Relax and kick back in your Cape Coral vacation rental
Sunny, friendly Cape Coral is a smart choice for those who want a quiet escape away from the hustle and bustle of the major Florida hot spots. Cape Coral is situated nearby Fort Myers and right on the Gulf of Mexico, so you won’t have to drive too far for those warm waters. Next time you’re looking for fun & sun, skip the traditional beachside hotel and opt for one of our Cape Coral vacation rentals instead.
When staying in a Cape Coral villa rental instead of hotel, you’ll have much more space and privacy, plus cost savings when booking a property for a large group. Some of our rentals even come with special amenities like a backyard pool, washer/dryer units, and bicycles. Whether you’re looking for a super-sized modern villa with an indoor pool, or a cozy beachfront bungalow, you can find it on our site.
Cape Coral, Florida travel advice
Renowned Gulf Coast beaches, verdant golf courses and family attractions like the popular Sun Splash Family Waterpark make Cape Coral an appealing destination for visitors. With more than 400 miles of canals (more than Venice, Italy), boating, fishing and watersports are favorites among those spending time here. Walk through a nature preserve, treat yourself to find dining, or shop away the afternoon when the sun gets too hot.
Climate
There’s no bad to visit with average temperatures in the 80s, but this town is dubbed the “Winter Wonderland” since so many northerners come down to visit when the weather turns cool. There’s an average 70 degree daytime in the winter, with little to no precipitation. Contrast that to the summer months where it is hot, humid, and there’s a short thunderstorm almost every day. Outdoorsy travelers love it here as it boasts over 350 sunny days per year!
Top activities and attractions
Cape Coral is renowned for its dazzling Gulf Coast beaches, including the Yacht Club Beach and the beach at Four Freedoms Park. Both are public, open to visitors year-round, and boast pristine sands, stunning views, and easy access to playgrounds.
As we mentioned, canals cut through the city in many places. You can easily hop right into a boat and cruise the canals or head straight out to the Gulf of Mexico via the Caloosahatchee River or the Matlacha Pass. It's simply heaven for boaters.
Escape from the beach and head to Sun Splash Family Waterpark is a massive recreation center with all sorts of wet fun, including pools, splash pads, water slides, flume rides and more.
Gas up the rental car and take a short day trip to nearby Sanibel Island and Fort Myers to explore other cities and enjoy their sandy beaches.
At 365 acres, Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve is the biggest public-accessible nature preserve in the city. Hike the scenic trails, stop by the visitor’s center and the Veterans Memorial Area and rent a kayak to explore from the water. Keep watch for eagles, ibises, herons and other birds of prey at the Rotary Park Environmental Center where bird watching towers make spotting your favorites easy.
The area's cultural assets include the Historical Museum, the Art Studio, the Cape Coral Art League, and the Cultural Park Theater and Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, which features live art performances. For more quiet activities, the Cape Coral Historical Museum features exhibits that look back at the area’s history. If you’ve left the kids at home, make an outing of a tour at the Wicked Dolphin Rum Distillery.
Annual events
This city has its share of annual events that draw a crowd. For example in November, the Coconut Festival showcases local bands and restaurants, plus carnival rides and fun contests for the kids. It’s a small town fair with more cotton candy than you can handle. A month later, in December, the Festival of Lights offers train rides for toddlers, holiday themed decorations, and a beautiful lights display. When the weather’s warmer, the Red, White and BOOM celebration showcases one of the most amazing fireworks displays in the country, as well as plenty of vendors, attractions, food, and patriotic, family-friendly activities.
