The Boat House — Where Families Come Back to Each Other
Some homes are just a place to sleep. The Boat House is the place your family will talk about for years.

Set directly on the river in Cape Coral's Cornwallis community, this custom 4-bedroom coastal home was designed for exactly the kind of stay VRBO travelers come here for — enough space for everyone, enough privacy for no one to feel crowded, and an outdoor setting that makes it nearly impossible to look at a screen.

The outdoor experience is the centerpiece. The heated saltwater pool and spa anchor a resort-style lanai complete with a large Tiki Bar and fully equipped outdoor kitchen. The river stretches out beyond, and if you time it right, you'll watch dolphins and manatees pass by from the dock while your morning coffee gets cold. The moonrise over the water is something guests mention in almost every review — plan to be on the dock for it.

The layout was built for groups. Four bedrooms. Four bathrooms. Three separate living areas. A bedroom suite with bunks and an ensuite bathroom perfect for kids. A king primary suite for the grandparents or couple who earned the upgrade. Two queen rooms for everyone in between. The open layout makes it easy to be together — the multiple living spaces make it easy to have a quiet moment when you need one.

The kitchen is ready for real cooking. Fully equipped for larger groups, with indoor dining and the outdoor kitchen and Tiki Bar for the nights you don't want to go inside at all.

The neighborhood is easy. Cornwallis is a waterfront community close to Cape Coral's restaurants, shopping, and boat launches. Your pre-arrival welcome guide includes local favorites curated by Michelle and updated by past guests.
