Sunsets over the canal


Others like this home: VRBO rated this home FIRST out of 8839 similar properties for a full year ending early in 2020, based on reviews from those who have stayed there. FIRST!!!! You will like it too.

This modern home is perfect for relaxing. A large pool and loads of space around the pool and under the lanai, with a dining table and many very comfortable chairs perfect for watching the sunsets. The master bedroom is large, with a king sized bed and a huge washroom and closet. The second and third bedrooms share a bathroom and are pleasantly decorated. The first sitting room is quiet and relaxing, with huge doors that open to the lanai and pool. The separate TV / living room is larger and looks out to the canal if you're not watching the huge modern TV. The kitchen is well equipped and has stools for those wanting to sit at the huge granite counter while someone prepares supper! There is a table with chairs in the kitchen but also, for a more formal meal there's a separate dining room.
The pool is always warm thanks to the new heat pump heater. The driveway easily accommodates 4 cars. There are plenty of beach toys for those wanting to visit the beach, and there are also bicycles and kayaks for those who inquire but a release of responsibility is needed. It's about 20 minutes to the Cape Harbour restaurants and bars, by kayak.
A great place for a holiday.

You can’t get much closer to the best of what Cape Coral has to offer than Namaste House. The home is on a gently sloping lot with a beautiful hedge filled with red flowers that make a beautiful setting on one of the nicest boulevards with mature trees, shrubs, flowers and other spectacular Floridian vegetation. The neighborhood has many multi-million dollar homes and many boats that are similar in value.
You can access the home by road, to the driveway good for 4 cars, or by water by motor boat or sailboat. Boat rentals are just 15 minutes away by boat to the boat slip or dock. This home is very close to the Caloosahatchee River; it takes only about 15 minutes to get to the river by boat.
The home itself is open and spacious yet with 2 completely separate living room areas – one with a huge TV and sound system; the other with comfortable chaises ideal for afternoon tea or relaxation. The prime feature of this home, however, is the huge lanai – at least double that of an average similar size home. The Eddie Bauer furniture on the lanai may be the most comfortable you’ve ever experienced. Immediately adjacent is a table for an outside supper under the lanai, adjacent to the large pool that is heated by a heat pump. The pool glistens and sparkles under moonlight or the beautiful sunsets that are so well viewed from the west facing lanai.. It’s so relaxing…
There is room on the dock or under the mosquito cage for getting a good suntan on one of the reclining chairs that make you want to sleep.
Inside you will find the kitchen a chef’s dream, with enormous granite countertops, a very fast microwave oven, a huge refrigerator and a convection range. The home is well equipped with spices and most basic cooking needs and a pantry with a number of staples and other food. We welcome you to help yourself and then, when you leave, just put your left over non-perishable food in the pantry so others can benefit just like you did.
The home is modern, built in 2003, and spacious, with high ceilings, large windows with beautiful views of the canal or the boulevard and the gorgeous vegetation.
Close by (within about 10 minutes) are the water park, the Palmetto Pines Golf Course, the Yacht Club beach and marina, countless great restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations and other amenities, however where the home is, in the very nicest part of town, there is absolutely no commercial activity. Within about half an hour you can reach anywhere in Fort Myers, Sanibel Island, Miromar Outlet shopping and even more fantastic restaurants and interesting places to see or visit.

Schlimmster Urlaub den wir jemals hatten

Die Hausbeschreibung ist nicht korrekt, das Haus ist nicht sauber und sehr abgewohnt. Die Lanai ist relativ klein und alles steht voll mit nicht brauchbaren Gegenständen. Es gibt keinen Ausblick auf den Kanal, weil alles mit Sträuchern zugewachsen ist. Pfannen und Töpfe sind unbrauchbar und kleben vor Dreck, in den Schränken liegen tote Fliegen. Es gibt kein Trinkwasser weil der Wasserfilter abgeklemmt wurde. Die Outdoorküche hat noch nie funktioniert, von dem dreckigen Grill kann man nichts essen, eklig. Der Pool ist nicht sauber, die Abdeckung defekt, wie auch die Outdoormöbel, auch wenn zwei Liegen ersetzt wurden. Die angebotenen Fahrräder sind defekt. Im Haus riecht es muffig nach Feuchtigkeit. In einem Bad waren Schimmelspuren. Bei uns war die Toilette verstopft, das Fäkalienwasser ist in der Dusche hochgekommen, es hat furchtbar gestunken.In der Folge ist dann auch noch die Spülmaschine ausgelaufen, weil das Wasser nicht abgepumpt werden konnte. Wir sind deswegen vorzeitig ausgezogen, erstattet wurde nur ein Bruchteil unserer Vorauszahlung, auch das nur mit sehr viel Ärger. Wirklich einsichtig war der Vermieter nicht, er denkt, sein Haus gehört zu den besten überhaupt. Wer sich mit solchen Zuständen wohlfühlt, oder Erlebnisurlaub mit viel Aufregung möchte - gerne hier buchen, alles kostenlos im Preis enthalten. Diese Aussagen sind nicht übertrieben, können mit Fotos belegt werden. Rückfragen dazu werden auch gerne beantwortet.Alternativen gibt es genug…

Excellent property and team

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is amazing! My family brought our boat and spent the evenings poolside. One of my daughters left a sweater there and Dale happily mailed it to us! We would highly recommend! It’s a beautiful property, great location and even better owners/ managers!

Lovely pool home in the Pelican area on canal

This pool home has a great view of the canal with boats coming and going everyday. We spent most of our time on the lanai and in the heated pool. Spacious home with plenty of room for everyone. Great location close to shopping, restaurants and grocery stores. We had a few problems with our stay but Dale (owner) and property manager responded in a timely manner. Frank & Patty Coates

his is a great vacation home! Excellent Experience!

The house is so spacious. The front door opens to a large foyer connected to living room #1 with sliding glass doors to the pool. Off the foyer are glass doors to the private dining area & the entrance to the master bedroom. The master bathroom is larger than the bedroom. It has an open shower area, garden tub and huge walk-in closet. Traveling through the rest of the house, you will find a mudroom & laundry room. The enormous, fully loaded kitchen. The owner welcome guests to leave their leftover goods. We appreciated being able to find things we forgot, like cooking oil and Band-Aids. Guest can enjoy dining at the table located in a bay window overlooking the pool and canal. There is also extra seating on several bar stools around counter. Another door off the kitchen leads to the linen closet, second bathroom, and two bedrooms with walk-in closets. The open kitchen is connected to the large, second living room featuring two couches, love seat and recliner for plenty of seating. The pool is beautiful and heated! There is a nice size table for dining outside, a cozy sitting area, grill, television and so so many pool inflatables. There are plenty of beach towels, bath towels and extra linens for every room. There is nothing to improve upon in this GEM! I highly recommend this home for your next vacation! Thanks for a great stay!!

We hit the jackpot with this home!

My husband & I vacationed in this home for 2 weeks, celebrating our anniversary. The house is in a fantastic location. Easy, straight access over to Fort Myers. When we drove up, saw the neighborhood & opened the door, we knew this was an incredible property. The view out thru the lanai to the pool and canal are breathtaking! Love the quiet neighborhood. (No crazy traffic lol!) Amazing kitchen, large and comfortable family room at back of house, spacious master suite w/king bed. Loved looking at all the artwork throughout the house. We swam in the pool nearly every day!! The surrounding landscape is lush and green and private. I even took a photo of a Dendrobium orchid, attached to a tree in the back, which was blooming!! Walked the surrounding neighborhoods one evening. The owner, Dale, was very responsive to communication. There is a joy in having no schedules and doing nothing but relax for two weeks and we definitely felt blessed to have been able to rent this home!! God bless!!

Great location and comfortable home

Overall good experience. This was our first time staying in Cape Coral as we normally stay in our timeshare condo on the north end of FMB. The home was very comfortable and well equipped to accommodate up to 6. The pool and lanai area is fantastic. The home is large enough that we were able to invite many of our friends from the area over for a seafood feast. We had 16 people for that dinner and did not feel cramped in the least. There was an issue with the cleaning person as they completely skipped over the Master bathroom and changing the bed sheets in all bedrooms. Dale was extremely apologetic about the situation and refunded us a portion of the cleaning fee to make up for the hour my wife and I spent taking care of this issue upon arriving. Overall we had a good experience and would stay here again.

Spacious house in Cape Coral, FL

Overall, the house was comfortable and pleasant. The location/neighborhood was lovely. The owner was super nice and helpful. He was very easy to work with. There were a couple of things renters should be aware of. Lighting in the kitchen area is very dim and the tv situation is difficult in the living room. Directions are confusing and there is access to very few channels. We contacted the property manager several times and found him slow to get back to us and not particularly helpful. On a good note, there was very little we needed to contact him for. I would not hesitate to rent this property again. The neighbors were very friendly, which isn’t always the case with rental properties.

I stayed here for two weeks and had a very relaxing experience. I used the pool everyday in the afternoon as the temp was perfect. I would go this time of the year again as the temps are perfect. The house was extra clean and quiet and everything was there to prepare meals or just relax! It's also easy to get to downtown, the beaches of Ft Myers, or other island to explore.

Highlight of our trip

We booked on VRBO as oppose to booking the traditional hotel for the final half of our vacation to see family in Florida. Our experience was absolutely wonderful. The property and accommodations were more than we could have asked for, so much that we hosted dinner for the family several night. The location was extremely clean, presentable and well furnished; well worth every dollar. Property manager, Gil was friendly and responsive to all of our needs. Will look for this location again when we return to Cape Coral.

I'm an engineer and have a background in energy management and manufacturing. My consulting work in energy management has given me a chance to see the world and help people at the same time. Great fun. My manufacturing company makes hardware such as nsulators for electric utilities.

Why they chose this property

The home is a perfect location for boating, which I very much enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The huge lanai enables you to pretty much live outside. Fantastic compared to the winter in Nova Scotia where I live most of the year.
