Villa'Cape Florida 'with heated pool / spa on a wide Gulf access canal

Great outdoor space

We loved our stay in this lovely property. The swimming pool and spa were amazing. Lots of water toys for the kids to enjoy so they were in the pool every day. There were some kayaks for paddling along the quiet canals and the house is close to the nature preserve so you can easily paddle over there. There were some bikes, which are handy for checking out the reserve as well. You could pretty well avoid using a car since all essentials are within a 5-10 min bike ride. Great location. The house was spotless and well stocked. Hopefully we are lucky enough to be able to return.

My three teens and I stayed here and had a great time. The house was fantastic, clean and the owners furnished it nicely which made us feel at home, and the notes around the house were thoughtful and helpful. My kids all screamed upon entry and ran to select their bedrooms....beyond excited. We used the pool toys, a provided cooler for driving around and went on a bike ride as well. The kids had an absolute blast. We watched the sunsets at night while in the pool and hot tub, and it's perfectly located near Ft Myers beaches and a hop over to Sanibel/Captiva. We bummed around every day to the area beaches, shopping, swimming, parasailing, shelling, paddle boarding, Captiva dolphin cruise, jet skiing and a banana boat (ouch). The hot tub helped my muscles recover from all said activities. It was great to play all day and come back to the house later in the afternoon to rest, make dinner and relax by the pool or watch a move. Cannot say enough about the lanai and how pretty it is, and the dock. The owners really have provided everything for convenience. This was our first vacation in a few years and it was well worth it. We enjoyed the proximity to Publix and their key lime pies (three), Doc Fords and paid a few visits to Schnappers for root beer floats, Diamondhead for nachos and smoothies, and Sanibel Inn for a rum runner or two. The drives to the beaches were easy and pleasant since you can look at the Gulf on the way. Certainly beats Chicago traffic. The owners were responsive and kind, and we look forward to one day staying there again. This is the first time we've stayed in a house, and we won't stay in a hotel again. We looked at a significant number of properties before selecting this one. You cannot go wrong with this house - it's a peaceful setting and picture perfect. Coming from a house 10 minutes from O'Hare airport, we could hear a pin drop. :) And, if something does go wrong, remember, it's a house...things happen! I would book this house again in a heartbeat, and have already recommended it to family members. Amazing time! Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did, and get those pies!

Mattresses and pillows were not at all comfortable.

This home is beautiful. Check in was easy, home was clean and kitchen was well stocked when we arrived. The pool and the spa are wonderful. Pool during the day, spa in the evening. The lounge chairs by the pool could use some cushions on them for comfort, but it was nice to have four loungers. We had a couple issues when we arrived with burnt out lightbulbs and some small ant like bugs on the kitchen counter where guests typically put their food, but when we let the owner know, he took care of these issues right away. One of the faucets in the master bath had a constant drip which we made the owner aware of, but it was not fixed during our stay. Also, there was a misunderstanding about the home having an outdoor barbeque grill. I was told there was a grill to use, but the grill is a table top camping grill, and there was no propane left in the cylinder, so we had to purchase that ourselves from the local Lowes. Ultimately we did not end up using the grill because of the hassle of a table top camping grill. The location of this house is great, being so close to all the activity and beaches of Fort Myers, lots of shopping options, and many nearby restaurants. Only down side to the location was the road noise from the highway close by, but we got used to that. We loved this house so much we have already booked again for next year. We are so looking forward to returning to Cape Coral, FL and staying in this beautiful home again.

My family and I enjoyed everything offered at this rental. Very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Convenient location for all of your shopping needs. The pool and hot tub are fantastic! Highly recommend, and we hope to visit again soon!

The house was clean Well stocked kitchen The pool was amazing

Overall it was a good time. However a few things to point out-we were asked to wash towels and no laundry soap was provided. Also, no toilet paper so we had to run and buy some. The cleaner left half eaten food on the dryer which questioned the cleanliness. As this all is sounds negative, the pool and hot tub were nice but had some issues we had to call the maintenance company for. The hot tub jets stopped working twice. The house and neighborhood are beautiful besides the few nuisances we experienced.

The house was as beautiful! Pool and hot tub were so nice! Heated with solar panels! The house had all the amenities we needed! We had a windstorm one night that blew out a couple screens in the pool area. We called property manager and she came right to the house! Such great service! We used the bicycles and rode to the Eco Preserve only a mile away! We would rent this home again!

This home is located in an area that has easy access to highways, with many restaurants within a few miles. 25-30 minutes to beaches and Historic Fort Meyers. Quiet neighborhood.
