We had a fantastic stay! The house was extremely comfortable, spotless, and clearly well cared for. The pool was such a great feature and made the trip even better. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient, and everything was exactly as described. Owner was responsive and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely stay here again!

The pool was great and the access to the water. The only thing we didn’t like was there was a car in the driveway and a boat on the doc. That wasn’t listed in the pics of the property. All in all, a very nice property that has everything we needed

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Feb 2026
Thank you Dustin. Happy you enjoyed the place. But your review is not correct. The car is not in the driveway. It’s parked on the side of the house in the gravel. The entire driveway is open. And the boat on the lift is my boat. This is out vacation home so we keep a car there and our boat on the boat lift. 🤷‍♂️

The pool had an algae issue and wasn't useable. The manager addressed it quickly and in a couple of days the water cleared up. The pool tech said heating the pool would recreate the algae. The weather turned a bit to cool to get into a cold pool. It's a great place to stay and we will be back.

Great House for a beach vacay

The house is lovely. The pool and backyard dock are so great! Our family of five enjoyed our stay very much! The drive to the beach is not too far and they have supplied beach chairs/umbrella for you to use. Very quiet neighborhood.

Home away from home

A clean home with a great layout in a quiet neighborhood and still close to stores. The host was responsive and friendly. The kitchen is set up perfectly for simple cooking, the bedrooms are clean and spacious, and with two TVs everyone got to watch their favorite shows. Our family enjoyed our vacation here in this very pleasant home away from home.

Home away from home

We had a wonderful stay at this property! It’s a beautiful home in a great location. We enjoyed the pool. The area is great for walking and riding bikes (which were available for use with this home). Kitchen was well equipped. Lots of pool toys and beach items also were available. Owner was very communicative and promptly responded when contacted.

My son and I along with my sister and her son stayed for a week. House has everything you need to relax for the week. Very quite neighborhood but yet close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Great pool area and spectacular sunset views from the pool deck. Darryl quickly responded to a couple questions we had. Enjoyed our visit to Port Charlotte!

Great Place to Stay

Great place to stay! Great neighborhood. Tastefully decorated gives you a “relaxing at the beach” feel. Beautiful pool and great scenery. The only negative was the walk in shower. Very small and no hand held shower head. Also would have liked to have grab bar in master bathtub but both are easy fixes. Plenty of hot water! Host was very easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend staying here.

This place was a great, relaxing getaway for my husband and I. We loved the quite neighborhood, wonderful heated pool and lanai. Close to Englewood beach too where there are cool hangout spots ( the sand bar) and a great stop for breakfast (Magnolias). The hosts were great. Would definitely recommend for pure relaxation .
