About this property

Modern Coastal Home w/Heated Pool & Waterfront Views!

Modern & contemporary living at it's best! In a nutshell, this home offers a superb location, gulf access boating, beautiful new decor, clean accommodations, a relaxing atmosphere & lots of included amenities; all at the best value! Book your vacation now and get ready to relax, enjoy & make new memories! Check-in begins at 3:00 pm so you can begin your vacation earlier than most.

Your next vacation will have something for you, your friends and the whole family to experience! Whether it is the ability to dock the boat(bring-your-own or rent) during your stay, fish from the large captain's dock, kayak in the canals, enjoy the heated pool or visit multiple nearby beaches, there is literally something for everyone. You will only be 12 minutes from the Cape Coral Yacht Club that has a small beach area and awesome restaurant called The Boat House. The larger beaches like Ft. Myers Beach & Bunche Beach are only 20 to 25 minutes from the home. Other nearby beaches include Sanibel Beach, Naples Beach & Captiva Beach which are anywhere from 35 to 55 minutes away.

The home is spacious with over 1,850 sq. ft. and includes 4 beds, 2 bathrooms & 2 large living rooms. The separate living spaces are great because everyone can spread out and enjoy a vacation without being cramped. The home accommodates a maximum of 8 guests with the use of the queen sofa sleeper sofa in the front living room.

Just step outside one of the 2 sliding patio doors to bask in the sun or swim in the heated pool that is fully screen enclosed! The pool(solar & electric) is heated between 86 to 88 degrees year-round without needing to pay additional pool heating fees. The Eastern and Southern sun exposures on the pool will get you that glowing tan throughout the day. When you are wanting relief from the sun, retreat to the wonderful shaded area under the large lanai to stay cool. Take some time to walk around the outside of the property to appreciate the colorful plantings & white sea shell beds. Also, try to discover which palm trees inspired the name Palms Over Water.

The inside of the home was redone and refurnished in 2021 to give Palms Over Water its modern, coastal contemporary vibe. A sense of Florida relaxation will welcome you as soon as you enter the property. And if relaxing for you involves staying connected online or watching TV, we have you covered with high-speed fiber optic internet (750 mbps) & 4 Smart TV's...including a 70" Smart TV and outdoor TV on the lanai.

Palms Over Water Villa has been equipped with everything you need to feel at home during your stay. The fully stocked kitchen is fresh and clean with new sparkling quartz countertops and white tile backsplash. Coffee is provided along with all the pots and pans needed for cooking a homemade meal. There is a pass-through window to the outside lanai bar countertop. The inside kitchen counter also has a breakfast bar. No need to worry about bringing beach gear as the home offers complimentary beach towels, beach chairs, hard-sided and soft sided coolers, beach umbrellas and beach toys! See photos or inquire for amenities that may not be photographed.

It is important to us that you are comfortable! We want you to have the best night's sleep possible during your stay. The primary bedroom has a king-size bed and it has been appointed with a brand new iComfort by Serta hybrid cooling mattress. The 2nd bedroom has a Sealy Queen Mattress and the 3rd bedroom has a new ZINUS Green Team Cooling Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress w/Pocket Inner Springs. The new sofa queen sleeper in the living room has an upgraded, gel, memory foam mattress. Enjoy your vacation even when you are sleeping!

IT WILL BE OUR PLEASURE TO HOST YOU:

Before your arrival and at check-in, we will be in communication with you to ensure everything is ready for your stay. It will be our pleasure to recommend the best restaurants and attractions that will suit your needs while on your vacation. Our goal is to make sure you are well taken care of and that we earn the ability to ask for your repeat reservations. We want you to have an experience that you and your family will remember for a lifetime!

An ideal family vacation rental

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Palms Over Water Villa last week. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The communication was smooth and prompt, making the booking process hassle-free. The location is ideal for various beaches and other activities. Our children enjoyed swimming in the pool and having their own bedroom space. We will definitely stay here again.

Everything and more!

Our stay at Palms over Water was exactly what we were hoping for and so much more! The home was not only beautiful but immaculate and very comfortable. We loved the pool and all the extras especially the kayaks and fishing rods! It was so peaceful and yet all attractions and shops were very close by. Thank you Brad for an incredible vacation! We hope to come back again!

Year 3 Stay

We just finished our third year staying in this wonderful house for the winter. Year over year Jill and Brad continue to make upgrades to this great house. Jill and Brad are great hosts and if you need something they will do their best to get you what is needed. I would recommend this as a place to stay when you are looking for a home away from home.

Beautiful waterfront home

Palms Over Water was the perfect place for our relaxing vacation. Almost anything you could need for activities is provided (bikes, kayaks, life vests, beach chairs, etc) and the kitchen has every dish or pan you could need for home cooked meals. The neighborhood was quiet but just a short distance from grocery stores and local restaurants. Brad was quick to respond to a question we had and really thoughtful with the welcome packet & guidance touches throughout the house. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and fishing off the dock. Our favorite restaurants were the Lobster Lady Seafood & Urban Buzz Coffee. We would definitely stay again if in the area!

Family Vacay

If you are on the fence about this place, don’t be! The house was absolutely perfect for my family. Super clean, nicely laid out and the pool overlooking the canal was awesome. Brad is the best host I have ever had renting through VRBO, his communication throughout the whole process was impeccable. We had a minor hiccup with the A/C and he had a service tech out first thing on a Sunday morning. The location is great, easy access to all the activities we wanted to do. Will be renting again in the future and recommending to all of our friends and family.

Great getaway

The property was great with all of the comforts of home. The location is very quiet and safe. Very central to many things. The only thing we felt was missing from the property was dining furniture out on the lanai. We would have loved to have our meals and play games out there, but the seating on the lanai is not conducive to that. Wonderful property though and would highly recommend for a family vacay.

Hard to improve upon!

This is a beautiful home, nicely decorated. It is clean and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for our family of six to spread out. Kitchen is on the small size but it is modern and fully functional and met all of our needs (we cooked one meal each day). A quality Weber Grill did a great job on New York Strip Steaks and some red snapper! The pool was great - kids spent a LOT of time in it. Lanai was a wonderful spot to hang out and do nothing. Location is excellent - a full-service grocery story, plus Wal-Mart, Walgreens, etc., are within five minutes. Only downside is we didn't have enough time to enjoy all the ameneties (i.e. we didn't get a chance to fish and only had time for one brief kayak trip). Oh, and the traffic is ridiculous, but that's SW Florida for you! Day trips to Audubon Corkscrew center in the Everglades, Fort Meyers Beach, Sanibel Island - all within an hour drive. I would recommend this to my friends with NO reservations.

Sehr schönes Haus

Wir waren 2 Pärchen und hatten das Haus für 12 Übernachtungen gebucht. Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Sehr schöne Lage. Der Check in war sehr einfach. Brad, der Vermieter war sehr nett, hat uns bei allen Fragen sofort geholfen und war immer ansprechbar. Sehr schöne Einrichtung. Der Aussenbereich war auch sehr schön. Kajaks und Fahrräder standen kostenlos zur Verfügung. Wir kommen gerne wieder und können das Haus nur weiter empfehlen

Relaxing Family Get Away

My family and I had a great time at Palms Over Water! The house is decorated cute and beachy! Everything was very clean and stocked with what we needed. We had plenty of towels and clean sheets. We especially loved kayaking, the iguanas were the highlight. We caught a fish off the dock and were able to enjoy the pool. The bikes were a nice touch and very comfy to ride. We would definitely go back and recommend this stay to family and friends. The host was also great and very responsive.

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Brad! My wife and I live in Lakeville, MN with our two boys and two Yorkie dogs. I have been a licensed Real Estate Agent in Minnesota for the past 20 years. My wife Jill has been a special education school teacher her whole career.

For over a year we were looking for a new opportunity for our next real estate adventure that included the dream of a vacation spot. Jill researched to find the perfect city that our family would enjoy a few times a year and would also be an attractive vacation spot that others would enjoy. There were a lot of great options in different parts of the country but we kept coming back to Cape Coral. It offered a variety of beautiful beaches and warm weather...sign us up! What stood out most to us about Cape Coral was everything we kept hearing and reading about the fun, laid-back, boating life that Cape Coral had to offer. At that point, we knew that we had to find a home on a gulf access canal in Cape Coral, FL. It has been an amazing experience and we are loving every minute of it!

Why they chose this property

Our mission is to offer our guests great value, comfort, and the cleanest stay while vacationing at our vacation rental. We want our guest to leave happy and excited to either rebook or tell their friends about their vacation!
