🏡 Caribbean Island Dolphin View – Your Premium Vacation Home in Cape Coral



Direct owner rental! Designed in 2014 and built by us for discerning guests seeking top-tier luxury, quality, and comfort.


Located in the coveted Gold Coast Estates, this upscale waterfront retreat offers four private bedroom suites with 5-zone climate control — individually adjustable for each suite and living area.


Enjoy a stunning 17 m (54 ft) infinity pool with disappearing-edge spa and a spacious two-level sun deck spanning 25.2 m. The mosaic-tiled spa sparkles like a jewel, perfect for both kids and adults. For technical reasons common to most Florida pool systems, the pool and spa cannot be heated simultaneously.
Additionally, during rare periods of unusually cold weather, the pool heater may temporarily pause to protect the equipment. We appreciate your understanding.

The oversized dock accommodates boats up to 80 ft and features a tiki hut from which you’ll often see the dolphins — the inspiration for this home’s name.


This luxurious Caribbean-Mediterranean-style masterpiece spans approx. 12,939 sq ft of indoor/outdoor living, with 3,069 sq ft under air on one single level, ideal for families or groups of friends.

This incredible home offers high-quality stainless steel appliances, including a Miele dishwasher (Made in Germany), a Kitchenaid oven and microwave, and double sink
Stainless steel refrigerator with ice/water filtration system, dispenser, ice maker, freezer

High-end kitchen equipment for bon vivants - who enjoy the finest most expensive equipment
Professional cooking pots “Fissler’s original pro collection”
Dreizack Wusthoff professional knives sets, s/s made in Solingen
Kitchenaid branded toaster, blender-, hand mixer, and coffee maker
Keurig coffee maker (runs with regular pads)
The “Ferrari from Villeroy & Boch”, series "Amazonia" made of premium bone porcelain for an adequate dining table and High-end BSF cutleries
Kids-cutleries made by BSF for the little guests
Additional unbreakable dinnerware
Kids and baby cups
Very large kitchen with high ceiling
Open serving bar, extra wide and countertops made of high-grade granite
Rich cabinetry

Three of the four suites have direct pool access. Two, the Antigua and Barbados Suites, are equal-size master suites with ensuite bathrooms. The Coca-Cola Suite and Route 66 Suite each include direct bathroom access, and the Route 66 suite also has a 46” Panasonic HDTV (the masters have 60” Sony HDTVs). The fourth suite offers 2 XL twin beds, combineable to a king. Additional queen inflatable beds available on request.


Boaters love the easy access — just a 2-minute boat ride to the Caloosahatchee River with no locks or bridges (“Direct Sailboat Access”). The wide canal also attracts dolphins, stingrays, tarpon (especially in spring), and winter manatees. Having owned a boat rental business for over 10 years, we can warmly guide you about rentals and best practices.


Built using the ICF® (Insulating Concrete Form) system, the house features sound and thermal insulation, energy efficiency, allergen-friendly surfaces, and is extremely sturdy.

Electricity Charges

Electric usage is billed at $0.15 per kWh, to be paid by the guest.

Your property manager will show you how to monitor usage at any time during your stay.

Actual costs depend on guest count, weather, and habits — typically between $60 and $300/week.

Security: Ring Doorbell plus two audio Ring cameras monitor the driveway and entrance — for your peace of mind.


We are proud to celebrate 21 years in vacation rental business in 2025.


⚠️ Note: The City of Cape Coral requires a 7-night minimum stay.

8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
Booking this was an easy process working with Heidi. As the owner she was great to work with. We had a wonderful time during our stay. The accommodations were very nice. The beds were very comfortable. We saw dolphins and manatees which was fun for the granddaughters. They also fished off the dock for fun. Dennis was very helpful and fun to visit with. The first week the pool did not heat up and we were informed that it was due to the weather as it was unseasonably cold. We then figured out you cannot heat the hot tub and pool at the same time. This should be listed in the instructions that are given out. The second week was much better. I would rent this again without hesitation. Very relaxing and the location is great as we spent equal time in Cape Coral and Ft Meyer’s on adventures. Ann B.

Everything was great!

We loved the house and would definitely stay here again. The 2 master suites were nice for extended families vacationing together. Pool was even nicer than the pictures depict. Loved having such a long pool with varied depths. The dock was wonderful for the boaters and fishermen in our group. Caught many large channel catfish and even hooked a tarpon. Enjoyed watching all the wildlife in the mornings - dolohin, manatees, tarpon and birds. Nighttime fish light was fun as well. Great location - quick ride out to the open gulf by boat. Can't wait to come back!
6 / 10Average·Feb 2022
The house was very nice, it stated it slept 12 but it did not state 4 people would have to sleep on air mattresses or couches. The spa did not work 5 out of 6 nights until we contacted the property owner and the manager of the pool company came to repair it and show us how it works. Very frustrating when we booked this property over others for the pool/spa
