The property is situated on a corner of the inland waterway system and gives fantastic views of boats passing, fish jumping and even a dolphin one day! It is brilliantly situated for a meal out in Town. The Tiki Bar is great! Well laid out, the property is comfortable and has a great lanai area by the pool, you can sit out at any time of day or late evening. The description of the property is reasonably accurate. Perhaps a little updating to decoration is about due. Electrical appliances are reasonably new and the villa is cleaned to a fair standard. The TV system could do with a set of instructions and a list of channels available (Free movies etc) would be useful. A telephone for local calls would be an advantage, many homes we have stayed in over the years have had a "trust" box next to them to cover costs. The master bedroom and bathroom are really comfortable, there were only two of us, so more than adequate. A few more plates in the cupboards in the kitchen/ dining area would have been nice, I would not have had to use the dishwasher every day! The cutlery went through the dishwasher before I would use it.
During our visit, we saw the pool lady on one occasion, she spent about 5 minutes testing the water, poured in some chemicals and left. I cleaned the pool out myself! Didn't see a First Aid Kit, I may have missed it.
I think we are being more than fair when saying that this is a good property with many things to recommend it to both couples and families and we would certainly bear it in mind should we return to Punta Gorda. I hope the things, however small, will be taken as constructive rather than criticism and would have no hesitation in recommending this villa to anyone. Easy to find, local to everywhere, Linda has a home from home for most!
A small word of warning! Went to Harpoon Harrys at Fishermens Village, really not nice, and Laishleys Crab House, way over-priced, neither particularly clean!!
