Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ave Maria

Beautiful historic home ! Loved the wrap around porch and the hot tub. Great shower ! Loved the coffee and wine and cozy blankets on the couch . Wish we could have stayed longer . Lots of space ! Close to downtown fort Myers

We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. Everyone at the tennis/pickleball courts were friendly, and we got in good practice and games. The pool and hot tub were a great way to end the day. Ken was responsive to any of my questions. Close to grocery stores and shopping. Ken gave great recommendation for visiting the beach.

This house was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless—even the baseboards and ceiling fans were immaculate. The home is super spacious, with room to spread out comfortably (even the garage was huge!). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook indoors or grill outside, and there were multiple dining areas both inside and out. The pool and spa were beyond refreshing—clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by plenty of lounge chairs for everyone. We loved the outdoor eating area and the thoughtful extras like pool toys and bikes, which added a fun touch. My boys especially enjoyed exploring near the canal, which made for some great memories. The beds were super comfy, with plenty of extra linens and cozy throw blankets. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and the house is in a perfect, central location. The hosts were amazing: extremely responsive and helpful.

This is the second time my family has stayed at Connie & Dale’s. We absolutely love it. The home is gorgeous and well equipped with everything you need. The outdoor patio area and pool/ jacuzzi is amazing. So beautiful and relaxing. Will definitely be back !

Amazing location with a very “homey” atmosphere. Genuinely one of if not my favorite airbnb I have ever stayed in. Immediately feel at home when you walk in and enjoy an easy walk to the gorgeous Marco island beach, or grab food at the Marriott. Truly a gem 💎 We will 100% be back.

Carla's place was definitely worth the price. The home was meticulously clean and we really appreciated the modern kitchen appliances, which we used daily to cook and clean the dishes. The furniture is very comfortable, although we found the extra mattress topper in the master bedroom making the bed too soft. The master shower is amazing! Kids and I loved the pool and the partial shade throughout the Am morning and evening. Everything was supplied - beach chairs, umbrella, pool toys and fully stocked kitchen. Even rice cookers, crock pot and air fryer are available, as well as 3 ways to make coffee ☕. Publix stores and Walmart very close by, Loudermilk park/Beach within an 18- minute drive. Thank you, Carla, this would be a place to come back to if visiting area again.

The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The check-in process was smooth. The location was peaceful, perfect for relaxing. We especially enjoyed being right on the water for the beautiful sunsets.

Overall we were very happy with our stay. We loved having access to 2 kayaks to enjoy the canals. The pool and hot tub were awesome, and the house was amazing. The only things that were slightly annoying was having a member from the rental stop by bright and early on our first and last day to go over the status of the rental. When traveling it's a bit annoying to be woken up super early on your first day. I would also suggest changing the timer on the sprinklers. They would go off about 930 at night when we were trying to enjoy the hot tub. While they wouldn't always hit us, the water had a very strong smell of rotten eggs which made us not want to stay outside anymore. Thankfully they didn't come on every night.

We had a wonderful week at Nancy’s place! It was just right for my husband, me, and our small dog. Location is great and it’s an easy walk to the beach! While small, the apartment has all the necessities. We particularly liked that there is a bike rack and the house is beside a bike path.

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!

We spent the month of March at this home and enjoyed the experience. With only solar heat we were afraid we wouldn’t use the pool but it was great and enjoyed lots of floats. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor area and beautiful canal views. Everything looked like the pictures. We loved the quiet neighborhood too

A beautiful place on the gulf with everything you need for a relaxing beach getaway. Really enjoyed it

It was a wonderful stay! Ben was very kind and provided wonderful service during our stay. He provided bikes so we wouldn’t have to pay for parking and it was only 10 minutes to the beach. If you’re looking for a quiet vacation, this is the place to be! The home was plenty of space to host friends family or even furry companions.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Our stay at this beautiful home in Cape Coral was absolutely perfect! The home was exactly as pictured—clean, stylish, and thoughtfully decorated. It felt like a private oasis: quiet, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. Everything we needed was there, and the host went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The attention to detail and level of hospitality truly stood out. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent again and are already looking forward to our next trip back. Highly recommend!

It was very nice! It was close to Sanibel island and near by restaurants. The place was clean! We stayed here on a work trip and it worked for us

Amazing host! Super responsive and understanding. Stayed with my cat, it was a very pleasant experience. I was so surprised by the amount of things it had, good shampoo, conditioner, coffee maker and even some coffee pods! I highly recommend this place, neighborhood quiet and beautiful.

We had a truly lovely stay at Mary’s cozy apartment. From the moment I walked in, it felt like a home away from home - clean, thoughtfully decorated, and full of charm. The space was perfect for relaxing, and everything we needed was nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and welcoming, with great restaurants and shops nearby. I’d absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable retreat.

This apartment was lovely and spotless. My family and I had a wonderful and relaxing time. The condo is very private and quiet. The beach is very close even though we got rough seas but weather was nice. Highly recommend this place.

I often give Airbnb hosts positive reviews, but this place really was wonderful. We needed to visit family in the area, so it met our specific needs well, but anyone would enjoy this place. It has a lovely pool (screened in to keep away bugs), is a fun bike ride away from the beach, and close to downtown Bonita springs and near lovely Naples. We want to come back next year!

This is the second time we've stayed at this house, and the third time with Marc and Anne as hosts. They're great! The house is very complete, tidy, there are plenty of towels and the kitchen is a 10. I recommend opening the windows and letting the sun in. It's a super bright house. The patio is always our meeting place: between the pool and the barbecue. We had a problem with the dryer, and Marc was absolutely prompt, attentive and helpful. The weather didn't help, but we still had a FANTASTIC time. The house has bicycles, which we enjoyed riding around the neighborhood, which is beautiful. Thanks for having us once again. We really take care of and feel at home in your home. Because that's how you make us feel, really well taken care of. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING ❤️

Third time staying here. Griselle is a great host. Clear check in instructions, very clean. Home sits on a beautiful dead end street. You can enjoy morning coffee on the quiet dock. Close to many stores and resteraunts. The beach is just five minutes away!

Very nice condo. Great location with easy walk to the beach. Beds were very comfortable.

Very happy, we were very pleased. It's definitely a cozy house with everything you need to feel at home. We will definitely return in the summer.

David was extremely friendly and responded quickly to any and all questions. The space was great- 3 minute or so walk to the beach was accurate, and we thoroughly enjoyed the on-site pool as well. The space is simple but accomplished exactly what we were looking for. Provided umbrella and beach chairs was a nice touch that helps us northerners avoid a bad sunburn. Town is still recovering from hurricane but we found plenty to do, and was nice and close to some food trucks, restaurants, and grocery stores. 10/10 would recommend for groups of 2-6.
