Rob and I were on vacation in August 2015, staying at Fisherman's Village. We had our 19' Chaparral with us so we decided to explore the canal homes. And so it begins. We had been to the west coast before and had hoped to retire to Marco Island some day. Until we saw Punta Gorda, and more specifically, Punta Gorda Isles. Canal homes (check), located near Historic Downtown (check), great non-chain restaurants (check), nightlife (check), small boutique shopping (check), and so on. We love the downtown area, as it provides the center for fantastic festivals, and all of the above, while remaining very charming and "old world Florida". And yes, we are just minutes away by car, bike or a nice stroll.
After exploring by boat, we called a Realtor. Went to view a few houses and found this one. Canal front, perfect size, on a cul-de-sac and just "the perfect Beach House".
And so our story in SW Florida begins. Many adventures to go, people to meet and friends to make.
