We have never stayed in the Cape Coral/Ft. Myers area, even though we typically visit Florida once a year or so. We were unsure on whether we wanted to attempt to vacation this summer or not, but we desperately needed a change of scenery, due to the last several months of social distancing and quarantine. The only requirement was that we find a nice home with a pool and lanai, as our kids (ages 8 and 10) just wanted to swim all week, within distance to a beach and restaurants. Nothing else.
It's hard to buy/book anything online. You just never know if you're gonna get exactly what you're hoping for, but when we opened the front door to Villa Oasis, we were blown away by the cleanliness, attention to detail and just the beautiful home that we were going to spend the next week in. There wasn't one thing out of place and it was extremely clean. The kitchen was perfect. The showers were immaculate. The bedrooms were nicely decorated. The lanai and pool area was incredible (we had SO much fun). The canal off the back of the house was perfect for my husband and one of my sons to fish (they caught 7 fish - blue gill, white bass and catfish). We didn't use the BBQ on the back patio, but the fact that it was there is SO nice. We also didn't use the hot tub (it was 90+ degrees the entire time and NO rain), but we almost did! The lanai helped keep critters/bugs away -- and the seating area was such a nice touch. We spent almost all day swimming or sitting outside.
The neighborhood was safe, easy to find and we enjoyed watching fireworks around the pool over the canal (there were SO many neighbors providing a great show). We loved it so much that we drove around looking for homes to buy. Haha! :)
We went to Sanibel Beach one day (30-40 min drive) and drove through Matlacha, per the suggestion of the property manager. Such a cute little town. BUT - we came to eat and swim, and we didn't spend too much time away from the house.
Petra and Wolfgang, we could tell that you love your Cape Coral home. We WILL be back. Your property management team was super helpful and we loved meeting them! Thank you for letting us stay in your gorgeous home!
If I could give your home 10 stars, I would.
