    Things to Know



    This property strictly prohibits smoking.



    Pool Heating Terms & Conditions



    Pool heating is available for an additional fee of $32 per day, plus tax. Guests must contact VueStay at least 72 hours before arrival to request pool heat.



    The pool uses an electric heater that relies on outdoor air temperatures. Under favorable conditions, the heater can generally warm the pool to approximately 20°F above the outside air temperature. Pool heating is weather-dependent, and a specific pool temperature, including 85°F, is not guaranteed.



    When outdoor temperatures drop to approximately 55°F or below, the heater may not operate. During cold fronts and cooler periods, particularly from December through February, the pool may take longer to warm or may not reach or maintain a comfortable swimming temperature.



    Outdoor temperatures, overnight lows, wind, rain, and other weather conditions can affect heating performance. Pool heating fees apply once the service is requested, regardless of weather conditions or the temperature the pool ultimately reaches.



    Average Monthly Temperatures in Cape Coral



    The following historical averages can help you plan your stay. Actual temperatures may vary.



    Jan: High 74°F / Low 56°F

    Nov: High 80°F / Low 64°F

    Dec: High 75°F / Low 58°F



    Before Adding Pool Heat



    We strongly recommend checking the Cape Coral weather forecast shortly before your stay before deciding whether to purchase pool heat. Although Southwest Florida is generally warm, cold fronts can bring significantly lower temperatures, especially from December through February, reducing the heater's effectiveness.



    Please understand that adding pool heat does not guarantee a particular water temperature. By requesting this service, guests acknowledge that pool heating performance depends on weather conditions and that the pool may not reach or maintain the desired temperature during cooler periods.

Loved our stay

The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the lanai and pool area was wonderful! The neighborhood was also very quiet and peaceful. Our only complaint was the electric burners on the stove weren't flat so cooking on them was somewhat ddifficult

Perfect Stay

The house is bigger than the pictures make it seem. It was the cleanest rental I’ve ever stayed in. The patio is perfect and so peaceful. It rained a lot so it was nice to sit back there. Comes equipped with everything you need for however long you stayed. Would love to stay again

Home away from home

Had trouble getting in. Contacted vacasa,response was less than 5 minutes. Upon entering...the property was very clean and had everything needed for our stay. Vacasa and this property I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice comfortable and relaxing location to stay. I travel for work and have stayed at Vacasa rentals before. Service is superior!

Nice home, but a bit disappointed

We stayed in this home for one week. It was clean, comfortable, and the lanai was wonderful. However, we had problems with Vacasa, the property management company. The listing said it had a heated pool, but heater was not turned on when we arrived, so water was cold. After four days and multiple unreturned calls trying to get them to turn the pool heater on, we gave up and swam in cold water. We chose this house because of the heated pool, so we were really disappointed. The house was nice, but we will not rent through Vacasa again. (I see that they have now revised the listing to explain the extra charge for pool heat, and the need to ask that it be turned on. So maybe future renters will not have this issue.)

Deceptive Description and Nightly fee, Poor Customer Service, Nice home with fenced yard.

Listed Descrip/rate of this house doesn't include dog friendly part or heated pool part as listed. Those are extra.and paying additional doesn’t mean operating or safe for dog. Be aware of additional fees they will add beyond taxes. If you understand this up front you - you can more fairly compare to other stays. The home is adequately pictured, however many things weren’t reviewed prior to our arrival and broken - sliding glass door that guests would use wasn’t working - and the pool heat was ready on arrival and the pool heater was leaking, there was a plastic plant all shredded and scattered in fenced in yard (definitely don’t want a dog eating). During stay gardeners come unannounced spraying ROUND-UP in dog area and around outside edge of pool mid day (couldn’t go out there for hours) - and our dog got sprayed. Known carcinoge! The amount of maint at house during visits could’ve been prevented if all was check prior to arrival. The management group Vacasa was horrible just as other reviews suggested. They have no idea what’s really going on at property and have useless AI on replies. Our pool pump actually was shut off during our stay we found arriving home. Vacasa sent email said heater was broke - than they said it was fixed - and gave 100 back refund - however since they shut down pump - the pool chemicals were imbalanced, leaving a bacterial pool that needed shock. A day later a person appeared to do! Neighbors/neighborhood nice.
