Southeast Cape Coral, Florida
Turtle Creek is a single-story home on a calm residential street. Three bedrooms, two baths, room for six, and a backyard built around the pool.

The feeling of the place
The house is set up for the slow parts of a trip: coffee in the kitchen, a swim before lunch, dinner on the lanai while the light goes gold over the yard.
Everything is on one floor. The kitchen opens to the lanai through a pass-through window, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation outside.

Heated, fenced and open to the sky, with fruit trees and tropical plantings around the yard.

Covered and west-facing. It catches the late afternoon and evening, which is when most people end up out here.
