Palms Over Water is immaculate. We loved our stay. The property was just as described with many amenities available. The neighborhood was quiet with lots of retail and restaurants within a short drive. The host was very responsive. Highly recommend.
Clean and well appointed property. Had what we needed for the stay. We didn’t use the bikes, kayaks or spend time on the dock because we enjoyed the pool area immensely!
The home was very inviting, clean and in a perfect location. The pool was great and we spent time fishing in the canal. We would highly recommend this home for a vacation to Cape Coral.
Nice home with lots of space for our family and two dogs. Great pool and pool area. Nice neighborhood, close to shopping and restaurants, but not walkable. Kitchen had everything we needed.Brad, owner, was available and checked in, would stay again.

An ideal family vacation rental
We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Palms Over Water Villa last week. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The communication was smooth and prompt, making the booking process hassle-free. The location is ideal for various beaches and other activities. Our children enjoyed swimming in the pool and having their own bedroom space. We will definitely stay here again.
Rental was very well appointed. Lots of little things were included that make a big difference. Night lights were everywhere, there were three kitchen towels (why do so many rentals only give you one?!), laundry pods were provided, Wi-Fi QR codes anywhere you might need them, tea bags, Ziploc bags, the list goes on. The house layout is fantastic. We loved the full extension sliding doors. Every meal we ate at the rental was eaten outside on the Lanai. Having a garage and garage door opener was a very nice perk. We specially picked this rental for the kayaks and bikes. Those were enjoyed and we appreciated the full selection of life jackets. Everything felt relaxed and easy, a true vacation home!
The owner was amazing!! Great communication! The property was as described!! I couldn’t believe how quiet the neighborhood was!! The pool and lanai were the best part of course!! Highly recommend!! 5 stars all the way!!
We enjoyed the stay very much. The house has everything you need and is very clean. Communication with Brad was excellent. We can recommend the house. It is a place to feel good.
We had an amazing time at the pool and we had a great time at the house. Was a very relaxing experience. I will be back in the future. I recommend this house to anyone.

Relaxing
House is in a quiet neighborhood. Close to shopping and restaurants via car. Well kept property and the owner is very responsive to any needs you may have. I stayed here in October 2022 and September 2024 and would definitely stay here again in the future.
This property was great for my families purposes. Each kid had their own bedroom, the house was a good size, plentiful towels and linens. It was close to grocery stores for food shopping. It was very busy with traffic the week we were visiting

Everything and more!
Our stay at Palms over Water was exactly what we were hoping for and so much more! The home was not only beautiful but immaculate and very comfortable. We loved the pool and all the extras especially the kayaks and fishing rods!
It was so peaceful and yet all attractions and shops were very close by.
Thank you Brad for an incredible vacation! We hope to come back again!
The house was clean, beautiful, and had everything you need. The pool was excellent while the views to the canal was perfect.
The neighborhood was quiet and safe and there are plenty of restaurants to try.
Overall, we will be back to this beautiful house and will recommend it to our family.
Thank you Brad for the seamless communication!

Three Month Vacation Year Two
We had the pleasure of spending another 3 months in Jill and Brad’s beautiful home. They are excellent hosts and supply the house with all of the amenities you need to feel as if you are at home. The house was clean and the pool was warm what more can you ask for.
The property was great with all of the comforts of home. The location is very quiet and safe. Very central to many things. The only thing we felt was missing from the property was dining furniture out on the lanai. We would have loved to have our meals and play games out there, but the seating on the lanai is not conducive to that. Wonderful property though and would highly recommend for a family vacay.
If you are on the fence about this place, don’t be! The house was absolutely perfect for my family. Super clean, nicely laid out and the pool overlooking the canal was awesome. Brad is the best host I have ever had renting through VRBO, his communication throughout the whole process was impeccable. We had a minor hiccup with the A/C and he had a service tech out first thing on a Sunday morning. The location is great, easy access to all the activities we wanted to do. Will be renting again in the future and recommending to all of our friends and family.
Palms Over Water was the perfect place for our relaxing vacation. Almost anything you could need for activities is provided (bikes, kayaks, life vests, beach chairs, etc) and the kitchen has every dish or pan you could need for home cooked meals. The neighborhood was quiet but just a short distance from grocery stores and local restaurants. Brad was quick to respond to a question we had and really thoughtful with the welcome packet & guidance touches throughout the house. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and fishing off the dock. Our favorite restaurants were the Lobster Lady Seafood & Urban Buzz Coffee. We would definitely stay again if in the area!
This is a beautiful home, nicely decorated. It is clean and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for our family of six to spread out. Kitchen is on the small size but it is modern and fully functional and met all of our needs (we cooked one meal each day). A quality Weber Grill did a great job on New York Strip Steaks and some red snapper! The pool was great - kids spent a LOT of time in it. Lanai was a wonderful spot to hang out and do nothing. Location is excellent - a full-service grocery story, plus Wal-Mart, Walgreens, etc., are within five minutes. Only downside is we didn't have enough time to enjoy all the ameneties (i.e. we didn't get a chance to fish and only had time for one brief kayak trip). Oh, and the traffic is ridiculous, but that's SW Florida for you! Day trips to Audubon Corkscrew center in the Everglades, Fort Meyers Beach, Sanibel Island - all within an hour drive. I would recommend this to my friends with NO reservations.
