VILLA PALMARES is a very private gulf access home in South West Cape Coral, with an electrically heated pool, nestled within lushly landscaped grounds. The home is in a very quiet mature neighborhood, well away from the Boulevards and Parkways. There are 4 well-appointed bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (1 Master suite, 1 guest). The spacious living area consists of 2 separate living rooms, one of which features a games room to provide entertainment for all the family. The home is equipped with High Speed Wireless Internet, so bring your Laptop.
The home has a spacious and airy feel, accented with modern tropical style décor. The first living area is equipped with a regulation standard pool table and leather sofa. This room leads onto the open plan kitchen and overlooks the formal dining area, main family room with large TV with Sports Package and ultimately, the private screened pool area and personal boat dock with lift.
Featuring 4 bedrooms, the Master Bedroom comes complete with king size bed, plasma cable TV and private Master Shower-room. The Master Shower-room has the added bonus of a pool door giving access to the screened pool area. A further 2 guest bedrooms feature a queen size bed each. The fourth guest bedroom has been very comfortably furnished with 2 full beds and plasma TV with cable, therefore ensuring every bedroom is a luxuriously comfortable retreat for guests.
Stepping outside of the family room and formal dining area through the glass sliding doors, guests can enjoy the spacious deck area with sparkling electrically heated pool for the winter months (or solar panel heated in summer). The Pool Area has a Child Fence Installed for protection of young children. There is outdoor seating for 6 guests to enjoy alfresco dining. With outdoor waterfront living and relaxation so high on the priority list in sunny Cape Coral, the home is also equipped with a gas barbecue. The lushly landscaped grounds are the finishing touch to your own piece of paradise that Florida is famous for and provides privacy and a feeling of tropical tranquility.
The City of Cape Coral is a Gulf Coast town in the sunshine, famous for being on water. In fact almost every street is on water and Cape Coral has a larger amount of canals and waterways than the City of Venice in Italy. With water being such a focal part of the community, Cape Coral is a very popular choice with fishermen and boaters alike. Villa Palmares is situated on one of the many popular gulf access canals that the Cape is famous for, the canals are teeming with fish such as snook and even the most novice of anglers should enjoy some success. With boating such a popular pastime with residents, boat hire is readily available - the hire companies can deliver the boat to the Villa, which has a Dock and Electrically Powered Lift on the canal at the rear - so you can explore the many beautiful islands, restaurants and beaches only accessible from the water.
A short distance away are the famous beaches of Fort Myers Beach and the tropical barrier islands of Sanibel and Captiva. These barrier islands are particularly famous the world over for the fine shelling and Nature Reserve of Ding Darling. Also along the shoreline is the state park of Lover's Key, rated in the Top 10 Beaches in the US on the Travel Channel. Cape Coral has both tennis clubs and golf courses within easy reach of the villa, including the championship Royal Tee Golf Course. Nearby Fort Myers and Naples have earned the reputation of having some of the most sought after public and private golf courses in the world. The Cape Coral area is a shoppers' paradise from designer boutiques in Bell Tower to large department stores in Coconut Point Mall. Miromar Outlets with over 140 designer and brand names is a short drive away.
Villa Palmares is a wonderful choice for guests seeking a luxuriously appointed modern residence offering privacy and a popular south west Cape location.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Southwest
Cape Coral, Southwest Florida is just the best vacation location for year-round weather and amenities, we love boating, fishing and waterskiing, nowhere else gives all this. We searched for a location / property in Europe, but there is nowhere else on the planet that provides all of the above quite like Cape Coral. Additionally, we just love how things are done in the US.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Airport, shops, golf courses, restaurants and gulf access are all within easy reach, yet our home is in a very quiet and mature area, well away from the parkways and boulevards. It is just ideal, and we absolutely love it.
We are looking forward to spending our winter months there when we retire, around the year 2025 :~)

Hi Mike Well, we have nearly been home a week now and we just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had in your beautiful villa which is situated in the delightful area of Cape Coral. There was loads of space for us all to "do our own thing" plus the use of the pool table when we had "family" time. Sitting under the lanai was so peaceful and quiet until the "younger" ones wanted to play in the pool. Thanks to Keely for ringing to make sure everything was alright and for responding to our needs quickly - very much appreciated. I would also add how well you cater for your house guests with plenty of crockery/cutlery/towels. We miss the "leap" into our beds now we have returned home. Once again, many thanks for allowing us to stay in your home. Dave & Deborah W...

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Villa Palmares. We rented for three weeks - wished we had rented for the whole month of May. The home is well appointed and met our expectations. Would definitely stay at the Villa again. All the amenities were excellent - including the pool that we used daily.

Villa Palmares Cape Coral Review submitted: August 8, 2011 Date of arrival: July 23, 2011 Departed August 5th 2011 Villa Palmares is a good home located in a quiet and private residential area. The home is very well equipped with everything you need for a very relaxing holiday. The Kitchen is well laid out and all the bedrooms are comfortable with plenty of storage. The swimming pool is a good size and is very clean and well maintained. The homeowners have given a lot of thought for comfort and cleanliness and the description given was very accurate. The pool table is a definite bonus and provides a really good alternative to watching TV. A car is essential and there are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets available - if you like a good steak we would strongly recommend Del Prado Steak House on Del Prado Blvd. You need to be prepared to do a fair amount of driving and if you enjoy shopping there are quite a few shopping outlet centers available and we would recommend Miramar which was about a 30-45 minute drive from the villa. A sat nav is strongly recommended as you can just type in the address and it takes you to the desired location with ease. We flew into Miami International airport and then traveled to Cape Coral. Although the journey from the airport to Cape Coral takes between 2-3 hours the roads are very good and driving isn't a problem - the sat nav also helps you get into and out of the airport! Sanibel Island is worth a visit and has some really good beaches. We also took a half day fishing trip with Capt Tony and although they crammed in as many rods as possible it was still a good day out. The information pack in the home is very useful and has some really good suggestions on what to do, where to go and where to eat. Overall we had a brilliant time at Villa Palmares and Cape Coral and wished we could have stayed for longer. The people are all very friendly and go out of their way to help you. We definitely recommend that you should strongly consider this home and location if you are thinking about going to SW Florida/The Gulf Coast. Recommended for: age 55+, families with teenagers

What a beautiful home! Accurately described with everything you need! We had a wonderful stay and the only thing that we needed was a few more days of vacation! Clean, well stocked with every need and much much more. The best VRBO rental in the 6 years we have been vacationing. Great accomodations, we hope that the property is available for next year!

Our stay in Villa Palmares was really great in spite of the weather. The house was inmaculate. Excellent equipment. The pool heated waiting for us. The neighbourhood is very quiet. There were supermarkets a very short distance by car. We rented a boat but the lift was not free, so we had to leave the boat by the dock. I highly recommend this property
Owner response:Dear Carola, I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at Villa Palmares, and many thanks for your kind review. I do appreciate it, and we hope to see you or your recommended friends and family return to Villa Palmares. Any of my valued guests staying in our home Villa Palmares, wishing to rent a boat and dock it on my lift, please do tell me, or my property manager (Neil or Keely at Churchill properties) in advance, or when you arrive, we will speedily and easily move the existing boat to another dock, absolutely no trouble at all. Kind Regards Mike

Villa Palmares Review submitted: January 10, 2011 Date of arrival: December 20, 2010 We have just returned from a Christmas vacation at Villa Palmares! What a beautiful vacation home! Lots of space for all seven of us. Pool was heated and ready for our arrival. Home was immaculate and very well-equipped with towels, linens, kitchen items, BBQ and even toys for the pool! Home is located in a beautiful, quiet residential area that is perfect for walking. Cape Coral is a short distance from Fort Myers beach where we enjoyed the powder-white sand! The property management team called us immediately upon our arrival to ensure everything was in order and made it quite clear that we were to call at anytime should we need anything. Villa Palmares truly is a home away from home and we hope to return again!! Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, pet-friendly
