We wanted quuet, comfort, and a restful weekend. This is a nearly remote wateefront setting, no shortage of nice details a d natural beauty. Be prepared for extra drive time, as it can take 20 minutes or so to reach traffic, noise, resources, Nothing wrong with that! We brought along drinking water, which we prefer to well water. Host was very responsive, offered great foodie info, and we really enjoyed this beautufully renovated home. Well worth finding!
Mike was great to communicate with prior to and throughout our stay. The house was fantastic and we def plan to return! We had a blast catching lots of fish off the dock and it was the perfect place to relax before heading home. We loved it! Thanks Mike!
Mike was the perfect host .the house was wunderbar absolutely perfect.my family enjoyed it tremendously.would recommend this property.thanks again for a great stay.
We enjoyed the quiet, but if you want to be near any action, this might not be the place for you. Easy to get to, but definitely not next to anything--restaurants and shopping are 20 minutes away or more and beaches are farther. Bed was comfy, shower is nice and big. Washer did not work, but owner replaced it as soon as possible.
Very nice quiet area. House has recently been remodeled
Very nice house. Quiet neighborhood, lots of room. Owner attended to any problems quickly and was truly concerned that it was taken care of. Would definitely recommend to any one
We absolutely loved this 2 bedroom home. Everything was done beautifully. Our son walked in an said it feels like home. We ate out in the screened in porch. And played cards later.
Perfect.
Beautiful area for walking or a bike. Well equipped home on a beautiful canal. Friendly neighbors. Egrets, storks, armadillos, tortoises, and wild pigs are great to see. Short drive to Punta Gorda sights and good restaurants. Try Carmelos Italian restaurant .
Everything seems new in the house. It was perfect for what we needed. Slight problem with the water heater but we leave early in the morning and come home exhausted, so we didn't make a big deal. Mike was responsive, and would've had the handyman over, but with our short stay, we were fine. Would stay there again.
Comfortable home with newly updated beautiful floors and bathrooms. The backyard view from patio and dock is very peaceful, lots of birds and enjoyed watching the local alligator swimming nearby. We rented a canoe thru Canoe Outpost Peace River in Arcadia who dropped us at Brownville station for an 8 mile paddle back to Arcadia outpost; beautiful weather and lots of wildlife. Lots of antique shopping in downtown Arcadia, and Punta Gorda is close by to the south of the property with a variety of restaurants, shopping and good view of the sunset. Solomon's Castle (northwest of Arcadia) offers a very unique and interesting tours of their family property. After you work up an appetite on your tour, be sure to enjoy lunch at the Boat in the Moat Restaurant which offers indoor seating and a large shady patio for outdoor preference. Loved listening to Steve's music while enjoying our delicious lunch.
Michael (owner) was connected and very accessible for questions. The only downside is the property could use some TLC and more attention to cleanliness, details of which I messaged to Michael. Hopefully, there will be a great improvement in this area for future renters. Overall, we enjoyed our weekend getaway. Thank you, Michael.
Host is awesome really cares about his guests stay. Canât say enough good things about host
House is beautiful neighborhood is wonderful
Very pet friendly
This home is in a great country neighborhood. Ideal for walking, biking and seeing wildlife. Screened back porch has a nice view and breeze overlooking canal. Nice size dock for fishing and boating. We put our boat on lift and got out to peace river quickly, absolutely beautiful. Water in canal is low in winter so plan boating around high tides. Neighbors are super friendly. House has nice tile flooring throughout, updated bathrooms and spacious kitchen. Good parking, AC works excellent and beds are really comfortable.
When I walked into the house I took my shoes off out of respect to the property owner. The floor was gritty to my feet. I put my shoes back on. The screen porch had what looked like some kind of an animal fur along the base boards. Not sure what that was about. The bed in the second bedroom was so high that we had to get a chair from the dinning room so my sister could get into it. Some of the linens on the beds were torn.
We were only given two towels each for our stay. There were no wash cloths.
The closets in the bedrooms were full of stuff. Didnât even want t hang any clothes in them.
Cleanliness was missing in the whole house. This was my sisters first trip to Florida and I wanted a VRBO that would be memorable for her. This house was memorable in a bad way.
Hubby and I came for a little fishing getaway. House was on a nice canal in a good neighborhood. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. Home could use a little bit more cleaning and updating but what they have done so far is nice! Having use of the dock was great and Iâm sure will be even better when the boat lift is available. Thank you for a great stay!!
Furnishings inside this house are new an comfortable living room everything the layout was perfect beautiful setting on a channel sit back on the dock watch the sun go down or up thereâs tortoises walk around this neighborhood I thought that was cool also people in this neighborhood waved at you I couldnât believe how many people actually waved at me as I was entering and exiting the neighborhood itâs everything that the house manager says it is an more!!!!!! I will definitely return. THANKS!!!!!!!
Me and my friends enjoyed our stay very much although the weather was really bad most of the time! The house was great we showed up to a clean house with everything all set up. Also the check in process was extremely simple and super easy to communicate with!
We had a small snafu & Michael responded immediately, even though it was a holiday (Easter Sunday) and it was resolved in minutes. We will definitely be back.
The house is exactly as advertised. I like how all the light switches are labeled. We were able to cook breakfast with the pans & utensils supplied. Our son even took a quick kayak ride. The neighbors were friendly too (unusual for a VRBO house). The TV could be challenging if not a techy person but we did just fine with it (other than not having Fox live tv for a sporting event we wanted to watch).
My only suggestion is to put more pillows in the master bedroom. 2 standard size pillows on a king bed is not enough. We are used to 2 pillows per person or at least one king sized pillow per person.
