My parents live in PG and we visit twice a year since 2018. This home is by far our favorite! The grounds are immaculate and fenced for our furry friends. It was just my wife and I (plus two 8lb pups) but this place would be accommodating to at least 6 adults. Very spacious. We will definitely return. Two things that were a bit concerning tho. *Entering the house. Why such a long code? If you hesitate to look at the numbers, it resets rather quickly. Maybe use guests phone numbers? *Ice dispenser on the refrigerator doesn’t work so well. Lastly, the sound bar/subwoofer connected to the main TV is amazing. Thank you for offering your spectacular home to rent!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We're thrilled this has become your favorite spot for your visits to the area, and we love that the fenced grounds give your pups room to roam. The spaciousness sounds like it made for a perfect retreat for you and your wife. We really appreciate you sharing those specific notes about the entry code and the ice dispenser. Your feedback about both has been passed along to the team for review. We're so glad you enjoyed the sound bar and subwoofer setup too. We'd absolutely love to host you again on your next visit to PG, and we can't wait to welcome you back. The VueStay Team

I’d highly recommend this property for its roomy interior and exterior, quiet location, refreshing pool. Beds were comfortable, linens good quality. Kitchen well equipped with high end cookware. It’s 1 hour to any nice beach. Venice south beach is the most convenient to get to.Cons are very low budget paper towels and toilet paper with minimal supply. Pay to heat the pool.Overall we enjoyed the house and felt it was a fairly good value. Book direct with Vacasa for the lowest service fees. High fees on VRBO.

Oasis on the canal!

AC that beat back the heat - a cozy pool, and a sunset view down the canal! What more do you need?!! Awesome rescue spot to what could have been a terrible trip to Punta Gorda - so glad we stayed here!

Lovely & Clean Waterfront Home

We rented this home for family because it was very close to our own. It was spotless when my son and his family checked in. They honestly didn't 'live' there as they were at our house most all the time but they enjoyed the house and found it very comfortable. The owners/manager were easy to deal with and offered us a very early check in which was very considerate.

Thank you for your feedback and for noting that you enjoyed the kitchen. We’re sorry for any confusion regarding the pool. The pool is professionally maintained, and while there is some visible wear to the lining, this is cosmetic only and does not impact cleanliness or usability. This information is noted in the listing and guest portal prior to arrival. We appreciate your comments and the opportunity to clarify.

Very clean and updated. Close to things to do. Pool table was nice.

Very good. Only problem we had was to run out of propane gas for the grill and garbage bags. I’m trying to get a receipt for the gas but the vendor did not email a receipt as the instructions said they would.

Nice house on canal.

Was a nice house, could have used some more spoons as there are only 4. The spatuala they had was not useable. The floors were filthy.

On the plus side, the house itself was very nice, with a great location, very walkable and safe. Plenty of towels and seating, comfortable beds and living area furniture (indoor & outdoor). Great water pressure for showering! We had to contact management upon arrival about a patio door not locking and they responded and took care of it very quickly. As for the negatives, the cleanliness could use some work. Dishes had to be washed before we used them (dishwasher was very loud), the windows were filthy, and the coffeemaker leaked. There were no measuring spoons, bath mats, kitchen dish cloths, or pool thermometer. No lawn service was completed during our 2 month stay. The sprinklers were not running so the lawn was dried out. Also worth mentioning is that garbage trucks run 3 days of the week in the area. (Garbage/recycling on Tuesday, garbage again on Friday, and lawn waste on Saturday). We have an anxious dog and hearing the trucks starting at 5:30 am made for a rough start to the day. I understand this is not something that is controlled by the homeowner or management, but other renters might appreciate the heads up.
