About the host
Hosted by Danica Dockery
I grew up visiting my grandparents right here in this area, back when they were commercial shrimpers fishing the waters of Charlotte Harbor. This home is deeply special to me; it keeps my favorite childhood memories alive—from the quiet mornings fishing off the dock and the sea wall to the tradition of taking the boat out to watch the sunset every single night. I love sharing this property because it allows others to experience the same magic of the Myakka River that shaped my life.
Why they chose this property
The Peace & Quiet: I chose Gulf Cove because it offers a rare 'Old Florida' feel that is hard to find. It’s a quiet, residential gem tucked away from the high-traffic tourist zones, yet it's perfectly positioned between the buzzing restaurant districts of Punta Gorda and the pristine beaches of Boca Grande.
The Waterfront Lifestyle: What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is the connection to the water. Between the babbling brooks throughout the community and the Myakka River in the backyard, the atmosphere is incredibly calming. It’s the kind of place where you can see a manatee in the morning and a sky full of stars at night.
What makes this property unique
The Combination of Space & Privacy: Unlike many rentals in the area that offer shared spaces, my property is a complete 3-bedroom home with a sprawling backyard that leads directly to the riverbank. It offers the perfect 'home base' with a chef-ready kitchen and high-speed Wi-Fi, making it just as suitable for a remote work assignment as it is for a family reunion.
The Attention to Rest: What sets this home apart is the focus on quality downtime. From the stunning river views on the back patio to the blackout curtains in every bedroom, I’ve designed the space specifically to help guests recharge. You get the amenities of a high-end hotel with the total privacy of a riverfront estate.
