Great property

This property worked perfect for our family. We had age ranges all across the board and we all had a great time. We loved the pool, pretty much spent most days in there. We used the boat one day and that was also great. The different spaces allowed enough space for everyone. Would definitely stay here again.

Spring Break 2025

We stayed here with 13 people and had a great time! House was very clean and fully stocked with anything we needed. The kids fished off the dock and caught fish everyday. The pool is great for kids with shallow areas on both ends. The basketball hoop was a huge hit. Bedrooms are great size and its awesome that each one has its own bathroom on the main floor. The host Sara was great and got back with us right way if we had any questions! We took the boat out a couple days and that was amazing.

Fun in Cape Coral

Five grandchildren 9 and under with their parents and their grandparents in this roomy and well equipped house. A few minor problems that the owner was apprised of and plenty of good days in the pool and hotub! We made trips to the beach and the cousins loved the bunk bed rooms where they had sleep overs. We loved Four Freedoms Park playground and the great ice cream stores near the house!

Great place for our group

We came down for a baseball tournament and had a great experience with this home and owner. Sara was very informative up front and we got plenty of use from the hot tub, pool, and tiki hut bar! It's definitely on the short list for places to come back to if we return for another year of baseball.

Great host and amenities!

My family of 16 stayed at this house and we enjoyed our time. The host was the most responsive host I've ever had and extremely helpful. Provided great recommendations and we were able to walk to the art festival and other amenities (1 mile). Fishing wasn't great for us, but may have been weather! Amazing deal with renting the vehicle that really helped our family get around and to and from the airport. Hot tub and pool were well used by kids and adults alike. There were some issues with odor and cleanliness, but the host was very responsive and willing to send someone over when I provided the feedback.

Hooked on Bimini

We stayed with our 3 sons( 2 out of three of their spouses) and all 8 of our grandchildren and still had enough room. We had a blast playing the table shuffleboard. One of our grandsons caught his first fish with the gear provided at the residence. We had a great week overall.

Outstanding stay

Our group of 13 thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There was more than adequate space, and the amount of little extras made our lives much easier and enjoyable. There were plenty of beach toys for all ages, fishing poles and bait buckets and all kinds of other amenities. Sara was extremely responsive and a joy to talk to regarding the few questions we had on our first day. We are already looking to come back soon!

Great Experience from start to finish!

Sarah was an amazing host. She thinks of everything. There were so many personal touches in the home (charge cords, extra coolers, fishing gear, etc etc etc). They’ve left no stone unturned. We enjoyed a week with the boat - great location! House was very nice. Our adult children loved the entertainment things - especially the pool and hot tub - along with the boat! I highly recommend this property and / or this management group!

Great property, great host.

Loved my stay. Host was responsive and amazing. I made a quick decision on the property because of all the high reviews. My quick decision was confirmed as correct immediately upon arrival. Every detail has been thought through and I would call it a 5 star hotel like experience. The host had anticipated every possible need or want. I would definitely rent it again.

Grandpa’s 70th Birthday

We had an awesome time celebrating my husbands 70th birthday with our kids and granddaughters. The house was very comfortable for the 9 of us. The tiki bar was a hit and everyone enjoyed the pool. Sara was very responsive when we had anything that came up. The granddaughters were already asking if we can do this again next year.

Spring Break Getaway!

Hooked on Bimini could NOT have been more perfect four our group of 16! There was something for everyone. We enjoyed fishing off the pier, playing some mean games of volleyball and basketball in the pool while watching March Madness on the outdoor TV, and ending our days at the tiki bar. The house was immaculate and spacious. The hosts thought of everything! We would definitely recommend Hooked on Bimini for your next visit! - The Iowa Crew

About the host

Hosted by Sara Martin

Host profile image
We are native Minnesotans who truly love to travel! When at home, you can usually find us at a basketball or baseball game. When traveling, you can find us in a vacation rental. We have traveled to other people's properties all over the world and taken many notes to bring back to our first vacation rental in Cape Coral. We are so excited for this new adventure in our lives and cannot wait to share our little piece of paradise with your family!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this home the second we saw it. The size can accommodate our entire family and the location is a quick boat ride to hours of fun in the intercoastal. All the fish under the dock on our first visit didn't hurt either! We knew this home would provide amazing family vacations or our family and for many others!

What makes this property unique

This home can accommodate more than one family and has enough common space to allow everyone to be able to spread out. The Tiki bar is an amazing place to relax after putting the kids to bed and the pool in this house has room for everyone. This is the perfect place to enjoy the Florida sun!
