Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ave Maria

Stayed for 5 nights with husband, 2 kids ages 11 and 12 along with Grandparents for a relaxing Spring Break getaway. The house was beautiful. Kitchen contained everything needed to make meals. Was great to have a washer and dryer. House is located close to beach and shopping. The highlight for us was the hours spent in beautiful backyard. The spa and pool were amazing! There is a covered area by pool where we ate many meals and played card games. Eric was very responsive whenever we had had a question.

We loved the house and how peaceful the neighborhood is. Great location near many restaurants and shopping, but still had a quiet stay. I would recommend having a rental car. The house was very clean and pictures are accurate. We enjoyed the lanai with comfortable seating, pool and hot tub. I would stay here again.

We had an incredible week in this lovely, inviting, relaxing slice of paradise!! Responsive and friendly hosts, lovely landscaping, private lanai with nice chaise lounge chairs and waterfall hot tub and pool! We were outside enjoying it every day. Comfortable sitting areas, beds, kitchen was stocked with all the dishes and pans we needed to make several meals. Location was great for walks. It exceeded expectations each day! Look forward to returning someday! Thanks again Connie and Dale!!

We enjoyed staying at Justin and Lisana’s condo! The condo is beautiful and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Having the beach chairs, beach umbrellas, tennis rackets, etc, was so helpful! They even thought of all the little extras like nightlights and even aloe for sunburns ;-). Our 11 year old daughter was delighted to check out all the books, puzzles, and games. We were able to bring our bikes and ride around the area, which is so beautiful. We enjoyed visiting Lowdermilk Beach, Marco Island, and the Vanderbilt Beach —all within 20-30 minutes drive. The beaches are lovely and have lots of shells. We also made a trip to the Everglades National Park, which was about 45 minutes away and worth the visit. We rode our bikes in the national park and saw a lot of alligators, beautiful birds, and turtles. I would recommend getting there early though, if you want to find parking. Overall, we had a wonderful visit and would highly recommend staying here!

Very nice place we stayed there while doing some night work for Lee county utility. Place was clean and cozy beds were comfortable over all would not hesitate to use again

Five stars is not enough to describe our stay. The house and grounds were beautiful. We especially enjoyed the pool, hot tub and outside seating area. Carla was a wonderful host and provided everything anyone would ever need. I have stayed in many AirBNBs and none were equipped with as many supplies as this one. There were beach chairs, umbrellas and pool toys and rafts which are great for people like us who traveled by plane. Thanks for a great stay!

Wir hatten eine großartige Zeit im Haus von Alex. Wir haben sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Ausstattung ist wirklich große Klasse, es ist sehr sauber, sehr geräumig, der Pool inkl. Whirlpool sind super. Alex war ein toller Gastgeber der sich sehr schnell auf Fragen zurück gemeldet hat. Ich empfehle zudem das tolle Gästebuch, welches Alex erstellt hat. Da gibt es alle hilfreichen Infos rund ums Haus. Herzlichen Dank Alex, wir kommen wieder!

Excelente estadía y la casa estuvo por encima de nuestras expectativas, además Serania siempre estuvo muy pendiente de nosotros

My family met at FMB for Christmas and stayed at Andy’s house and it was just what we needed! The location is great, quick walk to the beach and restaurants and shops. The area is definitely still a mess from hurricane Ian, but places are starting to reopen and the beach is still lovely and clean. The house had everything we needed to cook meals and lots of stuff to take to the beach!

Wir haben uns gleich wie zu Hause gefühlt. Das Haus und die Möbel sind in einem sehr guten Zustand und man hat viel Platz. Küche, Bäder und die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet und es fehlt an nichts. Restaurants sind sogar in Gehdistanz und auch der Supermarkt (Walmart) ist in der Nähe. Ich kann Ben's Haus sehr empfehlen!!

We have vacationed in the Cape Coral area for the last four years, love the location and it’s not nearly as congested as most other popular places in Florida. Of the four times we have stayed in Cape Coral it has been in Pelican, which we believe is the best section. Each of the three previous we had nice homes for sure, but Surfside Elegance is by far the best home we have stayed in and I would rate it outstanding. It truly is an elegant home, pristine clean, and furnished with everything you would ever need. Irina, the host is just wonderful to work with, but honestly I didn’t need to interact as there were no problems, questions, or concerns. I almost feel like my rating Surfside Elegance outstanding is an understatement. Thank you again Irina! Michael

My family stayed here over Christmas and we highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. It has a beautiful pool and is in a great and safe area close to great food, gas, shopping, groceries and anything you need. The house itself was clean, cozy, well stocked and has a beautiful heated pool. The arcade games kept the kids busy as well! Would definitely stay here again!

The location was absolutely perfect- super easy walk into town to grab lunch and dinner, and super easy walk to beach- and the cute little beach bars with music. The back patio was right on the canal and perfect to have a cup of coffee in the morning and a cocktail in the afternoon. Would highly recommend this place if coming to FMB.

We had a GR8 time staying here. The location is very peaceful and the secluded pool area is epic. The Yellow house has what you will need and some for a wonderfully relaxing stay. Bucky is a 10 outta 10 host, you won't be remiss. Book it!

Dorit and Top Florida is absolutely amazing. Very professional, helpful, and so accommodating for our family. Villa Pearl was a dream come true for us. So clean, very spacious, and had everything we would or want. Will definitely stay at Villa Pearl again and would definitely stay with a Top Florida property hosted by Dorit.

The house was perfect for the first leg of a Florida Fishing trip, house is very relaxing and well stocked with the necessities needed. house is in close proximity of our Charter Captain's launch area and a few great eating establishments. Lori made is very easy with check in and our stay, house is very clean and all amenities were as described. Made it easy to get a few nights of good sleep.

Es la segunda vez que nos hospedamos en esta casa, y la tercera con Marc y Anne como anfitriones. Ellos son ¡geniales! La casa es completísima, prolija, hay toallas de sobra y la cocina es un 10. Recomiendo abrir las ventanas, y permitir que el sol entre. Es una casa súper luminosa. El patio es, siempre, nuestro lugar de encuentro: entre la pileta y asados. Tuvimos un inconveniente con la secadora, y Marc fue absolutamente expeditivo, atento y servicial. El clima no ayudó, pero -igualmente- pasamos unos días FANTÁSTICOS. La casa cuenta con bicicletas, que disfrutamos dando vueltas por el barrio que es precioso. Gracias por recibirnos una vez más. Realmente cuidamos y sentimos su casa como propia. Porque así nos hacen sentir bien, super bien recibidos. GRACIAS POR TODO ❤️

We love this place! Stayed here twice and will be back again. Has everything you need, is clean and has a great pool & patio! Virginia is responsive with any questions and very sweet. Recommend this place 100%!

This house was perfect for our family vacation, it had everything in it, that you could possibly need especially the kitchen and the pool area I have never seen such a well-stocked kitchen, and the grandkids loved all the pool toys and accessories We are definitely going to make this our yearly vacation designation !!!!

Great place to stay. Have uses this place for a few years and will come back.

Enjoyed this just as much as the first time we stayed here. If we come back down this way we will definitely book Lis & Tim's place.

A beautiful location, very quiet neighborhood, yet within 1.5 miles of a large supermarket and drugstores. Pictures are very accurate of the home. We loved the outdoor pool area/lanai. There was an issue with the pool filter causing the pool to become too cold for swimming during the last few days, which was unfortunate for us, but that was not the hosts' fault, and they were very responsive, within minutes. The home as a very comfortable layout with several large sitting areas inside, as well as a very large lanai area. Kitchen is well equipped with everything we could need. We did not use the grill, but there was one available. We had an issue with the smoke detectors and, again, a simple text to our hosts brought immediate response and remedy. Alexina and her husband are lovely and very responsive. I would recommend this beautiful spot and we would return on our next trip to Cape Coral.

One of my most Favorite places in the world to stay! 3rd time!! Kevin is a wonderful host. He is very easy to get ahold of and will always provide useful information as well as things to see or do in the area. The property is so peaceful and relaxing. Exceptionally clean and everything you can think of that you will need is there and then some. Neighbors are very friendly and you will feel safe. You will even see the famous Cape Coral Burrowing Owls!! Definitely has become one of my "Happy Places!" Can't wait to return! ❤️

This property is everything it says it is. My family had a wonderful vacation at this location. We were very pleased!
