About this property

Cape Coral Southern Exposure Vacation Paradise Located On A Canal, Heated Pool

Come relax in the sunshine at Villa Celia; the perfect place to enjoy the warmth and serenity of Cape Coral!
This southern exposure waterfront home is on a quiet street. It is a three bedroom, two bath home with direct gulf access and located on a canal just 15 minutes from the river. It is completely furnished.
The home is conveniently located in a great residential neighborhood within short driving distance to beaches, golf courses, fishing, the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins training camps, grocery stores, restaurants, unique shops, Outlet Malls, downtown Fort Myers and the Southwest International Airport.
The main living area is an open floor plan. The fully-equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, an informal dining area, and is open to the formal dining and living room which opens directly to the lanai/pool area. A spacious family room with wine bar, TV and DVD is located just off the kitchen.

This was the best property I have rented in the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area. The amenities were top notch. It was quiet and peaceful. A great place to just relax. Beaches were within 20 minutes of the house. The pool was heated by solar power and was always at a comfortable temperature. Would highly recommend.

Winter getaway

We arrived to a clean and warmly inviting home. The owners made sure that we felt welcome. The pool is on a channel and southern facing so we had a lot of sunshine everyday. The neighborhood was quiet. We had a very relaxing stay.

Perfect vacation rental!

We just spent a month here and enjoyed it so much that we’re returning in December/18 for 3 months. This was a fully stocked, nicely furnished vacation rental with everything we needed during our stay. It’s exactly as the pictures show it to be. We felt very much at home while there! The location is perfect! It’s in a quiet residential area that’s close to stores and restaurants. Lilo, the property manager was wonderful to work with and made our booking and stay problem free.

Great place on canal

Our family spent a very enjoyable week at the Cape Coral home on the canal. We enjoyed swimming in the pool as the weather was perfect Thanksgiving week. We enjoyed going to Sanibel Captiva Island. Toured the Ford Edison home In Fort Myers and had a great day in Naples. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family. The kids really enjoy playing cards on the porch at night. Thx!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Bowes

Host profile image
Hi. I'm Laurie and welcome to our home! We have a policy to treat you like family and want you to have a great vacation. We all work hard to have that special time when we can get away and enjoy relaxing and going to new, exciting places. Cape Coral is situated in a unique and beautiful part of SW Florida and if you haven't been here before, you are in for a treat- and you'll probably want to come back again and again!

Why they chose this property

Villa Celia is a beautiful coastal one story home and includes a grand patio/lanai area with a heated pool. We want you to enjoy your stay and try to provide you with everything you need to make this an incredible vacation. We furnished the home so you can feel very comfortable. We added high-quality bedding, comfortable sofas and lots of seating space.
Some of the improvements through the years include:

In 2020 we upgraded the TVs, adding a large 65" big screen in the family room for all the Covid-19 stay-at-home binge watching opportunities!
In 2023 we replaced the roof, repainted the outside, replaced & upgraded the pool's solar and replaced & upgraded the patio enclosure.
In 2025 we replaced and upgraded all of the home's windows. We also replaced & upgraded the master mattress.
In 2026 we bought a new dishwasher and new washer & dryer.
As you can see, we are constantly improving to make sure the home is maintained and inviting.

What makes this property unique

Your access to everything is amazing! We are close to beaches, shopping, restaurants and we are just a 25-minute drive to the Southwest International Airport. If you find cheaper flights into the Tampa (2 hours), Ft Lauderdale (2.25 hours), Miami (2.5 hours), or Orlando (3 hours) airports, it is a beautiful drive to our home, so might be a great alternative. We love the Tampa airport in particular and the drive is beautiful- all along the coast.
