| We had a lovely fortnight at Villa Ultima in June/July 2008. The house is exceptionally well located and a real home-from-home. Thanks to Karen and Ed for their friendly welcome and we hope to be back again very soon! |

Lesley also wrote in an email "just wanted to thank you both for renting your lovely home to us for the last 2 weeks. We had a great fortnight and are hugely delighted to have discovered such a lovely base in Cape Coral. Over the past 14 years, we've rented a number of different houses in the area, amongst which yours is outstanding - it's so well equipped and cared for, and the location for us as avid boaters was fabulous! Meeting a couple of dolphins and then, on another day, a grazing manatee, all in the canal just around the corner from Ultima was a highlight we shall always treasure!"

Dear Ed & Karen -
Four generations of our family enjoyed your beautiful home over the 2007 Christmas Holiday. We just want to thank you for making this a wonderful and memorable experience for us. Your home is so comfortable and you've thought of everything in regards to amenities. There were no surprises as everything was just as stated. We immediately felt "at home" the moment we walked through the front door. Thanks for sharing Villa Ultima with us! |

| Dear Ed and Karen, I think my family was one of the first to stay in your lovely home. We loved it so much! You furnished it with such good quality pieces - furniture, beds, linens, etc. that staying there was a real treat. The pool is wonderful, the water access to Sanibel Island by boat so direct. Everything was just perfect! |

Hi Karen!
Thank you for all of the information about Villa Ultima! We have been renting homes for our Easter vacation for about 6 years now and I have to say that you and Ed are certainly the most thorough and accommodating owners that we have dealt with. We are so excited about our upcoming stay at your home!
Thanks again,
Kim DiRienzo

Hi Karen and Ed
Just to let you know we have arrived at Villa Ultima. The name does not do it justice. My kids
think you should rename it Villa Outofthisworld!!! I am looking forward to a week of relaxation.

Hi Karen,
Sarah and I wanted to thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home in Cape Coral. My mother
and my son also had a wonderful time. In fact, had a hard time peeling them out of the pool every
day. It took us nearly the entire week we were there to search behind every door and in every
closet, but alas, we could not find Robin Leach. We hope to visit again in the future.
Ever thankful and rested,
Cindy Griffith and Sarah Caniglia (and Michael and Peggy)
Dear Ed & Karen,
There was probably close to 55 for dinner - all the boys which was 22 and then several of their
parents - we served chicken/beef burritos and beans and rice on the bar and then had snacks all
over...we put the desserts on the little bar and it worked out great...everyone was mostly hanging
around the pool or in it and then down on the dock enjoying the beautiful weather and water...we
never did find the keys to the boat - hahaha!!!!
But we never felt crowded either - the flow of the house was perfect!!!!
Thanks again - I am happy that your family felt that we took good care of your house, we treated it
just like we would be at our own...

Hi Ed & Karen,
As we prepare for departure tomorrow, Joann and I would like to thank you for a wonderful 2 weeks.
We have rented homes around the US for a number of years and must say you and Karen operate and
maintain this home in superior fashion. Hopefully the future will be kind and bring us back..
Best Regards.....Joe, Joann, John and Kelly Smit.
Dear Ed and Karen
As we have just arrived home, I wanted to drop you a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our stay
in your house. We have rented many houses in the area over the past few years and we all agreed
that your house stands head and shoulders above all the others we have rented. So many lovely extra
touches - we were all so sorry that we had to come back home. I honestely do not think that there
is anything you could do to improve the house for vacation rental - it lacks nothing - you have
thought of everything - even a tea kettle - that was something else we had to buy last time we came
to Cape Coral! Please do not be concerned about the fourth bedroom - it suited us just fine.
There was plenty of hanging space plus drawer space
Many, many thanks once again.

Hi Karen & Ed
We recently stayed in your superb villa (week commencing 15th May) and just wanted to let you know
what a wonderfully relaxing holiday we had. The location and amenities were first class and Dave
really enjoyed fishing off the dock. Hope to contact you again shortly to arrange a booking for
next year.
Kind regards
Linda & Dave Dawson

Dear Karen and Ed:
I have to say, staying at your house in Cape Coral was better than staying at a five star
hotel...never did find the butler though....
Having never used the internet as a way to rent a house, I was a little nervous about the whole
procedure. But the way you and Ed handled the whole thing from start to finish, I have to say that
I was more than happy with the whole experience and would be happy to use this way of renting again
on another vacation.
You have made the house warm and comfortable. One of the other ladies hair dryer went out and
without you guys missing a skip, there was already a hair dryer under the sink for her to use and
not just one hair dryer but I think one for every bathroom.
We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the evening with our snacks and wine/beer and
sharing the day after watching our son's play in their college baseball tournament. The weather was
absolutely perfect - the two couples from Ohio were thrilled to get away from the cold and even my
husband and I were glad that the weather was warmer in Florida than in California.
Thank you again for sharing your home...if 10 was the highest rating you could receive on your
house, then I would rate it an 11!!!!!
