This house was perfect for our stay. The kids loved all the space inside and outside to run around. The pool heater was great so we could use the pool anytime we wanted to.
Very spacious. Fun that it has arcade games and a pool table. Pool was really nice. Overall the place needs a deep clean and updating.

Good in theory
The overall property is nicely done. The pool table is a fun idea, the view is nice and you can surely feel comfortable in this house. Upon arrival however, we discovered that the pool area was full of toys and other stuff scattered around as if no one cared to clean it up before new guests arrived. Our impression of the tidiness was not very good in total. The fridge was dirty, the dirty dishes were still in the dishwasher etc. Needs some work done.

Okay
Location was beautiful on the water, pool table and games were nice, beds comfortable but the photo’s definitely made it look much nicer then it was. I contacted the owner with my issues. Cabinets/drawers in the kitchen were sticky, master bathroom shower was very dirty (black), the dryer didn’t work unless I had a ladder holding it closed, each kitchen drawer had crumbs which I cleaned half of them, the AC turning on makes a loud sound in the master which wakes you up when it kicks on, the light sensor in the master bathroom wakes up anyone else you have in the room since it’s so bright… had an issue getting into the house when we first arrived which the owners quickly fixed but was annoying after a long drive. I wouldn’t stay at this place again and have never given a poor review.
I don't even know were to start. The management company was very difficult to contact, I tried several times to speak to someone and they where never available, they send messages that they prefer to speak via email. No personal touch, even when I contacted them to discussed my concerns.
We arrived very late and the code on the main door was not even programed, that gave me a sense that the house was not supervised prior to our arrival. Once we were able to get our code (I have to say, at least they responded within 5 minutes, the only time). We walked the house and it was EXTRMELY dirty. Rooms, Bathrooms (hair all over the bathroom, main entrance dirty, it was a NIGHTMARE, I wish I can share the pictures I took to prove my comments.
We did not have enough towels for 6 people. The WI-FI it was one of the slowest we have ever experienced, I called the management for help and they never responded, I had to used my personal hotspot from my phone.
The pool table, OMG!!! The sticks should go straight to the garbage, all the tip were broken, none of them were in working order. The only thing I can say that was nice is the pool as it looks like it was renovated and a nice backyard view, other than that, with all respect, I believe that the management company and/or owners should really invest before putting this property on the market, the exterior of the property also need some work and cleanliness.

Some Good, Some Bad
We debated what rating to give. Most wanted to give a 2. I decided to be more generous and give a 3.
Good: The home has good size, layout, & location. Also amenities like the access on water with kayaks. We did not use the pool.
Bad: The home is very poorly kept. It feels like cheap college housing: very worn down and not clean. At arrival it smelled VERY strongly of disinfectant to cove up something. One bed had a corner of the sheet roll up in the night. When making the bed a prominent and fresh large blood stain was seen on the mattress pad.
The kitchen had clean countertops, however the stove was grimy. There were also very aged splashes of something on the floor/cupboards as if a dropped container of tomato sauce had fallen and splashed all over and never cleaned. It looked quite old.
The gas grill was in poor physical condition and did not turn on. All cooking done on the stove.
The thermostat did not work. We could not adjust. The first night was very cold (and we're from Minnesota, we know cold). Later in warmer weather we could not adjust it down.
Positive Note: communication was very good. We emailed and received quick and professional replies. A crew arrived and changed all the bedding and cleaned surfaces including the stove. The thermostat was never fixed. It remained defective.
On balance - just an OK place to stay. We would not stay in this home again. But responses to questions were quick.
Enjoyed our stay. Nothing fancy but exactly what we wanted. We even extended our stay one night. The pool and back porch was great. The kids enjoyed the kayaks. It was a bit too chilly for my Florida family to swim in the pool. If we need a house in Cape Coral again, we would love to stay here again.
Nice place to stay especially if you have a larger group, very nice neighborhood.

House has a lot of potential. Unfortunately the house was filthy. It looked like the house had not been cleaned in months. One of the beds was a mess upon arrival like someone had slept in it. Towels in hall closet smelled like mold. Clean towels were left in dryer. They advertised the tvs have (YouTube tv) connected, none of them were logged in and the WiFi was so bad the only way we could log into Netflix was using iPhone as a hot spot. Good location, pool was clean and reason for two stars and not one.
We had fun with the pool table and the home was clean and the beds were comfortable. I did address some very minor concerns with the owner and responses were quick and adequate.
No water, fire ants, and roaches!!We arrived and unloaded the car. When we started walking around looking at the house we noticed all the fire ant piles throughout the house. We thought ok, not biggie we kill them and clean up. Went to change a baby diaper on the bed and noticed all the ants on the bed too. Every bed had fire ants on them, also resulting in a child getting bitten while on the bed.Went to turn on the sink to run cold water over the ant bite, well wow would you know NO running water!I messaged host immediately about the no water issue,(on VRBO, and emergency number they send) no way can we stay with no water. They responded to the message by saying they were looking into it. After 45 minutes we still had not heard back nor would they answere calls or texts. We left. After 2 hrs they wanted us to go to another property further away, and it was a hassel to get my money back. It was so frustrating. I still have not received a full refund, only partial. PLEASE DONT GO HERE, YOU WILL REGRET IT!

1. There was no toilet paper
2. The linens were dirty and the towels smelled as if they had soured in wash
3. There were no trash bags
4. The trash can outside had a ton of maggots in it
5. There is a moldy spot/water damage by front window where ants are everywhere
6. Propane is empty for grill
7. House had not been cleaned/showers were gross
8. Other peoples clothing were left in drawers
9. A bunch of hair/debris in pool
10. Closet door in hallway is broke
11. Pool table is in poor shape
12. One of the arcade games does not work (pool table & arcade being one reason we booked this property for kids)
TLDR: AVOID!! They don’t properly clean the home and they don’t care to make things right. Stayed less than 12 hours because the house was absolutely disgusting. Literal ant hills in the shower! Live and active ants throughout the house, a toilet was full of dead ants, we also found dead ants in the beds we hesitantly slept in. The dishwasher was full of water and had food scraps inside, the walls and baseboards were filthy, windowsills looked as if they hadn’t been wiped down in years, pool was full of pool toys and even had goggles thrown in it. The floors were filthy, I took a wet paper towel to one area and was able to remove the staining so I wonder what their “cleaners” are actually doing. We even found egg shells under a table!! Messaged the host when we arrived around 10:30pm and of course got no reply but we understood because it was late but there weren’t any messages waiting for us when we woke up around 7 the next morning. We reached out again and got nothing until we finally decided to pack up the truck and head home. The host said they’d reach out to the cleaners to see if anyone was available, we told them we were already loading the truck and they went silent again, left around 9:45am. When Vrbo called them they claimed they were driving all day and couldn’t text…so call? They claimed in a message that the home was professionally cleaned before our arrival…there is no way this is true. They didn’t handle it well and refused to give us even a partial refund.

Propiedad q enamora desde que pones un pie dentro ,muy bien acomodada y con todo lo q necesitas es un sueño ,la recomendaría siempre
Nothing but great things to say about this place — We had a great time! Perfect size for my family. Plenty of beds with large kitchen and living area. We really enjoyed kayaking in the lake! Thank you so much!
Absolutely gorgeous home!!! Tasteful decorations & lots of amenities! Everything we needed was included! The hosts were also very responsive and answered every question we had! We really did have a great time. We wish we had more time there. Thank you for having us, you do truly have a little gem there!
Quiet neighborhood! Wide open house which worked out perfect for us with a wheelchair user. The pool table was a surprise and provided something to do with all the rain. Picked it because of the lake and kayaks but couldn’t figure out how we would get out of the kayaks. Lanai was awesome to sit and read during the rain storm. The bathrooms and kitchen are original to the house - not an issue for us
We will definitely try and stay here again.
