Pet Friendly Canal Front 3-Bedroom Grand Villa with Pool, Linai and Dock

We traveled from Maine where night temperatures were in the single digits. Needless to say the soft humidity and gentle temperatures of Florida in January were lovely. It is close to many great places to visit, which we loved. This house on the canal was inviting and allowed for maximum relaxation. The row of windows facing the canal were glorious and the feathered visitors were fabulous. A bird refuge is close by which is a huge plus. Everything was clean and the owner reached out to us soon after our arrival to make sure we lacked nothing. Rain or shine, we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property.

The house is wonderful-no complaints. We arrived late at night and found it fairly easily. Bigger street numbers might have been a little helpful and possibly the porch light left on. If we had realized that Florida recycles in a dedicated bin from the outset of our stay, it would have been a little helpful, but we adjusted easily once we figured it out. All in all we loved every minute!

Everything

The pool was on cold side

Size and layout of the property. Nice property but you will need a vehicle to get around .

The pool was not protected by bug netting despite the pictures showing it so we had to clean the pool of dead bugs /leaves etc each day before use . Not sure why the netting was removed as it was originally installed . Put the wife off from using the pool .

The home was a nice short 15-20 minute drive to the ocean and grocery stores. The house was very clean. The pool was a great temperature and clean. They included pool floats, beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels. Overall, a great place to stay!

We were disappointed that the Lanai was not there (most likely from the hurricane) - this could have been mentioned or updated, and it would have been super nice to open the living room doors when it was cool outside. The ice maker in the fridge did not work. However, they did have ice cube trays available.

The property was well furnished and the kitchen was fully equipped. It had beautiful views over the water. lots of towels for pool use and easy instructions to gain entry! Nice and comfy beds!

after a long drive it would of been nice to come into beds made up. We had to make the beds and master room sheets had a tear in them. clearly due to storm Ian the lani around the pool area had blown down which meant we couldn’t sit out at night due to getting bitten alive by mosquitoes and we had to give the pool a skim in the morning to get rid of bugs!

We really enjoyed staying at this awesome home with a great floor plan, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything we needed. We very much enjoyed swimming in the heated pool, and watching fish jumping in the canal. Perfect place to set back, forget your worries, and enjoy the warm Port Charlotte winter weather.

Cannot think of anything we did not like.

This is a beautiful property, nestled on the end of a canal. It was incredible having a cup of coffee while watching the sun rise over the pool and canal, in the back. You can't beat the price.

It was a bit far from Port Charlotte proper, but there are plenty of amenities nearby, if your purpose is for leisure.
