WELCOME TO PUNTA GORDA ISLES
This sun-soaked ranch with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 1 half bath, large open-concept living-kitchen-dining spaces is perfect for gathering with family and friends.
Gorgeous lanai overlooks a gulf-access canal basin and you are just minutes out to Charlotte Harbor by boat and just a 30 minute boat ride to Boca Grande. Dressed with stone, a heated inground salt water pool (electric heater), and spa area within the pool to relax and enjoy, this picture-perfect outdoor space feels like your own personal resort! See fish daily, the occasional manatee or turtle right off the dock.
Enjoy easy outdoor dining with covered lanai seating, a nice-sized propane gas grill, and outdoor countertop with sink and small refrigerator! After dinner, walk down to the waterfront, an oversized dock to enjoy drinks and picture-perfect sunsets. Backyard also features fenced in area for kiddos to play, which can easily be seen while sitting in the lanai or on the dock. Extra seating patio just outside the lanai to really be able to soak up the sun.
You’ll want to spend every minute outside basking in the sun, playing in the pool, and making new memories.
Conveniently located near the Fisherman’s Village (5–7-minute drive, or lovely 20–30-minute walk) or travel by boat from the dock area. Fisherman’s Village is a magical destination of this own, where you can get coffee, ice cream, go shopping, and dine at one of the 5+ restaurants. Live entertainment is offered frequently in Fisherman’s Village and features a nice white sand beach to watch the sunset.
Boat and jet ski rentals just near the home or book a charter fishing excursion on the gulf and our guide picks you up in the morning from the dock of our home. Downtown Punta Gorda also features many restaurants and shopping experiences, it’s like a hallmark town! All of this with in minutes of our home.

DOCK/WATERFRONT USE & RULES
The boat (in pictures) is not available for use or rent. We do allow boats (rental or owned) to be parked at or tied to our dock. A charter can pick up and drop off at the dock. The fee for a boat on to be parked and tied up to the dock is $400 per week. Great waterfront area for drinks and sunsets.

ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE PLAN FEE:
$79 Fee added to all bookings for accidental damage protection, as offered by VRBO and through CSA Travel Plans. If any item or appliance breaks during your stay, this policy reimburses the owner for repair or replacement costs, up-to $3000. Please notify host of any damaged or broken items before check-out. As noted under “guest count” an additional refundable security deposit may also be requested.
CLEANING SERVICE FEE:
$495 per stay, charged at booking.
ELECTRICAL USAGE:
We typically do not charge an electrical usage deposit; however, we will communicate with renters via VRBO for any days flagged by the Electric Co as “high usage” days so that adjustments can be made. Our typical occupied kWh usage daily is 60-80; we get alerted for any days over 90kWh. The leading cause is turning the A/C too low (it is set at 72*) and/or leaving windows and doors open with the A/C running.
