This was a Great house in a very convenient, yet quiet location. The house was spotless and check-in could not have been easier. We made an afternoon trip to Sanibel and Captiva, which was also beautiful! We would definitely stay there again!

Great place to stay in Cape Coral!

great shape. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you’d need to cook and grill. The grocery store is .5 miles from the house with lots of great restaurants nearby. We used the home as a great base for day trips and enjoyed the room to spread out and recover from the Florida heat. The swimming pool was a great bonus for lazy afternoons at home. We would love to visit again.

Wonderful Place for Warmth, Rest & Relaxation

Check in process was very smooth. Received the key code and everything went smoothly. The house was accurately depicted and described. The Internet speed was more than sufficient (we were working remotely). We highly recommend this to a small family or or 1-2 couples that are looking to escape to Sunny Cape Coral.

Paradise Awaits

Upon entering the Lazy Pelican you can feel the cleanliness of the home. The house and property were exactly as described. The pool was amazing, especially because you can swim with a view of the intersecting canals. We stayed for 5 days and we did NOT want to come back home. Relaxation, rest, and rejuvenation. Great location.
