Yes, we are Open! Cape Coral restart after Hurricane IAN

Dear Guests,
the repair works in Cape Coral after hurricane Ian are in full swing and luckily proceeding much faster than originally thought. Electricity, water, internet, and streaming are restored SW Floridian’s are hard at work to bring back our Paradise. Most shops and restaurants have also re-opened, some however with slightly adjusted services. Most villas in our portfolio have suffered cosmetic to very minimal damage. Therefore, these houses are already available again. Unfortunately many cages/screens were affected by the high winds. They will be repaired or replaced as soon as possible. We will keep you informed and thank you for your trust! Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.

Government Hurricane Ian Recovery


We’re hurting with you, Cape Coral

Hurricane Ian hit us hard here in Cape Coral and caused a lot of damage.
Clearing the city’s streets in the wake of Hurricane Ian is a top priority and work has already begun.
We currently have no electricity and limited telecommunications.
We are grateful for your prayers, assistance, and thoughts.
We will rebuild and we will be back.
Many of our homes have survived with minimal damage and we are open.
All of your support for this area is greatly appreciated.
We will keep you posted and updated on the progress.
