The property is amazing, there is much to do in the home. We enjoyed the pool right on the water, kayaks, and paddle boards. The house is fully stocked with everything you need and hosts were communicative. If your plan is to hit the beach, that was the only downfall. I read on the description the distance of beaches but also read some close beaches which there are not, the closest access is about 45 minutes away.

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.!!

A wonderful stay
We enjoyed our time at Schell-Topia. The home was beautifully decorated and contained everything that you would need. The outside view was picture perfect. The kids loved playing air hockey in the garage, too.
Can't say enough, hosts were very helpful and made us feel at home. We would highly recommend!

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!

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!

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!!

Great family vacation
We had a great vacation with our family of 11. We had 6 adults and 5 children, 7 to 6 months. We had plenty of room to roam around the house, the pool was nice and warm and we used the screen lanai for all our meals and game playing at night. The garage has air hockey and shuffleboard. The older kids enjoyed that!

Paradise on the Lake
Our family was looking for a place to feel the sunshine and enjoy the outdoors amidst a long winter and this place delivered on every level. We used everything Stu and Cathy provided from the pool toys, fishing gear, bikes, kayaks and ample outdoor seating. The inside of the house is beyond spacious but quite frankly the majority of the time we spent outside. The setup of the property is very private and because you aren’t in a resort setting it truly was the peace and quiet we were seeking. The neighborhood was also great with shopping and dining nearby. We golfed at the course about a mile from the property and rented a full set of clubs for only $10! Highly recommend!

Great Stay @ Shell Topia
We had a great stay in Cape Coral with 14 family members comfortably fitting in this great house. Home was very clean and pool/hot tub were great. Caught some nice fish off the dock which kept the kids busy! We loved the screened in porches for coffee in the morning. Convenient location, we tried out Fort Meyers Beach, Sanibel, Captiva, and Venice Beach! Had a great time trying out different places. Stu was fantastic and even made sure we got in the property early. Will stay at one of their properties again!!
