My wife and I stayed here with our 4-year-old daughter for 4 nights in late MAR 2019 while visiting family in nearby Port Charlotte.
The owners, Brian & Sandy, are so friendly and really made our stay pleasant. They were especially patient/friendly with our very talkative daughter.
Things we liked:
-This unit is above the owner's garage, and they live in the adjacent home, but we still felt like we had a lot of privacy.
-The unit was very clean and plenty of towels, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. were provided.
-Both the AC and heat worked well and we were always comfortable temp-wise.
-The wifi worked well (there are 3 TVs but we never turned them on our entire stay, so I can't comment on that).
-The king bed was extremely comfortable.
-We appreciated the black-out curtains in the bedrooms and our daughter used the step-stool for the sink, which helped quite a bit.
-Nice touch to have a washer/dryer within the unit.
Things that could be improved:
**Please note that I've awarded 5 stars, so these are just very minor suggestions**
-Shower water pressure was on the weak side.
-Since there is just one bathroom, it would be nice to have a 2nd mirror somewhere else in the unit.
-The light switches were kind of confusing to try and figure out what operated what, so it might help to label some of them.
-The ceiling fan in the living room wobbled quite a bit, so we just kept it off (temps were fine without it).
-The freezer was kind of loud at times...it could have been the ice maker; not sure.
-We knew this going in and it wasn't an issue for us, but there is just a small table and small breakfast bar in the kitchen...not a lot of space for preparing/eating a 'big family meal.'
Other notes:
-The property is gated at the driveway, so you are given a remote to operate the gate along with the key to the rental unit.
-The owners have 4 dogs, 2 cats and a chicken coup, but none were an issue our entire stay and all were friendly (dogs/cats were kept in the house).
-There is a Winn-Dixie at the corner of 17 and Bermont Rd which we found very convenient.
-Even though the home is just a couple miles from 17, it feels very rural and there are no street lights on Bermont or Grovewood, making it kind of difficult to navigate in the dark.
-The home is close to the Punta Gorda airport, so be prepared to hear those Allegiant planes, even as late as midnight :-)
