The Boat House — Where Families Come Back to Each Other
Some homes are just a place to sleep. The Boat House is the place your family will talk about for years.

Set directly on the river in Cape Coral's Cornwallis community, this custom 4-bedroom coastal home was designed for exactly the kind of stay VRBO travelers come here for — enough space for everyone, enough privacy for no one to feel crowded, and an outdoor setting that makes it nearly impossible to look at a screen.

The outdoor experience is the centerpiece. The heated saltwater pool and spa anchor a resort-style lanai complete with a large Tiki Bar and fully equipped outdoor kitchen. The river stretches out beyond, and if you time it right, you'll watch dolphins and manatees pass by from the dock while your morning coffee gets cold. The moonrise over the water is something guests mention in almost every review — plan to be on the dock for it.

The layout was built for groups. Four bedrooms. Four bathrooms. Three separate living areas. A bedroom suite with bunks and an ensuite bathroom perfect for kids. A king primary suite for the grandparents or couple who earned the upgrade. Two queen rooms for everyone in between. The open layout makes it easy to be together — the multiple living spaces make it easy to have a quiet moment when you need one.

The kitchen is ready for real cooking. Fully equipped for larger groups, with indoor dining and the outdoor kitchen and Tiki Bar for the nights you don't want to go inside at all.

The neighborhood is easy. Cornwallis is a waterfront community close to Cape Coral's restaurants, shopping, and boat launches. Your pre-arrival welcome guide includes local favorites curated by Michelle and updated by past guests.

A few things to know before you book:
The dock is available for river viewing — boat docking is not permitted
Heated pool available for $15/day (energy cost-based)
Pets welcome: up to two dogs, $150/stay, with advance agreement (vaccines and flea/tick treatment required)
Quiet hours after 10pm / before 8am — this is a residential community and the neighbors are wonderful
Parking: driveway fits 3 cars and garage fits one car; street parking overnight not permitted
No events or parties beyond the guest count

Michelle and Jeffrey respond within the hour, every time. Eight years of Superhost-level hosting a 10/10 rating here tells you what to expect.

    The Boathouse is the perfect vacation home to enjoy sun, fun and relaxation in beautiful sw Florida. The house has everything you could possibly need for a family vacation. Kitchen is fully stocked with with everything you need and the outdoor tiki kitchen area is amazing! Cooking breakfast outside on the flat grill is a must. We saw dolphins at the dock and caught a lot of fish right off the dock. Wonderful sunrise every morning, makes you never want to leave. The bedroom accommodations were perfect as well. Very comfortable beds in all rooms. The upstairs space was perfect for as well. Loved all the decor and attention to detail of the home. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend the Boathouse to anyone traveling to Cape Coral area.

    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful rental house! The home was not only stylish and clean, but also well-equipped with everything we needed—from kitchen and bathroom essentials to cozy linens. The outdoor space was absolutely stunning and perfect for relaxing, fishing or enjoying a meal. Overall, we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful getaway.

    Wonderful stay — even better than the photos!Michelle was a fantastic host — attentive, responsive, and full of great recommendations for local attractions. The home itself exceeded our expectations; the photos truly don’t do it justice. It was beautifully kept, well-stocked, spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the stunning sunrise views and how close the property was to everything. Highly recommend to anyone considering a stay in the area!

    We had a fabulous winter escape and spring break vacation at the Caloosahatchee. The home is beautiful, with everything you could possibly need for a weeks stay. The beds were really comfortable including two tempurpedic adjustable beds; a bonus for the travelers with sore backs! The kitchen has everything you could possible need, including spices, for your group's appointed chef's. The pool, hot tub, and tiki hut made for really fun swimming, games, and happy hour. Michelle responded immediately and resolved any hiccups we had. Our vacation was geared toward Spring Training which sadly didn't happen during our week due to the lock-out. Michelle offered a few family fun suggestions of things in the area to check out. We had a great week of sunshine, rest and relaxation, and family time. Don't hesitate to spend your family vacation at the Caloosahatchee. Thank you Michelle.

    First and foremost being away from home for a month in a new place can be a little stressful as you learn the nuances of your new home. But Michelle and Jeff were always available quickly to help with any questions. Then there is the house. Wonderful pool and hot tub. Spacious accommodations. Immaculate. Beautiful views. Comfortable beds. We highly recommend the Boat House.

    We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this is by far the best on all accounts. We truly look forward to renting this place again from the comfort of the beds, linens, and towels to the beauty of the view our family had the best time! Michelle was simply the best to help us get settled and responded to any questions quickly. We recommend it highly!

    This home is absolutely beautiful and perfect. The owners were so helpful, understanding, and willing to help in anyway they could. We have rented on Vrbo prior and places say they are fully stock but this place is fully stocked. They have everything you possibly need. I would 100% recommend this place and would return. It was everything we needed. Outside and inside were perfect and beautiful!

    The Boat House is one of my favorite VRBO rentals. We celebrated my son's 11th birthday at the home. The home is beautifully decorated. Every little detail was well thought out. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the essentials and then some. The beds and linens are so comfortable. The outdoor space was just as amazing as it was on the inside. Michelle was amazing and so helpful throughout our stay. I honestly loved this house and would recommend it to anyone.

    Our group thoroughly enjoyed the Boathouse rental. There was plenty of space for us to hang out during the week. The kitchen was well stocked with amenities to cook meals including spices, oil, pots, pans and platters. The homeowner was extremely responsive in answering questions. Everything was as described.

    This was a beautiful house. We loved staying for the week. The Smarts supply so much to make your stay much more comfortable. Even though we stayed around the house for the most part, there are beaches nearby. We did go to Sanabel Beach one day.The heated pool and hot tub was a bonus. We couldn't have asked for a better house for the week.
