Vacation Rentals in Cape Coral

Cape Coral boasts an appealing climate all year round. The daytime high in January is about 75°F, while in August it is slightly higher at around 95°F. Summers can be hot and humid, so plan your vacation during early summer, winter or spring. In fact, winters are perfect for booking a Cape Coral vacation rental. There is hardly any rain and the sun will be shining throughout your stay.

The Cape has river beaches. The waters of the Matlacha Pass and Caloosahatchee River form estuaries, where mangrove forests teem with marine life. This makes Cape Coral a favorite destination for hobby fishermen.

The lakes and canals are filled with freshwater fish, such as bass and panfish. In Caloosahatchee River, you will be able to bait bream, black crappie, largemouth bass, and bluegill. If you prefer saltwater fishing, head nine miles inshore to the tidal creeks, estuaries, and bays where you can catch snappers, trout, groupers, bass, tarpons, redfish and more.

Beach lovers will not be disappointed with the Yacht Club Beach on the Caloosahatchee River. This family-friendly beach comes with playground, shelters for family picnics and a fishing pier for angling. Every month, the beach clubhouse hosts a craft show called the Sunset Celebration. Visitors can even access the swimming pool, tennis courts, and marina in the clubhouse complex if their Cape Coral vacation rental is located in the vicinity.

Golfing is a passion in Cape Coral, and that is why the city has four public and semi-private golf courses. Royal Tee, a semi-private golf course, is located in the Cape Royal golf community. It is one of the best golf courses in the area, with 27 championship holes. The undulating greens, glimmering lakes and shimmering sand make a picture-perfect sight. The course also has a driving range, pro shop, and practice greens to hone your golfing skills.

Cape Coral has a rich and vibrant cultural scene. The Cape Coral Historical Museum houses relics, replicas, shells, antiques, and fossils. You will love the replicas of a Florida Cracker House and the world-famous Rose Gardens.

If you are on vacation with the family in a vacation rental in Cape Coral, a trip to the Sun Splash Family Waterpark is a wonderful experience that offers fun for young and old on hot days. Numerous water slides with different degrees of difficulty and swimming pools offer refreshment in the cool water and for relaxation you can float in the so-called Main Stream River in an inflatable tire through the park.

It is worthwhile to rent a car for your vacation in Cape Coral. The public transport network is not very developed in South Florida and with your own vehicle you visit many attractive destinations flexibly.

An interesting excursion takes you to Pine Island. The offshore island is covered with citrus plantations and palm groves and in the small town of St. James City you can take a break in one of the excellent restaurants. You can reach the island via Pine Island Road in about half an hour.

Sanibel Island and Captiva Island with some of the best swimming beaches in the region can also be reached within a short drive from your vacation rental in Cape Coral. Admire fascinating sunsets on these tropical islands and hike through untouched nature.

On another day, you can also cross the Caloosahatchee River and visit the big city of Fort Myers, about 9 miles away. Numerous parks, museums and shopping centers make for a varied stay. The beach of Fort Myers is known for its fine white sand and on the pier you walk far out over the water. When parking in Fort Myers, you should prefer metered parking, as unauthorized parking is quickly towed away.

A majority of Cape Coral vacation rentals have self-catering facilities. The Cape Coral Farmers Market, held every Saturday morning, is perfect for fresh and organic local produce. It is renowned for its affordable and quality groceries. The market has a lot more in store for a discerning visitor, including antiques, jewelry, jellies, clothes and even dog treats!
