Striking European-style home w/ private pool, hot tub & river access via dock
Summary:
Caloosahatchee Getaway
The Space:
Vacation Like Royalty in This Canal-Front Cape Harbor Estate
Welcome to your luxurious escape in the exclusive Cape Harbor community, where European-inspired architecture and stylish stone accents set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Ideally situated just moments from the waterfront restaurants, boutique shops, and live entertainment in Cape Harbor, this canal-front estate also places you within easy reach of the Westin by boat and only a short drive from Fort Myers, Sanibel, and some of Southwest Florida’s most picturesque beaches. Whether arriving by land or sea, you're perfectly positioned for adventure and relaxation.
Step outside to discover the home’s private backyard oasis, complete with a dock that offers direct access to the Caloosahatchee River in just minutes—perfect for boating, fishing, or scenic cruising. Spend your days lounging poolside by the private heated pool or enjoying alfresco meals from the fully stocked outdoor kitchen, featuring a gas grill, wet bar, and mini-fridge. As the sun sets, sink into the hot tub under a canopy of stars or unwind with a drink in the shaded canal-side seating area, complete with chaise lounges and a comfortable sectional for relaxed gatherings.
Inside, the elegance continues with soaring cathedral ceilings, custom arch moldings, and granite finishes throughout. The indoor living space offers a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication with plush seating, a large TV, and stylish décor. The chef’s kitchen is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances and abundant counter space, while the second floor is exclusively dedicated to the main suite. This serene retreat offers stunning canal views, a spa-inspired en suite with a jetted tub, and space for yoga or remote work. Three additional guest bedrooms and two well-designed bathrooms complete the downstairs layout, ensuring comfort and convenience for everyone in your group.
Things to Know
Guests who would like the pool heater turned on should contact VueStay at least 72 hours prior to arrival. The pool heating fee is $32 per day, plus tax. Pool heat is available October 1 - May 1.
Before Adding Pool Heat
We recommend checking the Cape Coral weather forecast shortly before your stay when deciding whether to add pool heat to the reservation.
Electric pool heaters rely on the outdoor air temperature to warm the water and are generally capable of heating pool water to approximately 20°F above the outside air temperature under favorable conditions.
During periods of cooler weather, ( typically in December, January and February and particularly when a cold front moves through Southwest Florida, the pool may take longer to warm and may not reach or maintain 85°F.
Important: Electric pool heaters may not operate when the outdoor temperature is approximately 55°F or below. Because pool heating performance is affected by outdoor temperatures and weather conditions, a specific pool temperature cannot be guaranteed.
Average Monthly Temperatures in Cape Coral
Southwest Florida enjoys warm weather throughout much of the year, but temperatures can vary considerably during the fall and winter. Historical averages can be helpful when planning your trip, but we always recommend checking the current forecast before deciding whether to add pool heat.
Please see the chart below:
Month Average High Average Low
January 74°F (23°C) 56°F (13°C)
February 76°F (24°C) 58°F (14°C)
March 79°F (26°C) 61°F (16°C)
April 83°F (28°C) 65°F (18°C)
May 87°F (31°C) 70°F (21°C)
June 89°F (32°C) 73°F (23°C)
July 90°F (32°C) 74°F (23°C)
August 91°F (33°C) 76°F (24°C)
September 89°F (32°C) 75°F (24°C)
October 85°F (29°C) 71°F (22°C)
November 80°F (27°C) 64°F (18°C)
December 75°F (24°C) 58°F (14°C)
Cooler Weather in Southwest Florida
Please remember that the temperatures above are historical averages and are not a guarantee of the weather during your stay. Cold fronts can occasionally bring significantly cooler temperatures to Cape Coral, especially from December through February.
For example, temperatures in the Cape Coral–Fort Myers area dropped into the upper 30s during a January 2025 cold snap, and another strong cold front in November 2025 brought morning temperatures into the low 40s.
These colder periods can significantly affect the performance of an electric pool heater.
Please Keep in Mind
Pool heat can make swimming much more comfortable during Florida's cooler months, but pool temperatures cannot be guaranteed. Outdoor air temperature, overnight temperatures, wind, rain, cold fronts, and other weather conditions can all affect how quickly the pool warms and the temperature it can maintain.
For the best experience, we recommend checking the weather forecast shortly before your arrival before purchasing pool heat.
The fireplace is non-operational.
Arrangements can be made to house/dock a boat from and into the two nearby marinas. Please Contact us for details.

Our 2nd time at this beautiful home. We stay for the month of March. The 4 BR's fits my families needs when the kids visit for their week. They love the break from work and get to relax by the pool. Much like we do !!! We look forward to renting this home in the years to come.
Clean, plenty of room. Would recommend. Only issue was they very recently spray painted the outdoor patio chairs black- and it showed on most of our clothes.
The house is located within a short walk of Fathoms and other restaurants. The local Publix is just a mile away. the home was clean and ample room for our 5 guest. The pool and hot tub was a delight.
Very nice house with a really nice pool and patio area. Lots of nice finishes in the house and we had everything we needed. Plenty of beach towels (even though we had brought our own). Loved the amount of communication with the management company before the stay and how they explained everything we needed to know before arriving. Really enjoyed our stay!

The overall experience was good. The house was beautiful and as advertised online. Would live to visit again in the neat future. The major comaint is that the sheets were not properly cleaned, the towels smelled like mildew, and the glasses had not been washed.

Great Location!
Beautiful home on a great spot on the canal. Being able to dock a boat was wonderful and the property was very nice. Did have some mold growing in the master suite bathroom, but I`m sure it will be fixed for the next rental. Recommend this, but be quiet!

Overall very nice. I would definitely rent this property again. However, the dishwasher needed some minor repair. Not a big deal.
We enjoyed our stay so very much! The home was beautiful, clean and stocked with everything we needed. I reached out to Tracy, the property manager for an iron and she delivered one within minutes...she was wonderful and her response time was superb. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others. I was a little sad that the balcony off the master suite was closed off and I would recommend opening this up as I had planned to utilize the space as my reading area! 😊
Thank you for providing a beautiful, relaxing and clean property.

Very happy and satisficed.
Stayed for 4 nights. The house is clean and beautiful. The location is in a quiet area and on the canal that is NOT far from the opened water. The outside and inside look as shown in the picture. There are two things that I had to call to report, the grill didn`t have enough gas, and the light at the pool was out, which are minor things.
