Homeowner Response:
Lesley also wrote in an email "just wanted to thank you both for renting your lovely home to us for the last 2 weeks. We had a great fortnight and are hugely delighted to have discovered such a lovely base in Cape Coral. Over the past 14 years, we've rented a number of different houses in the area, amongst which yours is outstanding - it's so well equipped and cared for, and the location for us as avid boaters was fabulous! Meeting a couple of dolphins and then, on another day, a grazing manatee, all in the canal just around the corner from Ultima was a highlight we shall always treasure!"

Hi Karen! Thank you for all of the information about Villa Ultima! We have been renting homes for our Easter vacation for about 6 years now and I have to say that you and Ed are certainly the most thorough and accommodating owners that we have dealt with. We are so excited about our upcoming stay at your home! Thanks again, Kim DiRienzo

Hi Karen, Villa Ultima is wonderful; it's everything it was advertised to be and then some! We're looking forward to a great week. Regards, Linda

Hi Karen and Ed Just to let you know we have arrived at Villa Ultima. The name does not do it justice. My kids think you should rename it Villa Outofthisworld!!! I am looking forward to a week of relaxation. Regards Elizabeth Bowman Hi Karen, Sarah and I wanted to thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home in Cape Coral. My mother and my son also had a wonderful time. In fact, had a hard time peeling them out of the pool every day. It took us nearly the entire week we were there to search behind every door and in every closet, but alas, we could not find Robin Leach. We hope to visit again in the future. Ever thankful and rested, Cindy Griffith and Sarah Caniglia (and Michael and Peggy) Dear Ed & Karen, There was probably close to 55 for dinner - all the boys which was 22 and then several of their parents - we served chicken/beef burritos and beans and rice on the bar and then had snacks all over...we put the desserts on the little bar and it worked out great...everyone was mostly hanging around the pool or in it and then down on the dock enjoying the beautiful weather and water...we never did find the keys to the boat - hahaha!!!! But we never felt crowded either - the flow of the house was perfect!!!! Thanks again - I am happy that your family felt that we took good care of your house, we treated it just like we would be at our own... Cathy

Dear Karen and Ed: I have to say, staying at your house in Cape Coral was better than staying at a five star hotel...never did find the butler though.... Having never used the internet as a way to rent a house, I was a little nervous about the whole procedure. But the way you and Ed handled the whole thing from start to finish, I have to say that I was more than happy with the whole experience and would be happy to use this way of renting again on another vacation. You have made the house warm and comfortable. One of the other ladies hair dryer went out and without you guys missing a skip, there was already a hair dryer under the sink for her to use and not just one hair dryer but I think one for every bathroom. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the evening with our snacks and wine/beer and sharing the day after watching our son's play in their college baseball tournament. The weather was absolutely perfect - the two couples from Ohio were thrilled to get away from the cold and even my husband and I were glad that the weather was warmer in Florida than in California. Thank you again for sharing your home...if 10 was the highest rating you could receive on your house, then I would rate it an 11!!!!! Cathy and Bill Jezierski El Cajon, California

Hi Ed & Karen, As we prepare for departure tomorrow, Joann and I would like to thank you for a wonderful 2 weeks. We have rented homes around the US for a number of years and must say you and Karen operate and maintain this home in superior fashion. Hopefully the future will be kind and bring us back.. Best Regards.....Joe, Joann, John and Kelly Smit. Dear Ed and Karen As we have just arrived home, I wanted to drop you a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our stay in your house. We have rented many houses in the area over the past few years and we all agreed that your house stands head and shoulders above all the others we have rented. So many lovely extra touches - we were all so sorry that we had to come back home. I honestely do not think that there is anything you could do to improve the house for vacation rental - it lacks nothing - you have thought of everything - even a tea kettle - that was something else we had to buy last time we came to Cape Coral! Please do not be concerned about the fourth bedroom - it suited us just fine. There was plenty of hanging space plus drawer space Many, many thanks once again. Janet Taylor (party of 10 from England) Hi Karen & Ed We recently stayed in your superb villa (week commencing 15th May) and just wanted to let you know what a wonderfully relaxing holiday we had. The location and amenities were first class and Dave really enjoyed fishing off the dock. Hope to contact you again shortly to arrange a booking for next year. Kind regards Linda & Dave Dawson
