Villa Makani has everything needed for your stay in Cape Coral. Enjoy nightly barbecues on the covered lanai. The lanai adjoins your private screened pool where you can swim in water set to the perfect temperature. The large, quiet, canal behind the property is your view from the pool area.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes, Southeast
In 2008, we vacationed in Cape Coral and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and dinner by the pool. When we had the opportunity to buy a vacation rental, Cape Coral seemed like the perfect location. The tropical climate reminded us of Hawaii, but it is more accessible from Pennsylvania.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our house is less than a mile from shopping and restaurants, yet with property bordering the canal, and a pool just outside, our house is perfect for relaxing.
We enjoy the 60” TV and surround-sound stereo system. My husband and I both depend on the Internet, and benefit from the wireless Internet access.
Our house is less than ½ hour from the Ft. Myers airport.
At 365 acres, Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve is the second largest preserved green space in Cape Coral. Located just north of Veteran's Parkway, Four Mile Cove / “Eco Park” is a brackish water wet

My husband grew up in Pennsylvania and I lived on Long Island; we live in Pennsylvania now. He works in information technology and I am a nurse. We both like to read. We enjoy being near water while on vacation.

Our week stay at Villa Makani was great! Everything about the home met or exceeded our expectations! Although we didn't spend much time inside the house, it was VERY clean, compfortable and beautifully decorated, with more than enough supplies. The pool & Lanai area got the most use since the weather that week was absolutely beautiful. We have already recommended Villa Makani to friends and family. We would definately rent this home again if we were not relocating to CC in the spring. Lynne was also the most helpful owner you could ask for. She provided us all the info we needed to help us with our stay & relocation.
Owner response:Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and thank you for being our guests at Villa Makani. It sounds as if you found a home during your stay. Congratulations, and I wish you all the best as you continue enjoying Cape Coral!

It's strange to start a review with "It's a shame", but, It's a shame that all the guests who raved about Villa Makani in the Guest Book didn't think to make their views public. Some comments: "....enjoyed it fully...", "...beautiful home...", "....your lovely home was perfect for our needs...", "....the house is absolutely perfect...." We can only support everyone else's view. This was a home from home, beautifully decorated and presented, and absolutely spotlessly clean. Our thanks to the Edwards for their obvious care and attention, and I hope that we cared for it as well as they do!
Owner response:It is always appreciated when guests take the time to write a review, or provide feedback, about their visit. It lets me know what I'm doing right, and/or what I might do better. Thank you for being excellent guests, and if you visit Cape Coral in the future, I hope you will make Villa Makani your home-away-from-home.

This home was exactly as beautiful as the photos show. It was very tastefully decorated and comfortable. The beds were great and all 4 couples found them to be very comfortable. There were lots of towels and lots of dishes etc. The property was clean and well maintained. We were able to eat all our meals on the screened-in lanai and enjoyed the pool as well. The neighbourhood was nice and quiet. I would recommend this property.
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your visit to Villa Makani, and for your thoughtful comments. It is helpful to receive feedback from our guests, whether it is good or bad. (But, of course, I am always happy to know that our guests have enjoyed their visit.) I hope that if you visit Cape Coral in the future, you will again stay at Villa Makani.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
