This home was amazing! We were a family of 9 and stayed 8 nights. John and Ashley have stocked this home with everything you need for cooking, having fun, relaxing, and much more. The pool was amazing and the kids loved going out in the kayaks. It's a beautiful home in a nice area and sunsets were so pretty.Thank you Ashley, we do hope to return in the future...

My family and I had wonderful stay at this property. The room was clean and comfortable, and everything I needed was already there. The kitchen was well stocked, which made meals easy, and the hot tub and pool were both fantastic — spotless, relaxing, and perfect after a long day. The scenery around the home was beautiful and added so much to the experience.The price was very good, especially for the off‑season summertime. Overall, this was a great place to stay, and I would definitely return.

This place was absolutely amazing. We stayed Dec19-24 and the house had everything my adult kids and us, in total 8 of us, could have wanted or asked for. We swam, fished, kayaked, got sun, etc. The host was so easy to talk to and andwered all of our questions very fast. Our family is truly grateful for the experience and can't wait to go back! I recommend this place to any family looking for a getaway!

5 Stars – Amazing Cape Coral Getaway!We stayed here while in town for a baseball tournament, and this home exceeded every expectation. Everything was truly first class from the moment we arrived. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we could possibly need for our stay.One of the biggest surprises was how well equipped the property was for an active family. The coolers and commercial ice machine were an absolute game changer for long tournament days. Having plenty of ice ready each morning made it so easy to keep drinks cold and pack up for the ball fields.The beds were incredibly comfortable, and everyone slept great after long days. The kitchen was fully stocked, the furnishings were high quality, and every detail seemed thoughtfully planned out.The real highlight, however, was the backyard and dock. The boys spent hours fishing and had an amazing time. We caught tarpon, sheepshead, and snook right off the dock using live shrimp under a bobber. The fishing was outstanding and created some unforgettable memories. Morning coffee and evening sunsets by the water were equally enjoyable.The pool area was beautiful, relaxing, and perfect for unwinding after games. The waterfront setting felt like a private resort, and the outdoor space was just as impressive as the inside of the home.The location was excellent, the neighborhood was quiet, and the hosts clearly take great pride in providing an exceptional guest experience.We have

Wonderful Christmas Getaway!

We enjoyed this house so much! We stayed over Christmas and it was the perfect getaway for our family. We spend a lot of time down by the canal fishing and relaxing. Would definitely stay again! The host was so wonderful- our flights home were delayed and she was so accommodating. You won’t regret this one!

Perfect Family Vacation Getaway !

We walked into Villa Francesca and were blown away by the decor, the pool and the view. I loved having my coffee by the pool in the morning and watching the sunset from the dock. We kayaked, rode bikes around the neighborhood and tried our hand at fishing. This was our 1st Vrbo, so we weren't sure what to expect. This exceeded all of our expectations so much that as we left for the airport, we were planning when we could book Villa Francesca again!

This beautiful vacation home rates a 10 all the way around! We had a very relaxing and memorable vacation. This amazing home was stocked with everything you would ever need or want. Plenty of room to move around and enjoy each other all at the same time. Ashley has put much thought into what you would need on vacation from a deck of cards to coolers, chairs and ice machine.

Awesome vacation spot!

Our stay was exceptional. The house was clean and very spacious, and accommodated our large family comfortably. It was just as pictured! The house was thoroughly equipped with essentials ranging from cooking utensils to towels, catering comprehensively to our beach trip needs. The family thoroughly enjoyed the pool and kayaks, ensuring entertainment for all children aged 2 to 16 without a dull moment. The location proved convenient, with proximity to stores and only a 30-minute drive to Fort Myers Beach. Furthermore, the host provided outstanding hospitality, remaining readily available for any assistance required. We can't wait to visit again!

Amazing resort style home in Cape Coral

This home has absolutely everything you will need to enjoy a vacation away from home! From the pool, to the outdoor lounge area, to the beautiful and welcoming inside, to the included perks of beach chairs, ice machine, coolers, pool floats, etc. You cannot go wrong here! We’ve stayed in many other homes in Florida and had to purchase all sorts of things we didn’t want to. Ashley made this vacation incredibly easy for us to enjoy without visiting the store multiple times. It was a great location for us to enjoy everything including our family and friends. We will most certainly be back!

My girlfriend and I had a five night stay at Villa Francesca. Our experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The property is even more beautiful in person than in the photos. The waterfront views are breathtaking, especially during sunrise and sunset, and the entire home feels like a private luxury resort.The pool and hot tub were perfectly maintained, relaxing, and surrounded by an amazing outdoor setup that made it hard to ever want to leave the house. Whether we were enjoying coffee by the water in the morning or unwinding in the hot tub at night, every moment felt peaceful and unforgettable.Inside, the villa was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Every room was comfortable and thoughtfully designed, with plenty of space for everyone to relax. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was both upscale and welcoming.The location was also perfect quiet, private, and ideal for a true getaway while still being close enough to restaurants, shopping, and activities when we wanted them.Most importantly, the host was fantastic. Communication was quick, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process, making check-in and our stay completely stress-free.If you are considering booking this stay do not hesitate. This was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in, and we are already talking about coming back. Highly recommend

This property is wonderful, just as pictured. The beds are comfortable, the view is amazing and we all had a great time. We loved the pool and hot tub and enjoyed them every day. We even took the kayaks out! The highlight was fishing...they have poles in the garage but we brought our own. We fished every day and each person caught atleast 5 fish, of all different sizes. We frequently stay in Cape Coral and it was the best fishing experience we've had. It is a nice, quiet neighborhood with stores and restaurants nearby...we highly recommended the lobster lady for fresh seafood. We had a nice, relaxing stay at the property and would gladly come back again. Thanks Ashley and John!

We had such a fun and relaxing time enjoying this beautiful vacation home. The interior and exterior are immaculate and just as pictured. The owners of this property are very attentive to every little detail making this a true home away from home. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with all the essentials. The master bathroom was amazing and has a spa like feel boasting a Hugh walk-in shower equipped with spray heads from every angle. The pool and spa was a favorite of ours, very warm to enjoy both day and night. The dock at sunrise was the perfect spot to enjoy my morning coffee. The canals are very quite and relaxing if you just want to sit and take in the views or go fishing and kayaking. We truly enjoyed this home and can’t wait to go back!!

Our Relaxing Week in Cape Coral

Our goal in renting this property was to have a relaxing and fun week enjoying the property and nearby area. This property is not a typical vacation property. It actually felt more like home. The owners are so attentive to all of the details which make the house feel like a home. Highlights: the pool, coffee on the dock at sunrise, and the Master rain head shower. Unlike many vacation properties, the home was well furnished with beautiful new furniture. The Kitchen was stocked with most anything you could ever need and more. It was a great location.

Perfect Getaway

This house could not have been any better for my family. The open layout is perfect especially with small ones to watch everyone. Everything you need is provided for you plus more. You really don't even have to leave as there was fishing, swimming, biking and kayaking to keep everyone entertained. Upon arrival there was one issue with a hinge on the bedroom door that was missing a screw but the owners quick response and the professional handyman that was sent out asap made it no problem at all because we all know things happen. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone!!!

Villa Francesca was absolutely wonderful! Perfect location and layout with 2 bedrooms on each side of main kitchen and living space. Very clean, fresh, bright, great amenities and decor. High quality furnishings, appliances, serving dishes - very well thought out and cool lighting. The pool, spa, deck and dock with tiki bar gave us so many spaces to enjoy together and watch the sunrise and sunset or play cards and bags. Great privacy with neighboring homes.

About the host

Hosted by Ashley

Host profile image
We live in New Jersey and we have been vacationing in southwest Florida for the past 14 years. After renting many vacation homes on Florida’s southwest coast, we fell in love with all that Cape Coral has to offer and quickly realized that the Cape has brought us the most memorable of all vacation experiences.

Why they chose this property

After vacationing with our family for the many years, we quickly learned the necessities of a perfect vacation home. In September of 2023 we purchased this slice of paradise, that we named Villa Francesca. This Southwest, 4 bedroom, 3 bath home, was renovated in the Fall of 2023, to meet all of your vacation needs. You will find Villa Francesca surrounded by beautiful palm trees nestled in a fabulous, family friendly, quiet neighborhood. This home also sits on a gulf access canal for all of the boaters. Villa Francesca is only 1.9 miles to many spectacular restaurants, bakeries, groceries stores and delicious ice cream shoppes and shopping. If you chose not to explore the Cape Coral you are sure to enjoy this home by relaxing at the outside lanai that overlooks the pool, tiki hut and gulf access canal. It is our hope that you and your family will create many wonderful memories at Villa Francesca.

What makes this property unique

Cape Coral is so much more than just a vacation. Cape Coral is a place where you feel at home, enjoying spectacular weather while relaxing in paradise. In the Cape you will find countless casual and fine dining restaurants, boating, fishing, water activities and close proximity too many incredible beaches. Cape Coral also offers four natural ecological preserves to quench your thirst if looking for a natural setting to visit and stroll. The Cape has countless shopping plazas and is in close proximity to several malls and outlets centers.
