Cape Coral holiday house

Sanibel : We are just 25 minutes from the island of Sanibel. When we vacation at our home we spend a lot of time out at the beaches and kayaking at Tarpon Bay. Of the 100 barrier islands that make up The Beaches of Fort Myers & Sanibel, Sanibel and its neighbor Captiva are best known. Connected to the mainland by a dazzling three-mile-long scenic drive across a causeway from the mainland, Sanibel has a worldwide reputation for it's shelling and the associated posture referred to as the 'Sanibel Stoop.' Shelling is a simply delightful excuse to enjoy hours of sun worshipping along some of the most beautiful shoreline in North America and to absorb the unspoiled island atmosphere the natives so effortlessly maintain.

Captiva: Captiva Island, Sanibel's northern neighbor, is one of the most beautifully preserved and well-known areas on the Gulf Coast. The nation's foremost authority on beaches, Dr. Stephen Leatherman (also known as Dr. Beach) has recognized Captiva's beaches as the country's most romantic for two years in a row, noting as its key features its abundance of shells and overall tranquility.

Pine Island: Pine Island is just 15 minutes from our home. There is great kayaking and fishing at Matlacha and some really fun restaurants both in Matlacha and at either end of Pine Island. Pine Island is one of the largest islands off the west coast of Florida and consists of Matlacha ( Mat-la-shay), Pine Island Center, Bokeelia (Bo-keel-ya), Pineland and St. James City. Each community treasures its own distinctive ambiance with authors, artists and musicians calling it home. Pine Island's remote and natural environment is home to many varieties of exotic and tropical wildlife, with more than 18 active American bald eagle nesting sites. Pine Island also has fantastic fishing and boating, with the sport of Tarpon Fishing originating in Pine Island Sound in the late 1880's.
