Pool was very clean, as was the rest of the house. No problems. Communication with Jim and Linda from the booking process throughout the stay was exceptional. Highly recommended. My son and I rented a boat, and fished from the Peace River to the ICW along Boca Grande. Put 40 fish in the boat over 5 days. Used the house to cook breakfast and lunch, and dock the boat at. ##### Mark K. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff R., Wernersville Aug 22, 2018 #### Excellent Stay! We stayed at the Rio Plato Home before and absolutely enjoyed everything about it, especially how well we were treated by the owners, Jim & Linda. It was an easy decision to go back for this vacation and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing time with all the amenities. The Rio Plato is situated perfectly for enjoying a beautiful view of the canal while relaxing by the pool. Everything in the home is clean and well appointed. The owners take great pride in their rentals and it shows from the time you walk through the door until you leave. This home is in a cul-de-sac located in a very affluent and safe neighborhood. It is within a very short drive to anything you need, and Fisherman’s Village, which is an awesome place to visit. Punta Gorda itself is incredibly beautiful and the Isles where this home is located make this setting even more breathtaking. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for one of the greatest vacation experiences you can find, it truly is a gem. We are grateful that to have found wonderful people in Jim & Linda to make sure our stay is always first class! Jeff R. Pennsylvania ##### Jeff R. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marty P. Jul 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Location is everything. The rental is in a nice neighborhood and location. The location is very convenient. The house is older and feels chopped up. There are 2 sides to the house. The "master" side was separate from the other side of the house. The AC never seemed to work as well as the other side of the house. A little put off that I had to pay for additional guests (2 more) even though I rented the whole house and our party was normal at 5 adults. Only enough plate settings for 4\. Don't bother with the kayaks-not sure why they cost extra-they were very old and sized for children not adult men. We enjoyed our stay and the property manager gave a very very thorough briefing. House could use some updating. ##### Marty P. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Heather N. Jan 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely water views This property met most all of our needs, but could use some updates. Property manager was very friendly however had many “rules”. Not that we needed it, but don’t use the fireplace, don’t use disposal, don’t use kayaks in garage, don’t walk on seawall, don’t jump in pool. We signed a waiver of liability which should have covered all that. We asked if the ice maker worked and were told “I think so”, it did not. Ice trays were available but not enough to make enough ice for our family. There was a koureg but not a traditional coffee pot which is less ideal for a large group and our “older parents”. Dishwasher needs replacing And the can opener did not work at all. We paid to have the pool heated, but it was not actually heated warm enough to enjoy until the last day. The house was very spacious and comfortable . Overall we had a great experience. ##### Heather N.

The property is situated on a corner of the inland waterway system and gives fantastic views of boats passing, fish jumping and even a dolphin one day! It is brilliantly situated for a meal out in Town. The Tiki Bar is great! Well laid out, the property is comfortable and has a great lanai area by the pool, you can sit out at any time of day or late evening. The description of the property is reasonably accurate. Perhaps a little updating to decoration is about due. Electrical appliances are reasonably new and the villa is cleaned to a fair standard. The TV system could do with a set of instructions and a list of channels available (Free movies etc) would be useful. A telephone for local calls would be an advantage, many homes we have stayed in over the years have had a "trust" box next to them to cover costs. The master bedroom and bathroom are really comfortable, there were only two of us, so more than adequate. A few more plates in the cupboards in the kitchen/ dining area would have been nice, I would not have had to use the dishwasher every day! The cutlery went through the dishwasher before I would use it. During our visit, we saw the pool lady on one occasion, she spent about 5 minutes testing the water, poured in some chemicals and left. I cleaned the pool out myself! Didn't see a First Aid Kit, I may have missed it. I think we are being more than fair when saying that this is a good property with many things to recommend it to both couples and families and we would certainly bear it in mind should we return to Punta Gorda. I hope the things, however small, will be taken as constructive rather than criticism and would have no hesitation in recommending this villa to anyone. Easy to find, local to everywhere, Linda has a home from home for most! A small word of warning! Went to Harpoon Harrys at Fishermens Village, really not nice, and Laishleys Crab House, way over-priced, neither particularly clean!! ##### David H.

May 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanks The owner met us and gave us a walk through of the house upon our arrival. We had a pants belt stick under the agitator on the washer. Linda and her husband promptly came over and fixed the problem. We are impressed with how quickly they took care of this. It was so appreciated. Great vacation! ##### Marcia W. Stayed 14 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe T.
