Mar 6, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The host for this VRBO was outstanding. Excellent property. Very clean. It is a new build. I am not sure how new, I think my wife and I are one of the first or at least top 10 to rent. The decor is very well done. The amenities were perfect. It is very quiet neighborhood. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The parking is in the rear on a cement pad. I was unsure of the entry at first because you drive over a grassy area to access. Very close to many amenities. Great Ice cream less than 5 minute drive. Maybe a 10-15 minute walk. We drove. Working Cow Ice Cream. Highly recommend staying here. If we come back to Punta Gorda I would definitely rebook this. ##### Marc F. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2026
