Other things to note
If you are looking for that special place to create memories, this is it! We discovered Punta Gorda on one of our many trips to Marco Island. Punta Gorda is a vibrant Waterfront community with that hometown feel. It boasts wonderful Restaurants, Marina, Golf course, Shopping, Nearby Beaches, and a pace of life that people from around the world come to enjoy. There are more than 70 events featuring music, art, farmers market, car shows, crafts, fishing tournaments, and many holiday celebrations. About 10 minutes from the house, you can find great shopping and dining at Fishermen's Village. We are very centrally located to many things, interstate 75 is about 5 minutes away and once you are on that you can easily get to Orlando for Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World all in about 2 hours. It's about a 1 hour and 35-minute drive to Tampa/Bush Gardens. Within an hour you can easily take day trips to St. Armand Circle in Sarasota, Naples, Marco Island, Boca Grande, Estero, and many more places I can't even think of right now! LOL ...Oh there is also a ferry out of Fort Meyers that does day trips to Key West. Lastly, we can't forget about all the amazing Beaches that you can get to within 45 minutes, Siesta Key Beach. Lido Key Beach, Ponce De Leon Beach, Port Charlotte Beach Park, Englewood Beach, Stump Pass Beach State Park, Boca Grande Beach, Fort Meyers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva Islands.

The house was perfect for our group of 10. Everyone had enough space and seating was ample and comfortable. The house was one of the most stocked rentals I have ever stayed in. There were toys and games for the kids and all the "small things" that you tend to forget or not have on vacation could easily be found in the house. The location was awesome, the neighborhood was quiet, and there was a grocery store and Walgreens a few minutes away for anything we didn't have. Our group enjoyed fishing and kayaking in the canal and playing in the pool. We had a few issues figuring out the heating of the pool/spa, but the hosts replied immediately to help us out, and they were more than willing to do whatever was necessary to solve any of our issues. We would definitely stay here again.

We were looking for a place on the water with a boat lift, pool, outdoor living and a one story home for our annual family vacation. This was perfect! Such a beautiful, clean place to stay. It felt like we had our own private resort! Owners were easy to reach and helped with anything we needed. We definitely look forward to coming back in the future!

Easy to work with, a well-stocked and beautiful home and a great locale for the things we were there to do. One of my favorite things was just being at the house and just hanging out.

Thanksgiving Gathering

This home was perfect for our Thanksgiving family gathering. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in and there was plenty of room for us to serve and eat around the dining room table. The house was spacious and extremely comfortable for eight adults and one child. The lanai/pool area was large and a nice place to spend time enjoying the day/evening in the pool or sitting around the fire pit. The owner was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend this beautifully appointed home.

February Vacation

The online pictures don't do this property justice. The house is in a great location, close to RSW and a short drive from downtown Punta Gorda and the Fisherman's Village area. The house hows all the amenities that you could want and then some. The pool and spa were wonderful and the outdoor space is great. We kayaked with the onsite kayaks and rented a boat to take advantage of the nearby islands. Just under an hour to Cayo Costa on a pontoon boat. We had a great week. Cynthia was easy to communicate with and was willing to share her knowledge of the area. Thanks Cynthia and Mac for a great vacation.

They thought of everything

This has been one of my favorite VRBO rentals to date. The pictures don't do it justice...the house is stunning. But I think what takes this house over the top is the "feel" of it. There are friendly notes throughout the house which adds to the comfort. The owner truly cares about your stay. The furniture and beds were dreamy comfortable. We had the worst weather possible for southwest Florida, but the house saved the trip. The hot tub was amazing, the outdoor TV and fire pit were appreciated for our football playoff games. I would not hesitate to rent this beautiful space again when I come back to the area. The host was incredibly responsive and made you feel so at home.
