Nice spring break getaway
The Villa Papaya was excellent for our group of 6. There was plenty of space for everyone. We enjoyed the warm weather, the pool, fishing from the dock, and relaxing. Spent a day at the beach and caught a Twins spring training game. Wish our trip could have been longer!

Villa Papaya Stay
Plenty of room. Liked on site laundry. Adequate gathering space for meals. Thought the pool area floor could have been cleaner. Property manager and maintenance person were responsive to our needs. Loved Kenny! No fish caught in canal, which was a little disappointing

Memorial Day Weekend 23
We had a good time at this property. I feel it was fairly accurately listed on VRBO. However, there wasn’t any fishing tackle we had to go buy it and leave it there because we couldn’t take it back with us. There were towels which wasn’t indicated so we brought our own causing us to bring a whole other piece of luggage. It’s not a horrible drive to the beach but I wouldn’t say it’s close. The dishes were not clean when we got there so we ended up having to clean them before we could use them. The pool was nice and very clean. When we did get fishing tackle, we had a great time fishing and it is easy to catch bass in the canal. There is plenty of restaurants and things to do that are close to the property.

Beautiful Home
This home and the property owners are amazing. However if your traveling for a beach this is not the location. The travel for a beach is about 45 minutes to an hour or more! I would recommend this home being for older couples without teenagers. They get bored really easily! Our kiddos loved the pool but that's literally all that is in this location. Overall stay was good, just not a fun location. Thank you sooo much to the owners!

We stayed in January 2021 and would have stayed last year but the house was unavailable. Since it was available this year (2023) we stayed here a second time, and have already booked our stay for next year (2024).

Very quiet residential neighborhood. No direct neighbors.
We had a 3 generation family meeting. We had a great time in the pool. The owner and manager are very responsive and accommodating with all questions we had and information we needed. The house was a 4/2 with lookes good and was a perfect size for the 7 of us. We will definitely be back.

Kids enjoyed the pool and fishing off the dock, riding bikes. Well equipped home. Plenty of towels, linens and toys for the kids. Great location close to stores and shopping.

Well equipped, clean and comfortable villa. Loved the neighbourhood as it was very quite and not overlooked. Great pool area and having the dock to fish from was a great bonus. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with utilities. We loved our stay and hope to come back again soon.

A great villa
A large very comfortable villa, the heated pool is terrific. The only complaint we had was the condition of the cooking pots and pans in the kitchen, very old and worn. However we were informed by the management that the owner would be arriving soon to replace everything Being next to a canal added to the enjoyment watching the turtles and bass. Lots of birds too to give the villa a real country vibe. We had a very enjoyable two week stay at Villa Papaya

Quiet location and expectations were met
The house is located in a quiet community with many open lots. There was plenty of equipment in the garage to utilize on the beach and at the house i.e. fishing gear, bicycles, golf clubs, etc. Our grandsons enjoyed the pool and fishing off the dock. The photos shown on VRBO are accurate. We had a couple small maintenance issues but Sylvia addressed them quickly. She was very good to work with. I'd recomment this house for anyone.

Great house but horrible sewer smell!
The house was great, it was clean and perfect for our family of 8 that traveled together. We were disappointed that the pool light was not working as there was hardly any light outside at night and the kids loved being in the pool at night. The only other negative thing was the smell of the water in the sink and shower, it was a horrible sewer smell and it made the entire house smell like crap. Like it was really bothersome that you take a shower and you come out and it smells like sewer. Even when washing the dishes it was disgusting. The property manager and owner of the property were contacted but nothing could be done to fix either issue.

About the host

Hosted by Gary & Deb Nadolny

Host profile image
We live in northeastern Wisconsin and love to be outdoors in the beautiful summer months. It has been our dream to own a vacation home someplace warm where we can escape some of the cold winter months.

Why they chose this property

We traveled to Cape Coral several years ago to visit family in South Florida. We liked the area so much that we returned the next year and decided to purchase a vacation home of our own. Cape Coral is the ideal location close to the warm waters of the Gulf, a short drive to Fort Myers and world famous Sanibel Island and only a 2-1/2 hour drive to Walt Disney World in Orlando.

What makes this property unique

Villa Papaya is quiet and relaxing yet close to golfing, fishing, boating, beaches, shopping and dining. We found the perfect home on a canal in a quiet, safe neighborhood. There are Gopher Tortoises and protected Florida Burrowing Owls nesting next door.
