Villa Summer Dream incl. Boat, facing south, a short waterway to river

My husband and I looked endlessly for the perfect home to spend two weeks in Florida that accepted large dogs. I finally saw this one. It fit all of our requirements, but it was a German based company and their main office is in Germany. I was a bit worried, since all correspondence was done by e-mail and all amounts and payments were done in Euros. No fears! I have never dealt with a more professional and attentive company. E-mails and questions were answered promptly and paperwork was hassle free. Customer service was #1 on both sides of the Atlantic!

When we arrived at this gorgeous home, we were greeted by wonderful Sigi from the home management company. She toured the house with us and gave us a lot of useful information about the area. If we had any questions during the stay, all it took was a phone call and she happily answered.

The house was absolutely stunning and spotlessly clean-as was the gorgeous pool and lanai. The house was excellently maintained both inside and out-with the pool and grounds attended to each week. The amenities were endless and anything necessary for a luxurious stay was available in the house from terry robes and beach towels to every kitchen gadget imaginable-we never wanted to leave!

The house was centrally located and made access to Sanibel-Captiva, Ft. Meyers and many other surrounding locations easy. It was surrounded by palm trees and exotic plants-so you really felt like you were in tropical Florida, but near enough to shopping, great restaurants etc. to not make excursions seem like they were too far away.

A boat came free of charge with the house.. It was large and lovely. Captain Peter came the day after we arrived to give my husband instructions on it's operation. He was great and was also available any time for any questions. During the time of year we were there, high tide was late in the afternoon, so we had to wait for the water to be high enough to go out on it. Next time, we'll make sure we are there when the tide comes in earlier!

I would recommend this property and the company that runs it to anyone. Do yourself a favor-rent this home and spend some time in paradise!
