Clean, updated house.

The house had all of the amenities we were looking for. The pool was great. There was one kayak that we were also able to use. Bikes were available, but we never had a chance to try them out. Overall, the owners were very response and the property manager was great too. I would recommend this house.

Absolutely Amazing!

Totally recommend! This house was more than a five star in our opinion. You will not be disappointed, everything was clean, organized, and well layed out. Perfect for traveling with other families with more than enough room. Pool and outside patio were great. Very quite neighborhood, lots of restaurants and grocery stores under a 5 minute drive. Stephanie was great to work with. Never delayed with responses and was very helpful with my many questions. We would book again in a heartbeat!! Beaches are great too. 30 minute drive to Ft Meyers beach depending on traffic. Book now if available, you will not regret it. Cheers. Don't listen the 1 star review!

Amazing house great location

This house was so luxurious. We stayed directly after the 1 star review. We had zero problems. The pool was so fantastic! The lights, the heat, the hot tub.....so awesome. The management company and Stephanie were very gracious and responded quickly to any questions we had. (The house so so many techie features that it comes with a huge handbook) Friends that live in south Florida visited us and were blown away. As many European rentals do, there is an extra electric charge but feel free to crank up that pool! We did and it was $90.00 which was so worth it when you are floating in that pool after dark with the gas fire going. Quick drive to Sanibel beaches. Do yourself a favor and plan a beach day in Captiva and go to the Mucky Duck for a sunset dinner. It's worth the drive! Check out the Edison Estate and Gardens and drive over to the Ft Myers manatee park. Thank you for a terrific week of warmth and luxury.

Wow - What a House!

From the first glance inside the front door - all you can say is WOW! From the amazing kitchen, to the billards room, to the deck, lanai, pool, hot tub, outside bar, the tiki hut on the dock - this is it - a vacation unto its self. This house was perfect for a post covid family vacation! Perfect! This is a great house!

Lovely Sanibel Shell

We were here for 2 months and have stayed in rental properties the last 4 years, and must say this one was equipped with an excellent amount of pots pans bake ware and dishes. Also they provided dish and hand soap to get you started along with some other amenities. The home was one of the cleanest we have stayed at. With Covid this was much appreciated.

WORST EXPERIENCE

Due to the covid-19 mandates/travel restriction I had to put in a request to cancel. I did this request through the VRBO web site where I had booked my vacation. There was a special cancellation called a “Public Emergency”. I did this request in April. The owner told me via my personal email NOT through the VRBO web site that I was not getting a refund that I signed HER contract that stated there was a 20% nonrefundable on it. I explained to her that I was canceling because the state of Florida was closed and travel was restricted. I reached out to VRBO asking for their assistance with the matter and they told me that I had to again send the owner of the property an email through the VRBO web site so that they could trace the process. I have even made international calls to the owner to discuss the matter. Today is 7/21/2020 and I still have not heard back from the property owner or VRBO about my refund that VRBO keeps telling me I am in titled to. I SO RENTERS BEWARE OF THIS PROPERTY!

Beautiful Villa Vacation

The Villa was beautiful, well equipped and clean. The location was perfect with grocery, restaurants, and shopping within minutes and only a 30 minute drive to the beaches. The property manager was responsive and very helpful and the Owner was delightful to work with. If you are looking for a quiet luxurious Florida then Villa Sanibel Shell is the perfect place to stay.

Close to Paradise

The house is beautiful. We had three families and everyone had plenty of room for sleeping and socializing together. The pool and hot tub are amazing. One grandson kept asking if he could go in the box, he loved the jet spray! The shallow end with the chairs was perfect for the little ones to splash in. Our oldest granddaughter never wanted to come out of the pool. We also liked the lanai with the fans. We adults played games outside under the fans, while the little ones slept. Having quite a few parks in Cape Coral for the kids to play was also a bonus. I would recommend this house and would love to return some day!

Traumurlaub im Traumhaus

Wir verbrachten 10 Tage in der Villa Sunibel Shell im Dezember 2018. Die Villa ist wirklich sehr sauber, nicht abgewohnt und hebt sich, wie ich finde, von vielen anderen Ferienhäusern in Cape Coral im positiven Sinne ab. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und luxuriös gewählt und man findet in der großen Küche alles was man zum Kochen braucht. Wir haben die meiste Zeit draußen auf der wunderschönen Terrasse, im Pool oder unten am Bootsdock verbracht. Es ist einfach eine besondere Stimmung, wenn ein solches Haus direkt am Wasser steht. Der Pool war sehr sauber und Nachts beleuchtet. Es war jederzeit genug Platz für unsere Reisegruppe mit 7 Personen vorhanden, egal ob drinnen oder draußen. Sehr begeistert hat uns auch der äußerst nette Kontakt mit der Vermieterin. Sie war jederzeit für uns erreichbar, sehr freundlich und stand uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Kurz gesagt: Ein super Urlaub in einem Traumhaus. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Amazing location!

The house was exactly like the pictures on line. Everything in the house was top of the line. All the little extra things were very convenient like beach chairs, cooler , bikes and more. The homeowners and manger are very nice and we enjoyed the welcome gift that was waiting for us upon arrival at the home. My family enjoyed the house so much it was hard to get them to go out. They truly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The location is centrally located to a host of stores, restaurants and supermarkets. We were a family of all adults but they have plenty of things for kids on hand. All you need to stay here is your Family and food. I highly recommend this home and will stay here if we come back to Cape Coral.

Your Own Private 5 Star Resort

No hesitation in recommending this wonderful home. It has EVERYTHING you need for a wonderful family vacation. The pictures do not do this place justice because it is even more beautiful in person. We have been renting houses in Florida for 5 years now and this was by far the most remarkable. The kitchen is well stocked. Top notch appliances, big refrigerator, nice stove - everything you want or need. Plenty of seating The amenities are first class offering plenty of towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, pool table and more. Also, being able to actually park in the garage was a plus. The lanai area was our favorite from having the tv and comfortable furniture to the fire-pit where we made s’mores. The outdoor kitchen with sink and refrigerator were an excellent addition. Loved being able to ride bicycles, take the kayaks out on the canal and fish from the dock. Caught a variety of fish. The tiki hut provided seating and shade for an even more enjoyable experience Lastly, Stephanie the owner, is a pleasure to deal with. She was always quick to respond to any and all our questions. We would recommend this property to anyone and can't wait to come back next year.

Amazing vacation!

We thought the house was absolutely amazing and had 2 wonderful weeks there! It had everything you could imagine. Everything also felt new and fresh. We had 4 children between 1 and 10 years and everyone loved the pool area, so even we adults. Plus also for letting bikes as well as beach chairs and parasols. The grill with accompanying outdoor fridge was used frequently! Also enjoy the pool table! We would definitely like to come back to this house and we will recommend it to others.

Traumvilla am Kanal

Sehr schönes, sauberes Haus in dem es wirklich an nichts fehlt, wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub. Die nähe zu Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und die Lage am Kanal hat uns gut gefallen. Mit dem gemieteten Motorboot haben wir geniale Ausflüge zu den Inseln unternommen und unterwegs auch viele Delfine gesichtet. Die Betreuung durch Hausbesitzer und Verwaltung war sehr freundlich. Uns ist der Abschied schwer gefallen und wir können die Villa jederzeit empfehlen. Vielen Dank !

Der Himmel auf Erden

Absolutes Top Objekt in Cape. Die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen, sehr liebevolle und gehobene Einrichtung, kein typisches"Rentalhouse".Ein Highlight ist der einzigartige Pool mit integriertem Whirlpool und Blick auf den River. Wir waren bereits in fünf verschiedenen Objekten in Cape, wobei diese Villa bislang mit Abstand das Beste war. Der Kontakt zum deutschen Vermieter war äußerst professionell, freundlich und sehr unkompliziert. Die Betreuung vor Ort auch genial. Die schöne neue Villa verfügt über einen großen solarbeheizten Wasserpool, elektrisch beheizbaren Whirlpool, einer großen Aussenbar mit Grill, Sitzgruppe mit Gasfeuerstelle, Essecke, Liegestühle und Outdoor TV. Die anfallenden Strom Nebenkosten (Klimaanlage, Poolheizung)halten sich durch die Solaranlage ebenfalls in Grenzen. Danke dass wir die aussergewöhnliche Villa erleben durften. Ein rundum perfekter Aufenthalt in diesem Haus, wir kommen wieder.

Wir haben uns während des 2 wöchigen Aufenthalts im Dez.16/Jan.17 in der Villa Sanibel Shell sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Poolbereich mit Blick auf den Kanal ist eine richtige Erholungsoase. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr schön und modern ausgestattet, man findet alles was das Herz begehrt. Das ganze Haus und jeder einzelne Zimmer spiegeln die Qualität und Liebe zum Detail wider. Ein wirklich tolles Haus und auch der sehr nette Kontakt mit der Verwalterin trägt zu diesem schönen Gefühl dazu bei. Die ganze Abwicklung vor und während des Aufenthaltes war bestens.

Not recommended at all! A very costly experience!!

This villa is beautiful HOWEVER I would not recommend it to anyone. When we paid the deposit, as asked, to the European bank account the money didn't convert to the correct amount as it changed it from U.K pounds to euros to dollars, the owners expected us to pay the difference. When we paid the final amount we paid it into the USA account and we got a email saying it wasn't enough as there had been a bank charge and they expected us to pay this. We also paid a large security deposit to cover any damage etc which they only gave us less than a quarter back. These extra charges greatly increased the total cost of the villa. We are 2 family's, 4 adults and 5 children. We were very careful and respectful of the villa and left it in the condition it was when we arrived. On our return we received an email from the owners saying they were 'sad' about the state of the villa and we were getting less than quarter of the deposit back. They said the BBQ was dirty, there was 2 marks on the walls and a towel rail had fallen off the wall. A locksmith had also had to be called during our stay as we returned home one day to find our master suit had locked itself from the inside- the management team couldn't open it so called a locksmith, we were locked out of the room for 4 hours. The locksmith said the locks were cheap yet the owners have charged us for this call out. (Electricity use was charged which we were expecting but this was minimal cost). They said 3 snooker cues were damaged at the ends and have charged us for 3 brand new cues. The tips were missing on 2 when we arrived and the tips only needed replacing yet we were charged for 3 whole new cues. The 2 black marks were small scuff marks which easily would have wiped up and may have been there before we arrived. We had used the BBQ only once and cleaned it to a better condition to when we arrived. The towel rail had not come off the wall it had just come unscrewed from the base plate- I had already had to fix this during our stay. I emailed the owner and explained all these points to which I received an email back saying they were 'irritated' by my email and it 'did not work for them'. They have refused to give us any more money back. They are unprofessional, unrealistic and unfair and have spoilt our holiday memorIes. If you have unfortunately booked already then inspect the villa very carefully and point out every mark & anything that doesn't look brand new. I do not recommended this villa at all!!!

Traum Ferien

Unser Urlaub in der Villa Sanibel Shell war für alle (6 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder), wunderschön, nur leider viel zu kurz.... Die sehr persönliche, nette, freundliche und kompetente Betreuung durch Frau van Laak, gleich ab Buchung gibt einem das Gefühl des "herzlichen" Willkommen, dass sich während der ganzen Zeit fortsetzt. Die Villa ist genau wie im Inserat beschrieben, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Alles ist gepflegt und sehr sauber. Die Küche und deren Einrichtung lässt gar nichts vermissen. Die Betten haben hochwertige Matratzen und sind sehr bequem. Der Poolbereich mit der Flachwasserzone für kleinere Kinder, aber auch zum Sonnen, dem Schwimmbereich und dem Whirlpool sind TOP. Unsere Kinder (3+5J.) waren "fast" nicht wieder aus dem Pool heraus zu bekommen. Die Liegen klasse und der Loungebereich mit dem (Feuer)Tisch, wunderschön. Die Möglichkeit des kostenlosen Telefonieren ins europäische Ausland ist sehr großzügig. Auch die Betreuung vor Ort, sehr nett, kompetent und verlässlich. Nette Nachbarn, ein schönes, ruhiges Grundstück. Einkaufsmöglichkeit (Publix), gleich in der Nähe. Wir werden die Villa gerne weiter empfehlen und auch gern noch einmal wiederkommen. Vielen Dank!
