Our ENDLESS SUMMER RETREAT is a BOATERS DELIGHT! Minutes to open water without any bridges. Tie up your boat or utilize our 8000 pound boat lift with your own or rental boat. What we love about our home is that you feel that you are at THE BEACH as soon as you walk in the front door! Our home is LIGHT AND BRIGHT with lots of windows, beach decor and high ceilings. We have a NEWLY RENOVATED home with a white kitchen and main bathroom. Our home provides TWO LIVING SPACES that helps a family have separate areas to do different things in. Our family room is packed with board games and a smart TV, whilst the lounge has relaxing coaches and another smart TV. The KITCHEN IS OPEN PLAN with a large island where everybody comes together and makes memories. The MAIN BEDROOM and BATHROOM IS situated on the the opposite side of the house from the guest bedrooms and second bathroom that makes for ADDED PRIVACY! Our LANAI IS PROTECTED from the prevailing winds and can be used even if it's windy and rainy. Our BIG ROMAN STYLE HEATED SALT WATER POOL is great for swimming laps as well as lounging on the floats!! We have three large bedrooms with 2 COMFORTABLE KING BEDS and in bedroom 3 are two single beds that can be made up to be a king bed if necessary. The main bathroom has a WALK-IN SHOWER and the second bathroom has a bath/shower combo. All bedrooms have BIG WALK-IN CLOSETS. The sofa bed/couch in the family room can sleep another adult or 2 children. We also have a single bed ottoman in the lounge or family room that can be used for another person or child. Because of these options the home can sleep up to 8 people if needed.
We live in our home for 7 months out of the year so the HOME HAS EVERYTHING you will need. Spices, coffee and and all condiments are here already so less to buy when you come on vacation. We love living here and enjoy sharing our beautiful home with you.

Sanibel beaches have some of the BEST SHELLING in the country.
One of the most unique opportunities here in Cape Coral is that you can TAKE YOUR BOAT and go and have dinner or drinks at MANY WATERSIDE RESTAURANTS in Cape Coral and Fort Myers or Fort Myers Beach.

About the host: We have lived in mostly the colder parts of the US and came to Cape Coral for a needed vacation in the colder winter months in 2021. We enjoyed it so much that when we heard a friend of a friend were selling their property, we immediately jumped on the opportunity. We are originally from sunny South Africa and are truly enjoying being back in the heat!

Why this property? Having a house on the water is a dream come true for us. This home presented an opportunity to renovate and bring our own style to the home. We love Florida and love living an outdoor lifestyle.
