Hello! This website is all about visiting and living in Cape Coral, a terrific waterfront destination for those who like swimming, boating, fishing, golfing, and lots of sunshine.

Imagine yourself relaxing by the pool with a smoothie under bright and sunny skies.

Or maybe you are at the beach watching a beautiful sunset, or out on the golf course, feeling peaceful while palm trees sway in the breeze................in January?

Do you dream of vacationing at the beach looking for shells, and eating fresh seafood?

Is your idea of fun a picnic on a boat?

Or have you been wanting to make a permanent move so that you can enjoy the warm weather year-round?

We had all of those dreams and decided to take the plunge in 2006 by moving from Connecticut to Cape Coral, Florida.

We are so glad that we did because.......

We absolutely love it here!

Think of my website as your Cape Coral Information and Travel Guide.

My guide contains what we've learned and what you need to know about living and vacationing in our beautiful city.

With more canals than Venice, the largest burrowing owl population and a variety of wild life, great values in real estate, many recreational and nature parks, fun festivals, and a waterpark.....

........there is something here for everyone!

There is nothing like being able to eat dinner on the water, fish and boat from your back yard, watch beautiful sunsets at the beach, and go to the pool or golf course everyday.

We think it's pretty close to being in Paradise....

....And we want you to know all about our favorite things to do and see.
