For guests who prefer relaxing outdoors while enjoying the beautiful view of the wide Honolulu Canal and watching boats go by all day long, a Gas Grill is ready for use for cooking outdoors.

ABOUT THE HOUSE

Sliding glass doors welcome the Florida sunshine into a large living room with tiled floors and vaulted ceilings. Kick back on two leather sofas in front of a 42" flat screen cable TV with smart TV options.

Modern Samsung kitchen and laundry room appliances and window/door shutters and shades have recently been installed.

The contemporary kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful extras. In addition to the Keurig machine, Cuisinart Coffee maker and wine fridge, guests will find a fully stocked kitchen that includes high quality stainless steel pot and pans and large roasting pan for those guests who prefer to enjoy holiday meals in sunny Cape Coral!

While the chef preps dinner, enjoy drinks and snacks at the kitchen bar. Nearby, a large dining table has room for six to share sit-down meals. A convenient “pass through” window with outdoor granite counter is located between the kitchen and the outdoor dining table for guests that prefer to cook indoors, but dine outdoors.

Enjoy socializing in the screened-in partially covered patio, set beside a beautiful heated pool. The choice is yours: RELAX on the large lanai and enjoy the Southern exposure or enjoy the warm breezes and comfort of two large ceiling fans on the large covered portion of the lanai, while you notice the flying mullet jumping in the the canal or a group of beautiful white egrets lounging on the dock!! There’s ample seating for everyone, with patio chairs, a love seat, rocker chairs and sun loungers (8 on property). Fire up the gas grill and dine alfresco around the six-person glass top patio table. A spare canister of propane will be available in the lanai closet, if needed. Swivel our comfortable rocker chairs toward the newly added outdoor smart T.V. and enjoy an outdoor home theater experience under the covered portion of the lanai!

The house sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms.

Located for privacy, the two master bedrooms come with direct access to the pool area, a king bed, and a 32" wall-mounted or counter top smart TV.

Enjoy fishing or boating, right from the private dock! Rosen Park, just 7 minutes away, offers two public boat ramps for launching your own boat to dock at this home! Since Cape Coral boasts, on the average, 265 sunny days per year, the electric pool heater and the southern exposure, ensures comfortable pool use all year long! For privacy, a pocket door separates the laundry room and bathroom. A recently added desk, situated in the living room, provides a space to use your own laptop, if you choose to bring one from home. The network name and password for the FREE WIFI is located in a frame on the desk. The air conditioner is new and protected by a service contract. There is driveway parking available for at least two vehicles.

Villa Piccolo Paradiso

We arrived on Sunday July 7th, we were a little early but I spoke to Charlie who is the property manager and he told me the house was ready and we were able to get in a little early. The house is beautiful and is just like the pictures on VRBO. The pool is beautiful and there is plenty of space on the pool deck with more than ample seating and even a space to dine outside. There is a boat dock and if you have a boat you can keep it right there for easy access during your stay. The home is located within driving distance of many restaurants, grocery stores, specialty stores and attractions. The owners were very helpful from the time we booked the home. Staying in touch via email and sending us a list of their favorite restaurants and attractions in the area. They made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful week in their home. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home and will definitely stay again should our travels take us back to Cape Coral.

Loved it!

This house was wonderful. Everything was super clean when we got there and they had everything we could possibly need. Our kids loved fishing from the dock and spent hours in the pool. Location was great- close to shopping and restaurants but in a quiet neighborhood. Due to weather we didn't get a chance to use the kayaks but definitely would have if we had time. Just a great place overall!

Truly a Paradise

My husband and I and our 3 kids recently stayed at this lovely home for 6 nights. This was our 3rd visit to the area in a rental home and we all agreed that this was the best. We loved having our coffee outside on the lanai. It was so peaceful to look out at the canal. The kids enjoyed the size of the pool. It is very large. The house easily accommodated our family of five. The owners have thought of everything that you could possibly need, including a ton of information about where to eat and things to do in the area. It is a nice neighborhood, with nice neighbors! I highly recommend it and we would definitely stay here again!

Perfect extended vacation

We were blown away at how clean and beautiful this home was when we walked in the front door. Then we opened up the window wall to the outdoor area and knew we were going to have a great month here. It never disappointed! We hosted both an older couple as well as our young grandchildren and the house was set up perfectly for both groups with 2 primary suites and the 3rd twin room. The pool was wonderful and felt private even with neighbors right next door. Great communication with the owners as well as Charlie (property manager). Would highly recommend this home for anyone staying in the area and know if we come back to the area we will definitely rent this again.

Perfect Getaway

We absolutely will be back in the future, the location of the home was perfect for our blend of beach lovers and river lovers. We were able to visit 8 different beaches around and enjoyed the river every evening. The pool was a plus for when the kids didn’t want to go anywhere for the day. We started out only staying a week but a couple days in changed our minds and stayed a week and a half. The property is amazing and stocked with everything you need! The owners and manager were so nice and attentive with any and all questions.

Our second time here

This was our second time staying here at this home for our family vacation. Again, we had a truly wonderful experience. Our kids enjoyed the pool every day, multiple times a day. The new pool looks great! We used the kayaks and saw a manatee or two, spent mornings sipping coffee and watching the mullet fish jumping in the canal from the dock. We went to Sanibel island for a beach day and visited with our friends who recently moved to Cape Coral. Everything in the house is well taken care of, well-appointed, and the property manager was very responsive to one request we had. We would recommend this house to all our friends and family, and we are sincerely looking forward to returning again for a third visit. Our two kids were so sad to leave! Awesome family vacation spot.

Nice place but they charge extra for utilities

Overall the place was okay, but finding a razor in the master shower upon arrival was discouraging. And owners charge random amount for electricity after you checkout, so the per night cost is not accurate.

Excellent Property and Wonderful Owners

Very clean, very well stocked property that is close to many different necessities while on vacation! The beds are super comfortable, and individual bathrooms suited everyone very well. We enjoyed the pool each day to beat the heat, and the dock each evening after the sun started going down. We didnt have to go out to eat at all with the well stocked kitchen, and found all the amenities one would find at home. Communication with owners was effortless and they have a ton of local knowledge for folks not from the area. Property manager was hands off in our case, as we had no issues whatsoever. 10/10 visit for us, and we will definitely look to stay here in the future!

5 day stay

What a beautiful property and home they have created! Pat and Joanne were phenomenal hosts. Their home is our Florida dream home. Everything you need and a perfect location near restaurants, grocery stores, Dunkin, bait shops and bars. We went for a swim, fished the canal, cooked for friends, and looked for homes that didnt measure up because we were spoiled. If you are looking for homes in area, don't stay here because nothing else measures up! LOL.

Relaxing Getaway

We were really impressed that there were spices, oil, sugar, some coffee, filters and sandwich bags, foil & hand soap in each bathroom. We spent most of our time on the lania. We loved the house, the view, lania & pool. The only thing that we didn't like was the motion lights in the pool area. You couldn[t sit on the lania or go into the pool for an evening swim without those lights flashing. I would rent this house again in a heartbeat. Pat/Joanne were so nice & even touched base with us during our stay which has never happened on any vacation rental we stayed at.
