Cape Coral / Fort Myer

Cape Coral is a paradise between Naples and Fort Myers on the southwest coast of Florida. Here you will find the Caloosahatchee River in the Gulf of Mexico. Cape Coral is known for its many canals (about 400 miles) as the Venice of America. Cape Coral has a low level of criminality. Since the beaches are very safe here (for example, Ft Myers Beach hardly has any current and has shallow water), Cape Coral is also the ideal place for holidays with the family. Cape Coral offers a lot of restaurants (American, French, Italian, German, Mexican). A German bakery, German butcher and cafes, supermarkets and a lot of retail shops are about a 7 minute drive from the house. Beautiful shopping centres are 5 to 15 minutes away. The modern airport at Ft. Myers is 20 minutes away by car. The driving time to the traditional destinations of Disney World, Epcot Center, MGM Studios, Universal Studios and Seaworld is about 3 hours.

Beaches / sport
Cape Coral Beach is about a 5 minute drive away. Larger dream beaches are at a 20 minute drive away on the dream island of Sanibel or Captiva. Here you can go on kilometre long (15 km) beach walks on the stunning natural beaches and collect clams. The largest part of the island is the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge and offers a lot of information about the local fauna and flora with guides through the untouched nature and bird breeding stations. For those who love beaches, Ft. Myers Beach (a 20 minute drive) is perfect. Here you will find music and a lot of action! Water skiing, surfing, sailing, jet skiing, tennis, parasailing - everything is possible. Those who want to enjoy this beach with tranquillity can go somewhere down the beach boulevard to the private houses and can look for a parking space with the help of the signs 'beach access with parking'.

Dog racing and motorboat
Dog racing is also a popular betting sport in Florida. You can rent motorboats from our house administration.

Motorboats

The current prices for the boat rentals from our management can be shared. The rental occurs directly through management. Otherwise, you can rent motorboats in a marina by Del Prado Blvd. in Cape Coral, in the Tarpon Point Marina in Cape Coral or in 2 marinas by Ft. Myers Beach. The fuel costs are about $ 2.80 per gallon - which means about € 0.60 per liter. A boat license is not required, but recommended. Please remember that Florida is the only place in the USA where there are wild manatees. They are strictly under natural protection and may not by injured by motorboats. That is why you should drive slowly (maximum of 6 km/h) when near the coast (300 m) or in the canals.It is an experience if you have the luck to see one or more of these rare animals in nature. We have often seen these animals in our canal behind the house and it is an experience every time.

Golf
The golf lovers will have over 130 golf courses available within a radius of 50 minutes. Directly in Cape Coral you will find multiple golf courses. The closest (Cape Coral Golf + Country Club) is a 5 minute drive from the house. Golf merchandise can be purchased here, but you must remember that customs will scrutinize new golf equipment.
