We have stayed at many VRBO properties over many years, but this home in Punta Gorda ranks as the very best!! The house itself is beautiful, with every possible amenity— huge TVs with every option, tons of cooking equipment, beautiful pool/hot tub/lanai area, great canal location for watching boat traffic, comfortable living spaces, and wonderful beds! The neighborhood is a quiet residential one, perfect for walking, and with friendly neighbors. This was our first trip to the Punta Gorda area, and we found it to be perfect for relaxing—many lovely parks, good restaurant choices, and enough shops to make things interesting, without the crazy busyness of other Florida cities. Possibly the absence of a real beach here would be a detriment for some, but we enjoyed the walkable waterfronts without all the people.
Our month-long stay was at the very start of, and during, the Coronavirus quarantine, and we couldn’t have had a better place to shelter during this time. We cooked at home most evenings, but also got carry-out several times from restaurants we knew must be struggling during what would usually be their busiest season.
Randy was absolutely the most responsive owner with whom we’ve ever dealt! He always cheerfully answered our (many!) questions, and responded to our e-mails and phone calls immediately. The home has many hi- tech features that needed explanations, and he was wonderful to deal with in every respect.
This is truly a beautiful home, the neighborhood is wonderful, and the owner could not have been more accommodating. I highly recommend it!!
