Photos and Description of the Cape Haze vacation condo rental
Condo, 3 Bedrooms + Den, 2.5+ Baths, (Sleeps 5-6)

If you are looking for a resort-like condo complex near beautiful pristine beaches with plenty of activities and local "mama-papa" restaurants, you have found the right place!

The Hammocks, a resort style coastal residential haven in the harbor and beach region of the Cape Haze Peninsula on Florida's West coast. The Hammocks is a private gated master-planned community of Old Florida-style villas and condominium residences built harmoniously within a nature preserve and estuary alongside the sparkling waters of Lemon Creek. This exclusive gated oasis has been built on the coral creek waterway with a nature preserve and estuary. Spectacular views and gracious living define these luxury units within Hammocks Cape Haze.

The Hammocks of Cape Haze offer abundant amenities. The center of community activity is the Ibis Club. Residents can relax in the expansive beautiful clubhouse where facilities include a dining area, kitchen, bar, lounge, game room and pool table.

This complex has very nice tropical landscaping with palm trees sway in the large lanai area near the pool where gas grills are available for your barbeque and scattered tables invite you to come and relax.

There is a large, well landscaped, zero entry pool that is perfect for the little ones as well as those who have a hard time climbing steps or ladders. Everyone can enjoy this facility. The workout facility has free weights and machines for all of your aerobic and strength training needs. The complex also includes a beautiful tennis club.

Situated within a nature preserve with old Florida architecture, this gated community offers resort-style living. Your home is across the street from two marinas that afford easy access to Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor, and the Gulf of Mexico, making you scant minutes from premiere fishing and boating. In addition, ferry rides offer opportunity to roam the unspoiled beaches of Don Pedro Island and Palm Island. The Hammocks is conveniently located near the beaches of Manasota Key and Boca Grande and across the street from Palm Island Marina.

To complete this perfect coastal retreat, championship golfing abounds in the area, kayaking is very popular, and bird watchers will revel in the avian varieties. Nature trail & sidewalks overlook lemon creek. This is a unique community, which offers a quality lifestyle. This is truly a Paradise!

The Hammocks is only a 10 minute drive to Boca Grande. Website, SmarterTravel, in an article titled, “Hidden Florida: The 10 Best-Kept Secrets,” dated February 6, 2010, described Boca Grande as one of the 10 Best Kept Secrets of Florida: “Relax, relax, relax—that's the vibe in Boca Grande, a sleepy historic town on Gasparilla Island, about an hour-and-a-half west of Ft. Myers. No spring training crowds or bustling atmosphere here; there's not a high rise or traffic light in sight. Instead you'll find seven miles of beaches, a state park, bicycle trail, and an area teeming with wildlife. Dolphins, manatees, osprey, pelicans, and more can be found at the beaches, as well as plenty of shelling and fishing spots. Nicknamed the "Tarpon Capital of the World," Boca Grande also lures tourists with fishing charters and sailing possibilities. There are also several restaurants and galleries for those willing to wander away from the sand and surf.”

This unit, built in 2007, never lived in before, just purchased by current owner, has all new furniture, is located on the 2nd floor above the parking garage, looks out over the lake and onto the facility's beautiful pool and clubhouse. A truly resort-like view. The unit is an “end unit” which means that it has windows on one entire side which is lacking in the middle units. This gives the unit much more sunlight and has an open, spacious feeling. Also, the end unit is over 1900 square feet compared to the 1600 square feet middle units. An elevator is available so that no steps ever need to be climbed.

Master suite features a king sized bed and large bathroom, 2 walk-in closets and access to the screened in lanai and an LCD TV.

The large family room has a comfortable sofa and love seat with a 55 inch LCD big-screen TV in the entertainment center.

The Kitchen area is beautifully appointed with granite counter tops and upgraded appliances. The dining area has a large dining table with chairs to accommodate 6 guests.

The unit is has 2 additional bedrooms. One with a Queen Bed, Armoire containing an LCD TV and private full bath. The third bedroom has a couch that converts to a twin bed.

There is an additional 1/2 bathroom for guests.

About The Owner

Stephen and Wendy Koldin. We are from Syracuse, New York, and purchased this unit for our future retirement home. We enjoy going to the beach, taking nice walks, boating, fishing and playing golf. We have 3 children who are still in school so we are going to rent this property for around 10 years and then mostly use it ourselves.

The Owner purchased this condo in 2010
Why The Owner chose Cape Haze

We wanted to live in an area that is near a beautiful beach, has great local restaurants, plenty of activities and is "off the beaten path" where there is not congested tourist traffic. We wanted our condo complex to have a resort-like atmosphere so that we could always feel like we are on a vacation. The Hammocks at Cape Haze, Englewood, Florida meets all of our desires for a vacation home.

What makes this condo unique

We enjoy having an end unit because it gives more light from the side windows. We also enjoy having the lanai overlook a stream and a center view of the pool/clubhouse. It gives the unit a resort-like feeling. We also love the zero-entry pool, clubhouse and tennis courts. Finally, the beaches are just a 10 minute drive and they are beautiful, uncrowded sand beaches where you can take nice long walks.

Escape from Winter

Cape Haze is Florida's best-kept secret. It is a welcome reprieve from the heavily trafficked and over-populated tourist areas of Florida, yet it has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Nearby are white sand beaches, a variety of beautifully manicured golf courses, great little restaurants, and good shopping. The Hammocks is a lovely community, with a beautiful clubhouse and exercise room near the resort-like pool area. The condo is very spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We especiallly enjoyed sitting on the lanai, overlooking the pool and a pond which attracts a variety of birds and an occasional alligator. This was a great winter getaway for us, and we are looking forward to returning.

March Vacation Getaway

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Hammocks. The condo was spacious and well furnished which also was appreciated by our visiting guests and children. We especially enjoyed the lanai which was used daily for meals and relaxing. We used the fitness centre often as well as the grill and pool areas. Nearby treats were Gasparilla Island (Boca Grande), Palm Island, Edison Ford Winter Home, and Gasparilla Preserve. Also many nearby golf courses. We would not hesitate to return to the Hammocks in the future.

We stayed at this condo during the month of Feb., 2012 and were very impressed with the furnishings and decor. The condo overlooks the community swimming pool and fitness center; we especially enjoyed sitting on the covered patio as the patio faces south and west so you could take in the sun sets. The condo was very well supplied and the beds were very comfortable. This is really an up scale property and the owner was very accomodating and pleasant to work with. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and the tennis courts were very nice. Also, the area is quite secure with a gated entrance. The swimming pool was great for the grandkids when they visited us as it has a shallow walk in area that is perfect for younger children. We hope to come back!

to the rest of Florida. Site seeing on the Cape is great and shopping is nearby. The owners seem to be very nice. We like to try new places and this is one of the best we have been at and could return sometime.
