Playful Pelican. Ideally located 3 bedroom, 2 Bathroom pool house w. direct access canal in SW Cape Coral. Close to everything - fast river/gulf access, great parks and riding trails and near best dining in Cape Coral. Pool is without screen enclosure, so your view of the canal is unobstructed! We keep the pool at 85 degrees, but can heat it more if you help us with the electric bill. Bring your boat if you like - ample space to put (trailer parking is available).

The house has anopen floor plan, so there is a good amount of space in the living room that opens to the pool and canal. The master bedroom is on one side of the house and the guest bedrooms are on the other side.
Note: we have high speed internet, but no cable. Guests will need to use their own login to access Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and other streaming services. We do have an antenna for some local channels in the living room.

Guests can use the entire home, except the garage. We are using it as storage. We will keep it locked from the garage. It is unlikely that we will need to access the garage during your stay, but it is possible. If so, we will provide notice that we need to enter and will let you know when we are gone.

We love happy guests, so let us know if anything needs to be changed/updated/added. For non urgent requests/comments, email communication is preferred. We will provide our phone numbers in the guest packet for any urgent requests.
No glass in pool area
Garage is used as storage for owners - it is not available to guests

    House was lovely. Quite area. Pool was nice. We tried something new this time not staying on the beach and the canal was great! We even saw a dolphin!

    Very nice home! It was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Perfect accommodations for myself and husband, teenagers and in-laws. The boat dock made it easy to bring our boat and head out for a quick cruise any time of day. The pool was heated to a perfectly comfy temperature for a winter trip. The homeowner was very responsive and thoughtful in assuring we had a pleasant stay. I highly recommend the Playful Pelican.

    This home is beautiful, clean, and restful from the moment you step inside the door! There is a lot of natural light, and the view is beautiful over the canal and pool in the back yard. It is spacious, and the beds are comfortable. The owner is very quick to respond if there are any questions, and checkout procedure is very simple. We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay here again!

    The owner was very accommodating and let us check in earlier than the normal check-in time. The house is beautiful and very clean. It had a fully stocked kitchen and had extras like pool towels, beach towels, and pool noodles/floats and life jackets for the kids. The neighborhood is amazing and the neighbors were really friendly and even cheering on the kids for catching fish in the canal (in the backyard of the house). This house has something for everyone. The guys loved fishing out in the backyard and us ladies loved the in ground pool.

    The house itself was nice inside. Nothing above average. The house stays pretty cool. The pool isn't protected from sun or bugs so that was a big big disappointment. Owner also advertised as having boats and bikes available which were however at an extra cost that wasn't listed on the original ad. Had I not quickly picked last moment i definitely wouldve chosen something else but I guess it wasn't terrible.

    Playful Pelican is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to all the amenities SW Florida has to offer. We appreciated the simple traffic near us, the abundance of walking paths, the heated pool, and the restaurants nearby (not walking distance by close car rides). Corey responded within minutes to any texts we sent and was very accomodating with any requests. I would highly recommend Playful Pelican!

    We had a nice stay but I didn’t like the cameras by the pool and we got bit up real bad from the noseeums. We used spray and yard guard. Not sure what else we could have done to prevent it. Overall very nice house and very clean. Which i appreciate.

    We had a great time at the Playful Pelican. The kitchen is well-stocked and made cooking for Thanksgiving easy. There were a few blown lightbulbs that need to be replaced, and there didn’t seem to be a way to turn on the pool light. Other than this few inconveniences, our stay was fabulous.

    This property is more than it says. It’s beautiful, up to date, everything inside and out is perfect. The house was very clean, had everything we needed. The pool was perfect! We saw two dolphins swim by, and we were able to catch several fish. The teens were able to enjoy the kayaks which aren’t stated, nice surprise for us. We are considering this exact house yearly. It’s very peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. We can’t say enough good about the house.
