Why should I rent a house?

Renting a home is the most economical way to vacation. The cost per night is less. You have your own kitchen. You have your own bedroom. After a fun day of being at the beach, boating, etc., you can relax by your own pool. You don’t have to go back to a small hotel room or share a pool with other condo owners. Plus you can fish off our back dock. Back

Why rent our house?

You will deal directly with the owner. You don’t have to go through an uncaring agency. You are only a 10-15 minute boat ride to the Caloosahatchee River. The basin view is incredible. Our rates are the most competitive you can find especially considering the proximity to the Gulf. We have close to 4,000 square feet of covered area. Our pool is oversized and heated. This allows you to swim during the winter months. Back

What are some of the house features?

Number one is the location. You can access the river from two different locations in less than 15 minutes. From there you are only 15-20 minutes from the Gulf. Some homes are so far in that it could take over 45 minutes or more to get out of the canals. Our home has a huge 2,000 square lanai/pool area. The pool is oversized and has a little bar table in it. The lanai has stereo speakers, two bedroom access and bathroom access. The master bathroom has a large walk-in shower Jacuzzi tub and is separate from the other bedrooms. We have a large screen TV in the family room and cable TV in all three bedrooms. Back

Is the house completely furnished?

Yes! Our house includes everything you would expect in a house. Some of the items included are a kitchen stocked full of dishes, cups, silverware, pot and pans. There is a coffee maker, blender and microwave. Bedrooms are equipped with linens, TV's, dresser, alarm clocks. We provide bath towels. There is a washer and dryer for your use. Back

Is it too hot in the summer?

The best part of Cape Coral is that it is surrounded by water. You have the Gulf of Mexico to the west. The Caloosahatchee River to the east. Plus the whole city has 400 miles of canals running through it. All this water creates delightful breezes. It is warm, but when you factor in the breezes and the water location it really is not any warmer than any landlocked areas in other parts of the country. Back

Is your pool heated?

Yes it is. This allows for comfortable swimming during the winter months. Back

Why Cape Coral?

Great weather! Great Fishing! Great Beaches! Our house is only 20-30 minutes from the airport. Very little chance of a hurricane. Easy drive to Miami, Tampa or Orlando. Being in Southwest Florida practically guarantees you will have a warm winter. Back

Do you have to worry about hurricanes?

Hurricanes are always a concern. But due to the geographical location the chances are really minimized compared to other locations on the gulf coast. Of the over 50 major hurricanes in the last 100 years that have made landfall in the Gulf of Mexico, only three have come close and the one that did was a category 4. Back

How do I go about renting your house?

The first thing is to check the availability calendar. Once you have your week picked out, call us or e-mail us with your week and we'll mark that week as pending. We'll have you fill out the application and mail in the $350.00 security deposit. Once we have your deposit we'll change the week to reserved. 45 days before your vacation we require that we receive your weekly lease payment. About 5-10 days before your week, we will arrange for the key. (There is a $50.00 lost key fee) Back

Besides the weekly rental rate, are there any other costs?

There is the $350.00 deposit. A $150.00 cleaning fee will be deducted from the deposit upon checkout. There is a 11 % sales tax. You would be responsible for any long distance calls. To protect against abusive use of the utilities, you have a $75.00 credit.(Normal is $50.00-$60.00 usage) Utilities used beyond that will be deducted from the deposit. (Very, Very Rare) Of course any damages will be paid out of the deposit plus any amounts not covered by the deposit. Back

How soon do I need to send the deposit and my lease payment?

The sooner the better. Your week is not reserved until we receive the $350.00 deposit along with the application. You will need to have the lease payment and signed lease to us at least 45 days before your week starts. If we don't receive the the lease payment within 45 days, you will forfeit your deposit. (Unless we find someone to rent your week) If you are making application within 45 days, we will require the deposit, lease payment, application and lease sent at the same time. Back

When do I get my deposit back?

Your deposit minus the cleaning fee, long distance calls, utilities in excess of $75.00 and damages are returned in approximately 30 days after you check out. Back

What if have to cancel?

Once we receive the deposit and the week is taken off the market, your deposit is non-refundable. If we don't receive your lease payment within 45 days of your week, we make your week available and you forfeit your deposit. If we have received your lease payment and we have least 21 days notice before your week starts, you will receive 50% of your lease payment back. If you need to cancel within 21 days, we will refund 25% of your lease payment. But remember your deposit is non-refundable. If you can find a suitable renter to replace your week we would be willing to do that. Back

Can I bring my pets?

Sorry, no pets are allowed! Back

When can I check-in and when do I check-out?

Check- in time is Saturday at 4:00pm and check-out is Saturday at 10:00am. Back

Do you rent on a day to day basis?
