DorianeBeautiful house and space, perfect for a weekend getaway for two couples and their kids. The kids had a blast in the pool and even enjoyed the hot tub with us. But please note that the hot tub is chlorine-based and if you are at all sensitive to chlorine you can’t turn the bubbles on as it will make you cough! (Happened to the kids and our friends)There are two paddle boards available as well as kayaks! I believe this was missing in the description so I figured I’d make a note of it here for people who love paddle boarding (we do, but didn’t have the time to enjoy them during this trip).We forgot the sound machines for our toddlers but all rooms were equipped with sound machines which was a really nice touch.I would have loved to see more toys for younger kids (2-4 years old), but other than that our stay was perfect! Highly recommend.

DavidLoved everything pool hot tub location spotless clean and tidy comfortable didn't want it to end.Jen recommended a boat rental company worked out like a dream walked straight out the back to our beautiful big pontoon boat loaded up and out to Sanibel on a nice relaxing no parking no traffic adventure. Doesn't get any better. Thanks Jen just what we needed.

LesleyWe had a lovely stay. House is clean and welcoming. AC works well and beds are comfortable. Pool and hot tub were great. Loved sitting on the patio and watching all sorts of boats go by. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking and we appreciated the stocked coffee station (ground coffee and Keurig pods). Host was extremely responsive and helpful. Neighborhood is quiet and clean, felt very safe. Great location, would definitely recommend!

AmyJen’s house perfectly fit the needs of our family group. The amount of space was great, furnishings were comfortable, with a “FL feel” of lightness and warmth. The location allowed us to do several day trips, and comfortably walk around the neighborhood. Being on a canal was very fun- watching boats go by, and fishing.

MichaelVery nice home in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, right on the canal near the river, with pool, hot tub, and kayaks. We enjoyed our stay and Jen communicated promptly and clearly throughout, making everything very easy.Plenty of room to move around in the home, especially the main area with spacious kitchen and a great view out back.Highly recommend. Price was very good for the value.It didn't hurt that we had 2 spectacularly sunny, warm days for early January. And our daughter saw a playful dolphin swimming right under the boat dock.

WilliamMy family of seven had a great time at this property - pool and spa were terrific, house was clean and spacious, and our host Jen was very responsive and accommodating. We rent a boat every time we visit Cape Coral and this location is ideal for getting on and off the river quickly. Thanks for a wonderful week!

CathyWe gathered our family from 4 different states at Jen’s house. We loved the spacious home and with two toddlers, we felt very safe. It was clean and had everything we needed to feel at home. Jen was very accommodating and easy to get a hold of with any questions. The location was perfect to explore the area. Loved Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and Sanibel island. We will definitely be back this way again.

LaurieWe really enjoyed our week at Jen's house! Very clean and all sleeping areas as expected. Kitchen is well stocked. Great location with easy access to restaurants, stores, etc within 2-3 miles. Also central location for driving north for shark tooth hunting at Manasota Key and going south to visit Sanibel and other beaches. Beautiful view of the sunrise. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the enclosed pool & hot tub area. Would definitely love to stay here again.

SarahThe home is very nice, functional, and practical. It is much larger then the pictures. House was very clean. Location is great. The view and canal area were the best part. Pool area was just right. We fished from the dock and had tons of pool time. Manatees swam right by. Had tons of bath towels, beach towels, and water toys and gear. Also had basic fishing poles and beginner gear. We left an extra pole for use of a medium quality. enjoy! Teens enjoyed kayaks and paddle boards. House was well stocked and a full kitchen. Could have used one more roll of paper towel and sugar upon arrival for spices, nothing a walmart run couldn't fix. Near Ford's Garage and Merricks fishtale house for some good restaurants. Would stay here again. Thanks Jen, who was very responsive.

RobOur stay was incredible!!! Jen did everything possible to make our visit an enjoyable experience. She even went as far as purchasing/delivering a brand-new mini fridge for us within hours of telling her the regular fridge wasn't working properly. The next day she had the service guy out to fix the regular fridge. Bottom line, the property is beautiful, the location is exceptional, and host was super accommodating.

AllyThis home is absolutely amazing for a family vacation. Even though a rainout canceled our boat rental one day, there was so much to do at the house, like kayaking and fishing off the dock, that we were all entertained and happy. The pool temperature was terrific (even after the rain) and the hot tub was perfection. Everything in the house is high quality and well maintained. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a great meal. We would definitely stay here again.

MaryjoFirst off - Jen was the perfect host. Very accommodating and response time was almost immediate! When there was an issue with the pool heat, Jen offered to call me and walk me through what needed to be done!Now the house - perfect!! Great location and lots of room for a family or a group of friends. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook and grill. So many towels, both for the pool and bathrooms - we really had everything we needed. Pool was the perfect temp and plenty of floats for everyone staying there. You are right on the canal so it was great to just sit and watch the boats go by. HIGHLY recommend this place and hope to return next year!Thank you Jen for a perfect vacation!Than

ColeWhat a great place.We came to fish … a couple dads and their 12-13 year old boys. We had an amazing trip overall, but the location was great and offered the perfect place for respite. Between the pool, more fishing in the canal, poker and plentiful sleeping accommodations, the place fit our group of 7 perfectly.Mistakes were not made.

RichardThe property was great, well cared for, extra clean and perfect for a delightful stay. The pool heater had an initial issue but was quickly resolved by Jen when we gave her a call. Highly recommend this property if you are looking for the perfect location in Cape Coral/Fort Myers area.

AngieGorgeous house with amazing views. We watched dolphins swimming by us in the morning, loved the hot tub, there was SO much room for 7 friends to relax and unwind…and the neighborhood is stunning. This house is even more magical in person than the pictures could ever capture! And Jen was amazing when we had a few questions for her. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

BrendaWe had a wonderful stay at Jen’s place! The house was clean, well stocked and Jen was great to work with. Our highlights were the pool, fishing and spotting dolphins right from the dock. The location is also perfect! We rented a boat for a few days and enjoyed exploring the area that way too.

AmyPictures did not accurately show property. The property was in need of many maintenance repairs. The listing shows beautifully redone bathrooms and kitchen but leaves out a lot. Immediately there was a strong smell of mold when entering the home. The cleaning that was done prior to our arrival was subpar. The pool was cloudy and green despite the pool guy dumping a lot of chlorine. Pool was freezing half the time. It would barely warm up to be used half way through the day. Hot tub was full of sand at the bottom. Outdoor furniture was not usable. Sliding glass door locks (that led out to pool) where broken so the solution they came up with was these cheap plastic door stoppers. With our young children this felt very unsafe. Pool deck had 3 different layers of chipping paint and old Christmas lights hanging that did not work. The bedrooms were not welcoming. They had no dressers or tv's just a hard bed. Overall our 3 week stay was not as expected especially for the price paid.

JulieJen's home was lovely! Very spacious, clean, lots of comfortable beds, kitchen was well-equipped, hot tub was nice and hot, pool was warm! The view of the canal was beautiful, and the neighborhood was safe and very nice! The only thing I would change to make it even more perfect would be to add room darkening shades in the bedrooms. That's only because we had some little ones that wake with the sun! Thank you so much for a wonderful time, it was so relaxing after a busy cruise.

DavidGreat host. Jen is friendly, thorough and responsive. House is spacious - perfect for family vacation. Even had a pocket door in hall separating 3 bedrooms from main part of house for those wanting nap time. Master bedroom is on otherside of living area - nice! Master bath/shower are really nice. Great well stocked kitchen. Large heated pool and hot tub area. Right on canal next to river in nice, quiet neighborhood. New grill. We found Cape Coral more affordable than Ft. Myers for accomodations. Only small drawback is crossing bridge to get to Ft. Myers and Sanibel every day for excursions. Most trips took 15 - 30 minutes depending on what we were doing and traffic. Plenty of shopping and restaurants in the area. Met and exceeded expectations. Would stay again. Thanks Jen!
