Beautiful waterfront home in Port Charlotte Beach Park Complex

Thank you Sarah for the great review. We would love to host your family again. Thank you for choosing El Sol Naciente

Thanks Marcia, It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. Guests like you make this end of vacation rentals both fun and easy. So happy you had a great time and that we could help. We welcome you back anytime, Dwight

Thank you Linda. What a great family to have as guests in our home. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I look forward to seeing you all again. Kind Regards, Dwight & Maria

Thank you very much or your kind words. We have always tried to provide those unique and special amenities that most home owners do not. I am so happy you had a great vacation, we hope you return soon! Dwight Anders

Thanks for staying in our home and the kind review. Thank you also for the non stick pan. We will leave it in our home for your next stay and for others that may prefer to use it. We chose to to go with the stainless multi-clad cookware for the superior cooking features and the health benefits it provides over non-stick cookware. Lower heat is the key to cooking with all-clad cookware. It was a pleasure meeting you both. Kind Regards, Dwight

Thank you Josh & Christine, It was great having you as our guest. It is a great pleasure when we meet families like your's. Let us know when you guys need your next down time or maybe to find a place down her of your own. From the bottom of our hearts, Thanks for your service to this great country and it's people. Mahalo

I hesitated to respond to this review. As can be seen from our other 24 reviews, I attempt to provide the best vacation home in Port Charlotte. I contacted this guest many times to determine any special needs or requests. I also use this communication to get the guest’s preferred house code. Eventually, I just had to leave a message with a code of our choosing, so they could get in. We do have a child carrier, but we don't always keep it there if there are no children staying at our home. One bike had a loose seat. The seats are adjustable and can be loosened or tightened by flipping a lever. One bike had a flat tire. There is an air compressor, tools and spare inner tubes next to the bikes. The important missing piece of the beach umbrella slides inside the umbrella tube for storage. This was there. How many owners even provide beach umbrellas, beach chairs, coolers, wagons, bikes, kayaks, tennis, basketball, volleyball, bocce set, fishing equipment and much more? We always give our home a thorough cleaning before each new guest's arrival. Ants can be a problem, especially during the rainy season as they look for higher ground when their nests are flooded. We apply an exterior perimeter treatment as we do not want to use poisons inside our home when possible. We use natural pest control whenever possible. Outside porches are not the easiest to keep totally bug free. As far as the other cleaning and odor issues, when we arrived at our home after they left, we were taken back by the odor and condition of our home. We found several soiled diapers under pillows and in beds. We found food in every room all over the house, including uneaten sandwiches and plates of food left under blankets and sheets in the beds. It took us hours to clean and deodorize our home. We used commercial ozonators and ended up replacing several pillows and blankets instead of trying to wash them. I hate to respond to any of my guest's reviews in a negative way, but I felt I had to address the review for any of my potential future guests. Even though this was a 4-star review and many owners are happy with 4-stars, please read our other reviews for, what I believe, a more accurate review of our home. Thanks for reading this and I hope this does not come across like I am an "angry old man" if mid 50's is old. Regards, Dwight

Thank you for your kind review. We always appreciate great guests. Thanks for leaving our home in such good shape! We welcome you back anytime.

Thank you very much for your kind review. By far, one of the best families that we have ever rented to! Great communication, friendly, very clean and very appreciative. They left our home in immaculate condition. Due to Covid-19, I did not get the chance to meet them personally, I hope to sometime in the future. You are definitely welcome to come back as guests anytime! Thank you again.

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and thanks for your kind words. It is hard not to fall in love with this area! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay.

Thank you David for your kind words! I love to hear that our guest's expectations have been met or surpassed. We too love it when we have guests like you. It has been our pleasure to have you as our guest. I am also glad to hear that my coffee exceeded your expectations too. Welcome back anytime!

Thank you Shannon for your kind words! We are always happy when our efforts are recognized and appreciated by our guests and friends, and many of our guests have become friends. Guests like you make our job much easier. I am glad to hear that everything was to your liking and we really hope that we get to see you again. Contact me the next time that you visit our area. Kind Regards, Dwight

Cliff, Thank you for nice review. It was great meeting you and your wife. We have always attempted to keep our home updated. We choose to repair or replace before it looks "worn out" and we appreciate when our guests notice and appreciate this effort. We always look forward to hearing our guests impressions and take any suggestions very seriously. This is what helps us keep our home "5 Stars!" Thanks Again, Dwight

Thank you Lou Ann and Barbara, It was a pleasure meeting you both and having you stay as our guests. We always enjoy having great guests like you. I hope you had a safe trip home and we look forward to seeing you again next year! Kind Regards, Dwight

Hello, I am sorry we only earned 4 stars. Unfortunately, I have no control over the red tide and the county park schedules. There was no red tide in the water around our house or at our local beach though. The red tide stayed about 15-20 miles away on the Gulf beaches, thankfully! I am happy that our home and the items I can control were to your satisfaction. Thank you for staying with us on your vacation! Dwight Edit: James responded to my email stating that we were sorry we did not earn a 5 star review from him. His response: "Your hospitality and the house were a 5 star, maybe we recieved bad info,(about where the Red Tide was) we drove over to manasota key and there were alot of dead sea creatures over there with the red tide warnings too." Manasota Key is 25 miles from our home and understandably when families come down to Florida on vacation and there are dead fish on the Gulf Beaches, it makes for a "not so nice visit". Our local Charlotte Harbor beach has remained clean during this Red Tide outbreak.

Thank you Ryan, It was our pleasure having you and thank you for leaving our home in such perfect condition! It was very nice meeting you both. Please contact me if you ever want to visit SW Florida again. Kind Regards, Dwight Anders
