CANAL HOME! WARM PRIVATE POOL! FAMILY MEMORIES! WIFI! GRILL! BABY SUPPLIES!

This home has a great layout with the Master on the opposite end of the house from the other two bedrooms. The home has a nice quality feel to it with many extras like separate pantries off the kitchen, skylights, the dining room and family room have sliding glass doors that slide away to a screened in lanai and walk in closets in all three bedroom. The kitchen is at the center of it all, overlooking the family room & TV, the lanai, the pool and the canal. You will enjoy this wonderful kitchen that allows you a view of everything and contains all the tools you will need for your drinks and meals.
The master suite has a king bed with new mattress, memory foam topper and cotton quilt with blue nautical stripes. The private bath features a large shower, storage under sink, large mirror with beautiful tile. The master has a walk in closet, dresser, media table with TV and cedar chest. On the opposite end of the house are two more bedrooms with a shared bathroom across the hall. One has a queen bedroom set with matching dresser and nightstands. The third bedroom has twin beds, memory foam toppers, with matching dresser and nightstand. All the bedrooms have TV's, walk in closets and beautiful, colorful coastal quilts.
On a canal with dock and lift, just 10 min from the Charlotte Harbor, this vacation home offers great fishing, sites with wild life and comfort. The home is very spacious with sky lights and tall ceilings all freshly painted with new contemporary luxury furnishings for your every want and need. You are near so great restaurants, shops of every kind, beaches and entertainment. Four flat screened TVs and WiFi connect you to the media. Your oversized 2 car garage keeps your vehicles protected from the sun. Near you is the harbor where beaches, parks, water views are only minutes away. You may not want to leave the lanai! It is spacious offering a great place to dine, grill, play games and hang out overlooking the solar and electric heated pool and the canal. You also may fish, go boating or simply enjoy the sunsets as the lanai faces west. Most of the restaurant chains that Florida has to offer are within a 5 min. car ride. There are many wonderful seafood restaurants on the water. Fisherman's village in Punta Gorda is 10-15 min. away as are many more restaurants and attractions. In less than an hour you can go south as far as Ft. Myers and north as far as Sarasota and there are miles and miles of beaches in between. Englewood is only 20 to 30 min. away making Port Charlotte a great, less populated less congested home base for exploration..

We had a great stay, owner and property were very accommodating, better than we had imagined.

Normally we stay in Englewood, but this was a great change of scenery. Very close to all amenities. The home was huge and very accommodating. We loved the quick access to Port Charlotte Harbor as we boated everyday of our trip. We will be back and be sure to recommend this property to our friends.

So relaxing!

We enjoyed the house and the pool! We barely spent time in the house other than to sleep. The dock was relaxing and we enjoyed watching the fish and other wildlife!! We had a few questions and the property manager got back to me promptly and all was taken care of. Would definitely stay here again!!

It was a great stay! Only thing is hot water in the master bath wasn’t very hot, and did not last long. We used the other shower for the most part! But the home was very nice! Enjoyed the pool! The home had everything needed! We would stay again! The owners and property manager were very helpful!

Relaxation plus!

The first couple of weeks was some of the best weather I have ever had there. No rain but it was hot. I had such a relaxing vacation. I read a ton of books and floated in the pool. Looking forward to returning next year!

Great Florida Vacation

Just what we were looking for in the area we wanted to be.The property was wonderful and the owners were extremely attentive to our needs. As exampled by the fact that we had an issue with the on site BBQ and they replaced it with a new one within hours. The pool was clean and heated to perfection. The unit was furnished well with all of the amenities that one would need. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing and not far from all of the necessary services for everyday living. We would highly recommend this property and would stay there again in the future.

Great property for family vacation!

The house was great except for a couple things like the door handle to leave the pool to walk to the canal was broken & the dining room fan just wouldn’t turn on but those things did not affect our stay at all. It was a great clean home with lots of room, a lovely pool & even though my son is 6 I really appreciated their baby proofing around the pool. The gulf was about 30-40 minutes away depending on what beach you wanted to go to. Our family will definitely be considering using this house again for another vacation!

Punta Gorda water front home.

The pictures didn't lie on this one. The house was very nice. The furniture was nice with plenty for larger families or multiple couples. The home was very nicely appointed and just felt comfortable. Pool area was beautiful and plenty of room in the sun or shade with the veranda. Unfortunately there a lot of things that keep this from getting 5 stars. They patio doors were difficult to open. The pool was freezing cold because the heater didn't work. Never got to use it which was one of the reasons we chose it. The dishwasher racks have the propensity to just keep rolling out of the washer because they are missing parts. Nearly had some disasters when they were loaded with dishes. There were a lot of little bugs that seemed to like the refrigerator area. You were only left with one garbage bag and no cleaning supplies. Since you are instructed to remove all of your food and eating supplies there are no spices and such for cooking. You have to buy them then either take them home or throw them away. For us the beauty of the home isn't enough to make us want to come back.

Perfect family vacation

Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your vacation home. It was absolutely perfect for our family and so well stocked. We had an amazing time and made so many new and lasting family memories. The beaches are so close to the property it made it a breeze to visit eighth beaches while we were there, and then it was great to come home rinse off and enjoy the pool and dock. My husband and son caught several fish from the dock including a young Bull shark which we caught and released. Every restaurant we ate while we were there was great with great food and friendly staff. Big D’s doughnuts by far the best doughnuts we have ever had. Thank you again for your hospitality we hope to stay here again in the future.

Another Great Stay at Ray of Sunshine!

We have stayed at this home many times over the years and love it! The house is spacious and clean, and the outdoor space is spectacular! We swam several times a day and ate every meal outside. The optional safety gate around the pool gives us great peace of mind with two 4 year olds. My son loves fishing off the dock too. Very close to Fisherman's Village, shopping, restaurants and the airport. It is home away from home and is our 'go to' rental when visiting my son and family in Florida!
