This rental was clean and just as described. We were only in the area for a couple of days and it was just big enough for the three of us. A couple things: You cannot really fish very well in the canal. It's very shallow especially during low tide. I also made the mistake of not having the pool heated. I incorrectly thought mid-April would be warm enough but the pool was freezing and not swimmable for me. My 10 year son did get in for a while but it was even cold for him. Also FYI, the pictures look as if there is a hot tub and it is not. It's a water feature but we really liked it and it was relaxing to listen to. It was a nice place to stay.
Laundry, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, pool, waterfront, kitchen....$650 for 3 nights....you won't get that at any hotel so we have no legitimate complaints. But for the sake of setting expectations, below is some good things to know. This served as a great home base for nearby activities. The showers were nice. The kitchen was great for making pizzas but could use more kitchen ware for more intricate meals. We used the pool as more of a place to cool off after a long day of being outside than something to swim in per say. It was pretty small and relatively chilly (it's unheated and has No hot tub). The patio and its furniture was great for hanging out on however. They probably won't put the money into getting rid of the sand burs, but they should put some more tiles outside to walk on. Don't let your kids walk on the grass. The no see-ums kept us inside after sunset, which was probably our biggest complaint, because the "patio" was extrnemly enjoyable to hang out on, as it had great furniture. We enjoyed the canal and put our kayaks in off the dock. We caught jack and snook right off the dock. The third bedroom is probably best for 2 tiny kids at best, maybe your son or daughter that isn't too picky, but definitely not 2 grown adults.....that is probably why the listing says occupation cycle 6 (4 adults). Overall it was great for us and I would go here again.
Loved taking an early morning and late night swim after a hot day of sightseeing in Punta Gorda. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
The home was perfectly clean
The layout was perfect for me and my parents. They took the master suite and I had a bedroom/ bathroom at the opposite end of the house. The pool was clean and inviting. Overall great place.
