Why Cape Coral, Florida?
If you love the water, Cape Coral, Florida is the place for you. Sunny days, water access and proximity to the Gulf of Mexico are the main attractions of this tropical community.
With more canals than Venice, Italy, over 300 days of sunshine each year and 200+ rental homes available – you can select the season and accommodations that are perfect for you.
Water Access The city is located on the Caloosahatchee River, America’s healthiest fresh water estuary. Many vacation homes offer excellent access to both the river and Gulf – just out the back door.
Area Beaches The city has its own beach on the Caloosahatchee River that my family really enjoys. Many guests also enjoy the white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico nearby. Ft. Myers Beach is a busy, activity oriented community with shopping, restaurants, jet skis and parasailing that attracts thousands of college students every spring break. Sanibel Island has pristine beaches known for the amazing shells that can be collected when the tide goes out. It is a favorite for those who enjoy a more leisurely pace. Captiva is more remote and known for gorgeous sunsets that draw applause from the onlookers. There are also beaches on “boater’s only” islands in the area.
Burrowing Owls, Manatees, Dolphins and more Southwest Florida is home to some unique wildlife . . . and it can be in your yard! At both of the homes we own, we have seen manatees and dolphins in the canals and there are burrowing owls on both blocks. If you relax, sit back and watch, you can see amazing nature on parade.
Affordable rental homes with private swimming pools on the water If you have never stayed in a rental home before; this is the place to try it. Choose from the hundreds of vacation homes on the water with their own swimming pool and dock. Some even come with their own boat!
