Owner

English
Hi! My name is Kristina and my husband is Jeff. We live in MA with our 2 beautiful children and 2 dogs. Both of our families fell in love with Cape Coral and decided to make it home. After visiting, we loved the area so much that we also decided to purchase a slice of paradise! We became hosts because until we are ready to live in Cape Coral full time, we wanted to open up our quiet oasis to you and your family/friends and let you fall in love as well!

Getting around

Renting a car is your best bet but do be mindful of the tolls, particularly getting on to Cape Coral from Ft. Myers. They can be avoided for a longer commute of about 10 minutes depending on traffic. Double check with your rental car company on how they handle the tolls (Sunpass). There aren't any tolls going to Ft. Myers from Cape Coral. UBER and LYFT serve the area if you don't want to drive.
