"This was definitely a 5 Star Vacation Home. The home is very clean with everything you need to make you feel at home. The Home and area are very beautiful and quiet. The perfect place to relax after a day at a Beach. A short travel to Sanibel Beach and Fort Myers Beach gave us the ability to visit both beaches during our stay. For the Hospitality from Richard and Jane is also a 5 star. I Highly recommend this home and will definitely book again in the future.

Thank you

Lillian and Kenny"

Excellent Escape from Winter

Everything was very positive, as expected. This was a return stay at this property and we have already reserved it for next year. Location, cleanliness, condition, and comfort were all excellent. Well equipped. Pool experience was excellent. Communication with hosts/owners was excellent. They were genuinely interested in ensuring our stay was a positive experience. We use VRBO all the time for travels. Highly recommend this property.

This was our second stay at Jane and Rich’s Cape Coral vacation rental. Everything was fantastic and Rich handled a couple of small matters very quickly and well. We really like the location of this house and the quietness of the neighborhood and canal.

5/5 Perfect Location!

My husband and I traveled over the holidays to find nicer weather. This property was perfect and just what we were looking for! It was great to utilize the outside spaces and enjoy the heated pool! The location is close to anything you could need, but also pretty private, you can forget how centrally located you are. Rich and Jane were friendly and very helpful. We will be back!

Great Stay for RHWS Baseball Tournament

We stayed for two weeks and the Boat House in Cape Coral was great for us - good restaurants nearby for dinners, easy drives over to Fort Myers for the baseball games. Rich does a great job communicating with us as needed, but everything was fine with the property - especially the heated pool. Was great to be back for the Roy Hobbs tournament & look forward to returning next year and finding more Cape Coral spots to hit.

Summer Vacation 2023

We were displaced from Captiva due to hurricane Ian. We found this wonderful property. Our stay was perfect. We brought our boat and having the canal out back was extremely convenient. We had some friends visit during our stay and it very comfortable. The house was spacious with all the comforts of home. The updated bathrooms were very nice. The pool was just right after a long hot day on the water or even for a chill day staying home. Being on the end of the canal gave us a sense of privacy. Rich and Jane were gracious hosts and communicated quickly to anything we needed. We definitely will visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Rich Kroeze

Rich and Jane Kroeze (Dick and Jane) arrived in Florida to "The Boat House" in the fall of 2017. Avid boating enthusiasts, they boated from Dubuque Iowa all the way down the inland river system to the Gulf of Mexico... ultimately arriving in Cape Coral where they now still reside. Rich is a 200 Ton Master Captain and as such, provides Captain services for all types of boats from 100' yachts to fishing vessels of all sizes and varieties. Jane manages a local downtown Fort Myers Retail shopping emporium called "The Franklin Shops" - 80 shops under one roof where you can find unique clothing, home décor, art , and jewelry. Rich and Jane are available for any and all questions pertaining to The Boat House and the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area.

Why they chose this property

The Boat House has wonderful amenities which is self evident, but also has a great location close to excellent restaurants, beaches, grocery shopping, waterfront dining, miniature golf, bowling, waterpark, and fun bars. The neighborhood is very quiet, safe and friendly. There are two airports nearby to get you in and out quickly: Fort Myers International Airport (RSW) and Punta Gorda Airport (PGD). Looking for a quick and economical flight? We recommend the Punta Gorda Airport - Allegiant Air.

What makes this property unique

We have a beautiful dock on a direct gulf access canal. You can sun on the dock and fish from the dock. If you wish to rent or bring your boat, we have a boat lift available. Please check with the Rich for further information.
