For my wife and I,it was exactly what we wanted.The house was clean and comfortable.The pool was great.The location was perfect for the great beaches and shopping,golf.We would definitely stay there again.
The most beautiful home, centrally located by many beaches. The stay felt like my own home. It was very clean and welcoming. A definite return stay location.
My husband and I stayed for 2 weeks and had friends visit. The property was perfect. A little farther away from restaurants and town than we liked but the pool more than made up for it. Absolutely wonderful home. Thank You for sharing it.
The Canal Dreams property is exactly as described--clean, comfortable, nicely furnished, quiet neighborhood and scenic view of the canal. The pool was great, the perfect temperature. The kitchen provided everything we needed. I appreciated that there was both a Keurig and a larger drip coffee maker.The house location was perfect for us because it was a 5-minute drive to my brother's family who we were there to visit. There are good grocery stores in the Port Charlotte area, beaches nearby and restaurants.We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return again next year!

Hi Lori,
We're glad you enjoyed this vacation rental! Thanks for vacationing with Lemon Bay Vacation Rentals!
My husband and I decided fairly last minute to head to Florida to visit family. We came across this gem and decided to book it. We are so pleased that we did! Very quiet neighborhood. The home was very nice, clean and well kept! Very nice pool that we enjoyed during our stay. I would have to say it was one of the best places we have stayed. Great information from the manager prior to arrival. Would definitely recommend!
Canal Dreams is a well equipped home with a pool and located on a canal. The home is nicely appointed, and was comfortable for our one-month stay for us and visiting adult children. The pool was great (set to 86°) and the pool area is newly replaced. Beautiful setting on a canal. We love the location for access to our favorite beaches, Punta Gorda, Venice and Boca Grande. Recommended.
