This was our first time to Cape Coral, and we couldn't have picked a better home to spend our trip in. We drove from Indiana, which allowed us to bring a lot of our own pool and beach things. It was totally NOT necessary though, because this place has everything you could possibly need!!! Pool floats, pool towels, beach toys, beach chairs, extra spices, Tupperware, etc etc! The added bonus of the tiki hut on the canal is also wonderful. My girls bought a fishing pole and loved catching fish off of the dock. (Watch out for the catfish though--they'll get ya)! The proximity to Fort Myers Beach also worked very well for our family. We could spend the day at the beach, and then come home and relax by the pool! The bikes that came with the house were also so nice! We rode to the yacht club beach as well as to dinner. So many restaurants within biking distance from the house. If you're looking for a great place to stay and just relax, you've found it! Thanks again!
