Nestled in Punta Gorda, this lovely house for $325 per night is a great option for your next trip. Welcome to Sea Glass Retreat! We would love to share our home-away-from-home with you! Being that this is our second home, we take pride in well-maintaining the home, and respecting our neighbors. For this reason, we must stress that this is not a "party house", and therefore you must be 30+ to rent our home. In turn, I feel I should also add that while families are welcome, due to glass top tables, the pool, dock and canal, as well as our location being a street (not a cul-de-sac), our home is not suited for children under the age of 13. Security for our home and our renters is a top priority, so we have live security cameras that monitor only the outside perimeter of the home without , in any way, infringing on renter privacy inside the house or the pool area. If you submit your rental request today, before you know it, you will be relaxing by the pool in the large screened-in lanai overlooking the canal with it's easy access to Peace River/Charlotte Harbor (125 miles of pristine boating water) w/ access to the Gulf of Mexico. Dolphins, manatee, stingray, sharks, beautiful water birds and other wildlife have been known to frequent our canals. You can also fish directly from our dock. We are located in the heart of beautiful Punta Gorda Isles, minutes from downtown Punta Gorda and Fisherman's Village (with it's charter boats, quaint shops, open-air restaurants and bars). Two bicycles are provided for you to take a peaceful ride down to the wharf or explore beautiful, historic downtown Punta Gorda. Directly across the street from our home is the Punta Gorda Nature Park with it's quiet walking path on a 1/2 mile loop. Educational signs allow you to spot and identify various plants, birds, insects and more! In our 2300 sq foot home, you will enjoy vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan that has large zero-edge glass sliders allowing for fantastic indoor/outdoor living between the lanai and main areas of the home. The lanai has an outside, air-conditioned 1/2 Bathroom, pool (4ft to 5 1/2ft deep, so NO diving allowed) with beautiful LED lights at night (can possibly be heated for additional charge during winter months), extended patio area for sunning, a covered dining area and an outdoor shower spray to rinse off after swimming or a day on the water. It's the perfect spot to relax with a cocktail, read a book, or simply enjoy time with family and friends. A paver walkway has been installed leading from the lanai to the 30ft wide cement dock area. Feel free to grab a fishing pole and tackle box from the garage and fish from the dock. (See pictures). The Master Suite includes access to the lanai, king bed, TV, walk in closet, and master bath with garden tub, door-less glass walk-in shower, double sinks, sit down vanity area and private water closet. On the opposite side of the house are the additional 2 bedrooms with large closets, TV's with Roku and a queen size bed in each room. Next to the guest bedrooms you will find the 2nd full bathroom with double sinks and walk in shower. Need additional sleeping space?
