Why Maureen Cain/Brad Barco chose Florida
We've rented elsewhere in Florida, including Treasure Island, for some years when a friend told us about Punta Gorda and their condominium complex. We visited the area and found so much to see and do yet without the traffic and congestion found elsewhere in Florida. The public is provided with unbelievable opportunities to access the waterfront and its many pleasures and activities including entertainment (Gilchrist Park and Fishermens Villages) at no cost. And everyone is so helpful and friendly. Businesses offer so many specials to provide reasonably priced meals, golfing, cruises, and admission to cultural activities and special events including a great comedy club just 2 miles from the condo (Vicente's). And one of the best features is the quiet and relaxation of the condo itself while being able to access every conceivable type shopping and business within a few miles.
What makes this condo unique
We immediately fell in love with this unit the moment we first walked in. It was a 'WOW!' moment and nothing else we had seen could begin to compare. The beautiful interior conveyed a sense of light, tranquility, and comfort and the lake view was spectacular even from inside. We live directly on the water in Rhode Island and the lanai, overlooking the lake, just added to our sense that we had found a perfect match. Additional note: Every single person who visited with us during our later stay expressed that same 'WOW!' moment.

Wonderful retreat
We rented this condo for the month of March. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing retreat away from the madness of Florida highways and resorts but very close to all that Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte have to offer, this is the place. It was spotless and as advertised. Brad and Maureen have created a reasonably priced getaway with a homey feel and everything you need to enjoy your stay. The unit is well stocked with towels, linens and kitchenware. The beds are comfortable and the furnishings are well kept. No broken or mismatched chairs and lumpy beds and sofas here! You will never feel like you are in a hotel.
Our favorite spot to dine in and relax was the lanai that overlooks the lake. It was not unusual to see shore birds and ducks fly in/out and turtles swimming while owners and renters fished at all times of the day. We even saw eagles.
The complex has a nice heated pool where we spent many great afternoons enjoying the sunshine and chatting with owners and renters from all over the US and Canada. People here are friendly and willing to share information about the local area which was helpful since this was our first time in Punta Gorda.
We were able to ride our bikes around the neighborhood streets without the worry of traffic. There are several good but inexpensive executive golf courses nearby just off Kings Highway where you also can quickly get to grocery stores, gas stations and a CVS pharmacy without fighting heavy traffic. Everything was so convenient.
Although you feel you are away from the busy highways, you are only a short distance from the Tamiami Trail, Interstate Route 75 and the Kings Highway. This was important to us since we had plans to attend spring training baseball games in Sarasota and Fort Myers.
We can't wait to come back. Brad and Maureen are great hosts who go out of their way during the reservation process and while you are there to make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay.

February 2017 Port Charlotte Stay
My wife and I stayed at the condo from Jan.29th to March 1st. I have used VRBO before and have always been satisfied and this unit was also an excellent choice. The condo has been very well maintained and the pictures on the website show how nice it really is especially the view looking out at the lake. Brad and Maureen have done a nice job of decorating the unit and supplying everything you need during your stay especially in the kitchen. What we really liked was that the condo is away from the major roads and really provided a nice quiet peaceful setting. We slept almost every night with the windows open in the bedroom.
There is plenty to do in the area. The condo has a very nice swimming pool that we visited on numerous occasions during our stay. Englewood Beach is only 40 minutes away and is a great place to spend a day hunting for shells. Charlotte Harbor is a short 10 minute drive and I especially liked going in the morning and walking across the bridge. The town of Punta Gorda is 10 minutes away and has a nice Farmers Market. It is also the site of Fisherman's Village that offers shopping, restaurants, and harbor cruises. Port Charlotte is also the home of the Tampa Bay Rays Spring Training site. There are also numerous golf courses in the area. We took a trip over to Disney World which is only 2 and a half hours away. Also if you are a member of Silversneakers they just opened up a new Planet Fitness gym near Publix grocery store.
There are so many restaurants in the area you could eat at a different one every night. Our favorites were Bella Napoli for Pizza, Prime Steakhouse, Blue Tequilla for Mexican food , and Peters Family Dining for breakfast.
I would recommend this condo to anyone coming to the area and Brad was such a nice person to work with both before and during our vacation.
Highly recommend
We vacationed at this beautiful condo this past January. It is the first time that we have been to this area. What a wonderful find at a reasonable price. We particularly liked the location of this peaceful setting, especially the lanai over looking the lake. The condo is very clean and well equipped, it was well represented and the pictures on the web site were right on. Nice quiet area but so close to everything that you could want to do. We visited Port Charlotte Beach several times which was less than 5 miles , though not a gulf beach it was very nice. Hopefully we can return again in the near future. Brad and Maureen were great to deal with.

Another Great Stay!!!!!!!!!
This is our second time we have vacationed at this condo during the month of December. Again it is one of the cleanest places that we have ever rented. The condo is fully equipped with everything that you could possibly need. The lanai over looking the lake is just so peaceful just to sit and have a drink or to read a book. We have also enjoyed relaxing at the heated pool just about everyday. Everyone in the complex is so friendly. There is so much to do in the area and everything is so close. One of our favorite spots is Fisherman's Village, which has many shops and restaurants to enjoy on the waterfront less than 10 minutes away. We also enjoyed Visani's comedy club ½ mile from the condo. We can't wait to come back again. The owners are very good and easy to work with.

A Wonderful Vacation

The location is safe,peaceful and beautifully maintained.The owners Brad and Maureen were very attentive and helpful throughout our entire stay! We enjoyed some great seafood restaurants and sunsets,along with musical entertainment as well!We look forward to returning again soon!
A clean, comfortable condo at a good value
We enjoyed our stay in March 2016. It was very clean and nicely set up and worthwhile for the guests that we had visiting us.
The location was a little different than we expected. With the Punta Gorda address we thought we were on the other side of the river. This was our own fault as we did not explore a map to see that we were actually on the Port Charlotte side.
We drove over the bridge almost every day for walks and excursions. We especially liked Fisherman's Village, the farmers market on Sundays, and the music in Gilchrist Park on Tuesday/Thursday evenings. All the people in the complex were very friendly and we enjoyed greeting people who were out walking in the mornings.
We felt a bit isolated at this location. Directly across was basically empty lot, and there was a large amount of undeveloped area in the neighborhood. It was also farther than we expected from golfing opportunities and beaches.
A Couple of improvement notes:
The TV set up was disappointing. We are used to cable or dish TV. The setup had multiple stations, but viewing options were limited, at least compared to our normal habits. Some stations changed depending on the time of day and regular programming wasn’t always available. I would not rent another place that didn't have cable or dish.
The new tile in the living area is beautiful, but fresh carpeting in the bedrooms would be a big improvement. The online photos show lovely furniture, but it was disappointing that it was covered with slipcovers.
This was our first time spending a month someplace, so it was a learning experience. Our preference next time will be in a less isolated area with golf within walking distance and the gulf beaches within a few miles. We also need a place where we can house more than two guests as we have grandchildren.
We enjoyed the warm weather and the condo offered us a clean, comfortable home at a good value. The owner was very hands on and always easy to reach by phone.
