Cape Coral Vacation

We found the property to be very clean, comfortable, and well stocked upon our arrival. We enjoyed the outdoor lanai area and pool very much. We enjoyed the canal in back and even caught a few nice snappers for dinner. Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We would definitely consider staying in this lovely home again if we visit Cape Coral in the future. The property management company was easy to work with and quick to respond to a minor issue.

Wonderful Stay in Cape Coral!

My husband and I loved staying at Villa Chiara. The house was very comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, the pool noodles and floats, the bikes, the plentiful bath and pool towels, and the thoughtful details like hand soaps and travel-sized toiletries. And the lanai is really a highlight, with lovely canal views, a nice gas grill, firepit, dining table, TV, loungers, and of course the heated pool, which we spent SO much time in. We also really loved the location. The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were friendly, and it was incredibly easy to get to shopping and restaurants – both on Cape Coral Parkway and at the two marinas (Cape Harbor and Tarpon Point). We would definitely stay here again!

Pleasant Stay at Villa Chiara

We had a lovely 17 day stay at Villa Chiara and came to escape the brutal February winter of the Chicago suburbs. The home was clean and well- stocked with many amenities, especially kitchen supplies. The pictures represent the home well. The pool area is spacious with plenty of chairs to sit outside, and there are chairs on the dock by the canal to watch the boats go by. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The Publix is a short 4 minute drive. We stayed there with our adult daughter and would definitely stay there again.

The property was beautiful and we had a wonderful time.

We’ve rented properties numerous times. This is the only property that requires a physical check out. Our flight home was cancelled which we found out about at 2:30am. We ended up driving home 24 hours. We couldn’t get the property manager until after 7 am so we couldn’t leave when we wanted to.

I m so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us, and got to relax by the pool in beautiful Cape Coral. Thank you for the 5 star rating as we offer one of the best properties here in Cape Coral. I'm sorry to hear that your flight canceled going home at 230am. I can sure understand your frustration with a 24 hour drive home now and learning about this at 230 am. We do offer early check outs as most guests like to do it on the last night as they plan early flights home the next day but it needs to be arranged during normal business hours. You and your guests are welcome back anytime and thank you for keeping the house so clean and tidy during your stay . Stay healthy and safe, Jeff.

Wonderful vacation home!

We had a wonderful time at the villa. The house was amazing! We especially enjoyed the swimming pool which was clean and beautiful! We ate meals out on the patio/lanai and watched sunsets from the dock. We used the bikes on our 1st night - there was a restaurant nearby that we biked to. After that we used uber and then got a rental vehicle for the remainder of our trip. Jeff and Sigrid were both amazing. They replied to my messages and questions immediately. We prefer this location to being on the beach because of the quiet setting. And its only a 20-25 min drive to the beaches! We hope we can stay here again!!
