Photos and Description of the Cape Coral vacation house rental
Step out your back door to explore Cape Coral's beautiful waterways

If you are looking for a Cape Coral, Florida rental where you can drop your bags at the door and just say 'Ah', Villa Foster is the vacation home for you. Restful. Sunny. Cape Coral, Florida! The west-facing, electrically heated swimming pool with its spacious pool deck and lanai. Taking boat rides on the Hurricane Fun Deck 201. The quiet neighborhood. Reading or using the high-speed wireless internet under the fan on the lanai. The local, attentive management keeps everything running smooth. The comfort and ease of staying at Villa Foster makes your vacation perfect.

The Boat: The property's Hurricane Fun Deck 201 is perfect for cruising the canals, spending a day on the river or visiting one of the many beaches nearby. With canal access from the home's private boat dock, you can reach the Caloosahatchee River in just one minute and the Gulf of Mexico in just over 30 minutes. And there is nothing to compare with boating to one of the nearby restaurants or marinas for lunch or diner - some as close as 20 minutes away. Comfortable seating for six, this is a great boat for cruising local waters or catching fish for your dinner. Designed exclusively for a single engine - with the Yamaha 115 hp, this boat truly does it all.

The Pool: Nothing about the specifications of our pool can convey how much FUN it is. But I’ll start with the specifications anyhow:

-Our pool is 14 feet by 32 feet (approximately 4.6 meters by 10.3 meters).

-It has an electric heater and thermal pool cover for use during the cooler months (mid-November to mid-April).

-It faces west for maximum sun exposure and great sunsets. (As you look at Cape Coral, Florida rentals make sure you ask which direction the pool faces! You will be VERY unhappy with a north or east facing pool which would be in shadow most of the day.)

Hmmm . . . everything about having a pool in the back yard seems self-evident to me now . . . but I remember how shockingly great it was during our first visit. I couldn’t get over the fun of going swimming before breakfast. My boys LIVED in the pool when we weren’t out on the boat. It was fabulous. They were exhausted at the end of every day then woke up asking for the pool again first thing the next morning.

Miscellaneous: FISHING:

There are a couple of poles and some fishing tackle at the Villa Foster for the use of our guests. You can even catch fish right off of the back dock if you like. If you are more serious about the sport, you should bring your own gear and ask our check out captain for guidance, because there is some great fishing to be had in Cape Coral.

GETTING AROUND IN CAPE CORAL:

A rental car is recommended. Cape Coral is the largest city in Florida (land wise) and has over 400 miles of canals. This means that getting around on foot or by bike is not practical.

AREA AIRPORTS:

The closest airport is the Fort Myers airport (airport code RSW). This is approximately 30 minutes away from Villa Foster. Other Florida airports our guests have used include Tampa (TPA), Miami (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL). One word of caution, if you rent a car from the Miami airport, get detailed directions on how to return it as the signage for rental car returns is MISERABLE.

I would like to tell you why my family loves Cape Coral, Florida. Simply put, it’s a boater’s paradise and we love the water. While the convenience of a boat behind this vacation rental cannot be minimized – just living on the water is a pleasure. There is nothing like looking out any rear-facing door or window onto the beautiful, peaceful canal. From the moment you wake up to when you go to bed at night, the tranquility of the water and sun is an experience beyond compare. Of course, the fun of going to lunch by boat shouldn’t be minimized. Docking the boat and walking into one of the many restaurants or bars is a conveniently special treat. We enjoy boating to Cape Coral Beach, Ft. Myers Beach and the beaches of Sanibel. We also spend a great deal of time fishing off the dock and from the boat in the calm waters of the Caloosahatchie River. If you enjoy activities on the water, this is the place for you!

Other Activities: The property has two adult bicycles.

The door to the garden is a pocket slider that I love to leave open for great airflow in the cooler months. The commode and shower in the master bath are separated from the main bath by a door for privacy. The double vanity provides plenty or room for two to get ready at the same time. There’s even a bench under the vanity if you prefer to sit down while you do your make-up. The walk-in closet is separated from the vanity area by accordion doors. The cabana bath opens onto the pool deck and is in the hall just outside the other two bedrooms, near the kitchen. The shower and commode area in this bathroom open to the outside and is separated from the vanity area by a door. This offers swimmers convenient access to the shower or commode even while another person is getting ready in the vanity area.

There is a walk-in closet in the attached master bath. Opposite the master bath, double glass doors disappear on a special track when opened onto the pool deck. This gives the room a wide open feel. If so inclined, please feel free to sleep with these doors open – the sounds of the canal are so soothing. Just make sure to take note of when the pool cleaner is scheduled to come to do the by to do the weekly maintenance so that you are not taken by surprise. The day of this important service is noted in our “Guest Reference Book”. Across the living area are two more good-sized bedrooms. One bedroom has a queen-sized bed, TV, dresser, side chair and oversize closet. The other bedroom has two twin beds, children’s books, a dresser and a closet.

It was just PERFECT!

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 1, 2012
  • Stayed: Jan 2012
Having holidayed in Florida for several years, you become accustomed to the 'over-description' of homes which, inevitably, are not what you expected when you open the door.

But with Villa Foster - well, it was just perfect; in fact, we would go so far as to say it was 'vastly under-described'! Everything about the home was what you would expect if YOU owned it. Everything you could possibly need was provided - yes, even down to Kitchen Towels and Dishwasher tablets etc. This was a 'First' for us in any Florida rental home.

The moment you opened the front door the house was welcoming; everything was well laid-out and spotlessly clean. The master bedroom was ideal and the master bathroom enormous.

Many days we never ventured out from the house. We were happy to sit by the pool, doing absolutely nothing and watching the world pass by overlooking the canal.

When you did go travelling, everything that you wanted was close-by; Publix & Wallmart within 2 miles and loads of restaurants within 1 mile along Del Prado Ave. We found a Sunday Market for the weekly vegetables - go there, its great. Down Del Prado heading south. At the junction of the bridge (by the Wells Fargo Bank) take a right and go a couple of blocks (3/4 mile or so) and its on the right.

The boat. What can we say? Its a nice clean idea craft for use whilst you are on holiday. OK, its not the newest of crafts - but what do you expect? Its idea for travelling through the miles of canals looking at how the other-half lives and its safe enough to take out into the river. One note of comment; when you get the instruction from Capt Ron ask for 3-4 lessons on DOCKING. Its SO difficult and yet looks so easy.

The communication from owner Dino was faultless; he really did provide a perfect service.

Would we recommend Villa Foster? YES, without any restrictions whatsoever. Don't bother looking at any other rental properties - book Villa Foster because nowhere can match it within the price range.
Owner's Response: Thank you George for your visit and your review. ---

Since taking over Villa Foster about a year and a half ago, I've tried to make the home a place that my wife and I would like to visit over and over again, in the hope that my guests will have a great time, feel comfortable, and want to return. The Villa Foster transformation will finally be completed by the end of April - 2012 with brand new stainless steel appliances to go along with with all of the other upgrades that we've already made. After that some new pictures will be in order for my web site and my listiungs.

Thanks again,
Dino Constantinou / Owner

Home away from home

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jan 7, 2012
  • Stayed: Mar 2011
The house is awesome, extremely well furnished with everything you would want to call it a home. Great neighborhood, very private but close to food, shopping and restaurants.

Our granddaughter (age 3) loved Papa's cottage and pool and can't wait to go there on vacation again (along with the rest of us). Pool and patio are so relaxing.

Having the boat was such a bonus. Did lots of fishing, island hopping and going out to lunch thanks to Capt. Ron's local knowledge and the charts for all the great spots to visit on the water.

We would definitely recommend this villa for a great vacation - there is something for everyone no matter what your age.

....there remains a touch of Paradise here

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Dec 31, 2010
  • Stayed: Dec 2010
Looking for a touch of Paradise in a peaceful setting? Look no further than Villafoster! From the moment we arrived the wow factor told us we had picked well.....and that was before getting to the pool, the waterfront or the boat.

From the point we finished our extensive research and got in touch with Dino the help and information provided perfectly matched our needs but still left the Villa to wow us beyond expectation.
For peace, quiet and total relaxation there can be no better place....for a little adventure and excitement get out on the friendly waters of the Caloosahatchee and the bays....for those not thinking of getting a villa with a boat - you MUST have a rethink! For those for whom the thought gives a little apprehension - worry not. Dino provides Capt. Ron whose marine & local area expertise are second to none.
Yes the area provides vast choice - we (for one) WILL be getting back to Villafoster AND as soon as we possibly can and are already looking at deals for Sept 11!
Each time one returns from a great day out in the car or boat the wow factor returns....from the ease of the remote access via the garage electric doors or the ease of return to the boat lift. Either way it's so easy to slip into the pool.

And easier still to slip into what must be close to heaven!

Lunch by boat at a local restaurant or a picnic on an island amongst playful dolphins are an experience we should should have - REPEATEDLY!!

Can't wait to be there again

Great week at Villa Foster 04/09. The villa has everything you will need and is centrally located. When swimming in the pool or enjoying the lanai it feels removed from everything. The pool and dock are prettier than the pictures. Nice views and lanscaping. Lots of flora and fauna. Got some great pictures . Captain Sal was great, very professional, looked out for us on the water, good sense of humor. We learned a lo t from him. Went to Sanibel twice, great shelling. Would recommend this villa to everyone, owner very helpful, villa clean, neighborhood quiet.

Perfect Family Vacation

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 28, 2009
  • Stayed: May 2009
My family and I returned on May 26th from Villa Foster and our vacation was perfect...The home is lovely, fully stocked, right on the canal, and so very private and relaxing! It was perfect for our two boys (ages 5 and 6) and we will definitely be back. Vicki and David were so kind and everyone needs a CPT Sal (he looked out for us regarding the boat and anything water related, answering all of our questions of where and how)!

Having the boat right there was the crowning jewel of the entire vacation but the ammenities and comforts of home cannot be beat! Offering an extremely reasonable price for our family vacation, Villa Foster is your BEST bet for your next vacation..
