The house was clean and well maintained. The heated pool was relaxing after a day at the beach.Great communication with the owner.I recommend this property to anyone traveling to Cape Coral area.
The check in process and initial communication was a little flawed; but rapidly corrected. Everything else was wonderful. The house was beautiful with a wonderful layout, well stocked in the kitchen. Beautiful indoors and out. Owners were responsive throughout (could do basics like release for kayaks and bikes prior to check in or let guests know that in advance); but they did respond quickly about those things. The house itself and grounds made for a wonderful family spring break.
This was an outstanding place to stay everything was first class. Clean and every detail was thought out for our stay. I would recommend this place to anyone wishing to get away and not have worry about any details. Every thing was provided for the stay. And the outdoor facilities were second to none. Only problem was we had to leave the small piece of paradise. I highly recommend.
We just spent a month at this beautiful home and loved it!! Very comfortable inside and out..the pool was awesome and my husband fished everyday.
Neighborhood is very quiet and close to plenty of restaurants and grocery stores.
Would highly recommend and hope we can get back there sometime soon!!
This home was a great value. It was so nice to have room for everyone. The grandkids used the pool every day. Mark is a very responsive owner. We would stay here again for sure!
We enjoyed our stay for the month of February 2024, conveniently located, well maintained home, really enjoyed the pool once the weather cooperated. Would definitely love to come back. Much to do in Cape Coral, lots of fun, tasty restaurants. Mark was very responsive to us, would recommend. Bob and Donna
We had a wonderful time! The neighbors next to the house were very sweet and friendly. The house is located to easy drives to beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The pool was clean and there is a TV outside to use while swimming. The pool bathroom was convenient. Overall the house was great we enjoyed our stay.
Very nice home with quick access to open water. We rented a boat for 5 days while we were here and it was 15-20 minutes to open water. We went to Sanibel Island and Ft Myers areas as well as driving through the many canals.
The kids loved the pool and it was a nice neighborhood to take morning walks. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed here last year and loved it so much we had to come back again this year. The house is beautiful inside and out. It has everything you need and more. My husband and I enjoyed drinking our morning coffee out on the boat dock, watching the water and wildlife. It's beautiful and so peaceful. The kids absolutely loved the color changing lights in the pool this year. They thought it was the coolest thing ever. The neighborhood is super quiet. We will definitely rent again. It's a wonderful home away from home. Thank you again Mark and Debbie.
We had a 5-week stay during which we encountered some issues. Dryer broke and was replaced in 5 days. Garage door broke and repair was not completed properly because door would go up with remote but not down. Replaced batteries but didn’t help. New induction stove/oven which was great but no instructions on how to use. No instructions provided by owner for operation of TV’s and accessing local/streaming channels. Owner was nice. For longterm guests kitchen cupboards had to be rearranged to make room for groceries. Bedroom closet shelves full of extra bedding so not accessible for use.. We made do and enjoyed our stay in spite of these issues.
We had a wonderful vacation, The house had everything that you need and more. The neighborhood was very quiet, and the neighbors next door were super sweet. The pool was very nice and clean and the TV outside was nice to watch at night after a long day at the beach. The house also has a few bikes and kayaks for you to use, even thought we didn't get a chance to use them. We were busy with other things this vacation, but it was nice to know we had them already at the house so we didn't have to being ours. Overall the house was perfect for our family vacation. A must rent!! We will stay again in the future. Thanks again Mark and Debbie for sharing your lovely home with us.
In 2020 my son and his girlfriend had already booked the Villa Katharina, but because of Covid, they could nott go. The owner was very nice and understanding and let them cancel their reservation. This time we booked the villa for the family. We had a great stay and really enjoyed our time in Cape Coral. The location is perfect. Some of the furniture is a bit run down. Also some dishes were chipped, the bed linens had holes and the towels were shabby. The kitchen could also need some more dishes, just barely a minimum is provided. Despite these complaints, we really enjoyed our stay at the villa. Silvia, the manager, was always very helpful and we were even allowed to stay a bit longer at the house, which was wonderful because we had a late flight.

Last time Caper Coral
We inherited a number of issues with the property. although we knew half the lanai screens were gone, wew were told by the owner they would be fixed "after" we left. the screen repair company showed up and took almost a week to replace the screens.
The shower in the lania bathroom leaked and was never repaired. In general,, the communication was poor at best.

Wouldn’t stay again
The house has curb appeal and the pool is nice. But, the house is very sparsely furnished with dishes and amenities. The appliances are old. The ice maker wasn’t working even tho the property manger said it was fixed. The oven didn’t work, leaving us with foods we couldn’t fix. The owner is from Germany so all monies you have to pay are assessed a foreign exchange fee, which added an additional $50 overall. When checking in, we found moldy foods in the cupboards and a dirty grill even tho the check in sheet stated we’d be charged for leaving the grill dirty. We’ve rented many homes and condos over the last 12/15 years, this was not worth the money. Beware of an extra electric charge too!!
My family and I had an amazing 10 days.
We needed for needed for nothing.
Amazing pool with inflatables. Bikes for riding around the neighbourhood. Kayaks to paddle the canals in search of Dolphins.
Had a BBQ every day either for breakfast or Dinner. Close to all amenities. 10 minutes to the beach and 45 minutes to Sanibel Island.
The owner was super helpful with some great advice.
I could not recommend the property highly enough.
This home felt like HOME. It had everything we could ever possibly need! Blowup mattress, extra towels, plenty of room, things one could use for the beach…the list goes on! Not to mention…LOCATION! Close to everything you may need to grab from the store, to something to eat, to the quick drive to Fort Myer’s Beach! It was simply perfect for our family.
The property was very clean and great communication on behalf of both the owner and property management team. Our daughter locked us out of the outdoor bath room and the owner was vey responsive and had the keys sent to us next day. There are several quality beach chairs, toys umbrella and as well as bicycles and kayaks. We are a family of 6 with two teens and two pre-teens and it was a little small for us but would be perfect for a younger family or fewer family members.
House was great. Thoughtfully equipped with convince things blender, hair dryer, coffee maker. Even a couple of fishing rods. Really had. A great time. Pool temp was spot on. They are usually too cool.
Overall this was exactly what we thought it would be. Yes very clean but there were there past checking time. We had to wait to get in. Communication on anything was good no issues there. Although it does state condition for propane, it was very disappointing that it ran out during our bbQing. We don’t feel it should be the renters responsibility to get the refill. Credit was not appealing for us.
Nice weather, so we could enjoy the beautiful pool every day. Everything was in good working order, but never did get accustomed to the "nest" thermostat. We enjoyed our stay and were appreciative of Mark's responsiveness to our questions and concerns.
The house was very nice the pool heater was awesome. The house was well supplied and the beds were comfortable enjoyed using the bicycles as well as walking through the community in the evenings.

About the host
Hosted by Mark Reinhold
My wife and & I are from the Philadelphia area. Several years ago, I had a business trip to the Fort Myers area and we decided to extend the trip and have a mini vacation afterwards. We immediately fell in love with the area and returned year after year. We began staying in VRBO properties because of all of the advantages: privacy, space, amenities, safety, convenience and price so we decieded to buy in Cape Coral.
Why they chose this property
We engaged a realtor and tasked them with a very specific selection criteria. We required a minimum 1750 sq-ft, 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home with an open-modern floor plan, a pool with enclosed lanai. It had to have gulf access because when I eventually retire here, I plan on acquiring a boat. We wanted a property that met all of the latest Florida building codes and a home that was already a VRBO home because we knew it would be well maintained, furnished and already had an established following as a rental property. Finally, it had to be in a quiet family-oriented neighborhood but also convenient to shopping, restaurants and activities. When we found Villa Katerina, we knew we had found "The One". The house had been on the market less than one day and already had five offers. We were told we would have one opportunity to bid on the house and we went in with an offer 5% over asking. You can't imagine our disappointment when we were informed, we were outbid by one other offer. This was the first property in months of searching that net all of our criteria. We continued searching but never found "The One" again until we got a call from our realtor informing us that it was about to be relisted and were, we still interested. We immediately said yes and 30 days later Villa Katerina was ours and now she can also be yours.
