We had such a great time at the house. Everything was perfect, including many small details. The bed was very comfortable. We really enjoyed the recliners after a long day outside as well. The kitchen was extremely well stocked. Thank you for a great vacation
The decor was beautifully detailed and comfortable as well as functional. We were unaware there was damage due to last years hurricane, but it did little to change what we were doing...just surprised it wasn't mentioned when we booked. We would recommend this home without reserve. Check in, relax and enjoy!
The whole experience was so great. The home was beautiful and spacious. The pool area was where we spent most of our time. From check in to check out was a breeze. Would go back. The electric charge was a worry. We never used the pool heater because of it. But it turned out even with the air on it was only $15.00 or so.

Beautiful property with private pool on canal. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. Large lot with 2 vacant lots on either side for more privacy. Home was very clean and spacious. Great bathroom and walk in shower. Heated pool. House is perfect if you are working remotely while there as there are 2 large desks with supplies. House is in more suburban area but easy to get to downtown area as well as tourist destinations and beaches. Great communication from Erin who is the property manager.

The house is decent and good location for family reunion event. There are many beaches near by to enjoy. However, guest instructions need to be read carefully since there are some items don't exist but guests get charges if they don't report to the manager during their stay. Missing garage opener will be charged $150 but it isn't provided from the beginning. Also, bathroom tissues are not sufficient.

Thank you Lanh!
We are very clear with that tis is a self-catering home. We provide one roll of paper per bathroom, one in the kitchen, a starter shower kit in each bathroom for each guest, and a kitchen starter kit with detergents etc.
The departure information is streamlined, so the same information goes out to all of our 30 properties. In this house the garage is not available for use (also advertised) so there's no garage opener.

NEEDS TONS OF TLC
I have to first and foremost state that the Property Management Company went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our stay bearable. Thank goodness for Brian!!!
I won’t say exactly how we felt here, just know that I wanted to leave immediately upon entering this home and would highly discourage anyone from staying here.
Property owner has neglected his home, and needs to do something immediately.
FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE, DON’T STAY HERE!!!!!!
Home is exactly as depicted. The home is very spacious and the layout is great. Highlight is the pool of course -- we enjoyed not having a covered lanai, and since the pool sits up on a deck it is generally free of debris or bugs. Pool heater works well -- electric heat pumps do take longer to get the pool to temperature but not much of an issue in February/March or later.Home seems well-maintained with weekly pool maintenance, bi-weekly landscape service, regular pest service etc. Also has automated anti-mosquito spray system installed around the pool deck.We arrived to a clean house. Supplies are on-hand for short-term visitors, not for our month long stay. Wish there was at least a swifter mop handle as longer term guests need to clean periodically.All appliances were newer and first rate. Pool toys were abundant. Sit-on kayaks were available and were awesome to use.One negative -- window coverings could be improved re: privacy.As home is on a canal you really do get a vacation vibe. Deck chairs and pads were great. Has a neat fire pit we didn't use fueled by propane. Gas grill newer and in perfect working order.We've never stayed in Cape Coral before. Home is close to everything (grocery, restaurants, etc.) except beaches.All in all highly recommend this home as either a short or long term rental.

Watch out for 100% mark-up on the electricity use!
While the property was pretty much as described there were some issues. The pool heater or the thermostat did not seem to work. The pool would only get up to ambient temperature slowly as the day went by and the sun warmed the surface. It was bought to the manager's attention but not really ever resolved. The main problem however was the charges for electricity usage. You will be charged 15 Cents a Watt as it mentions in their agreement. Now they first tried to say this was normal. But the local utility/power company is LCEC. The actual cost per Watt is around 7 to 8 Cents. You can call LCEC to confirm this. So this management company is effectively marking up the cost of electric by 100% ! They also do not provide any weekly credit towards electric which seems even more unfair. The home consumes at least $25 of electric per week even if sitting empty. So without the weekly credit you are paying towards property overheads. Then, in addition to that, expect to pay double the cost per Watt. When questioned, the manager said the extra cost is their "admin fee". Wow!!! She also got quite annoyed that I dared questioned the mark-up. Maybe its because I live locally and I am not a naive tourist that doesn't know anything. Personally, I think the electric charge was outrageous. They take your credit card details when you arrive and check the electric meter either weekly or when you depart. Other than that, the property was reasonable maintained and the elderly relatives that we booked this home for, enjoyed their stay.

Dear Anonymous,
First of all, I'm very happy your elderly relatives enjoyed their stay in Villa Africa. We are not very happy with your 2-star review because of our standard electricity charge. We take our guest experience very seriously and try to be very upfront with our fees. Our electricity charge of $0.14/kWh is clearly stated and informed before you make your reservation. I'm truly sorry if you missed this information. I'm looking at the latest bill from LCEC for $129.58 for 1151 kWh. That's actual cost of $0.1126/kwh. This fluctuates throughout the year. We charge our guests $0.14/kWh to cover this.
We tried to inform your relatives that the pool pump and heater runs on a timer. When the temperature goes down to the 50's during the night and the pool pump and heater are turned off, you will lose a lot of the heat in the pool. There was nothing wrong with the pool equipment and they did not want to increase the running time.
Your relatives took very good care of our house and would be welcome back anytime.
Best regards,
Fredrik Martensson

We had to get new boxes etc. from Comcast which was done asap. During high season, guests leave and arrive within 24 hrs. We get issues addressed in a very timely manner and everything was up and running within hours after arrival. We clearly advertise that we charge for electricity. All future guests are advised to look at previous reviews. This house is almost booked with 100% occupancy with very happy guests.

The home is impressive, spacious to the point of a coldness. The lighting leaves much room for improvement. Hanging lights not in sync with furniture placement, brighter light bulbs and more of them. Unfortunately the heated pool was not working upon arrival. It took five days to repair and warm it up. The living room TV stopped working half way thru trip. The home was well appointed, had all our needs. The Africa theme was well done! There was construction road work leaving the neighborhood and a home being built next door. We love riding bicycles, not a good area for bicycling. Overall, the home is great, just several glitches during our stay. The rental agent was responsive and tried to help every way she could within reason.
We really enjoyed our stay!! The pool was awesome, we throughly enjoyed watching a family of otters in the canal from the pool. We would definitely stay there again.
We just lost very suddenly our son my second eldest just a week before we arrived this was most difficult for my wife daughter and I, you see he was going to come with us and enjoy this vacation as well but he passed away so suddenly, so you see this place became our place of morning God couldn’t find a more perfect place, and yes I will highly recommend anyone that would want to visit, I will one day visit god permitting revisit again.
We had a wonderful time at this home. It was just beautiful, was in a great location and had a beautiful view. The Villa Africa theme throughout the home was really fun. Very well stocked kitchen, cold air-conditioning,o action great for shopping and beautiful outdoor covered patio and pool area. Great office area and laundry. Appreciated it being pet-friendly. We will definitely recommend and would love to come back!

2020 November Stay
We stayed in the Africa Villa for Thanksgiving. The prep for check-in was good and check-in was easy to do in the Covid environment. I would say the pool area was not as clean as I expected with debris in the water and my husband had to wash down the pool area with the hose, the rest of the house was clean. It is a nice place and we had all the amenities for cooking that we needed. It would have been nice to park in the garage but this was locked out for guests and wasn't really noted in the ad that it was not usable by guests.
It was posted in the ad that two of the three bedrooms had TV's but they did not, only the one in the room the kids slept in and my husband and I enjoy watching late-night TV. When I brought this up to Erin she was accommodating, above and beyond my expectations. She went out of her way to purchase a TV for us to watch and dropped it off at the front door.
I wasn't expecting her to do this but never the less it was appreciated. We could not get the two ceiling fans working in the living room and the house right by the pool slider door. I took pictures of the switches we thought were the ones' to turn the fans on and sent to Erin so she could ask the homeowners. We never heard back our entire stay so we gave up using those fans. My husband is a contractor and checked everything to get them to work, even the fuse box but they seemed to be not working and maybe needed new switches? There is not a lot of lighting in the house, meaning more the bedrooms. None of the light switches turned on the lights in the bedrooms you had to make your way to the desk lights to turn them on, plus most of the light bulbs were missing throughout the house hand there was only one replacement bulb that was in the laundry room.
Outside of that, the house is remote and not really close to a lot outside of grocery etc, so if you like quiet and peaceful this is the place. plus there are two lots on both sides that are empty. Neighbors are nice.
Maybe I am being picky but I expect things to work seamlessly when I rent a place and not have to not spend time cleaning or replacing broken items.
Would recommend this property but I think more maintenance needs to be done more often to make sure everything works prior to the guest arriving.
The property overall was good but the cleanliness of the property could have been much better. We cleaned the house ourselves . The shower was a bit disappointing. I think for the price the shower head could be upgraded. Other than that we happy with the property.
Clean, comfortable place in a quiet residential neighborhood. Relaxing to hang out in the screened area that included a pool.

Nice but a few things to note!
Overall the house was nice, spacious and it was great looking over the canal with a great breeze on the patio area. Location was good - easy to get around and we went back and forth to Ft. Myers. Erin the property contact was great to work with! Easy to get a hold of and brought us dish soap and laundry detergent when we arrived!
There are some things however that need to be noted when you are looking to stay here. Some an issue, some just observation/opinion.
We did not have access to the garage as the listing stated. Which we brought our Jeep so we could take the top off and put it in the garage - couldn’t do that. The pool took two days to warm up to use - which is one of the main reasons we rented this house. So to the next guests right after us - your welcome because we’re gonna get charged for heating it. The owner really needs to just have it heated PRIOR to guests arriving. As well, the pool needs to be cleaned PRIOR to guests arriving, not on Wednesdays. It was pretty dirty when we arrived. I also would suggest having more pool amenities - there was one raft that was not aired and stuck in a corner dirty and one noodle. If people are coming on vacation they are not going to buy these types of things for just a week. Also there are lights outside that need replaced. Patio furniture could be updated - it’s pvc pipes.
Inside, the blinds need replaced - they are very worn, torn, some are missing. The printed cloth that’s on the walls is coming off. There was NO extra toilet paper. Just a roll in each bathroom - to me this should be something they have extra of.
Light switches were a pain to figure out. Numerous ones not labeled, did not do anything or were not working. Some lamps did not have working light bulbs, and the dining room table is nice but it’s decorated pretty fancy.
I would suggest a more informal table in the area that is by the patio. Especially if you are bringing kids! There is a chandelier light hanging where one should be. I would also suggest having bar stool chairs for the kitchen for people to visit.
The neighbor was super helpful and very friendly! I would recommend Miceli’s (?) as he did - it was AMAZING!

We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Villa Africa. We much appreciate all the input given.
For future reference, the ad states very clear that the villa offers only parking, NOT the garage.
To get the pool up to temperature depends on the weather of course. Since not everybody wants s to heat the pool, we can't always heat the pool prior to arrival. The same goes for cleaning the pool. The pool company comes once a week. In the meantime, there's a skimmer for the guests to use for the few things that make it through the screen.
The PVC furniture is usually much appreciated since they are rustic and can stand very well in the rough Florida climate.
We will definitely take it upon us to update the blinds, the wall cloth as well as mark all the switches.
This is a self-catering house. We supply one paper roll for each bathroom as well as a starter kit with soaps, shampoo, and detergents for the kitchen.
Thank you,

The home is very comfortable and specious.
Everything was fresh and clean. There were plenty of fresh white bath towels as well as pool towels. Each bathroom had all new travel size toiletries.
Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare full course dinner and entertain. It was nice to find essential spices and condiments in the kitchen cabinets.
Erin, our property manager was wonderful! We arrived 1.5 hours prior to the check in time and she met us at the house to let us in early. She greeted us with a welcome box of basic laundry essentials, hand soap, dishe soap and dishwasher tablets. She went through the house with us and explained everything. I had to contact her twice with some questions and she was very responsive and helpful.
Every night kids enjoyed the heated pool and beautiful patio area.
Villa Africa is wonderful home away from home and perfect for family vacation!
