Family-friendly holiday 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

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 !

Very close to 5th Ave and the beach. Plenty to do between the pool, shuffle board, corn hole, and board games. The bikes and beach chairs were in use daily. Responded to any questions or requests we had. Overall a great experience.

We rented the house for a family reunion of 7 people, we ended up going only 6 people. We had a great time , we spent most of the time by the pool and inside the Jacuzzi and the pool. I will suggest to the Host to a couple of Lights or Flood lights in the back patio by the pool area. If you want to cook a BBB, you have to do it before it gets dark, the only light is the one inside the pool.

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.

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

Super clean condo right on the beach. convenient parking. Beautiful get away!

This is our second year in a row staying at Bob’s home. We absolutely love the property. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants and many other things to do. The home is in great shape, very clean and all the amenities you need to enjoy the property! We will definitely book again.

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

A wonderful house, this was our 2nd stay at Bucky's and we always feel right at home: All of us, parents and children (and dogs), were happy with the house and the spaces we were able to create for ourselves. Pool is divine on a hot day. The kitchen has everything that one could want. Our walks in the neighborhood with the little owls -- lovely!!!! I've been going to Marco for 30 years, it is one of my favorite places, the beaches are beautiful -- Tigertail is our favorite. In 30 years there has not been a day that we have not seen dolphins. Bucky is a wonderful and attentive host. We highly recommend Bucky's home.

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.

Enjoyed our stay! Home is decorated in a lovely beach theme that makes you feel like you are on vacation the moment you walk in. Very well stocked with everything needed plus some. We brought our boat and found it very easy to get out to open water and the marina. Easy access to Sanibel beaches where we anchored with hundreds of other boats to enjoy the shallow calm water for Memorial Day weekend. Would highly recommend!

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.

absolutely gorgeous condo with walkout to the beach. it was spacious and clean and he was accommodating in allowing us to get in a little earlier than normal check in. high recommend this place I will defiantly be booking here again!

BEAUTIFUL HOME. GREAT LOCATION. EXCELLENT HOST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. GREAT PLACE TO VISIT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

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 ❤️

Beautiful home with everything you could want in a quiet spot. It was a wonderful home away from home.

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

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.

always pleased with the condo and especially Tammy. the size of the condo is perfect for my husband and I. the pool was clean and refreshing on hot days. updated landscaping looks awesome
