We had a wonderful stay. We were questioning the listing since it included a hot tub and lanai. Neither of these were there?

Absolutely perfect!

Our family of 4 stayed here for Spring Break. This house was everything we needed and more. The location is in a quiet canal off a main road making it easy to get to, and close to grocery, gas etc. Also only a mile from Fisherman's village, easily walkable. The house itself is fully stocked with everything you might think you need, the couches and beds so comfy with large tvs in front of all of them. Interior was spotless and beautifully decorated. Honestly I wish we had stayed another week :)

Winter retreat

The location was near parks, the harbor, restaurants, shopping area & the downtown. The kitchen was well stocked, beds were excellent, & the house was clean. We expected to have a lanai & use of the pool, but were disappointed when we arrived to find no lanai. The street traffic in front of the house is very busy.

Why they chose this property

We love Punta Gorda. The airport is right there and little local bars and restaurants are all close. We enjoy the weather and also how nice the people are that we have met.
