Amazing views and quiet location. Beautiful house, it has everything you need and could need. Perfect, nice and helpful host. We would definitely rent again. Thank you Joan!

We live in the Tampa area and booked this location for a family getaway close to home. It is a really good location, in a quiet community, right on the water. The pool was a decent size and seemed well-maintained. It only went up to 6ft deep, which was convenient for us. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool and fishing from the dock. We caught catfish, snapper, bass, leatherjacket, and sheephead. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. She met up with us when we arrived and showed us the house and how everything works. She also gave us some information on the area. The house was well stocked, including plenty of towels, sunblock, and bug spray. While we had our fishing poles with us, she did have some available as well. There were not a lot of house rules, and checkout was easy. FYI, if you have a boat, you may want to talk to the owner beforehand, as the boat lift was rented out when we were there. It did not matter to us since we did not bring a boat.

We loved this place. My wife, mother (and small dog) and I stayed here for 8 days. The place was well maintained and perfectly located to Punta Gorda, Venice and Ft. Myers which were all destinations for us. Joan met us on day 1 and was available to provide local information as simple as dinner recommendations. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Joan for the hospitality.
