About this property

Ground-Floor Canal-Front Coastal Retreat

Welcome to Palm and Tide | Dolphin, a bright and thoughtfully refreshed ground-floor canal-front retreat in Southwest Florida designed to offer a clean, comfortable, and elevated stay from the moment you arrive.

This home is ideal for guests who want more than just a place to sleep. Thoughtfully designed to feel polished, easy, and inviting, Dolphin offers a relaxed coastal atmosphere and a layout that makes settling in feel simple. Whether you are visiting for a weekend getaway, an extended stay, or simply looking for a peaceful home base near the water, this space is intended to feel calm, dependable, and well cared for throughout your visit.

As part of the Palm and Tide collection, Dolphin reflects our focus on thoughtful presentation, cleanliness, comfort, and a guest experience that feels intentionally maintained from start to finish. We believe a rental should feel welcoming, consistent, and a little more elevated than average while still feeling warm and easy.

Guests will have private access to the full unit during their stay, along with the included amenities for comfort and convenience. Check-in details and arrival instructions are provided prior to arrival so the experience feels smooth and straightforward. We like guests to enjoy their privacy, but we are available through the booking platform if anything comes up during the stay.

Set on the canal in a laid-back Southwest Florida location, Dolphin offers the relaxed coastal feel guests come here to enjoy, with convenient access to local dining, shopping, waterfront areas, and outdoor activities. It is a great fit for guests who want to enjoy the area while returning to a space that feels peaceful, clean, and well maintained at the end of the day.

Whether you are here to relax, explore, or stay a little longer, Palm and Tide | Dolphin offers a bright canal-front coastal stay designed to feel easy, refreshed, and intentionally cared for throughout.

Great outdoor seating!

I initially chose to book our stay here because of the outdoor seating area. I’m so glad we stayed here because that seating area is where we spent most of our time when we were there. The place was clean, felt spacious, and was in a great location, not being too far away from the downtown area. Will recommend this place to others in the future.

Perfection!

This property was exactly as advertised and was absolutely perfect for our stay. The property was lovely and coffee on the lanai every morning watching the fish jump in the water was everything I dreamed! I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit the area.

Great place !

My husband and I came to Punta Gorda for some medical procedures I needed. When we had to stay longer for medical reasons, Maggie was very helpful. We truly appreciate all the help we got so we didn’t have to move. This is a great place close to anywhere you want to go in Punta Gorda. The neighborhood is great! Thank you so much for making our stay stress free!

Visit to Punta Gorda

Overall the stay was great. I come down to Florida to visit my son from time to time but sometimes he has to work so while he's working, I would like to enjoy being outside. Since this is by the water I was hoping to be able to sit close to it but unfortunatley the back area is sloped so there is no where to put a chair outside. That would be the only downfall. Otherwise the place was clean and very comfortable. Property manager/owner was very accommodating with an early check in. I would return.

Comfy Condo on the Canal

This condo is amazing! It's located in a million dollar neighborhood - 1 mile away from Fisherman's Village. The spacious kitchen with new stainless steel appliances was ideal for cooking our meals. The large living / dining area was perfect for hosting small get-togethers with our family. The screened in porch with the comfortable couch offered incredible views of the sunrises on the canal. The two bedrooms are on separate ends of the condo; each has access to it's own updated bathroom. This would be great for two couples wanting to share the condo; the beds were just right to our liking. We really enjoyed the easy access to the washer and dryer located in the utility closet right off the first bathroom. The decor is so stylist and classy. There is absolutely no clutter! Maggie is the perfect hostess - quick to reply to questions and so attentive to our needs. If possible, we plan to return to this Comfy Condo in July. I highly recommend it.
