Escape to Retreat Gulfside, a waterfront hideaway in Cape Coral built for easy, spacious living. Enjoy a heated saltwater pool and spa, a serene screened lanai, and canal-side calm, along with spacious rooms, modern amenities, and a gourmet kitchen built for the way you actually cook and gather. You're close to beautiful beaches, dining, and attractions, with stunning sunsets over the water. Unwind, make some memories, and settle into your ideal retreat.

This new-build 4-bedroom, 3-bath home blends modern style with easy comfort and sleeps up to 9. The open-concept layout centers on a gourmet kitchen with granite counters, stainless appliances, and wide sliders that open to an expansive screened lanai.

Outdoors, enjoy a heated saltwater pool and spa overlooking a quiet freshwater canal. Heating is included during peak season, December through March, and optional at $49 per night the rest of the year, running daily from 7 AM to 10 PM. The spa shares the pool's heating system, so heat must be on to warm it; in peak season it's already on. The outdoor kitchen with grill and seating makes al fresco dining easy.

A private en-suite fourth bedroom opens from the covered lanai rather than the main hallway, offering extra privacy for older guests (note: it is not internally connected to the main house).

Every bedroom has a Roku smart TV, with additional Roku TVs in the great room and outdoor kitchen. The fourth bedroom includes a dedicated workspace for remote work. Single-level living, keyless entry, fast Wi-Fi, and a 3-car garage round it out. Parking fits several cars in the circular driveway (no trailers or oversized vehicles, please).

A calm, comfortable base for your Cape Coral stay.
