Perfect getaway

We decided to spend a little more for a larger house and we were not disappointed! Since Covid started we wanted to get away and just chill at a pool. Check in was really easy I like that they offer a phone call in lieu of meeting someone. The house was easy to operate including the spa, lights and fountains. The master bathroom was amazing! And it was great having Publix close by so we could cook lunch and dinner. Hooking up a laptop to watch any of the apps was easy as well. Will definitely be back when visiting Cape Coral.

Villa Francesca

Ann, property manager responded quickly to all our needs. Arrived with the main floors needed cleaning. The refrigerator did not function causing us to move freezer items to a family's house. We needed to use a cooler with ice for perishable items. The cleanliness of the house could have been improved with baseboards washed, and windows cleaned. Could also use an updating of furniture. Kitchen pots and pans were in poor to no use in this "gourmet" kitchen. The pool and spa were enjoyed though we had a low salt alert.

Beautiful Home!

Our family spent the Thanksgiving holiday at this beautiful home & it did not disappoint. Very spacious, enough for our family of 8 to move around with ease. Very comfortable space. We spent the majority of our time in the lanai enjoying the pool, views & able to just relax. I personally tried some fishing & actually caught 4 catfish from the dock. The homes host, Anne was very kind and knowledgeable, answering all questions we had and giving us tips on the best local establishments to visit. We will most certainly will be happy to book again! *Maybe add a tv in the master suite

House is beautiful!

This house was beautiful, and just as listed! The pool and hot tub were amazing and wonderful to come home to after a day at the beach. Our girls (and ustoo!) absolutely loved the pool and were in it every day. The four bedrooms were great and gave our girls space of their own ( 3 teens, they needed it! Lol). The house was very clean and we had no issues. As mentioned in previous reviews, there were several lights out, but we actually replaced a few, no biggie. The garage came in handy for loading/unloading. The neighborhood was quiet and close to everything we needed. I do wish the house was closer to the beaches, the beach at the Boathouse is actually on the river and water is not the best. I would definitely recommend the house and area, but be prepared to drive a little to get to the Gulf. Our week was just what we needed!

Family vacation with a few headaches

We were very excited about this rental. However upon checking in we were notified that there was no hot water and the outside TV was not working. We were asked to contact the maintenance person directly because the rental company tried calling the day before and received no response. The agent thought that if we contacted the maintenance guy directly there would be a faster response. We were also informed that the pool had not been cleaned the week before but it was safe to swim in. We called maintenance and the water and TV was fixed the next day. That night a storm came through and the screen on the lanai came down. We again called maintenance the next day to inform him about the screen and that the hot water not working again. He informed us how we needed to reset the water heater and the hot water would come back on. He also informed us that he would do his best about the screen. We had to call the rental company to find a remedy for the screen due to a lack of urgency from the maintenance contact. Then the main bathroom shower would not turn on. We found a note on the counter that said to unplug it and plug it back in to reset it. All week long we had the water problems. It was really frustrating for how much we were paying for the house. The outdoor pool area is nice but overgrown with weeds. My father in law started pulling them after a few days. Not what we would expect for this nice of a home. The couch is sticky and needs to be thoroughly cleaned. There are a decent amount of pans and utensils in the kitchen. You will also find a crock pot, which came in handy for our stay. There are lightbulbs out throughout the whole home. These should be replaced. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of bedding items for all three rooms and the Murphy bed. The dishwasher is old and needs to be replaced. You may need to run it a couple of times for your dishes to be clean. There are 7 pool towels but other towels that you could use for the pool. There are a few pool floats that are nice for the pool. The internet and cable worked great. We had 5 people streaming and there was only a bit of a lag. Overall we would not rent this property again. It has a lot of potential to be a quality rental, but needs some love and maintenance.
