If it is found that a Guest has tampered with chemicals, equipment, or temperature settings or that a technician has been erroneously called out, the Guest will be responsible for any expenses incurred or may forfeit their deposit.

We are human and accidents happen so make your trip worry free by adding the plan. We also take a separate security deposit no matter what, as the deposit covers items that are not covered by the damage plan like additional required cleaning upon departure, excessive electricity usage, or guest negligence of property rules, etc. If the extra damage protection is not added to the reservation, the guest agrees to pay for damages exceeding the deposit amount.
- TRAVEL INSURANCE - For your convenience, we offer Travel Insurance through Generali/CSA that covers cancellations due to emergency, inclement weather, delays, etc. We highly suggest safeguarding your trip with a travel insurance company even if it is not ours and especially during the hurricane season starting June 1st - November 30th. No refunds are given for inclement weather, travel delays, last minute cancellations, etc.

First Time in Cape Coral

The house was exactly as shown in the ad and seeing it up close and personal brought smiles to our faces. Renee was fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better manager. Cape Coral turned out to be a welcome surprise. We all really liked the Town and quiet area we were in. Of course, it helped that Mom Nature did her thing and pool everyday and safe outdoor dining were easy. If I could wish for one thing....it would have been the keys for the boat at our dock.

Lunch @ Yacht Club

Staff & food were good, enjoyed Happy Hour specials. We had never been to this restaurant before, and were told to sit anywhere we liked. We chose a table, then after ordering our drinks, realized that we were in the smoking section. We've become spoiled by the fact that so many establishments are now completely smoke free, indoors & outdoors, that it never occurred to us to check this out first. Our server graciously allowed us to move; it was an improvement, but just as I found when restaurants initially started having separate smoking sections indoors years ago, smoke travels, and if smoking is permitted, there truly is no such thing as a smoke-free area. Would probably still return, but remember to sit as far from smoking section as possible.

Sundog vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Upon entering house, discovered that Renee, our rental agent, had had a dog tag made for our lab, Molly, with her name & the address of the rental house. Incredibly considerate, we would never have thought to do that. House had many upgrades: to those who previously stated that there were no electrical outlets in master bath, now there are!! Loved the swimming pool- swam nearly every day of our month-long stay. Had to use heat during last week; it didn't work. Not long after we called, John arrived and within a short amount of time had the heat working. Would love to stay there again.
