About this property

Wonderful view, located on a wide Canal, large Pool and Lanai, great Location

Villa Manatee - Look no further – you have found the sea-shore-cottage style vacation home who have been dreaming about right here! You will feel a hint of the Hampton’s as soon as you walk through the door and step into a maritime masterpiece of pristine calm and relaxation.

The home is very spacious; the open design and the bright colors will set all your senses on vacation mode. Villa Manatee is located in one of the most beautiful Cape Coral neighborhoods and close to the river; the house overlooks a wide canal full of water lilies and there is no better place to sit and enjoy nature than down there on the dock. Even though this view makes you feel like you are far away from the city you are actually close to the bridges across the river to Ft. Myers and very close to shopping and dining.

Villa Manatee’s maritime charm will take you captive right away and makes you fall in love with Cape Coral, the heart of the Waterfront-Wonderland; three bedrooms provide plenty of space for a party of six; the master bedroom features a king-size bed, the guest bedroom features a queen size bed, while the second guest room (we like to call it the pirate suite) has Twin beds and is ideal for kids or those young at heart. HD Cable Smart TV’s are provided in the living room, master bedroom, and the “pirate suite”.

The lanai is huge, all pavers, the brand-new pool with an electrical heat pump allows swimming all year round; a BBQ-grill is waiting for your steaks and the mild breeze from the river will enchant you day after day and make this the best vacation ever.

We do not charge per person rates, rates are for the villa up to the maximum allowed number of guests.

Beautiful Sun and Relaxation

Villa Manatee was the nicest place for us to be during the stay-at-home mandate for the covid-19 virus. Enjoying the lovely lanai, pool, and boat dock on the canal, shaded with two palm trees helped us to relax a bit among all the uncertainties, The owners, Stephan and Sabrina, were so accommodating making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our month's stay. Because of the escalating circumstances in Ohio, we decided we better head for home a week early, much to our dismay. We do have very nice memories of our stay there, though, and thank the Sanfords for such a nice , clean, well-maintained house and yard..

Perfection!

I cannot say enough great things about this property!! My family visits Cape Coral several times a year (this was our 4th rented house this year alone) and this house was by far my favorite! It is super clean, meticulously kept, well stocked with everything you would need, and in a great location. The owners were wonderful and super responsive. I made a mistake during the check in process and they were very accommodating. I truly can’t rave enough about it. The pool area was lovely and spacious. The house was laid out just right. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out. I loved drinking my coffee and watching the sun rise over the canal. The kids also enjoyed feeding the turtles. We all can’t wait to go back!

Nice house - check in/out process inconvenient

The house was very clean and looked as described in the listing. However, the beds were all very uncomfortable. I have rented several homes through VRBO and have never had the experience I did this time with check in/out process. Our group was all adults and very capable of reading and following the house “rules” without being instructed to not sit on the furniture in wet swimwear etc. I have always treated every home I have rented with respect just as I would my own home. I found it very frustrating and inconvenient to have to take time out of my vacation for this check IN/OUT process. Other than the uncomfortable beds and this checking IN/OUT process we had a very nice stay in the house. The house was very clean.

I would recommend this house to anyone. The accommodations were lovely and they had EVERYTHING you would need. The pool was great and very relaxing. I was a little surprised by Stephen's abrasiveness, which bordered rudeness considering the reviews, but he didn't stay with us so I guess it was all good!
