Our family of four stayed 10 days over Christmas and New Year at this home.
Highlights…
The home is immaculately clean. This is not an easy task with lots of glass tables, granite countertops, and sparkling stainless everywhere. The cleaning crew must be amazing! The property manager, Remy, was helpful. He not only showed us how all the controls for the pool and hot tub worked he also saved my sanity when I realized this is what I call a “basic home,” meaning they don’t supply more than one pod for laundry, one pod for dish soap, one roll of paper towels, etc. Commonly referred to as a “starter pack.” I didn’t see this in the listing so I wasn't prepared to go out and shop right before Christmas. However, since this is becoming more common in rental homes it didn't seem like a big deal until I had already braved the crazy Christmas crowds and purchased everything I thought we needed for the house only to realize on Christmas Eve that we had one garbage bag and no hand soap. Remy came to the rescue and not only delivered the items on that day but apologized for the inconvenience. This little act of kindness meant the world to me in my stressed state.
What needs improving…
The house itself is very nice, however, the kitchen tools need some work and updates. For example, we tried to open a can with the one can opener in the house, sadly it was so rusted it wouldn’t cut through the can and we had to pry it open. The few frying pans that are available are unfortunately rusty and give off pieces of “stuff” when you cook. Overall we found we needed to improvise on many kitchen basics when cooking. The good news is that in the big picture, these are little things that can be remedied quickly with a quick inventory and a shopping trip.
From my experience, the owner is easy to work with, fair, and honest. Given this and the fact that the house is very nice and amazingly clean, I would recommend renting this property for your next trip to Cape Coral!
