A few years ago Money Magazine ranked Punta Gorda "Second" of the top 20 "best places to live". It is a charming riverfront community. We have our own small riverfront beach area with wonderful sunsets.
Our local Fisherman's Village is just a 5 minute drive from the villa. (You can look it up at fishville.) It has many charming shops and several restaurants, including Harpoon Harry's where you can enjoy a meal or just a drink and overlook Charlotte Harbor and watch the sunset. It is a beautiful view where you can watch all the boats in the harbor, the dolphins playing or the pelicans swooping down over the water.
Several wonderful restaurants are in downtown historic Punta Gorda, along with cobblestone streets and gas lamp streetlights. You will also find street art and about 20 murals around town and residential brick-lined streets.
Warm, sandy beaches are within 45-60 minutes drive.
Half a dozen golf courses are just a few minutes drive with many more to choose from a bit further away.
Fish on the dock in the back of the house or arrange a local charter. Charters are also available for sunset cruises or pleasure trips. Boat rental is locally available and less expensive if you arrange it through us in advance. You can park it at our dock behind the house.
Shopping is fantastic. Choices go from unique and quaint at Fisherman's Village or downtown Punta Gorda to mega Outlet malls about 45 minutes away.
Historic Naples is about a 60 minute drive, Sanabel Island about 45 minutes, Tampa 90 minutes, Orlando 2 hours, Miami 2 1/2 hours.
So much to see and do and so little time!

Those two weeks we stayed in this "DREAM HOME" were the best vacation we ever had. The weather was perfect, the pool just wonderful and everything else great. We love to come back sometime soon.

This was a great week. I wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe next time. I recommend taking a boat trip up the Peace River to Nav-A-Gators. That was tons of fun. I think we spent at least 50% of our time here in the pool. Thanks for the great place.

We have had a fabulous trip! Thanks you for the use of your beautiful home! Caught a few fish and a lot of great sunsets! Kids had a fun time in the pool and exploring Punta Gorda. Went to a Minnesota Twins baseball game and had a great time! Thanks again! We will be back again sometime soon!

We had the most relaxing vacation thanks to your amazing efforts to provide everything we needed. Our first trip to Punta Gorda will be remembered fondly! We hope to return to your lovely home to cheer the Rays to victory again and again. Thanks you for opening your charming house to our family.

What's to be said about your home? GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! Your appointments were superb and fun! Who would have thought the flamingoes and blue fish would make the drink! Thank you for sharing and also caring.

What a lovely home you have. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We will miss your lovely pool and being able to swim laps every day and sunbathe. Thank you for all the nice amenities you provided and especially the "welcome wine" on our arrival. What a nice touch. Punta Gorda is a wonderful town and we are dragging our feet to get ready to go back to Michigan the the ice and snow. Thanks again for everything. We will be back!

From the moment we entered the VILLA (with the wine on the counter) we felt warmly welcome. Then taking in the layout, your decor and appointments and the beautiful and incredibly stocked kitchen and the lanai and the pool, we were totally hooked. :) Your attention to details, the weather (we arrived via ice storm in Ohio and Kentucky) completed an incredible vacation. We loved the lanai, we ate out there for most meals. Punta Gorda is a charming place...to put it in a nutshell. WE LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR STAY HERE. Thank you for sharing this incredible place. We will send a picture from home after we pick out our "best shot." Thanks again.

We had a BALL! and we all partyed pretty good for our ages. We still have IT... If we get bored, we now know we can hit the road as a singing group! Your Florida home is beautiful. We feel so much at home due to the comfort of your home and your hospitality. The open-ness of your home makes you feel outside, even though you are actually inside and protected. GREAT job! Thank you for sharing your home.

Thank you so much for sharing your home. There are so many things we enjoyed during our stay here: we loved cooking in the kitchen - we loved eating out on the lanai - pool was fantastic - great outdoor shower - bedrooms were all fantastic. We were so happy to cook several meals for our family in from Germany. Your home allowed us to create wonderful memories for our family. Thank you!! Beautiful home & property. What a way to end the year! Happy New Year.

The house is beautiful. The perfect place to unwind in the lap of luxury. We had a great time even though Gustav came to visit. We will send pics we took here and Sanabel Island.
