Escape from Snow

This house is very comfortable and extremely well stocked. The lanai has plenty of comfortable seating and the pool was always warm enough for swimming. The owner responds very promptly to any questions. We would definitely stay at this home again.

Winter getaway

We arrived to a clean and warmly inviting home. The owners made sure that we felt welcome. The pool is on a channel and southern facing so we had a lot of sunshine everyday. The neighborhood was quiet. We had a very relaxing stay.

Beautiful home and pool. Unfortunately, weather did not allow use of the pool but we enjoyed the patio and grill. Home was very clean and neat. Kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. Owner was very responsive to answer questions. Great seafood at Twisted Lobster and Ariana Italian restaurants nearby. Thank you!!

Beautiful home

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Celia. We are a retired couple and appreciate the cleanliness of the house and the quiet neiborhood. We spent the week exploring the Ft Myers area and kayaking the local waters. The Manatee Park is a must see and we enjoyed hiking Six MIle Slough.

Perfect vacation rental!

We just spent a month here and enjoyed it so much that we’re returning in December/18 for 3 months. This was a fully stocked, nicely furnished vacation rental with everything we needed during our stay. It’s exactly as the pictures show it to be. We felt very much at home while there! The location is perfect! It’s in a quiet residential area that’s close to stores and restaurants. Lilo, the property manager was wonderful to work with and made our booking and stay problem free.

Great place on canal

Our family spent a very enjoyable week at the Cape Coral home on the canal. We enjoyed swimming in the pool as the weather was perfect Thanksgiving week. We enjoyed going to Sanibel Captiva Island. Toured the Ford Edison home In Fort Myers and had a great day in Naples. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family. The kids really enjoy playing cards on the porch at night. Thx!

Wonderful vacation property!

Nicely updated home with tasteful decor. The pool is solar heated, which cuts down on the hydro demands/costs. Location is very handy to everything. A couple of minor repairs are required to the toilets and stove top- nothing that spoiled our stay. Lilo was very easy to deal with. Neighbors are awesome! We were only sorry the place was booked for next year already.

Perfect Place for Vacation

This was our first trip to the gulf coast of FL. Cape Coral/Ft Meyers was a great place to visit. The house was perfect! Everything was brand new and it was very clean. We had everything we needed. Our boys loved playing in the pool. It was nice to have the sliding doors in different rooms that led out to the pool area. The house is just as pictured! The location was great, it was close to everything we needed. Not too far away from many different beaches. Lilo was very helpful and was there if we needed anything at all!

Excellent stay

The house was everything it was billed as. It was very well stocked with all the essentials plus a few that were not expected from previous homes we had rented in the past. Items like paper towels, toilet tissue, washing pods, dishwasher detergent, etc. The outdoor lanai and pool were great. Spent a lot of time around and in the pool. The furniture inside was very comfortable and the appliances looked to be almost new. LILO was very helpful with the few small issues we had. She was easy to get ahold of and responded quickly. We would have booked again for next year but it was already spoken for. Would recommend staying here.

Great for the price

Check in was extremely easy. Loved that we were able to park in the garage. This is unusual for a vacation rental property. There was even a garage door opener. The kitchen is very well equipped and we ate most of our meals at the property. The pool area was fantastic with plenty of beach towels and brand new comfy patio furniture! Laurie was absolutely wonderful to us and wanted to make sure that we had a great vacation. Thanks Laurie! If you like hiking there are a number of county preserves in the area. Plenty of shopping. Accessible beaches but the traffic can be daunting, although I must admit we were there at one of the busiest tourist times of the year. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Bowes

Hi. I'm Laurie and welcome to our home! We have a policy to treat you like family and want you to have a great vacation. We all work hard to have that special time when we can get away and enjoy relaxing and going to new, exciting places. Cape Coral is situated in a unique and beautiful part of SW Florida and if you haven't been here before, you are in for a treat- and you'll probably want to come back again and again!

Why they chose this property

Villa Celia is a beautiful coastal one story home and includes a grand patio/lanai area with a heated pool. We want you to enjoy your stay and try to provide you with everything you need to make this an incredible vacation. We furnished the home so you can feel very comfortable. We added high-quality bedding, comfortable sofas and lots of seating space. In 2020 we upgraded the TVs, adding a large 65" big screen in the family room for all the Covid-19 stay-at-home binge watching opportunities.!

What makes this property unique

Your access to everything is amazing! We are close to beaches, shopping, restaurants and we are just a 25-minute drive to the Southwest International Airport. If you find cheaper flights into the Tampa (2 hours), Ft Lauderdale (2.25 hours), Miami (2.5 hours), or Orlando (3 hours) airports, it is a beautiful drive to our home, so might be a great alternative. We love the Tampa airport in particular and the drive is beautiful- all along the coast.
