Gulf Canal-Boat, Heated Pool, Hot tub, Bikes & 2 Miles to Beach, Dog Friendly

Serenity Garden is a newly renovated waterfront home surrounded by lush gardens that feels like your own tropical paradise. It is convenient to all the local attractions, yet is situated in a quiet secure neighborhood in South East Cape Coral on a cul-de-sac. It is in the coveted Yacht Club neighborhood, located South of Cape Coral Parkway (LESS THAN 2 MILES TO CAPE CORAL BEACH) with a TRITOON BOAT available for rent. You can't get a better location!! Walk or ride the bikes to The Tiki at Dolphin Key (World's largest tiki hut), Jungle Bird Tiki and The Monkey Bar. It is on a wide canal, just minutes from the Caloosahatchee River, then direct to the Gulf of Mexico. Swim in your private heated pool or go boating/fishing. Southeast Cape Coral is full of unique dining, shopping, & ecotourism/parks.

Walk in and you will see the unmatched view and indoor/outdoor living. The three bedrooms have been custom outfitted in beach themed furniture and décor. Two baths will be stocked for your convenience. New couches and 55 inch flat screen complete the living room. Dine inside at our 6 man wine themed dining area, or take in the view and dine on the lanai at our 6 man poolside table. The pool is heated to 80 degrees free of charge and ready for you to enjoy. Take a dip in the hot tub or fish off of our dock. At sunset, we have spent many evening watching the dolphins play at the base of the canal. After a day at the beach, relax in the new hot tub on the lanai. We have a Tommy Bahama bike for the guys and girls cruiser for the ladies. Ride our bikes to the beaches, restaurants, and Publix grocery store. Not included in most rentals but included in ours are custom hotel robes, bikes, & hot tub.

Cape Coral Thanksgiving Vacation
Overall very nice. Some minor issues but nothing that hurt the trip. Boat was a great add on. Pool was nice, a little cool. Hot tub was great to have, kitchen, bedrooms, living were all as expected. Area was great, very near a lot of restaurants. Overall would recommend staying at Serenity Garden!

Another perfect vacation
This is our third time staying at one of Maggie's houses. Peace of mind knowing we will never have any issues with our VRBO. The house was immaculate, stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent, garbage bags, utensils, aluminum foil, etc., etc...she even had batteries in the drawer. The pool was refreshing with lots of pool toys. My eight-year-old daughter had an excellent time in the pool. It was nice sitting by the pool, grilling The screen didn't have any rips; no bugs in the lanai. The dock was nice to watch the sunrises/sunsets from. There is a boat lift, although we didn't rent a boat on this visit. The neighborhood was quiet. I'm handicapped and I asked Maggie for a hand held shower handle to make it easier to bathe my daughter. Within hours, the plumber was at the house installing the shower handle for me. We will be back in the spring...thank You!

Wonderful Vacation Home
We truly enjoyed our stay at Serenity Garden! Communication was quick and easy, and the home was exactly what we were hoping it would be. We rented their boat, and Captain Bob was very helpful and made our experience better than expected. Nicole, the guest experience manager, was quick to respond and more than willing to offer assistance. Nick, the pool technician, was welcoming and answered our questions with ease. I would 100% recommend staying at any of Maggie Troup's properties, and I'm looking forward to our next stay!

We had a few issues, oven and dishwasher didn't work and grill heating not accurate. Pool dirty, she did send a pool person over but unable to clean until our day of check-out. Furniture on patio was hard plastic and uncomfortable, over all outside area was not quality. The inside was furnished nice and comfortable. I would not stay there again, we would of preferred a beautiful outside sitting, with clean pool. We never entered the pool or hit tub very outdated.

Needs some maintenance and cleaning crew
Check in and prompt request for service. The management was very friendly attentive to our issues. The big issue was the poor quality of the bedding. The rest of the issues were related to upkeep. They need to get a better cleaning crew to more than swifter the floors. Perhaps they should look up at the lights and knock down the cob webs. Patio door was so hard to open we built biceps by the end of the week.

Definitely recommend, will rebook
My Mom and I just had a wonderful stay. The house was easy to find and very clean. The kitchen is STOCKED. We wanted a quiet place to relax and we got it. The landscaping is beautiful and provided a ton of privacy. Furnishings were comfortable, TVs easy to use, tons of clean towels, washer/dryer that I wasn't scared to use. Also, there are fans everywhere. Ceiling and ones that plug in. The pool is south facing so you get to enjoy the sun as long as it is in the sky. I really appreciated the arrival message we received so we had their number if we needed anyone. We didn't 😁

Nice stay
We enjoyed our stay, it turned out to be a cooler week than we are use to so we took advantage of the hot tub. The pool was nice but it just didn't warm up enough to swim much. The evening temps were in the 50s so I don't think the pool could handle the temperature drop. The home was very clean, uncluttered and had all the necessities needed. The management team replied to texts right away. Would book with this company again in the future.
