Step outside to discover your very own oasis—a spacious, screened-in heated private pool, recently refurbished for your enjoyment. The inviting patio, designed for outdoor dining, comfortably seats six, creating the perfect setting for gatherings with family and friends. As you stroll to the water’s edge, you'll find multiple seating areas, including two chairs and a charming small table on the new lower dock—ideal for fishing or soaking in the serene natural surroundings.
The upper cement dock offers cozy seating for four, perfect for sipping a drink while enjoying the views.

Home was very nice and well taken care of! We had everything we needed for days at the beach and to stay home if so desired. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes and pans for cooking. Sharie was terrific about adding some days when our plans changed and we were allowed a late checkout as we had a later flight. We would definitely stay here again. Everything is as described in the listing.

About the host

Hosted by Ron and Sharie Holben

Host profile image
Your Hosts: Ron and Sharie Holben. We live in Sturgis Michigan and are retired from the drinking water and water well industry. For 7 years we had a vacation home in Wawa, Ontario Canada. About 4 hours north of Michigan's upper peninsula. We had 200' of pristine lakefront, sandy beach and clear water. We were entirely off the grid, no power, no phone no Internet. Ah paradise.

In the spring of 2013 we decided it was time for a change. We sold the cabin and the search began for the perfect southern vacation home. We looked in Florida, Texas and several other States.

We decided on Port Charlotte for it's proximity to the gulf, all the activities in the area, and terrific weather year round. The bonus was having restaurants and shopping so close and amazing neighbors, in an extremely quiet residential neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect property, if you want quiet relaxation with your own private pool and dock on a salt water canal. And.... you also want to be close to all the shops and restaurants. You CAN have it all. Plus, we are only about 20 minutes from the gulf beaches

What makes this property unique

We have just started to discover all the area has to offer. We hope you will fall in love with Port Charlotte and the Gulf Islands, as we did and enjoy exploring the uncrowded beaches, quaint shops and excellent dining.
