The Resort at Tranquility Lake Helping Locals

The RV Resort at Tranquility Lake, off Durden Parkway and Burnt Store Rd., has already made an impact on the city of Cape Coral in a good way before it even opens by providing a service for the community, they hope to be a productive part of.

While it wasn't slated to begin accepting guests until the fall of 2023, they have opened its facility to FEMA trailers housing those who lost their homes permanently or temporarily in Hurricane Ian. The temporary residents are from Lee County with many from the barrier Islands such as Ft. Myers Beach and Pine Island.

On February 15^th, 2023¸ board members of the Northwest Neighborhood Association were given a tour by Resort Manager, Kevin Karau of Equity Lifestyle Properties.  The FEMA trailers, all similar in appearance, were neatly arranged on pads throughout the park giving it a neat, uniform appearance.

While Tranquility Lake is still building out to its eventual capacity of 500 retail luxury RV Trailer Pads, it does have water and sewer to support the housing of up to 144 RVs as part of its first phase of construction. There are about 105 FEMA trailers parked there now.

Applicants must pass background checks to be allowed on the property. It's a requirement by Resort Manager Equity Lifestyles Properties of all their guests now and when the Resort is opened and fully functioning. Rules are stringent to maintain a clean, safe environment. Temporary residents are on a 30-day renewal basis and must show proof that they are making progress towards finding permanent housing. The FEMA trailers are temporary and expected to remain for about 6 months, up to 2 years.

Occupancy limits are enforced, and 30-day maintenance inspections are required.  The FEMA travel trailers set on the property are completely turnkey and ready for occupancy.

Once construction of the remaining phases are complete, the RV Resort at Tranquility Lake will be a full-fledged resort environment surrounding two lakes that will eventually include amenities such as a pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, and a dog park.     The community is gated with 24-hour security.

The reservations center number for Equity Lifestyle Properties is 1-877-570-2267. Equity Lifestyle runs 445 RV parks and campsites throughout the U.S. and Canada.

New RV Park in Cape Coral Florida - The Resort at Tranquility Lake Update

Hi Members:

I have an update on the progress being made at The Resort at Tranquility Lake.  I stopped to check out the site and decided to take a short video for you all to see.

Progress is certainly showing on this project site and the excitement continues to grow in anticipation of Phase 1 completion later this year!

Sources tell me that there will be a lot of amenities in this phase for example:

1. Welcome Center with gatehouse for security at the entrance
2. There will be three swimming pools at the Club House (a large building near the lake)
3. Boat ramps
4. Boats to rent for fishing on the lake
5. Pickleball courts
6. Green spaces
7. Laundry building (building at the end)
8. Dog park behind the laundry building
9. Patios for each RV pad

Wow! What a great year it's turning out to be for NW Cape Coral residents!

We are growing fast and are so glad to be sharing information with our Lifetime Members like you.

Together We're Better!

Stay Healthy!

Luxury RV Resort Update

Members,

As we told you a few months ago, the new owners submitted a revised site plan based on the one that had been in place since 2018. This new plan is very similar to the original plan. It's important to recognize the resort will remain a Luxury RV Resort. Here's what we know: •       The property was sold to MHC LLC in Oct. 2020. •       It will now be known as The Resort at Tranquility Lake. •       It will be operated by Equity LifeStyle Properties Inc.

Lots are smaller than the original plan. The new plan does not include the cabin-like structures next to each lot. There will be no sales of lots, only daily, weekly and monthly rentals. Construction begins on Phase I soon.

Phase I consists of 36.26 acres for 144 motor coach sites, an amenity center, a welcome center with a gatehouse, a restroom/laundry area, a dog park, a common space, and private streets.

It will run along Durden Parkway and down Burnt Store Road to about the middle of the lake. It includes a rework of Durden Parkway at the developer's expense to improve the entrance/exit.

The property will be surrounded by a 9ft berm and landscaping with 1,345 canopy and palm trees. There will be 85 trees and 841 shrubs planted along Durden Parkway and 54 trees and 527 shrubs will be planted along Burnt Store Rd.Phase II and III will occur at a later date. You can expect additional updates as we receive information on this project.
