HOME AWAY FROM HOME - Gulf access with heated salt water pool - electric incl.

This is our second year at this property, love the neighborhood for the ability to just walk around and feel extremely safe at any time. Neighbors are all very friendly and quiet. Cape Coral also has a bunch of options for activities within a short drive. Take a walk and jump in the pool what more could you ask for...

Very clean and well organized. Stocked with everything we needed. Great pool and lanai with beautiful views of the waterway. Would rent again when back down in a Cape Coral.

Very responsive owner who arranged for an early arrival, adjusted the pool pump schedule, replaced a broken corkscrew & provided a vegetable peeler & baking pans. Outdoor temps were 60s - 70s most days, so we did not use the pool much & never used the other equipment. The house is comfortable, well maintained, & easily accommodates 2 couples & 2 two children. The neighborhood is VERY quiet and an easy drive to stores. There are many outlets in every room. The bedrooms need a chair or luggage racks. The main bedroom has a closet, hangers, & dressers. The living room TV has no live broadcasts, so we used our HDMI cable with our laptop. We like to cook and found the kitchen reasonably well equipped--LOTS of pieces of flatware, glassware, and dishes, ample pots & pans with lids, blender,cutting boards & knives. Range, dishwasher & washer/dryer worked well. Refrigerator with large freezer, toaster, toaster oven. Other items: containers for leftovers, mixing bowls, measuring cups & spoons, dishtowels, oven mitts, & scissors. Laptops connected to the internet easily but not the Brother printer; we used our cable from one laptop to the printer. The desk in the living room was too small for two laptops and the printer; we used the dining table. The pictures make the rooms look larger. However, we can recommend this rental and would stay here again, although we would hope for warmer weather over which the owner has no control.

We stayed for month of January 2021. Our son came down 9 days earlier and rented a house for similar price. Ava’s house did not even compare to our sons house he rented. Pool was heated day and night, All linens, paper towels, toilet tissue, etc were included. His house was 600 sq.ft. bigger. Two days before we arrived, Ava emails Info about house. I was not able to cancel because of no refund unless done 10 days before arrival. I would have canceled. Ice maker broken, Never was fixed. She said to plan accordingly. Keyless entry broken, never fixed. Only had 1 key for the month. Safe in closet broke, never was fixed. 2nd bedroom sheets had hairs on it and black soot. When you take sheets off bed, please check the mattress cover and you will see how dirty it is. House had no plastic plates so you could eat on pool area dining table for lunch or dinner cook out. When we arrived garbage disposal did not work, took over a day to get someone to fix it. Dining room patio door would not stay locked. So neighbor cut a piece of wood to put down so door would not open at night. When I went to use BBQ grill in pool area, propane tank was on and I had to clean BBQ grill before using it. Pool heating system outdated. Heating system was set to come on at 11:00 A.M. to warm pool to 85 degrees per contract and quit at 7:00 P.M. Took 2 days to get corrected with Ava and pool maintenance. Pool guy showed up and said heat was set for 81 and to start at noon. He set it for 85 degrees and Ava set it to start at 9:00 A.M. per my request, Ava has control at her house to set time heating stops. Everyday it stopped at 3:00 P.M. When temperature during night between mid 50’s to 60 and during the day when temps are 70 to 73, it would take until 2:00 P.M. for pool to heat up to 85 or 84. Pool guy put thermometer in the pool and only got up to 80 by 3:P.M., but the heating thermostat said it was 85. I would never rent this house ever!!!! No phone in house for local calls or even calling 911. Living room is only big enough for 5 people to seat and watch TV. Ceilings 8 foot high, which made house seem small. One dish towel and one dish cloth. No garage door opener. Ava said they have no measuring spoons or bowls. 2 Pool maintenance guys showed up with no notice and just walked in pool area, People should never come to rental house without notification from owner to the renter so no accidents might happ
