Our guests will have access to the entire home, garage, and outdoor spaces (excluding the boat, boat lift, Blackstone grill (gas grill is available) and kayaks). Guests are welcome to moor boats at our seawall. Cleats for mooring boats are available but you should bring bumpers and life jackets or ensure they are included with your rental.

I will be available 24/7 through the online booking platform application. I am not local to Cape Coral, but my local support network is available at all times if guests are in need of anything during their stay.

There is ample parking available at the home in the large horseshoe driveway and room enough for one vehicle in the garage (no larger than a small SUV).

There is a fence that can be set up around the pool if young children are staying and all guests should use caution walking the seawall. Rocks are present under the water along the seawall and the drop into the water varies in depth depending on the tide. Depending on the time of year you are visiting, be alert for wildlife and insects native to sub tropical regions on land and in the water that can be dangerous.

The pool is heated in the winter and cooled in the summer and is large by Florida standards. We provide swimming noodles and beach towels and they love jumping between the hot tub and pool. The underwater lighting at night makes any time a swimming time!
