I am offering a 10% discount for reserving Jan Feb and Mar 2011. This is a $430 savings!! This cute little home booked early last year so don't lose out altogether and take advantage of an early booking Deal.

JUST OFF TAMIAMI TRAIL...
Lovely little cottage style home,exterior currently being painted and enhanced.

Central heat and air, ceiling fans throughout, attached carport, washer/dryer, Tile and carpet, sweetly decorated in a nautical/Florida cottage theme. Everything is included so there's nothing to do but unpack and enjoy your vacation. TV with lots of satellite channels (HBO, MAX, Starz and movie channel) also included. Backyard has a canal and although not suitable for boats or swimming, hosts great wildlife entertainment. Many native birds come to feed and sun. No gators as yet but plenty of turtles. Your small well-behaved pet is welcome with prior approval.

Got fish? Located minutes from Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf Coast, this area boasts some of the best fishing in the State of Florida as seen on many popular TV fishing shows.

Area Description

About the property and management:

Please be assured I am the sole owner of my properties which I purchased over 5 years ago. None of my homes are in any state of foreclosure or are they on some secret market for sale. I selected Charlotte County based on research and government PUBLISHED FACTS that the air quality exceeds national standards (a pleasure to breath), low crime rates, and a low-density population that is 97% Caucasian based. I have found the local residents to be courteous and friendly and the traffic more than tolerable. I can't imagine anything worse than showing up for your dream vacation and finding the home occupied by a new owner or worse yet, boarded up. Why not ask about the status of any home you are interested in renting?

I am personally available for any problems which might arise as are my staff of qualified technicians. Having recently retired with over 30 years in law enforcement, I feel my integrity and commitment are of the highest around.

Now the good stuff:

According to CNN Money 09.02.09-PORT CHARLOTTE IS THE #1 PLACE TO RETIRE IN THE USA!!! They cite a population of 48,000 with 44% over the age of 50, top notch medical facilities and a Cultural Center which offers year rounds classes on just about everything. Come and see what all the excitement is about!

A beautiful public beach complete with large and lovely well-maintained public pool is just 5 minutes away as well as a full-service library with multiple computer stations.

You will find 28 local marinas, 13 boat ramps some with recreational areas offering kayak or canoe rentals, picnic and playgrounds. There are 16 fishing piers for the non-boaters and plenty of charter boats to get you to your destination.

Don't miss the beautiful and romantic sunset cruises or take one of the 13 boat tours.

Charlotte Harbor Center spans 840 acres providing nature trails, picnic areas, a game preserve offering fishing, hunting, frogging and camping. Eco Tours has swamp buggy trips thru old Florida. There are 6 environmental parks for the nature lovers and a kayak adventure tour on the Blue Way Trail. There are 15 public beaches located along the 12.5 miles of the Gulf Coast.

Centrally located you have quick access to shopping, restaurants, Fisherman's Village for night life (Punta Gorda's just a shout away) and there are always plenty of weekend events and festivals year round. Disney is just 2.5 hours north. Take your motorcycle on a tour and drop by Gatorz which is just down the block and a popular hangout for all the yuppie bikers.

 Good deal, April 1, 2009
By Craig (Boston, MA)
Rented the property on Easy Street from Jonie. Very simple, but clean and close to everything. We were visiting friends in the area and just used the house to sleep. Much more comfortable and reasonable than a hotel.
 
 Port Charlotte Rental, March 3, 2009
By Jane Carmean (Maryland)
Great monthly rental. Good location. It is reasonably close to beaches and if someone is a fisherman would have lots of choices to go fishing. House has 2 bedrooms with a third room that could be used for another one if needed. Neighborhood is mixed retirees and blue collar workers and feels safe enough to walk and ride bikes even after dark. Services very close and lots of stores within 10 miles
Owner Supplied Testimonials
"The owner was very easy to work with. The home was more than we had hoped for and our dog enjoyed the vacation as much as we did. We enjoyed our time there and will be renting in the future. Highly recommend." Sherry & Greg
