About this house rental
The Boat House — Where Families Come Back to Each Other
Some homes are just a place to sleep. The Boat House is the place your family will talk about for years.
Set directly on the river in Cape Coral's Cornwallis community, this custom 4-bedroom coastal home was designed for exactly the kind of stay VRBO travelers come here for — enough space for everyone, enough privacy for no one to feel crowded, and an outdoor setting that makes it nearly impossible to look at a screen.
The outdoor experience is the centerpiece. The heated saltwater pool and spa anchor a resort-style lanai complete with a large Tiki Bar and fully equipped outdoor kitchen. The river stretches out beyond, and if you time it right, you'll watch dolphins and manatees pass by from the dock while your morning coffee gets cold. The moonrise over the water is something guests mention in almost every review — plan to be on the dock for it.
The layout was built for groups. Four bedrooms. Four bathrooms. Three separate living areas. A bedroom suite with bunks and an ensuite bathroom perfect for kids. A king primary suite for the grandparents or couple who earned the upgrade. Two queen rooms for everyone in between. The open layout makes it easy to be together — the multiple living spaces make it easy to have a quiet moment when you need one.
The kitchen is ready for real cooking. Fully equipped for larger groups, with indoor dining and the outdoor kitchen and Tiki Bar for the nights you don't want to go inside at all.
The neighborhood is easy. Cornwallis is a waterfront community close to Cape Coral's restaurants, shopping, and boat launches. Your pre-arrival welcome guide includes local favorites curated by Michelle and updated by past guests.
A few things to know before you book:
The dock is available for river viewing — boat docking is not permitted
Heated pool available for $15/day (energy cost-based)
Pets welcome: up to two dogs, $150/stay, with advance agreement (vaccines and flea/tick treatment required)
Quiet hours after 10pm / before 8am — this is a residential community and the neighbors are wonderful
Parking: driveway fits 3 cars and garage fits one car; street parking overnight not permitted
No events or parties beyond the guest count
Michelle and Jeffrey respond within the hour, every time. Eight years of Superhost-level hosting a 10/10 rating here tells you what to expect.

The Boathouse is just as pictured. The home is beautiful and well decorated. Enough room for 6 adults comfortably. The beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms are all stocked with toiletries. We cooked every day, the kitchen will well stocked with spices and all the utensils and pots and pans. The coffee bar was very nice and well stocked which we enjoyed every morning. The outside area is what we came for, the Tiki area, the amazing outside cooking space, we played games at the table in the evening and pool and hot tub were phenomenal, and we enjoyed fishing off the dock with the fishing rods that were on the deck. It was so relaxing. The sunrises on the dock are a must, and we even seen dolphin right off the dock. Driving distance to many shops and restaurants. Michelle was very responsive to questions. No problems with check in and check out. Will definitely love to stay here again. Great Family trip in the books thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

The Boathouse is the perfect vacation home to enjoy sun, fun and relaxation in beautiful sw Florida. The house has everything you could possibly need for a family vacation. Kitchen is fully stocked with with everything you need and the outdoor tiki kitchen area is amazing! Cooking breakfast outside on the flat grill is a must. We saw dolphins at the dock and caught a lot of fish right off the dock. Wonderful sunrise every morning, makes you never want to leave. The bedroom accommodations were perfect as well. Very comfortable beds in all rooms. The upstairs space was perfect for as well. Loved all the decor and attention to detail of the home. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend the Boathouse to anyone traveling to Cape Coral area.

Wonderful stay — even better than the photos!Michelle was a fantastic host — attentive, responsive, and full of great recommendations for local attractions. The home itself exceeded our expectations; the photos truly don’t do it justice. It was beautifully kept, well-stocked, spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the stunning sunrise views and how close the property was to everything. Highly recommend to anyone considering a stay in the area!
