We are human and accidents happen so make your trip worry free by adding the plan. We also take a separate security deposit no matter what, as the deposit covers items that are not covered by the damage plan like additional required cleaning upon departure, excessive electricity usage, or guest negligence of property rules, etc. If the extra damage protection is not added to the reservation, the guest agrees to pay for damages exceeding the deposit amount.
- TRAVEL INSURANCE - For your convenience, we offer Travel Insurance through Generali/CSA that covers cancellations due to emergency, inclement weather, delays, etc. We highly suggest safeguarding your trip with a travel insurance company even if it is not ours and especially during the hurricane season starting June 1st - November 30th.

Fantastic experience!
This was a lovely stay! My husband, toddler and I stayed here in March 2024 for five nights. Renee was so communicative and helpful -- she even provided a custom guidebook to the property and area! The house was clean, neat, and spacious. The decor was adorable -- my toddler wanted to grab everything, of course, but we were able to secure everything fragile and return it to its original home at the end of our stay. Thanks so much for a memorable yet organized and low-key vacation.

Best ever
I travel for work constantly and take my wife when I can. This was a real joy. It was more than we needed but well worth it. The A/C quit on the first evening, but the owners had it fixed the next day. The house had a new roof (likely from recent Hurricane Ian repairs) so the pool heater appeared to not have been reinstalled. But the pool was comfortable nonetheless. We would definitely stay here again.

House was plenty enough for two, but would be great with other friends or for a family. Nicely decorated. Kitchen stocked with all dishes, utensils etc. Pool was 100% privacy. Some bars and restaurants close enough to walk to. Quite neighborhood, but can hear road traffic. Didn't bother us though.

Very Nice Property- Close to Everything
A group of 6 of us stayed here. Plenty of room. The outdoor living area is fantastic. There is plenty to do at the house or walk to many of the fun bars and restaurants in the area. The washer and dryer were a huge help for us as we all packed light. There were many games of ping pong played and bikes if you want to tour the area w/out driving. I know the pool is heated; however if it could be a tad warmer that is my only suggestion as it can be cool in the afternoons when the sun is setting. If we are in the area again, we will definitely consider staying here again.

Relaxing getaway
The property was just as described on the web site. It was very clean and well maintained, and really had everything that you would need. The pool and lanai were great and very private. You do have to drive to the beaches, restaurants, and scenic areas. We had a minor blip with the TV upon arrival, but the property manager Renee, who was so gracious, took care of everything . We had beautiful weather and truly enjoyed Florida!

Not quite what we thought it would be.
House was very nice but we rented this for the pool. They said the pool was heated to 85 degrees. Couldn’t have been 70. Out of 5 days we used the pool once. Coming from NY this was very disappointing. The pool area needs a thorough pressure washing and the pool itself didn’t really look like the pool guy did much. Not much to do in the area either. Thank God we found the Monkey Bar!

We rented at the beginning of the COVID 19 crisis and fortunately the property was well equipped to manage a lot of home time! Super private with nice pool area, great kitchen, too. Our cable and WIFI quit working the last few days and Renee was responsive but unable to get us back up on TV. She did get WIFI working which allowed us to stream. There were many nice touches, great towels, beds, etc. Great for a group of four.

We found the Sandy Cabana just as described and pictured. The house is located only a couple blocks from downtown Cape Coral and within easy walking distance to local bars and restaurants. We especially liked the Redfish Point Garden Bar & Grill. The pool and lanai are great and the outside TV is a nice touch. Renee was awesome to work with and was always available if needed.

This is a great place to unwind and relax. The private fenced yard was great for our dogs. The pool area was wonderful to just sit and enjoy the sun. Although the house is older it is well furnished and is cozy with beautiful decor. The king master bed was a little too hard for us, but is any bed like your bed at home? This house is a great find and we enjoyed it very much.
