Home was perfect in size, style and decor. Furniture inviting and plentiful. Accommodated large group of 8 perfectly. The pool was the super bonus. Pretty good access to stores and restaurants.

Great relaxation home
This home was nestled in a quiet serene area. Perfect for our family getaway. Our kids loved the pool, and it was a perfect size for the 4 of us to swim and enjoy even at night. The house is beautiful, comfortable and very easy to find everything you need. We will definitely be coming back!

Feels like a high-end resort
The house is beautiful, big, well-appointed. Everything in the description is true. A little pricey but well worth it. If we ever have to be in Punta Gorda/post charlotte again we will definitely stay there.

Quiet, peaceful and family friendly
What’s not to love about this beautiful house? This was our 3rd time staying at this house. It has all the amenities you could possibly need and it has a great layout for a family vacation. The lanai and swimming pool are connected with separate enclosures perfect for the safety of small children. This gorgeous house is located close to so much beautiful scenery, live entertainment, Fisherman’s Village, and 20-45 minutes from several beaches. Thank you to the homeowners and the cleaning staff.
House was great, had to leave early do to all getting flu on day one. We didn't by the insurance so was told no refund even though we were not there for 3 of the days. Understand that but dissapointed.

Hi, Charles, thank you for your review, we appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. Our cancelation and refund policies are outlined in our listing information and we urge our guests to read these details prior to booking so they may be aware of this policy. We apologize that we do not have more leeway in modifying this and we hope to have another opportunity to host you when the time is right.
The huge house, located at the end of a cul-de-sac, was immaculate upon check-in. The touchpad on the front door lock is very finicky. Typing in the 10 digit code too fast or slow will not let you in. It is a very safe neighborhood, and we felt very comfortable walking in the area every morning and evening. A law enforcement officer resides next door. Walmart and Publix are conveniently located less than a 10 minute drive. Beaches are about a 20 min drive. The on-site pool was very clean and faces a private back yard which boarders a small pond. The furnishings were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything need for meal prep. A great military museum with flight simulators and is located adjacent to Fisherman's Wharf, with its many dining options, in downtown Punta Gorda. Trying to reach a real person at property management proved to be problematic. The icemaker in the freezer was inoperative ,and I never could get anyone to tell about the problem.
