We are two retired teachers who have been snowbirds for ten years. We stayed at Villa Lara with our two dogs February, March, and April 2013. We absolutely loved it! Kurt (the owner) has a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with a screened in pool and gas grill on his lanai. Everything that anyone would need is provided. An additional plus is having a wonderful property manager right next door. She was there for any questions we had. We highly recommend Villa Lara to anyone spending time in Cape Coral Fl!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Our stay at Villa Lara was an excellent experience. The house was fully equipped with everything you could possibly want while staying there. To our satisfaction this house was very clean and the pool area and outdoor dining area was very comfortable and great for outdoor dining.The location of the home was within minutes of numerous restaurants and shopping. We can't say enough good things about the Property Manager. She helped us in every way she could. She went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We will definitely return for another visit.

What a wonderful time we had staying at this lovely house. Upon arriving everything was clean and ready for us to start our vacation. The weather was perfect so we kept the sliding glass doors to the lanai open and we had a constant cool breeze all day (and night) because there were sliding glass doors in the master bedroom too. We never even had to turn the AC on! The part we loved most was being able to bring our Russian Wolfhound and he totally enjoyed being able to walk out the back door and lay around the pool and watch the ducks and birds diving into the waterway beyond the lanai. We enjoyed him being very safe inside the lanai that could be kept locked at all times. We also enjoyed the jacuzzi in the evening. There were just the two of us plus Boris. But, if we had others, the house was set up perfectly because the master bedroom was on the opposite side of the house from the other bedrooms. The girl who checks you in lives very close and was willing to help with any questions we had, which made it perfect. She even let me borrow some garlic salt! There are stores and restaurants very close by and the beach is about 30 minutes away. All of the neighbors were very friendly, we met many while walking Boris. There is a two car garage with a garage opener so we just pulled the car in the garage when we got home each day. There is a new washer and dryer to use and they had detergent but I took my own. We hope to go back again and we would recommend this house to anyone who wants a nice place to stay at a very reasonable price. FYI: We found a wonderful Homemade Ice Cream Store in Ft. Meyer's called Love Boat Ice Cream and it is worth a DAILY drive!! Back to Villa Lara, it was a perfect house for us and I hope it will be a perfect house for anyone who is looking for a wonderful place to stay in Cape Coral at a very reasonable price. We are sure you will enjoy it as much as we did!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My family stayed at the Villa Lara for 6 days and just loved it! It was a perfect location for us to travel to various places such as Sanibel/Captiva, Tampa, and even drove up to Orlando one day. The house was clean and spacious and had all of the accomodations one could ask for. The best thing of all was Property Management! All of our questions, needxs, etc. were addressed immediately. I have nothing but great things to say about our stay. We're looking forward to another trip next year. :-)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Our two week stay in " Villa Lara" in sunny Cape Coral was a wonderful vacation. The house has everything needed from the fully equipped Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Kitchen and living space. Our favorite place at the house was the fully screened pool and lanai area, very relaxing, having morning coffee, reading, and watching birds and otters in the canal. The location of Villa Lara is absolutely perfect, close to shopping and great restaurants and beaches. We did not want to go back up north to the cold weather. Wish we could have stayed all winter. We will be back. The owner and the agent are great. We highly recommend a stay at Villa Lara.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, sightseeing.

This was actually the perfect location to plan trips around the gulf coast. Naples, Fort Myers and Sanibel Island are not far away and good for a visit. Shopping and all the tips we got from information material in the house, made it easy to find good locations and spots to visit. The house is in a very good shape and there was actually nothing that we missed during our stay. The house fits very much for families traveling with 6 people. The video on youtube gives you a fair view about the amenities of the house. We enjoyed using the pool and the lanai, which is the perfect place to sit and rest during the evening. The service with check in and check out was perfectly arranged and we really didn´t miss anything . We can recommend this house to all friends and all other without any doubt. Thanks for the wonderful days in Cape Coral. OlafDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Hi, we stayed two great weeks in September 2010 in Villa Lara and really enjoyed it. We specially loved that the villa was equipped with household necessities like toilet paper, detergent, etc. Besides these uncommon things everything else is there and is in very good condition. We also liked the pool area with the spa. We could also use the garage for our rental car, very convenient when you think outside is above 90 degrees :) The location is well chosen, close the a lot of restaurants and grocery stores. If you are into boating and want to go out to the Gulf often, than you are a bit far off here. Other than that, all you need is here. You will get a beautiful sunrise just behind the pool. Two things that could be improved: the AC, as it was not possible to get the master bedroom as cool as the other rooms. The property manager reacted quickly and an AC service guy came, but he could do nothing. and secondly - but this is a real bonus ;) - the spa could be upgraded to a whirlpool. That would seriously make fun! All in all, we had a very good deal considering the autum-special price. Thanks and good luck for the future. Hope you all enjoy your vacation as we did! Best regards, DanielRecommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway.

Had a wonderful family vacation with children and grandchildren. House was everything advertised, clean and well maintained. The pool was great and the "Kid Safe" fence a blessing for small children. Canal was pleasant and yielded some fish for our four year old grandson. Terrific value for this area. Convenient to shopping and Ft. Myers attractions. Will not hesitate to recommend to anyone.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

A great place, perfect to relax! We enjoyed the pool w/ the adjacent spa - our kids loved it! Canal attracts lots of songbirds. Comfortable house is big enough to accommodate 2 couples and kids. Spacious, clean kitchen, plenty of shopping nearby. Great base for daytrips. All in all – Florida at its best!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Villa Lara is a very tidy house in a quiet part of Cape Coral, next to a freshwater canal. We were 6 people in our party and the house was big enough to accommodate us. There were all the things we needed for a relaxed holiday. The pool was perfect and could be heated at any time, even in the coldest winter days! The prop. management was near and very helpful. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property to a friend or relative. Thanks Lara for letting us stay in your beautiful house!Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with young children, romantic getaway.
