Spring 2023

We had a fabulous time at this property. Everything is very convenient for your stay. This includes restaurants, shopping, outdoor activities, pool, club house etc. The area is very quiet and perfect for a low key, relaxing vacation. The condo was well equipped with all that you could possibly need. My only suggestion would be to have a dust buster or something equivalent. We would definitely stay there again.

Cape Coral Condo

My husband & I just spent 3 winter months at this condo. The condo is beautifully decorated, has comfortable beds& furniture, high end towels & bedding, every utensil & device you could possibly need to cook & bake. The kitchen appliances are less than a year old & work well. The description & pictures are accurate. Sitting in the lanai, that overlooks a canal & into the mangrove forest was very relaxing & a favorite spot for our cat & dog to sun in the afternoon. The gated condo community is very safe, but also beautifully landscaped & maintained. The heated pool & hot tub were enjoyable to use & very close to the condo. The Thurmers were gracious & helpful hosts. It was delightful to meet them. Being able to bring our pets was very much appreciated. There is a paved walking path around the whole complex that is almost a mile. The path is used by dog walkers & others out getting some fresh air & exercise. We were very pleased with these accommodations & can highly recommend a stay here.

Island Cove

Staying at Island Cove was great. The people were so friendly and welcoming. The amenities were even better. We have never rented such a well furnished/stocked condo as the Thurmer’s Anchor Inn. Having rented other condos in the area, this was by far the best. Thank you, Dan and Mary Ann!

Another great month at a great place.

We enjoyed our February stay again this year. Everything from last years review still applies. It got even better as all of the seawalls have been repaired/replaced from the last hurricane and the walkway around the complex is in excellent shape.

Excellent Place, Excellent Location, and Excellent Owners

I would highly recommend this rental property to others. We will be staying here whenever we can on future visits to Cape Coral. Mary Ann and Dan are great people and were great to work with. The location is great also. The Island Cove grounds and common areas are very well maintained. We were within walking distance of shopping areas one way and the nature preserve the other way. Take your pick if you're into walking. If you'd rather relax, sitting in the lanai or outside along the canal facing the eco preserve is wonderful for sunrises, sunsets, or any other time. The fish sure like jumping out of the water a lot here. None of them jumped into the kayak though. The 2 person kayak that is available with the unit was great to have. Paddles are provided, I had my own life preserver. It is a very stable 'sit on' kayak. It takes about 1/2 hour of kayaking through the canals to get to the Caloosahatchi River and the entrance to the Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, a very nice place to paddle around amongst the mangroves. This community pool area is very nice. Our unit was the closest one to the pool so it's very convenient, but it's far enough away that you don't get any 'pool noise' at our unit. The pool is used a lot so you get to meet a lot of other people. There are always lounge chairs available, including enough in an area with shade if you prefer that. An occasional dolphin and manatee are also seen swimming by in the canal outside the pool. The grills for cooking are outside of the pool area in a well lit area convenient for cooking after dark if needed. They are very clean also. Everything we needed was in the condo for indoor or outdoor cooking. The inside of the condo was exceptional. Very clean, well decorated, and comfortable. Internet access was very good and I liked having the printer when needed for the 'work' that must still get done while on vacation. There are plenty of golf courses with 15 minutes. Lumpys, on Cleveland Ave, in Fort Myers has a great brochure listing all of the area golf courses. I'd recommend Magnolia Landing if you like a challenge on a very picturesque course. The other public courses in the area I always like getting to are Coral Oaks and Palmetto Pines.

Great Florida Vacation

We loved our stay at Coral Cove. The condo was warm and spacious and loved the view. The sidewalks around the canal were torn up for replacement after the hurricane so we weren't able to walk as much, but still were able to walk the dogs. Condo is quiet but close to shopping and restaurants.

We certainly enjoyed our stay at Island Cove Unit 1013. It was tastefully decorated, conveniently located and especially safe. Glad we found this condo but sad that it is already rented for next year.

An excellent vacation stay.

We wish to thank the Thurmer's for our relaxing month of December 2016. They were wonderful to help us with a fast response to our questions and the accommodations couldn't have been better. They thought of everything to make a stay as comfortable as our own home. The people we met while there, and the staff, were welcoming and friendly. We had a great time and highly recommend renting from them. Thank you again for sharing your condo with us.

Quiet elegant condo

Beautiful condo overlooking a nature preserve and in a gated community. It is convenient to stores and shopping. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything I needed to cook a meal. The pool was heaven during the hot days. The folks that own it are wonderful and great to work with. I highly recommend it for your stay in Cape Coral.

Lovely waterfront condo in Cape Coral!

The Anchor Inn is clean, updated and 'sea-side' themed~~just what you want when visiting Florida. It is near the pool and has a private and quiet view of the canal from the lanai. You won't be disappointed.

Dan and Mary Ann Thurmer live in the metro Milwaukee, WI area. Former homes in Minnesota and and Iowa including Minneapolis, Canby, and many years as students and residents in Decorah, IA, has enriched our lives with many friends. Decorah Iowa still remains a place called 'home' in our hearts where we attended Luther College and later, Luther Theological Seminary in St. Paul, MN.

Mary Ann, educated to be a teacher, and Dan a Pastor and Consultant has given them a variety of rich experiences grooming sensitivity to the needs and opportunities of others.

Rest, relaxation, renewal and time to refresh in a beautiful, comfortable location is valued as important to our growth, maturity and health.

We welcome you to such an environment called Anchor Inn. Throw your anchor, rest, be still, explore and make our place your home for days to enjoy and remember.

Why they chose this property

The 2 bedroom, two bath condo is just steps away from the spacious pool, hot-tub, tennis courts, grills, and the community center. While the condo is nicely secluded and surrounded by water and an eco preserve, you are just minutes away from shopping, beaches and restaurants. The canal has easy access to the Gulf yet you can relax on the lanai and view nature up close...birds, manatee, soaring eagles and fish waiting to be caught of the pier just in front of the lanai!

This attractive, gated Florida property is new to us. There are no reviews of renters as we post this for the first time. Be one of the first time users at a great price and post a review. Feedback is welcomed to affirm your experience or help us discover add-on value to make our guests perfectly satisfied.

If you come by air travel, Southwest Florida Regional airport (RSW) is 30 minutes away or 2 hours to Tampa. Naples, Sanibel and Captiva Islands, Longboat Keys, Sarasota, Fort Lauderdale, the Everglades and even Orlando are in easy driving distance to fill up daily adventures.

What makes this property unique

We call it Anchor Inn because it is a place to throw your anchor and discover peace, sunshine, new friends, beaches, relaxation, soaring clouds, Eagles soaring, the sky meeting water, walking trails, kayaking the canals, the aroma of coffee brewing, peaceful colors and rest from stress. It's a place to enjoy the warmth of the sun and the rest you deserve. Action is a daily option for shopping, fishing, swimming, tennis, miles of beaches and area sites and cities to explore.

Bring your laptop and 'stay connected'. Relax, yet have the world at your fingertips through Internet service to serve you.

While the sun, local and water attractions can fill your time and take up fun energy, coming back to this luxury condo invites rest, relaxation an more. Perfect for family an guest to be entertained.

The kitchen lends itself to format cooking with ample room to gather in the kitchen nook, the kitchen counter stools and at the living room coffee table with another 4 stools kids especially love.

Eating on the lanai is always an option, but no matter what takes you to the lanai, the water canal, boats, kayaks and eco park directly in front of you compels your attention watching for wildlife in their natural habitat.

Vigorous or casual exercise is a short walking distance from our unit / building closest to the community building, pool and tennis courts.

Does it get any better? You decide.
