About this property

Luxury, Award-Winning Pool, All-Day Sun, Dock, Tiki Hut, Wheelchair Accessible

Welcome to Tropical Palms Villa, a luxury 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom wheelchair accessible vacation home in sunny Southwest Florida! Our Villa allows visitors to relax in privacy and enjoy today's modern conveniences in a custom-designed home, while enjoying the outdoor feel of a five-star tropical resort. Located on a canal in beautiful Cape Coral where the sun typically shines over 300 days a year, our West-facing Villa ensures that guests will enjoy nearly all-day sun along with beautiful sunsets over the canal.

We have all of the amenities you could possibly be looking for in a vacation rental. Our backyard oasis gives you numerous options for enjoying all-day sun. Go for a dip in our award-winning, heated, salt-water pool, enjoy a drink under the Tiki hut at the swim-up pool bar, relax in the spacious spa, or have a good old-fashioned barbecue on our outdoor grill. Our new outdoor tv ensures that you won't miss a big game or your favorite tv show while you're out sunning yourself on the lanai or relaxing in the spa. For a change of pace, head down to our private dock, where you can look for sea otters swimming by, spot pelicans diving for fish, waive to passing boaters, or kick back and relax in style on one of the many deck chairs. If you're into fishing, try casting your fishing rod into the canal and see what happens. Numerous guests have had surprising success fishing off of the dock. Fishing poles are provided at the house. Want to bring your own small boat and tie it to the dock, or rent a boat for a day? While possible, please contact us for more info PRIOR to booking (note there is NO Gulf access from the house).

The entertainment options are not just limited to the outdoors though. Inside Tropical Palms Villa, our spacious Great Hall and kitchen area offers a great gathering place for friends or family to enjoy a night of entertainment. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the cooking ware you need to enjoy the comforts of home, including a Keurig, a 12-cup coffee pot and a Ninja blender. The Great Hall features a 65" TV with numerous media options. There are over 120 DVD and Blu-ray movies to choose from. Our cable TV package features complementary CNN, ESPN, HBO, Starz, and Showtime. Plus, the Great Hall TV includes a Chromecast Ultra as well as Apple TV, so you can stream movies and music from your very own phone or laptop onto the big TV and overhead speakers. The AppleTV includes Netflix, YouTube and other apps. In-ceiling speakers in the Great Hall and both master bedrooms give guests a great audio experience. Free fiber optic Wi-Fi internet is available throughout the house with download and upload speeds up to 940 mbps. Wifi pods throughout the house ensure solid connectivity throughout the property, whether you are playing billiards in the garage, barbecuing out back on the lanai, or relaxing with a good book out on the dock. In addition, the two master bedrooms each contain 46" TVs + cable TV, while the master bathroom contains a 32" TV + cable TV. The other 3 bedrooms each contain smart TVs, including a 65" smart TV in the Queen bedroom, a 55" smart TV in the double bedroom, and a 32" smart TV in the twin room.

If you are the competitive type who enjoys games and sports, you won't be disappointed. The newly updated (Feb 2024) games room features a billiards table, a foosball table, sjoelbak (shuffleboard), a large wall-mounted Connect 4 game, and a dart board. The newly added, wall-mounted tv enables you to keep tabs on your favorite sports on television while you're shooting stick in the games room. We also have a large variety of board games, which are sure to keep you entertained in the kitchen or out on the lanai all evening long. Lastly, there is a nearby community park located less than a 10-minute walk away (2-minute drive) which features 5 tennis courts, a full-length basketball court along with a couple standalone basketball nets, 4 baseball diamonds, and a playground. This park also contains two pavilions if you're in the mood for a picnic. Restrooms are available. No alcohol is permitted in the park. Everything at the park is FREE and first come first serve, so no reservations are required. The park is usually empty during the day, so you shouldn't have any problems getting an empty tennis court, basketball court, etc. If you enjoy pickleball, there is another community park only 3 miles from the house that contains two pickleball courts, along with basketball courts, picnic shelters, playground equipment, and restrooms. A basketball and both tennis and pickleball rackets and balls are provided at the house for guest use while at the house.

Got smaller kids? A highchair and pack and play are provided at the house. There is also a deck box out back by the pool that contains items for the pool, such as water wings, a life jacket, pool noodles, inflatable doughnuts, balls, etc. As mentioned above, there are also well over 100 DVDs at the house, a large selection of them of which are geared toward small children (animated/Disney/Looney Tunes etc.). In addition, of the many boardgames provided at the house, several are geared towards younger children.

If you are a tech enthusiast, you will get a kick out of all the smart features offered at the home. There are several Amazon Alexa devices around the property that enable you to control our many smart devices without having to get up out of your chair or get out of bed. You can change the temperature on the thermostat, lock any of the outside doors, close the garage doors, turn on/off any of the 15 smart light switches in the house, or control either of the lanai ceiling fans – all by voice! A one-page "cheat sheet" of Alexa commands is provided, so even non-tekkies will find it easy to control these devices around the home by voice. Don't worry though – if this sounds intimidating, or if you're just not interested in controlling anything by voice, it's no problem at all as you can still control all of these devices manually just like any other light switch, thermostat, garage door opener, etc.

Cleanliness is MASSIVELY important to us. Tropical Palms Villa is THOROUGHLY cleaned and sanitized after EVERY rental. All linens, including bedspreads and comforters, are washed after EVERY guest departure.

LOCATION: Tropical Palms Villa is conveniently located close to the airport, beaches, restaurants, shopping, and attractions. Fort Myers RSW Airport is only a 30-minute drive from the villa. The Cape Coral Yacht Club public beach is only 20 minutes from TPV, and boasts a great restaurant called The Boathouse right on the beach. Fort Myers beach is about a 30-minute drive depending on traffic, with numerous waterfront dining options (we recommend Wahoo Willie's and Doc Ford's). Siesta Beach, ranked America's #1 Beach, is about a 1 hour and 15 minute drive from the villa. Nearby restaurant options abound as Mel's Diner, the Olive Garden, the Outback Steakhouse, and Ruby Tuesday are all located within a 5-minute drive of the house. Other popular chain restaurants like Denny's, Perkins, Applebee's, IHOP and Bob Evans are all just a couple minutes drive more than that. My personal favorite 3 restaurants in the area – Miceli's (great food and the best live music – make sure you eat outside), Papa Joe's (the best Italian), and Monkey Bar Steakhouse and Seafood (great food & outdoor dining with live music) – are all within a 20-minute drive of the house. Shopping options are also plentiful as popular stores like Walgreens, Walmart, Publix, Target, Bealls, Home Depot, and Lowe's all exist within a 5-8 minute drive of the property. The Miromar Outlet Mall, a must-visit for every visit to Florida, is only 40-minutes from the house (just past the airport).

Please contact us if you have any questions. We hope you will make Tropical Palms Villa your next vacation destination!

Return trip to Tropical Palms
This was our third trip to Tropical Palms Villa in Cape Coral. We love this villa so much it feels like a second home to us. James is very accomodating and responds immediately to any questions/inquiries. The home is exactly as represented in the pictures and James provides complete and detailed instructions on what to expect when you arrive and how to navigate everything throughout your stay. We had an wonderful relaxed week in September and hope to return soon!

Beautiful family retreat home
This house was well equipped for a family vacation. Communication was perfect. Very clean. Plenty of towels, dishes and supplies. The beach toys and cooler really came in handy! The pool and outdoor area were beautiful! The hot tub was amazing.The rooms were very nice and the game room was a definitely a plus for the teenagers! My only complaint is the main master bedroom mattress. It pretty much sunk in the middle and we felt as if we were sleeping smashed together in a hole. I had a few nights where I almost slept on the couch. I would definitely go back if the mattress was replaced.

Tropical Palms is a Week in Paradise!
This is an amazing property! We could have stayed at the pool/lanai the entire week and been content. The dock was great for fishing and with the game room, dvds, and board games it made it easy for meals to be prepared without anyone being bored. James has thought of everything to make your stay incredible. Gator Mikes was great for mini golf and Kumo Japanese Steakhouse was delicious for a fun night out!

Accessible 5 bedroom offers great value
Our host James was friendly and available promptly if needed. He was never intrusive or nagging as some hosts can be. James has organized details of home and area information to make your stay pleasant and worry free. Garage parking, 7 beds, lovely pool with entrance ramp, spacious fishing dock with ramp for easy walking and accessibility. Our group caught tilapia, sheepshead, gar, carp. Snapping turtles in water were fun to see. Home has everything you need to get started and I enjoyed having an abundance of silverware, wash cloths & towels. Safe area, beautiful property and close to shopping and restaurants. Saw burrowing owls often in the neighborhood. We’d gladly stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by James Glasbergen

Host profile image
I am from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, and I hate winter. :) I don't like snow, and I especially don't like cold weather. As a travel agent for 12 years, I had the opportunity to do a lot of travelling, and quite often that would involve escaping a bit of every winter to some exotic warm-weather destination. After 15 years of doing that every winter, I decided that I'd had enough of hotel stays and living out of suitcases. All I really wanted was to get away every winter to a place where I could wake up each morning to warm sunshine, birds chirping, and palm trees swaying outside my window. My dream became a reality in 2013 after I spent a week at a rental home in Cape Coral, Florida. I enjoyed the home, and I instantly fell in love with the area. Before the week was out, I had met with a local real estate agent, purchased a lot and had a builder lined up. The rest, as they say, is history!

What makes this property unique

Tropical Palms Villa offers several unique benefits that few other homes offer. No tropical experience is very tropical without palm trees, and TPV doesn't disappoint with 29 different palm trees located on the property. Whether you are taking in the imposing royal palms lining the front of the property, the majestic medjool palm overlooking the front walkway, the pygmy date palms surrounding the pool, the giant sylvester date palm towering over the dock, or the many foxtail palms lining the canal, you are sure to appreciate the lush, tropical landscaping at our picturesque getaway. In addition to the many palms, there are plenty of other tropical plants and bushes throughout the property that give you the complete tropical experience. Of course, the swim-up pool bar with three barstools in the pool and tiki hut over top only add to the resort experience. The best part of it all is that unlike an all-inclusive resort, you can enjoy this tropical oasis all to yourselves with nobody else to bother you.

The other unique quality that sets Tropical Palms Villa apart from other rental properties is its universal design. I wanted a vacation home that would appeal to people of all abilities – whether somebody in your group has a physical limitation or not. That is why the Villa offers step-free and ramped access throughout the house and property, along with features like wider doors, lower light switches, and roll-in showers. Tropical Palms Villa was NOT designed to be a place that would be attractive exclusively to people with mobility challenges. It WAS designed to be a place that would be attractive to ANYONE – young, old, able-bodied, or disabled, so that if a person with reduced mobility would like to enjoy the house with their able-bodied travel mates, they CAN.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions at all. I look forward to hearing from you!
