This is our own house named Caribbean Island Dolphin View, one out of 3 Caribbean Island houses we planned from scratch. We built it in 2014.
You will love this vacation home as it offers everything you might even think of. It is the largest out of the 3 houses of the Caribbean Island Class.
You will be delighted like all guests have been about the breath-taking blue-colored unique pool- and the huge sundeck on a length of 82 ft 4“ . Just the pool and whirlpool are featuring lots of fun on a a total length of about 54 ft – this is really a pool you can use for swimming, relaxing and splashing.-------------
Our Caribbean Island Dolphin View is located in the well-known Gold Coast Estates, where you find a very nice neighborhood due to the fact that almost every house is on a saltwater canal.
The Southwest exposure of the pool and spa and as well the lanai enables you to have great views above the wide saltwater canal and even intersecting canals and granting great sunsets. The pool area is screend in.
This house is ideal for boaters. You reach the river in only 2 minutes.
Should you bring your own sailboat or rent one, no problem. The huge dock and direct access allows even bigger sailboats to dock at the premises. The nice Horton park is directly on the river and offers several boat slips and less than 1 minute from the house by car and by boat it is about 5 minutes.
If you like to watch wildlife this house is the one to rent! You have the chance to watch dolphins all year round, in the spring huge tarpons who obviusly like this place, stingrays are seen often in May - August and last but not least you can watch Florida Manatees during the winter months almost daily but also year round they show up in at our dock. Our guests love to see our swimming guests.
The name Caribbean Island Dolphin View was already found when we were at this lot the very first time, as a school of dolphins were playing “in our backyard”.
Our house design, which we planned ourselves from scratch supported by a very experienced architect, came out very well. The house was based on very elaborate scheme. It is not too ornate or pretentious, but an exclusive upscale custom vacation home overwhelming ourselves and also our customers due to the sophisticated pool / whirlpool design. We offer your superlative family vacation home!
We offer on the oversized premises of more than 12,939 sq. ft. an outstanding vacation home of approx. 3,069 sq. ft. under air featuring 4 suites all located ground floor. Suite Antigua and Suite Barbados are both similar in size, also regarding the adjacent master bathrooms. The Coca-Cola Suite offers a pool bath and Suite Route 66 is also en-suite von its own bathroom. 3 of the 4 suites are located with direct access to the pool area and each bedroom is equipped with king-size beds. Suite Route 66 offers 2 extra long XL twin beds, which we can convert for you to a king-size bed as well. Big flat-screen-TVs –60” Sony HDTV in the king-size suites and a 46” Samsung in Suite Route 66, are all connected via cable and have internet access. The Caribbean Island Dolphin View is superlative family destination and offers a 5-zone A/C, i.e. each and every suite and also the living area can be individually be controlled.
The house was built with ICF blocks (ICF=INSULATING CONCRETE FORM), which gives greater comfort due to stable temperature throughout the home.
ICF walls reduce air infiltration by 75%: The effects of hay fever, asthma, and other airborne allergies can be greatly alleviated. The house is quieter.
ICF walls allow less than one-third as much sound to pass through than regular frame walls. A house built with ICF block is considered to be earthquake, tornado and hurricane resistant. A study of Texas Tech University proves that wall built with Insulating Concrete Forms withstand the damage and projectiles launched by tornado or hurricane strength winds
Pool, Sundeck and Lanai
A daydream in blue – The Caribbean Island Dolphin View offers a unique pool- and sundeck on a length of 82 ft 4“ and the infinity edge pool including a disappearing edge whirlpool of a total length of about 54 ft. A sun shelf of the size of approx. 18 ft / 5.50m width and 6 ft / 1.80 m length and a shallow water of 6” / 15 cm offers plenty of space to splash, play and relax. There are hurricane-proof shutters, which offer you the opportunity to protect the lanai on windy or cooler days and also from the sun. You are able to look to the outside but not from the outside to the inside and grant you privacy. The pool area spreads out on 2 levels. On the upper level there is the pool and spa and sundeck and as well an outside shower next to the entrance to the pool bath. On the lower level there is a walkway along the silent waterfall. At one end of the walkway there is a fire pit and a nice group of chairs and a love seat with a cocktail table, where you may relax and enjoy the nice warm air. From this level you get over a pavered walkway down to the captain’s walk and to the boat dock.
Important features on 1 view
Roomy pool area (approximately 2,154 sq. ft./ 200 qm) on 2 levels with Infinity pool / infinity spa with a very good view above the canals and surroundings as the evaluation of the lot was especially increased when the house was built, just to be able to get such an incredible view

Lanai can be divided from the pool area by using electrical roll-down hurricane shutters, which give you privacy as you can look to the outside but not from the outside to the inside. The shutters protect the area in case of hurricanes, but also against sun, and wind and if there are cooler days you still are able to sit outside. There is no need to put all outside furniture into the house, just on the lanai - protected from the shutters in case of any storms or hurricanes.
The Baby-Barrier Fence also divides the lanai from the pool area, to avoid that little children are able to access the pool

There is a pavered walkway from the lower pool area to the 103.5 ft. long captain’s walk and to the big boat dock of a length of approx. 65 ft / 20m, where you may moor a boat of up to 80 ft. The huge front part of the dock is ideal to catch the sun and there is also a nice tiki hut to relax. Enjoy the sunsets with an ice cold Coca-Cola or another good beverage and watch the dolphins or fishes play. In front of the boat lift is a little observation deck to watch the fishes at night when the fish light is active and attracts the fishes.

Living Area
Great room, kitchen, dining room and game / poker room belong to the open style living area. The tasteful rooms are matching perfectly regarding furniture and colors.

Mosquitoes are very rare in our area - even on hot days with high humidity – different compared to the Southwest of Cape Coral. Due to this you will see a lot of pool areas without any pool screens in this area. We have made the experience over many years that there are no "No-see-ums" (these are tiny bugs that even get in through a pool screen) in this part of Cape Coral.
Safe
There is a waterproof fire-resistant safe keeping your valuables.
Safety Standards
Built according to the latest hurricane standards, electrical roll-down hurricane shutters on the lanai – can be used also for privacy or to protect the area against, sun, wind or cool temperatures
ICF-block built home: considered Tornado proof and best system against air pollution
First Aid Kid is located in the master bathroom

Electric roll down shutters at the lanai. Very comfy when you wish to get full shade or if there are cooler days and you still wish to eat / sit outside. the shutters provide full privacy, noone can see from the outside through the shutters, but you can still see the pool and canal.
Why Kids Love It
There are often dolphins and manatees (they appear especially in the cooler months) - often with little ones - in the canal and below the dock. Huge tarpons can be watched frequently.
A daydream in blue – The Caribbean Island Dolphin View offers a unique pool- and sundeck on a length of 82 ft 4“ and the infinity edge pool includes a disappearing edge whirlpool of a total length of about 54 ft. A sun shelf of the size of approx. 18 ft width and 6.3 ft length and shallow water of 6” offer plenty of space to splash, play and relax. The deepest part of the pool is about 6.3 ft., at one side of the pool, when you enter it over the steps next to the spa it is less deep, just about 3 ft and you can use about half the size of the pool for water volley, as everyone is able to stand on that part

From the moment we walked in the door we thought we were at home. Everything was amazing and the pool and the dock, the sitting area by the pool, there was so many areas to sit and just relax. It just was great. My granddaughters swam night and Day every day and enjoyed the pool area so very much. The house had everything you could imagine and we we needed nothing as far as things to cook with and have. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your home for our family vacation!

Thank you for your review and your stay at our home. We are glad to know you had a good time and a memorable stay. Our guests are very pleased with our location, giving you the opportunity to watch wildlife daily. The Caribbean Island Dolphin View was named when we saw the first time the lot overviewing the wide canal. Realizing dolphins were in the canal, we decided we wanted to become their neighbors. We are lucky to have manatees, tarpons, stingrays, turtles, and different birds passing by.
