- TRAVEL INSURANCE - For your convenience, we offer Travel Insurance through Generali/CSA that covers cancellations due to emergency, inclement weather, delays, etc. We highly suggest safeguarding your trip with a travel insurance company even if it is not ours and especially during the hurricane season starting June 1st - November 30th.

First Time in Cape Coral

The house was exactly as shown in the ad and seeing it up close and personal brought smiles to our faces. Renee was fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better manager. Cape Coral turned out to be a welcome surprise. We all really liked the Town and quiet area we were in. Of course, it helped that Mom Nature did her thing and pool everyday and safe outdoor dining were easy. If I could wish for one thing....it would have been the keys for the boat at our dock.

Lunch @ Yacht Club

Staff & food were good, enjoyed Happy Hour specials. We had never been to this restaurant before, and were told to sit anywhere we liked. We chose a table, then after ordering our drinks, realized that we were in the smoking section. We've become spoiled by the fact that so many establishments are now completely smoke free, indoors & outdoors, that it never occurred to us to check this out first. Our server graciously allowed us to move; it was an improvement, but just as I found when restaurants initially started having separate smoking sections indoors years ago, smoke travels, and if smoking is permitted, there truly is no such thing as a smoke-free area. Would probably still return, but remember to sit as far from smoking section as possible.

Perfekter Familienurlaub

Gute Küchenausstattung, riesiger Kühlschrank. Schöner und grosser Pool mit Morgensonnen (ab ca. 16 Uhr im Schatten - aber genügend warm). Gartenmöbel für 6 Personen, Stühle mit Sitzauflagen. Grosser Aufenthaltsraum sowie offen anschliessender Wohn-/Essbereich im gemütlichen Stil und inkl. Sitzmöglichkeiten (2 Sofa's). Drei sep. Schlafzimmer - zwei mit Doppelbetten, eines mit Stockbett. 2 Badezimmer - 1 mit Dusche eines mit Badewanne. Separate Garage mit Kanus und Fahrrädern zur Benutzung. Ruhige Lage direkt am Kanal, ca. 5 Autominuten zum Strand von Cape Coral und 5 Autominuten zu den nächsten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Alles in allem ein sehr gutes Feedback und sehr zu empfehlen - sowohl für Familien wie auch Einzelpersonen/Kleingruppe.
