Great for large families

This home was in a great location on Lake Kennedy and had plenty of space for our large family. It fit our needs perfectly. The home was very clean and well stocked. The kids enjoyed the outdoor space and pool. The communication with the host was exceptional and they even were able to get us in the home a little early since we arrived in town that morning. Would definitely recommend!

A Great Getaway

The home had just the vibe we were looking for and fit our group of 6 adults and 5 children perfectly. The pool alongside the waterfront was wonderful and the hot tub was nice and hot! We didn't get to kayaking or fishing as hoped, but the amenities were available. Even though we brought our own, five stars for having a Scrabble game and baby walker! We were pleasantly surprised by so many little things that made the stay away from home more comfortable. Highly recommend!

Great lake view

The house worked out very well for us. We had our adult kids and grandkids with us and there was something for everyone. Lots to do with the shuffle board, fishing, air hockey and of course swimming and chilling by the lake / pool. House had nice very nice personal touches and nice decor. Bedrooms are pretty bright in the mornings but other then that, very comfortable

Family Reunion

I searched many homes for our Family Reunion and 90th Birthday celebration for our Mother. The Schell-Topia property hit the mark on every level. Both the outdoors and indoors are well kept. It is located on a beautiful lake, large enough for boating, fishing, Kayaks, etc The Kitchen is full of all kinds of Cookware, Dishes, utensils, etc. Plenty of leftover spices from previous renters. The bedrooms were perfect for our family and the beds very comfortable. Plenty of towels, pillows. 2 sets of washer/dryer and great storage available for extended stays. Pretty much everything was in working order. The pool was great and temperature was perfect. Stu & Kathy were great with communications. I highly recommend this home and will likely stay here again in the future!

Family Get Away

This property was perfect for 9 adults (4 couples). Each couple was able to have their own room. The bedrooms were exactly what was stated on the site. The kitchen was perfect for us. We got groceries and cooked 3 of our 5 nights there. The kitchen was furnished with everything we needed to cook our meals. (minus a big kettle pot for a seafood boil, which we got a $30 one from target) Outside was nothing but spectacular. We spent mornings out in the lawn chairs soaking up the sun and floating in the pool. The kayaks were great for fishing in, sadly we were unsuccessful with our fishing adventure. We had a Shuffle Board tournament that was very competitive and fun! Evenings were spent soaking and reminiscing about the day in the hot tub and in the comfortable lanai. (5-6 people could sit in the hot tub comfortably). The house was about a 30 minute drive from RSW airport. Fort Myers beach was also about a 30 minute drive. Everything we did in Cape Coral was about 5 to 20 minutes. This house fit all our needs and was perfectly located. Thank you Stu and Cathy for allowing us to use your beautiful vacation home. We would definitely stay at another one of their locations again.

Awesome location

This property was perfect for our spring break trip. House was everything and more as in descriptions. Perfect amount of space, with everything you need. From kayaks to paddle board to games in the garage there was plenty to do on property. There was also a water park across the lake and mini golf and bowling close by. Stu and Cathy responded almost instantly to any question we had.

First family vacation

The house was very nice and the common area with the kitchen in the living room or part space for all of us. It was perfect. He had a problem with the heat the first four days which was very hard because we were all very cold. The weather wasn’t cooperating. The highlight of the trip for the property for us was the hot tub.!! because the weather was so cold. The pool couldn’t keep up being heated… love the garage area with the air hockey and shuttle board. That was a lot of fun for us and a large living room where we could all gather.!!

Beautiful Schell-Topia makes for a dream vacation!

We had a perfect week at the beautiful Schell-Topia. Eight of us (two 50+ parents and six kiddos ages 14 - 25) found the house to be the ideal spot to spend our vacation. The house was not only beautiful, but also extremely clean and comfortable. There was plenty of space for us to spend time together, and also for everyone to have a little quiet time when needed. We spent countless hours in the pool and hot tub during the day and into the evening. After dark we loved sitting on the dock watching the stars and talking. The location was great, close to Fort Myers where we spent an evening at Top Golf, and an easy drive to gorgeous Captiva where we spent a day. The star of the week was really the house though. Stu and Cathy have thought of everything to make a week at Schell-Topia just amazing. They are easy to communicate with, extremely responsive, and truly a joy to work with. I would highly recommend the amazing Schell-Topia for your rental needs, you won’t be disappointed!!
