Vacation rentals in Cape Coral

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.

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 an art lover, the Naples Museum of Art will exceed your expectations. Make sure you don't miss the Dale Chihuly glasswork. You will be awed by his blown glass sculptures and functional glass pieces.

Cape Coral’s Cultural Park Theater has the honor of being the longest-running community theater in the entire of Southwest Florida. The theater offers musicals, plays, acting classes and even an art gallery.

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.

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. A vacation home in Cape Coral usually also has a parking lot where you can park the vehicle without worrying.

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.
