We (5 adults and 2 young kids) had a wonderful time at this rental! We stayed for a week and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. Lots of fishing off the dock and the kids loved the pool! The home was clean and comfortable. Easy drive to nice beaches. There was plenty of food options nearby. The host was great and very helpful! Would definitely recommend this home for a fun, peaceful, family trip
This is the second year we rented this vacation home from Maggie, and we could not say enough wonderful things about her home and her hospitality. We have rented homes through VRBO over the past 8 years, but never rented the same property twice. Thank you for helping our family continue to make great memories, we are truly grateful
Loved the house and location. Close to good food, shopping, and the beach. Kids loved the pool and fishing from the dock in the back. We enjoyed the beach everyday and being able to come back and relax and cook dinner.
Very easy check-in/check-out process and everything was great! The location is perfect being close to all the great spots in Cape Coral. I would recommend it to any of my friends/family.
My bf and I stayed here for 4 nights. Home was so cute and super clean! We especially loved the beautiful pool and view of the canal. Location to all the bars/restaurants was within a 2-3 minute drive. Host was great with communication too! Will definitely stay here again!
The house was very clean and well maintained. Pool and hot tub were also nice and clean. The only negative was the lack of a door separating the bathroom and primary bedroom. Overall an excellent home and value.
Very clean and on the canal! Great views and the pool is huge ! Kids enjoyed not having to go anywhere to have fun if we didn’t want to. The house is well stocked and the pool toys were a plus. Manager was very responsive and helpful. Location is great and we enjoyed it all !
Had a wonderful week in this house. Pool was nice and had a deep end which was very nice. Nicole was fantastic to work with. Touched base with us the first day to make sure everything was as we expected which was really a nice touch.
The property is just as pictured. It's located in a very nice quiet neighborhood. The property is very clean and well maintained. Communication with the owners was excellent. They made everything effortless so it was a perfect relaxing getaway. The pool area is absolutely perfect. We had an amazing time during our stay. Would definitely recommend
The property was clean (major points for that!). It was roomy. Loved that it had a washer and dryer. Last year the place we stayed at had a small outside community laundry, it was down two flights of stairs and only had a few washers . More than once we would put in detergent and clothes, pay and then the washer wouldn't work.we then had to move our clothes into a different washer, losing our money from the one that had stop working. A couple others had the same thing happen to them. So I repeat , the very nice, washer and dryer was definitely appreciated lol. loved the huge private pool, the kids had a blast, it kept them entertained in the evening after the beach. I would definitely recommend this property to others!

We enjoyed our stay Lisa the property manager is so on the ball and very quick to respond to any requests..
The best I’ve dealt with tbh, we have stayed all over Florida in holiday villas and Lisa was the fastest responder hats of to you! 😁
I did read in other comments that the kitchen isn’t equipped with everything,
I would agree to an extent, the coffee pot is very small and mainly suitable for 2/3 people definitely needs to be bigger! Miner issue, their are other bits and bobs that would have made this villa a perfect holiday home but that’s my opinion! neighbour hood was great v quite it was our first time to cape coral it was ok I do prefer st petes/Sarasota area but this area is fairly good I wouldn’t rush back to Cape Coral but we did enjoy the villa with its large pool we all had a fab time ☀️😁🕶️
Thank you for a wonderful vacation. This is our second time staying at one of Maggie's beautiful homes. The house was immaculate. There was a nice starter kit of toiletries, dishwasher pods, detergent, paper towels, etc. There were plenty of bath/hand towels and beach towels. The beds and pillows were comfy. The floor plan is nice and open. There were bicycles in the garage, although we are not cyclists. It was nice parking in the garage and having the garage door opener.
The pool was absolutely amazing. My seven-year-old daughter enjoyed the large shallow end and the abundance of pool toys. The boat rental through Maggie was easy peasy! We enjoyed our time on the boat. The boat was again super clean. The captain was thorough with my husband going over the charts and boat accessories.
The neighborhood was very quiet. I only seen one neighbor outside getting his mail.
The communication was prompt.
We left our keys at the house and Maggie mailed them back to us. Thank you!
We will be renting one of Maggie's homes again for our next
The home was very clean on arrival and communication with the host Maggie was excellent and the few issues we had with the pool area were delt with in a timely manner.
It is an older home and some areas are a little tired and could do with replacing.
The canal view is beautiful as is the pool we enjoyed it very much, unfortunately we didn’t have any success fishing and saw neither dolphins or manatees but that’s wildlife for you.
The home is short walking distance into Cape Coral village and we enjoyed drinks at the tiki bar and jungle bird.
We had great meals at Wow wing and Monkey Bar.
It’s a great location for exploring with plenty of shops and restaurants within a short drive.
The home is well equipped and as with most rentals some of the pots and pans are past their best but still serviceable, I agree with others on the coffee pot size, if there had have been 4 of us we’d have had to keep running up brews there was just enough for 2 full cups and a little top up each.
The bed was super comfortable in the master and there was ample seating both inside and outside, we also enjoyed the bikes which are in great condition.
Only improvements would be placemats for the table and replacing some of the pots and pans etc although I understand many people don’t come to cook but for those that would over a longer stay it’d be nice, some bbq tools as there were none.
Maggie was a great host, the home is great and I’d recommend the home for rental.
This is a very nice older home that has been rehabbed. The kitchen and baths are new and very nice. They provided everything we needed in the kitchen including some spices. The outdoor pool area is just as advertised. The pool is large and clean. The hot tub is free standing, 4 person, clean and gets to a toasty 104 degrees. The dock is concrete and wonderful for viewing wildlife. The neighborhood is great. The home is surrounded with new builds. It is walking distance to downtown restaurants which is wonderful and we took full advantage of it ! The owner and property manager were both very responsive whenever we called them. This home had a few things that prevented me from giving it a 5 star review. First the master bathroom has no door on it. The toilet is 3 feet from the bed. I did not care for it. This also doubled as the pool bathroom. The second thing that prevented a 5 star review was the size of the living area. It seats 4 only and that's tight. The home sleeps 6 but only 4 , really 3, can sit in the living room. The last issue was the old and worn patio furniture around the pool. They really need to upgrade the furniture for a 5 star experience. This house is fine for a weekend maybe a week for 2 - 4 people. We stayed 6 weeks and had multiple guests. For us it was too long in a house this size. In this home you are paying for a 3 bedroom but it lived smaller for us.
Had a great stay and enjoyed every moment, everything we needed was provided, house was clean and presentable. Would definitely stay here again . Definitely recommend.
Everything was great. Communication was very good. Everything you could possibly need or think of. Central to restaurants, stores, beaches. We bought groceries and cooked on the grill most nights and ate out on the lanai enjoying the views. We used the hot tub frequently. Also, so much beach stuff. Chairs, coolers, fishing rods. We also went fishing off the little back dock. Would definitely stay again. Great property and wonderful host.
Everything we needed was provided. There was an issue with the toilet and Maggie has someone there the very next day to fix it. She checked in to see if we needed anything during our stay. The property is nice and in a very good neighborhood. We liked being on the channel and with a pool. Would stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay! The host was absolutely awesome... very kind and helpful throughout our visit. The home had amazing views, especially from the dining area and kitchen, which made every meal extra special. The pool was great, and the view from the pool was just as beautiful. We also enjoyed spending time by the saltwater canal. A bonus treat was watching the local burrowing owls in the front yard every evening... my wife loved them. Highly recommend! Would love to stay here again.
We had a great stay at this property. The location was nice and quiet. Close to a few restaurants and very accessible to all beaches. The outside was fantastic. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The deck needs a little TLC as does some of the inside of the house. Nothing major, just somethings we noticed. It was strange that the only door from the pool area to a bathroom was painted closed...you can certainly go around to the other door though. All in all we would stay here again. We had wonderful weather and had a great time. Thanks!
The pool is awesome and the sunshine hit it until late in the afternoon. Perfect for a whole day of floating and fun! The house was comfortable and very clean. It was great to have a garage to park the car in. It’s conveniently located to restaurants, stores and easy access to Ft Meyers and Sanibel Island.
