts and if you need something they will do their best to get you what is needed. I would recommend this as a place to stay when you are looking for a home away from home.

Really Really Really Nice!

This is a beautiful home, nicely decorated. It is clean and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for our family of six to spread out. Kitchen is on the small size but it is modern and fully functional and met all of our needs (we cooked one meal each day). A quality Weber Grill did a great job on New York Strip Steaks and some red snapper! The pool was great - kids spent a LOT of time in it. Lanai was a wonderful spot to hang out and do nothing. Location is excellent - a full-service grocery store, plus Wal-Mart, Walgreens, etc., are within five minutes. Only downside is we didn't have enough time to enjoy all the ameneties (i.e. we didn't get a chance to fish and only had time for one brief kayak trip). Oh, and the traffic is ridiculous, but that's SW Florida for you! Day trips to Audubon Corkscrew Center in the Everglades, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island - all within an hour drive. I would recommend this to my friends with NO reservations.

Wonderful stay!

We had wonderful stay at the Palms Over Water Villa! This was easily one of the cleanest and fully stocked rentals we've stayed in. Brad was a great host - lots of information provided upfront and he responded quickly with questions. The rental was stocked with fishing equipment, kayaks, beach equipment (chairs, coolers, sand toys, etc), towels, pool toys, bikes, and kitchen items, which included many spices (huge bonus if you plan to cook). The rental was centrally located with easy access. The outdoor space was nice furnished with a fan, tv and large pool. We would definitely stay here again, if ever in the Cape Coral area again.

Three Month Vacation Year Two

We had the pleasure of spending another 3 months in Jill and Brad’s beautiful home. They are excellent hosts and supply the house with all of the amenities you need to feel as if you are at home. The house was clean and the pool was warm what more can you ask for.

Relaxing Family Get Away

My family and I had a great time at Palms Over Water! The house is decorated cute and beachy! Everything was very clean and stocked with what we needed. We had plenty of towels and clean sheets. We especially loved kayaking, the iguanas were the highlight. We caught a fish off the dock and were able to enjoy the pool. The bikes were a nice touch and very comfy to ride. We would definitely go back and recommend this stay to family and friends. The host was also great and very responsive.

Everything you need!

We recently stayed at Brad’s vacation home and were very happy with all it had to offer. Decor is very tasteful, Florida beach theme. House is very spacious with a lovely pool and sitting area down on the canal. Brad has anything you would possibly need at his rental. The only thing I missed was a more spacious lanai for lounge chairs around the pool. Brad was very attentive and always ensuring we were happy. We would most definitely rent from him in the future.

Perfect family vacation home!

This is a beautiful home that was perfect for our family reunion. We were three couples, one child, with room for all. The pool and outdoor area is where we spent most of our time. There is plenty of seating and pool toys! Our fisherman enjoyed the dock and the friendly neighbors who gave suggestions on bait, critters to look for and other fishing tips. A bonus of this home- the feathery neighbors! The sub species of burrowing owls that Cape Coral is known for. Watch for them as you drive down the street. Brad has a guest book with local info that was helpful in finding outings/restaurants that were enjoyed by all. We would definitely stay here again!

2022 Three Month Winter Vacation

We had the pleasure of spending three months in this lovely home this winter. The house was very modern with all of the necessities needed to make it feel like we were living in our own home. There was a fully equipped kitchen and gas grill which made it easy to make breakfast, lunch and dinner. The house was very clean which made it easy to maintain during our stay. Some of the best times were relaxing in the large heated pool or sitting on the dock after a hard day on the golf course. The house is centrally located making it easy to get too many of the beaches and attractions in the area. Jill and Brad were excellent hosts and followed up to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We would highly recommend this house for your next vacation if you are planning a visit to the Cape Coral/ Fort Myers area.

Our second home! Best stay ever!

We stayed here for 45 days (June-July) and Brad went go beyond taking care of us! The place is immaculately clean with all the stuff we need. It’s very accessible to Fort Myers and is located in the sought after Del Prado blvd. The water access in the backyard with a well maintained pool was very relaxing. Every week a pool guy cleans and a mower cuts the grass. We were a party of 7 and we were comfortable. Brad, was very quick to respond if we need anything. Thank you Brad for an amazing stay!

Best stay ever!!!!

Our stay was one of the best vacation stays we have ever had. The owners of the property are extremely cooperative, caring and kind. The house was beyond clean and so convenient to so many shops, restaurants, beaches, and fun spots. Everything there was in tip top working condition, even when a light burned out, the owners had a repairman there the same day! Waking up each morning, and sitting by the canal having our morning coffee was such a delight. We enjoyed the convenience of fishing whenever we wanted, and the amenities offer everything we needed to do that and more. I just can't say enough about our stay. When traveling back to Cape Coral, I no longer have a decision to make as to where I will stay. Palms Over Water Villa has won my heart!

Beautiful Vacation Home and Great Location!

Spacious, open, modern home with a huge pool. This was the perfect getaway for our girls trip. Brad is a very attentive and accommodating host. Answers questions or concerns almost immediately. Property is very clean and well maintained. Three bedrooms and two baths were more than enough room for all of us. Ample closet or storage space. It would also be a great place to bring the family. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The kitchen was fully stocked. Pool toys galore and paddle boards for water activities. Enjoyed drinking coffee out on the dock overlooking the canal. Lots of wildlife! Just a short drive to many of the beaches that FL has to offer. Overall POW was the perfect place to relax with great friends! We'll definitely be back!

My wife and I came to the area for a week of vacation and relaxing.

My wife and I have visited many places over the years. We have stayed at many different types of condos, hotels, and vacation rental homes. This home by far is the best we have stayed at. The home has all the amenities you could need or think of. The home and property are immaculate from front to back. We wanted a relaxing trip and this home was it. There are many places to eat, shop and play nearby this home. It is located in a very clean and very quiet neighborhood. The home is again, immaculate, and has more than enough space to be comfortable. My wife and I decided to eat out only one time while we were visiting, and the appliances, amenities, plentiful dishes and cookware were very nice and also clean. The home was completely ready to welcome us and come in ready to enjoy our vacation. The outside area is very nice with the screened in patio with an inviting pool that was also clean and ready for enjoyment. The owners are very responsive, friendly and proud of their property they offer for others to enjoy. Depending on what you or your family and friends are wanting to do, there is many options from only minutes to about 30 minutes distance from the home. We will definitely look into the availability of this home again in the future. We highly recommend this home for an excellent vacation home. This home, property and area were beyond expectations. The whole home is more than comfortable. If we could give more than the 5 star rating we would give it the highest possible. We can't say enough about our stay and the home. Thank you to the owners and people you have taking care of your property. It shows the care you all have for yourselves and others.

Absolutely Perfect

Stayed 9 nights in July at Palms Over Water. The house was perfect for our family of 6. The home is located ion a very quiet street. There is plenty of privacy. The layout of the home was great. Pool was absolutely amazing. The home had all the amenities to make the stay perfect. Brad was great to deal with the entire time. The home is located close to many restaurants and a short drive to the beaches of Sanibel and Capitva islands. This home is highly recommended and we will be back next time we are in the Cape Coral area. Book your stay at palms over water, you will be pleased.

Excellent Stay at a Beautiful Cape House!

We can not say enough great things about this gorgeous vacation home! The home was incredibly clean, the layout was great, the beds were extremely comfortable and the home was very well stocked with towels, dishes, pool toys etc. We really loved the modern decor and "beachy" colors. We traveled with our two kids who really enjoyed the sunshine and teal rooms, they LOVED the pool (we could hardly get them out:) and they really enjoyed calming down at night in the comfy living room with the Smart TV. Which was awesome to log into our Netflix and Amazon. My husband and I loved relaxing on the outdoor sectional watching the kids swim and having a cocktail at night. We spent most our time around the pool! We also had so much fun with the ring/string game by the pool! Hours of laughs and entertainment! The location is excellent. We rented a car and could get to any restaurant or shop with ease. We also rented a boat one day and cruised to Fort Myers Beach. We would stay at this home time and time again! The owners are also very responsive and wonderful, ensuring our stay was perfect. Thank you Palms over Water for an unforgettable vacation!

Relaxing Getaway

Everything was perfect! The house is beautiful inside and out. It was so spacious and clean inside and the outside is well laid out. The screened in pool was icing on the cake! The kids enjoyed daily dips and the pool toys that were available to use. The house is also uniquely situated on the canal, so we were able to bring our Key West 219 along with and dock it for the entire weekend. Such a lovely ride through the town via canals out to the river (about 20min). From the river we were able to ride to the various islands and restaurants. We highly recommend the Boat House tiki bar and grill. The rental had everything you could think of available for use and the WiFi was fast. The neighborhood is very quiet, even on the holiday weekend. If you’re looking for much needed time off, this is the place to relax. Brad was very receptive and easy to get in touch with; even checked in to make sure everything was good. I’d highly recommend this home to rent out.

Relaxing Getaway

Such a lovely home in a very quiet neighborhood. The home had all the amenities you could want at your disposal. Being on the canal, allowed us to bring our boat and not have to fuss at the boat ramps. Having the screened in pool was delightful for the whole family, especially the kids. We will definitely be back. Loved the home! Loved the town!

Top-notch home for your Florida vacation

The first thing you notice walking through the door is how clean and well decorated this home is. It is the perfect place for a couple, a family, or a group of friends, as it very spacious, with all the amenities you would need for a Florida vacation. The pool is an excellent place to start and finish the day, after visiting the many locations that Cape Coral has to offer. With so many restaurants and stores near by, you will not go hungry. Cooking at the house was easy, as the owners have thought of everything that you would need. We spent some time kayaking the canal system with the provided kayaks, which made for some great sightseeing right from the dock.I will come back to Palms Over Water Villa without a doubt! It is an amazing home away from home.

We had a great time at POW Villa. Beautiful property. This house was really amazing: new, modern, clean, great lay out, and has everything you could want. The beds were super comfortable, bathroom had plenty of towels, and the shower pressure was very good! The pool was very spacious and overlooked the canal. We spent hours per day in the pool.
