Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ave Maria

We had a wonderful stay at Derek’s place. Quite frankly, it is the perfect Airbnb. It is a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood in beautiful condition. Everything worked perfectly, and Derek was always available within information to assist us with anything we needed. I look forward to the time where I can stay here again.

The house we reserved was better than expected and everything was immaculate. Neil, the property manager responded right away when we called about a broken vaccum cleaner. Excellent response time and very professional. Unfortunately a thunderstorm damaged the AC and it couldn't be fixed right away, but Sean moved us right away to an even larger house. He even reimbursed us a day for our having to move and the night without AC. We definitely would rent from Sean again.

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 !

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.

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.

We had a great stay! The home is clean, cozy, and has everything you need. The beach is very close, which made our trip even better. We truly enjoyed our time here and definitely recommend this place!

This was a great “home base” for our event at the Heitman House. It was nearby and walkable, with plenty of space for all our guests. The house and backyard were excellent for hosting meals and hangouts, and the place was really well-stocked, making it feel like home and not a random rental. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of linens, including lots of extras so despite being at full capacity for days we didn’t need to go without. I really appreciated the amount of bath and pool towels that were provided! The hosts were responsive and had anticipated many of our questions and needs. Details like the kitchen having multiple coffee makers, and extra bug spray & beach chairs were nice touches.

Location is close enough to bike into downtown FMB and to the Publix, and we did both during our stay! The kids enjoyed the pool. House was stocked with everything you'd need for a day at the beach, which was much appreciated!

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.

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

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.

We really enjoyed spending our Thanksgiving holiday at this location. Watching the sunsets every night over the lake were spectacular. The pictures of the place were accurate. The host was wonderful and very communicative.

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.

If you are fortunate enough to come across Fatemeh’s listing - book it immediately! Fatemeh’s beautiful bungalow is the place to stay! We have stayed at many places in our travels to Sanibel Island and Fatemeh’s place is by far our favorite- I am a picky renter too! She is quick to respond to questions, made checking in a breeze and even messaged us a few days in to see if we needed anything. The community is amazing and the pools are a dream with a tiki bar for both drinks and food. There were bikes and beach chairs to use too. Her place is a 5⭐️ rental. You will be glad you took my advice- I promise!

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!

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 ❤️

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

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.

First time we stayed at Micheline's house. It was just like the listing said. The house and pool are very private and it is in a quiet neighborhood. Check in was extremely easy. The house was very clean and had everything one would need. There are many options for any type of restaurant one would want within minutes of the house. Bonita Beach is a very short drive and there are many other beaches close by. We spent most of our time relaxing on the lanai and enjoying the pool. Had a wonderful time and are hoping to return in the fall. Bill

Absolutely loved our stay at Alan’s condo in Naples! The space was clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained—perfect for a relaxing getaway. We especially appreciated the thoughtful extras like beach coolers and a beach chair, which made our beach days so easy and enjoyable. The on-site amenities were top-notch and added to the resort-like feel of the stay. Alan was a fantastic host—always quick to respond and incredibly helpful. Our kids said their favorite part of the entire vacation was the Topgolf suite in the clubhouse—it was such a fun and unique bonus! Highly recommend this gem for families or anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable Naples getaway.

Had a GREAT stay at Villa Sanibella! Would definitely book again! When booking Airbnb’s I scour reviews on cleanliness and can confidently say Neil’s place definitely met my expectations! Thanks so much!
