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!
The house was spotless! Everything was fully stocked. Cynthia went way above and beyond to ensure we had what we needed. Beautiful space. Comfortable beds. High end furnishings. Can’t wait to go back!

Thank you, Cynthia
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 brought our 1 yr, 3yr, and 5yr olds with us and had a great time. The kids loved playing in the pool/covered lanai and the house was very clean and beautiful. Cynthia was a great host and very good with communication. We will be back!
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!

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.

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!!

Thank you, Cynthia
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!
Oh my goodness, where do I start? 5 Stars for sure
We can’t say enough good things about this amazing home and our trip to Punta Gorda. Beautiful furnishings, well appointed, more beautiful than photographed. Hosts were so very accommodating and responsive. Wonderful neighborhood, pool, hot tub, patio area were so relaxing. Great girls getaway. Can’t wait to come back.

Over the top Master Suite. The pool was kept at a comfortable 88 degrees. Very comfortable beds. Bunk bed room with games for the Grands. Lovely views from the Lanai. I want to go back
This house had EVERYTHING we needed and even some things we didn,t know we would need! From the comfortable rooms to the pool/hot tub, this house did not disappoint. The owners were very responsive in addressing any issues we had. The amenities were numerous! We will definitely be returning.
This is a SUPER house and is stocked with everything imaginable - we kept thinking we would not find something we needed, but it was always there! Cynthia is extremely responsive to any questions or issues; I am already counting on a return trip!

This property is BEAUTIFUL and so well kept up. The owners are extremely sweet and understanding. We had an amazing time with friends and it was a kid friendly house which can be hard to find! So much space for everyone and was so so clean! We will definitely be staying here again!! My husband and his friends also really enjoyed fishing the canal that butts up to the house. The location is wonderful. We can’t say enough good things!
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.
