Capeside Retreat - Modern, Waterfront Home | Private Pool | Snowbird-Friendly

Summary:
Enjoy all-day sunshine with Capeside Retreat’s coveted southern exposure, keeping the screened pool and lanai bright and inviting throughout the day. Swim, lounge poolside, or dine outdoors after firing up the gas grill. Peaceful canal views and a private dock add to the waterfront appeal, while the modern open layout, spacious kitchen with island seating, and cozy electric fireplace make relaxing indoors just as enjoyable.

The Space:
Soak up the sunshine in the screened lanai, where the private pool and furnished patio invite you to spend your days swimming, lounging, and enjoying meals outdoors. Southern exposure brings plenty of natural light throughout the day, while the gas grill makes casual cookouts easy. For a quieter moment, head to the dock and enjoy the canal views. Guests may sit or stand on the dock, but the boat lift is not available for guest use. Safe docking of watercraft cannot be guaranteed due to factors outside our control.

Inside, this modern, single-level home features a bright, open layout designed for easy relaxation. The spacious kitchen offers full-size appliances, generous prep space, and an island with seating for four. The comfortable living area is ideal for unwinding after a day in the Florida sunshine, with an electric fireplace for cozy evenings and Netflix and HBO for movie nights. Room-darkening drapes let you adjust the light and create a restful atmosphere.

Two beach chairs are provided for coastal outings, and age-appropriate games offer extra entertainment for younger guests. With a flat path to the front door and no interior stairs, the single-level layout makes moving throughout the home convenient. Please note that the garage is not available for guest use. Snowbird-friendly accommodations also make this a welcoming option for longer stays.

Other Things to Note:
The property has two exterior security cameras: one Ring doorbell camera facing the front door and one camera monitoring the driveway.

Pool Heating Terms & Conditions

Pool heating is available for an additional fee of $32 per day, plus tax. Guests must contact VueStay at least 72 hours before arrival to request pool heat.

The pool uses an electric heater that relies on outdoor air temperatures. Under favorable conditions, the heater can generally warm the pool to approximately 20°F above the outside air temperature. Pool heating is weather-dependent, and a specific pool temperature, including 85°F, is not guaranteed.

When outdoor temperatures drop to approximately 55°F or below, the heater may not operate. During cold fronts and cooler periods, particularly from December through February, the pool may take longer to warm or may not reach or maintain a comfortable swimming temperature.

Outdoor temperatures, overnight lows, wind, rain, and other weather conditions can affect heating performance. Pool heating fees apply once the service is requested, regardless of weather conditions or the temperature the pool ultimately reaches.

Before Adding Pool Heat

We strongly recommend checking the Cape Coral weather forecast shortly before your stay before deciding whether to purchase pool heat. Although Southwest Florida is generally warm, cold fronts can bring significantly lower temperatures, especially from December through February, reducing the heater's effectiveness.

Please understand that adding pool heat does not guarantee a particular water temperature. By requesting this service, guests acknowledge that pool heating performance depends on weather conditions and that the pool may not reach or maintain the desired temperature during cooler periods.
