About this property

Family Friendly, Waterfront, Gulf Access, Elect. pool heater, Private dock.

Recent news: one of the recent tenants caught a 5 foot tarpon right off of our dock. There are loads of other fish and manatees can be seen at times. There are lots of catfish off the dock also (great for the kids to catch). Recently there have been white rays in the canal too.

This beautiful home is in S/W Cape Coral in the most desirable Pelican neighborhood. It is perfect for couples, families and business travelers who want a peaceful, safe neighborhood right on the water. For the fishermen there is great fishing off of your own dock. It has a fish attractant light that makes night fishing a challenge seeing all of the large fish and then trying to catch them. If you have your own boat or rent one locally, you can leave it right outside your door on your dock lift.

The home is equipped with solar panels to heat the pool, but a back-up electric pool heat pump can raise and maintain the temperature to the high 80's every day, including cloudy and unusually cool days. By keeping the solar panels feeding the pool heater and the use of the pool cover at night electricity usage is at a minimum.

The home is close to downtown Cape Coral and to some of the finest beaches in S/W Florida. It is a great place to relax by the heated pool or to head out to the beaches or boating to the Gulf. It is in a great area of Florida with something for everyone.

The home is fully equipped with anything you might need for an enjoyable vacation or lengthy stay. It has a Playstation 3 with 50 of the top games. It has a king-sized bed in the Master bedroom that has it's own sliding door directly out into the lanai and pool area.

There is a 2nd bedroom with a queen sized bed that has a direct view of the water and the dock.

There is a 3rd bedroom that has two twin beds for the children or adults.

There is a 4th bedroom that has a queen sized bed and plenty of dresser storage.

There is a large breakfast bar between the living room and the kitchen that allows the cook to interact with those in the living room and to see and observe the water and the pool area.

The living room has two new leather full size reclining sofas, a 55" HDTV, a PS3 with 50 games and access right out to the pool, outside dining and lanai.

There is a formal dining room for those who want to dine more formally.

There is an office for those that need to do a little work while on vacation. It includes a scanner/copier/printer and an area separate from everyone else in order to get some work done if you need to.

There are local handymen, cleaners and service people on retainer should there be any unexpected problems.

We want you to have an enjoyable visit and will do everything we can to make that happen.

Perfect house on the water
My wife, son (3 years old), and daughter (10 months old) stayed 16 nights at Art's property and absolutely loved it. We spent each day in the heated pool and each night eating with the pool and canal as relaxing backdrops. Art was very communicative and accommodating. The neighbors were also quite friendly, further making you feel at home. The house has all the amenities one would need for a stay. There is really not much more for which one could ask. Thank you again, Art, for welcoming our family into your home!

All the Comforts of Home!
As a VRBO owner this is the first time I have actually rented through VRBO myself. We loved the house we chose and all of the reviews were extremely accurate! The home really has everything you could need. Our group of 5 ranged in age from 14 to 85 and it was perfect. Thank you Art!!

Great House and Very Clean!
This was our second time staying at this house. We loved it so much last year, we knew we had to come back. The house is very spacious and clean. We absolutely loved the pool and lanai area. We were out there everyday. The house has everything you need. Art was wonderful to work with and so accommodating. He is quick to respond back. Hopefully we will be able to come back next year!

A wonderful rental and relaxing fun time! 😎
We REALLY enjoyed our time at this VRBO rental!! We’ve rented many throughout Florida and Hilton head Island and this has been the most comfortable and relaxing by far. I said right away it’s not really a rental it’s more like a home with all you need for a good vacation. You really do just need to bring your suitcase. The large heated pool and lanai area is fantastic with the lovely salt water canal view. We love to swim and could actually do laps. 🏊🏻‍♀️🏊‍♂️ The kitchen was well stocked and has everything you need which was great. Because of Covid we ended up cooking/BBQing in a lot. We did enjoy eating outdoors at the Boathouse, Rum Runners. We had good luck with delivery using Uber eats from Fords Garage. Had really good pizza delivered twice from Lelulo’s. My favorite time of the day was early evening chips, salsa and Margaritas on the large lanai watching the water. Serene and beautiful. Art’s Communication was excellent right from the get-go and all the way throughout when we had a question. His informational booklet was really helpful and answered most of any questions you’d need concerning TV’s, pool use, garbage day, etc. It was very clean upon arrival. The furniture is very comfortable and you don’t always find that in a rental. The pool table was an added bonus. We haven’t played pool for many years but enjoyed it almost every night and had some good laughs. Pet friendly was important for us. Plenty of sidewalks to walk the dogs every day then cool off in the pool after. We are building a house very close to this rental so we were busy and my husband wished he had more time to fish off the dock. 🎣 Love the quiet friendly area. We hope to use it one more time before our house is done. Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Art Shaughnessy

Host profile image
I am a retired police office who has longed to live in S/W Florida in the winter and then when I retire from my second PI full-time job I will live there full time. Which I hope is soon. I have owned rental property in Lady Lake and own two rental homes in Cape Coral. This home is the one we hope to live in permanently and yes I was lucky enough to go on The Price is Right with Bob Barker.

Why they chose this property

I have traveled to Florida for years and have owned a home in Lady Lake, but this area has really won me over. It is in Southwest Florida which is warmer than northern and mid-Florida in the Winter. it is right on the gulf Coast of Florida and this property has a dock on one of the largest Gulf Access canals. It has a private dock and a boat lift. I have owned boats much of my life and this couldn't get any better. I can get up in the morning, sit on the dock with a cup of coffee or climb on my own boat (coming) and take a leisurely boat ride while doing some fishing out into the bay and the gulf.

The home is large enough to comfortably accommodate all of your family including other adults and youngsters and those other family and guests coming to visit.

What makes this property unique

If you are bringing toddlers or young children there is a removable child safety fence that goes completely around the pool. There are extra inside child proof (high up) locks on all of the outdoor doors. There is an alarm system that makes a small dinging sound when any of the outside doors are opened (this can be shut off if bothersome). There is a hotel type safe in the home for any valuables. There are HDTV's and DVD and Blu-Ray players in all of the bedrooms.
