About this property

Villa Saratoga Lake with Exquisite Sunrises & Views!

This lake house is the place to stay during your vacation to our beautiful sunny side Southwest Florida! The view of Saratoga Lake is the most exquisite out of all the properties on this particular lake. The sunrises will not only capture your heart, but also your soul so be sure to set your alarms early and have your camera nearby, because you don't want to miss this breathtaking view!

Enjoy a relaxing and calm environment on our fresh water lake by taking advantage of fishing from our huge deck or even taking the kayaks out for a sunset cruise. In the evenings, you can chill by the pool while admiring the lake view on your own private and spacious lanai. And during our cooler nights, you can warm things up by our gas fire pit or hop into our electric heated saltwater pool. Our pool has southern exposure, meaning that the pool is in the sunshine majority of the day.

In just a quick walk down the street, you have access to one of our cities Recreational Parks. This 5 acre neighborhood park offers a variety of recreational activities, and is a great place to have a picnic or gathering overlooking beautiful Saratoga Lake. A picture of the kids playground is in photos. Some of the park amenities include: kayak launch, basketball courts, fitness trail with a paved walking path, horseshoe pits, picnic shelter with BBQ grill, restrooms, and a kids fenced in playground area (for ages 2-12).

Traveling with kids? Consider taking the family to Sun Splash Family Waterpark, Tropical Breeze Fun Park with 18-hole mini golf course, and a bowling alley at Bowland Coral Lanes. These 3 locations are all just a few minutes away; you could walk to them. And just a couple minutes away from the house is our local Publix grocery store, Hana's Japanese steakhouse, and lots of fast food options whenever you need a quick bite on the go, and other sit down dining restaurants within 10 minutes. There is also a Crunch fitness gym and other crossfit gyms located nearby.

Sun Splash Family Waterpark is Southwest Florida’s largest waterpark with more than 14 acres of slides, pools, food and fun for all ages. It is open seasonally from March through September. A few pictures are uploaded for you to see the waterpark.

Florida is known for its beautiful beaches. You'll be hard-pressed to find a place in Florida with quieter and calmer shores than Sanibel Island. Here, the pastime is "shelling" – collecting assorted, colorful seashells along the sand – rather than partying, which makes this beach town an excellent choice for families. For the best seashells, head to Bowman's Beach or Blind Pass Beach. Also, save time for a visit to Lighthouse Beach Park, where you can cast a line off of the beach's pier and snap pictures of its 19th-century lighthouse. It is voted #2 in Best Florida Beaches according to U.S. News. We are located approximately 40 minutes away from this island, with Captiva Island being just a little further. There are tons of other local beaches nearby.

Southwest Florida has a variety of shopping opportunities, from discount outlet malls to upscale specialty boutiques. Shopping is a pleasure at the beautifully landscaped outdoor malls. Most shopping centers feature excellent dining choices as well. For upscale shopping, you’ll want to visit Fifth Avenue South in downtown Naples or the Waterside Shops at Pelican Bay, located an hour away. Another shopping destination with a wide variety of shopping and dining options is Coconut Point Mall in Estero. Spend the day at Sanibel Island, where you won’t want to miss Periwinkle Place and then on your way home you can stop by Sanibel Outlets for some huge bargains on name brands. Discount shoppers will also want to plan a trip to the Miromar Outlet Mall at Corkscrew Road and Interstate 75 in Estero, about 40 minutes away from the house.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about our rental house property.

Paradise!!

This was our first time staying at this property and we will definitely be returning! This was a multi generation trip and the house met everyone 's needs. The owners had thought of all the details to enhance our time at the house. Most importantly, our family made special memories and enjoyed time together. We especially enjoyed the pool, pier, kayak and nature. The palm trees, birds and sunrises were perfection!!! ofevery need

We would highly recommend this amazing property!!

Perfect holiday location

Dear Jürgen and Peaches, thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home for over a month. We enjoyed every minute and every aspect of our stay. Special thanks, Peaches, for the beautiful Christmas decorations in and around the house. The house itself felt like a real home to us. The layout and the decoration of the house made sure that we, together with our friends, had a perfect vacation. Not only the house, but also the location on the lake, the pool (wonderfully heated to 91F / 32C), the deck on the water, the BBQ and of course the great fire pit in the garden where we spent many happy hours in the evening, made this one of the best vacations ever in Florida. The contact we had with you was very pleasant. You always respected our privacy, but you were there when needed (which was rarely) and our toast to the new year will always stay with us as a fond memory. We would love to come back here again.

Perfect relaxing vacation for our family

This house was the perfect getaway for our family to relax and recharge. The views over the lake were amazing, including kayaking in the canals. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor spaces, pool, and day trips to Sanibel. The owners next door were gracious hosts and made us feel like part of the family. We will be back!

Cape Coral delight

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at Villa Saratoga Lake. Our reservation was last-minute and from the moment of requesting the reservation throughout our stay, our hosts could not have been more responsive. The home is exactly as advertised and suited us perfectly. The view from the pool area toward the lake is indeed exquisite. Situated on a canal leading to the lake led to beautiful sunrises, views of water and foliage as well as "wildlife" including birds and rabbits. The location was also perfect for all we planned to do while visiting Southwest Florida. We were delighted to meet our hosts, Peaches and Juergen on our arrival. It was almost like being welcome by friends and they remained in touch throughout our stay to be sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to the possibility of staying here again on future visits and definitely recommend this home for your Florida retreat.

Simply Amazing!!

Over the years we have rented many vacation homes at the Cape and this by far was the best rental we've had. First, the owners truly care about people and your experience, not just a rental. We felt like family. Second the photos simply cannot capture the setting and tranquil feeling of the property adequately. It is truly beautifully landscaped and very well maintained. Third, the home was spotless and very well appointed. The shower system was amazing, the pool was very warm and crystal clear. They also provided everything you could possibly need and then some. 😊 Fourth, the location was super close to restaurants and shopping. Even had a park down the street. We are so grateful to have found this vacation gem!! Was very difficult to leave!! Thank you Peaches and Juergen! Can't wait to go back!!

Amazing place you'll love it.

Our family truly enjoyed the time that we spent together at this home. The owners were conveniently located right next door and were basically available 24/7 to answer any questions or address any concerns. The sunrises were some of the most beautiful that i had ever seen. They seemed to shimmer across lake Saratoga for what seemed to be hours. Unfortunately it rained every evening that we were there and the nights were filled with the familiar sounds of southern Florida and a relatively cool breeze. Mosquitoes were not a factor on the patio as it and the pool are completely screened in. The dock, walkways, flowerbeds and large palm treeswere all illuminated in a very elegant lighting scheme. I personally felt like I was worth a million bucks while I sat around the very nice glass filled natural gas fire pit with my husband. My whole family seemed to really relax and do exactly what is intended on vacation. My boys were able to fish right off of the dock or they could use any of 3 supplied kayaks. My daughter stayed in the pool if she wasn't asleep or with us at the beach which is only about a 30-45 minute drive, depending on traffic. Also my kids loved the fact that there is a water park with a pool, slides and a lazy river located basically across the street. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that is staying anywhere in or around Fort Myers/Cape Coral area.

Tolles Haus mit Pool und Seeblick für pures Urlaubsfeeling

Wir haben bereits vorher Kontakt mit Petra und Jürgen aufgenommen und alle Details zum "Check-In" geklärt, was über die Chatfunktion sehr gut funktioniert hat. Angekommen in Cape Coral haben das Haus, die Umgebung und unsere tollen Vermieter unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Das Haus war so liebevoll eingerichtet, es war super sauber und sehr gepflegt, die Ausstattung war tip-top, es fehlte uns an nichts und wir konnten unsere Familienzeit in vollen Zügen genießen. Der Pool ist beheizt und der Blick über den See von der Terrasse und den Schlafzimmern aus - ein Traum. Unsere 5-jährige Tochter hat sich auch besonders wohlgefühlt... In ihrem eigenen Kinderzimmer mit jeder Menge Spielzeug. Wir haben die Zeit so genossen und sind nicht das letzte Mal da gewesen. Absolute Weiterempfehlung, vielen Dank nochmal!!!!
