Stunning Waterfront-canal home minutes from Charlotte Harbor, Saltwater Pool!
WELCOME TO PUNTA GORDA ISLES This sun-soaked ranch with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, large open-concept living-kitchen-dining spaces is perfect for gathering with family and friends. Gorgeous lanai overlooks a gulf-access canal basin and you are just minutes out to Charlotte Harbor by boat and just a 30 minute boat ride to Boca Grande. Dressed with stone, a heated inground salt water pool (electric heater), and spa area within the pool to relax and enjoy, this picture-perfect outdoor space feels like your own personal resort! See fish daily, the occasional manatee or turtle right off the dock. Enjoy easy outdoor dining with covered lanai seating, a nice-sized propane gas grill, and outdoor countertop with sink and small refrigerator! After dinner, walk down to the waterfront, an oversized dock to enjoy drinks and picture-perfect sunsets. Backyard also features fenced in area for kiddos to play, which can easily be seen while sitting in the lanai or on the dock. Extra seating patio just outside the lanai to really be able to soak up the sun. You’ll want to spend every minute outside basking in the sun, playing in the pool, and making new memories. Conveniently located near the Fisherman’s Village (5–7-minute drive, or lovely 20–30-minute walk) or travel by boat from the dock area. Fisherman’s Village is a magical destination of this own, where you can get coffee, ice cream, go shopping, and dine at one of the 5+ restaurants. Live entertainment is offered frequently in Fisherman’s Village and features a nice white sand beach to watch the sunset. Boat and jet ski rentals just near the home or book a charter fishing excursion on the gulf and our guide picks you up in the morning from the dock of our home. Downtown Punta Gorda also features many restaurants and shopping experiences, it’s like a hallmark town! All of this with in minutes of our home.

The owners Patrick & Marla are out of state and had no idea the condition of this expensive house. We had rotten egg smell throughout the house for the first 2 days and no hot water. The plumber was underfoot fixing everything on Monday & Tuesday so he had to turn the water off. we arrived on Saturday. We had even thought of getting a motel the first night the smell was overwhelming but with 10 people and 2 toddlers that was not going to happen. The owner acted like it wasn't their fault that this had happened. They hadn't this house for 3 months and didnt drain the water tank and expected a non existing neighbor to do it. The garbage was already full when we arrived, the dishwasher didn't clean, the kitchen faucet handle didn't work properly and the pool was at 64 degrees!! It took 2 days to warm up and it was supposed to be at 84 degrees when we arrived. The owners did not care and did not want to compensate for those miserble 2 days. We traveled as a family 3,000 miles to a nightmare. I have screenshots of our conversations with the owner.

An absolute piece of the good life.
An amazing home & property, very well decorated, and no expenses were spared when it came to ensuring the guest was cared for.
Between the spacious / comfortable rooms, walk in showers, heated saltwater pool and walks through the stunning neighborhood we really didn't want to leave.
Owner / Manager Pat was very responsive and helpful as be we needed.
We travel often, always using Short Term Rentals and this one takes the cake thus far!
Thanks guys, we'll be back 👍
