Beachfront holiday rentals in Cape Coral

We had the most relaxing stay at Emily and Bo’s home. The pictures and description are totally accurate. The house was fantastic, nicely appointed, spotlessly clean, and in a peaceful neighborhood. We really enjoyed the lanai area, pool and spa, and being right on the canal was the best! Manatees swimming by, kayaking out to the mangroves with the bay so close was amazing. So many different bird species captured on my Merlin app too. The house has everything you need for a perfect stay. It’s important to note how comfy the bed was as well with soft linens. We definitely plan to book again and can’t wait to come back. Emily is a terrific host!

This is such a great, peaceful place to stay on Estero island! Valerie Jean’s spot was immaculately clean, easy to find, and had so much to offer. Definitely recommend for singles or couples looking for extensive pool time. The beach across the street was calm and had lots of great shells as well! While bars and restaurants are limited in the area right now, there were still some local gems worth checking out, as well as a good number of places delivering. Definitely appreciated having a Publix close by and a great kitchen in the apartment! Would absolutely return for another peaceful stay and the awesome pool area!!

We loved our stay. The location is great. Close enough if you want to get to the bustle of the main”beach” area but further south if you want to easily walk to a quiet gorgeous beach. The beach is walkable. .4 miles as listed. There is a beautiful lagoon behind with many dolphins playing in it during our stay. We also took out kayaks and they swam right by our boat! Publix is 1.2 miles away so very convenient. A few good restaurants very close by. Comfortable beds. Kitchen could be a bit more stocked. Overall excellent stay.

We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. Loved the updated furniture, kitchen and spacious layout. Our grandkids visited and had so much fun in the pool and visiting nearby attractions. The location was perfect for our family providing both peace and convenience. Also loved seeing dolphins in the canal and the burrowing owls of course!

This was home away from home, anything u need to cook is in the kitchen, very well stocked with any dish or utensil u may need! The water with a little beach area is within walking distance a couple streets over. Mark was very attentive when I asked to extend last minute. We had zero complaints.

If I could give more than five stars, I would. This stay was short but truly unforgettable, and that’s entirely thanks to the most exceptional hostess I’ve ever encountered. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, comfortable, and cared for. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail were next-level—genuine hospitality that can’t be taught. The property itself is sweet, simple, and elegantly appointed with everything we needed for a peaceful night. The backyard was a slice of paradise, and the water access added such a serene, magical touch to the environment. The neighborhood was quiet and chill, and the whole island had this calming energy—as if time had slowed down for us to take it all in. But again, the true standout here is the hostess. Her warmth and care transformed this stay into something truly special. I’ve stayed at many Airbnbs, but none have left an impression like this one. A rare gem of a human and a beautiful place to stay—don’t

We loved this place! The house, location, pool, boatlift, driveway, ease of getting to inshore fishing, and so much more! Kelly is amazing and probably the most responsive host we’ve worked with. This place was perfect for us and we have already booked again!

The location was absolutely perfect- super easy walk into town to grab lunch and dinner, and super easy walk to beach- and the cute little beach bars with music. The back patio was right on the canal and perfect to have a cup of coffee in the morning and a cocktail in the afternoon. Would highly recommend this place if coming to FMB.

It's a nice, new, house. Location is great. About a mile south of the busy area on Ft. Myers Beach. About a block to the beach. The pics show the beach entrance under a condo, but the condo has a ton of signs prohibiting beach access. We used it without a problem and there is public beach access 1/2 block south. The island is still recovering from IAN, be prepared for some construction noise.

We were so happy when we opened the door and seen a beautiful place, clean new and up to date on everything, the location is ideal for everything the area has to offer. Fort Myers Beach is making a huge comeback! Plenty to do! The owners are very responsive.Will be back!

Jonathan is probably the best host I've ever experienced. Fast and clear communication and very friendly. This property had more amenities than I've ever seen, literally everything you could want for a day at the beach or the pool. Kids had a blast with the pool table and games in the lower level when they needed a break from the sun. Everything about this place is 10/10!

Very Beautiful stay and felt like home!

We couldn’t be more pleased with this property for our family vacation. The pictures included in the listing don’t do this place justice. Nestled in a neighborhood just across from the beach, it was the perfect location for a day ocean side or relaxing in the comfort of a private pool in the backyard. A fully equipped kitchen, extremely comfortable bedding, and peaceful enclosed porch makes this place a 10/10 for your FMB getaway.

We have stayed at many rentals all over, and Cape Coral a handful of times. Diane’s place is absolutely one of the best !Everything was perfect , bed , pool, decor, appointments, et all. Diane was a great host, accessible, helpful , when she says she wants your stay to be perfect she means it. Book this beautiful vacation house you will not be disappointed!!

We had an enjoyable stay at your "poolside paradise". The home was more than comfortable, spacious and clean, with all the basic amenities you need. The home is in close proximity to many dining options and activities. Would highly recommend to a family looking to relax and enjoy some peace & quiet. * One thing I must add the 1st picture of the canal view is no longer accurate, unfortunately the surrounding neighbors have put up hedges which are becoming overgrown and obstructing the view

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was exactly what we were looking for as we had our own pool and I’d say a 3 minute walk to the beach. The house was extremely clean which made us a bit nervous with 5 kids under the age of 5. Paul and Alicia provided all the beach necessities and even picked up toys for our kids! They are amazing at responding. The elevator was a massive help unloading and loading luggage. The grocery store is a mile away and very easy to get to. We also used Instacart a handful of times which was really convenient. We were looking for a spot that we didn’t have to leave if we didn’t want to and that’s exactly what this is. It has everything you need to stay put, and the beach is across the street. I highly recommend this property and we look forward to renting it again next year!

Lori is a fantastic host! If you are a boater or fisherman then Saint James City is the perfect spot. Easy runs to Matlacha, Sanibel, Captiva, Cayo, Boca Grande, etc. Pine Island Sound is a world-class fishery and Lori's "Treasure Trove" is right in the heart of it👍👍

Great stay !!! Very beautiful house!

We had a wonderful time! The house was perfect. Enjoyed the hot tub and pool. Had wine sitting on the dock. Bikes were perfect- although was so busy hiking and kayaking that we didn’t have time to use them. The local beach is only less than 2 miles away- walked there most mornings. Air conditioning was perfect. The kitchen had everything you could want. All in all- a wonderful experience!

Our family enjoyed our stay immensely. The pool was wonderful. The hot tub, although a bit smaller than we had expected, warmed up quickly and provided a much used space for our little ones. It does fit about 3-4 adults, so definitely not too small. From bikes to water toys to ping pong and a pool table, there is definitely something for everyone. Let’s not forget the BOAT! This was such a wonderful addition. We were able to go from the pool to a boat ride and back to the pool with ease. Joe was very helpful with getting oriented to the boat and the boat map was easy to read. Very bike friendly area with well marked bike lanes. There is a public beach 10-15 minute bike ride again which was clean and well maintained. Great restaurants right down the road. You will need to bring toilet tissue, laundry detergent, and any refrigerator condiments as none of that is included. Not a deal breaker for us, but something that we weren’t aware before doing our grocery order. Five stars!

Wonderful stay - extremely well-stocked and super clean. Pool and hot tub were a major hit and the and kayaks were super fun!!

The house was exactly as represented and expected. very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed for our stay. The space worked perfectly for our party size (4 adults & 2 kids) and the pool was a great way to cool off. Justin was very responsive before and during our stay.

Great home with a very nice pool. Very nice and responsive host.

10/10 recommend Lauren’s Waterfront Bliss home! It was perfect for our last minute spring break trip with our two kiddos. The space was immaculate and matched the photos exactly! The pool was a bit deeper than we thought but there were plenty of toys and floatys that made it enjoyable. The beds were comfortable, ping pong table in the living room was a hit & we extra loved the remote controlled fans/lights in each room. Lauren was extremely responsive before & during our stay and we had no major hiccups. We would definitely stay here if we chose to stay in the Cape Coral area again!
