We had an amazing vacation at Eight Palms! The house was beautiful and even better than the pictures show. Wonderful outdoor area with comfortable seating. The canal was so fun! We caught so many different types of fish and saw dolphins and manatee. The bedrooms were beautiful and beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was excellent! Well stocked with everything we needed. Local shops and restaurants were wonderful. Cynthia was very easy to communicate with and always answered very quickly. We would definitely stay here again!

Wish I could move in!

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!

Perfection in Punta Gorda!

We chose to make Punta Gorda the location of our annual family gathering. We couldn't have picked a better home and location. The home and property had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. Cynthia was fantastic and very responsive to our questions. We will recommend this home to our family and friends.

50th birthday weekend

Cynthia is AMAZING and the house is a dream! My friends and I met at the house from all over the country to celebrate my 50th and Cynthia made our stay so special. 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. Would definitely stay there again!!

Clean, cozy, comfortable, well appointed. We really had a great time. So many thoughtful touches - blankets, towels, pool floats. Everything we needed in the kitchen. We were a group of 3 couples, and everyone had their own space. We highly recommend this home and the owner. 10/10 will visit again!

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.
