About this property

Cape Retreat - Beautiful pool home, Gulf access, South/West exposure

Cape Retreat is a tranquil place to maximize your vacation experience. Located in the popular Pelican area of SW Cape Coral, this 3 bedroom/2 bathroom home offers beautiful views of the water and wildlife from the main living areas in the house. The high ceilings and extra windows make the house bright and cheerful, with semi-sheer window coverings across the living and dining rooms to give you some privacy without obstructing the view.

The house has pocketing sliders across the back as well as a large, screened outdoor living space with television, large solar/electric heated pool/spa, and propane gas grill (propane refills, if needed, are very inexpensive, are paid by the renter, and are available locally). Come enjoy coffee in the kitchen which overlooks two beautiful intersecting canals, or in the privacy of the screened secret garden located off the primary bedroom suite. The house has high ceilings, granite countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, a mini-bar with sink and small refrigerator in the living room, full laundry and garage, and new stainless steel appliances.

This relaxing home is located on a canal in Southern Cape Coral, minutes from the Caloosahatchee River and the Gulf, with no bridges or restricted access. Watch the dolphins play in the canal in the late afternoons as you enjoy the Southern and Western sunshine at the pool, or see the bubbles created on the water by a passing manatee. The house offers excellent amenities, including high quality sheets and towels, comfortable living room with large screen television and cable, free Wi-Fi, fishing equipment to fish off the dock, and beach/lounge chairs and towels. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking a delicious meal, and there is a pass-through window to the outdoor living room and bar area.

Cape Retreat sleeps 6, with King-sized beds in the Main Suite and in one guest bedroom, and a Queen bed in the other guest bedroom. Each bedroom has its own television. The guest rooms share a separate hall and bathroom, offering privacy from the Main Suite and bath located on the opposite side of the house. The home has a large dining room overlooking the pool, a large great room with pocketing sliders at the rear of the house, and a small library area in the front of the house with comfortable leather furniture. There are numerous places to relax and curl up with a book, or to enjoy the beautiful scenery and wildlife as you look out at the water.

Cape Retreat is in one of the most desirable locations in Southeastern Cape Coral, and is just minutes from shopping, grocery stores, gas stations and the downtown Cape Coral, Cape Harbor, Tarpon Bay, and Yacht Club areas. Bring your bike and enjoy the numerous biking trails throughout the city, or plan to take a boat tour to see the dolphins and beautiful birds which inhabit this tropical landscape.

This home is also our family home for a portion of each year, and we have made every effort to provide necessary details to give you a wonderful, comfortable, and peaceful vacation experience.

Amazing Vacation

My family had a great vacation at Pelican. The property is perfectly detailed in the listing and the photos are exactly what you’d expecting person. I kept looking at the pictures leading up to my vacation because the view from the pool onto the canal was so beautiful I needed motivation to get thru my workweek. Being there in person it was so peaceful my family spent most of time in the pool just floating and taking it all in. One item I want to mention for others is that both bathroom showers have handheld shower wands. This is something I look for in any listing I book and is rarely listed or in bathroom photos. Also, one bath has a corner seat that can be used for someone with disabilities that may need to sit while showering. This property provided all items that my family needed and we can’t wait to return!

Perfect Vacation Home

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home for our winter getaway! The home has a great pool area with a beautiful view of the canal. It also has a lot of outdoor room to lounge and dine poolside. The inside is spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed. The beds were very comfortable. All rooms had fans and tvs. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. We would love to book this home again!

Stop your search and stay here!!

My sister and I brought our young adult kids to stay May/June of 2021. We wanted a week of relaxation and that is what we got. The house was spacious and beautifully decorated and every area of the home had a comfortable feel to it. The pool area is larger than in the pictures and was perfect with its palm trees, great view of the canal, and lots of sunshine. The kitchen window opens to an outside counter which made it fun to serve our frozen drinks and gave it a real tropical resort vibe. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of utensils, small appliances, dishes, pans, etc. The beds and pillows were super comfy. Bath and beach towels were plentiful. A manual was available with clear instructions on how to operate the pool heater, spa, and TV remotes. The home is located in a gorgeous, up-scale neighborhood. As beautiful as the area is, our sightseeing excursions were always cut short as everyone couldn’t wait to get back to the house. There was absolutely nothing that we wanted that was not available to us. We had a perfect stay and will be coming back to this home again.

Wonderful relaxing retreat.

We are spending g March 2021 at the house and enjoying this great house. It is clean, well stocked with kitchen necessities, and located on a great canal system. The owner has been great to work with and allowed us to flex our stay when we had to remain home for a few days to get vaccinated. They responded quickly to any questions or concerns.. We spend every evening on the great patio and love the large pool. The house is large and well appointed. It is a quite a drive to get to places like Stump Bay, Venice, Punta Gorda, and many of our favorite places but if you aren't looking to go past Fort Myers or Sanibel the location will work. Diane A

Best Stocked VRBO Ever!

This property had absolutely everything we needed! This spacious, clean home was perfect for us. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, reading on the lanai, using the awesome grill, relaxing in the spa, and watching boats go by. It was too chilly to use the pool, but it looked inviting. The location was perfect for day trips to Ft. Meyers, Estero Island, Venice Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, and Punta Gorda. There are tons of restaurants in the area and everything is easy to get to from here. Jennifer made check in and check out so easy and was very accommodating! Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect Home , Great Owner

This is the best house we have stayed at so far in the Cape Coral area. This place was clean and everything was top notch. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who is staying in the area. The two places near by that we enjoyed was ... Love boat for Ice Cream ... Bimini Bait Shack for dinner and drinks. Thank You Jenifer for allowing us to enjoy your home.

The Best of Cape Coral!!

This was our first experience with VRBO. This home was just magnificent! It started with a pleasant introduction by the owner describing the home and presenting us with a bouquet of flowers . She had a instruction booklet that detailed the operation of the pool and spa, tv remotes and also included restaurant recommendations and area highlights. The home was immaculate and well stocked with starter paper products, soaps and garbage bags.The owners home description was very accurate. We would love to rent this property in the future!

Beautiful home and fantastic owners

This home was perfect . We had a total of 6 (4 adults and 2 children) and had plenty of room. It was extremely nice, clean and the pool/spa was clean. The outside was just as enjoyable as inside. Sliding doors and windows were great. Lots of updates which created a very clean and modern feel. Location was in a quiet and well kept area of Cape Coral. Jennifer and Janella were very easy to work with and even let us check out later which was very nice. We will definitely return.

Amazing property, Incredible host!

Our family really loved staying at this home. We were so content we hardly left the house. It had more than everything we needed and all great quality items. We spent most of our time in the beautiful outdoor area where the screen not only filtered the strong Florida sun and kept us sunburn free but prevented the pests that spoil outdoor life. The canal not only gave us a lovely view but a cooling breeze on those sweltering days. The owner was so great, connecting with us regularly and promptly answering our questions. She also encouraged us to help ourselves to the mango tree on the property. We highly recommend this home to everyone and hope we can return again soon.

Even Better than Promised

This is a great house! While the pictures are accurate, they don't show how clean and well equipped this house is (extra deck chairs, fishing poles, cooler, beach towels, rafts and more). The pictures don't show that the sliding glass doors slide into the walls, creating an open air feel. There is a nice cross breeze from the front of the house to the pool area when the windows open. Jennifer is delightful to work with. She's responsive and ensures that your stay is enjoyable. I look forward to spending many vacations in this house, you will too!
