We have rented a different house each of the last 8 years that we have been coming to Cape Coral on vacation and we have never seen alarms on patio doors as this home has. This home has high end furnishings , fixtures and appliances, HOWEVER, if I had known the following details I would never have rented this home:
1. There are alarms and all patio doors which prohibit indoor/outdoor living as you have to push a bypass button as you are going through the door or a SQUEALING alarm will sound. That is by far the deal breaker for our family. It was completely prohibitive to being able to go in and out to the patio area. There is a laminated sign posted at each patio door that reads:
DOOR ALARMS
For safety and insurance reasons, the holmeowners have safety alarms on all sliding doors. EVERYTIME a door opens, these will go off.
To BYPASS the alarms, Press the small button attached to the alarm before opening the doors.
** Unfortunately, you have to press the button AFTER opening the door when coming back in.
2. There are absolutely no beach accessories available to use whatsoever.
3. The pool in not only unheated, there is not even a solar cover.
So, if you are going to stay inside of the house the whole time that you are visiting, then this is definitely a house you should rent.
We did have internet issues that were mostly resolved quickly by the management company and owner and that was much appreciated.
