"We arrived at Palm Villas at around 10pm after a long journey from the UK, the accommodation on first view was amazing. The photos that we had seen earlier did not do the property justice. The first thing we noticed in the morning was how quiet it was, went to the local 7/11 and were greeted so welcomingly. As the time went by we noticed that everyone was so nice. Peter kindly offered to take us out on his boat, which we all greatly enjoyed and our son especially enjoyed as peter very kindly let him drive the boat. Weather was amazing and even though we had some fabulous tropical storms the holiday was not dampened. Would recommend the local Baseball at Port Charlotte - this was a very cheap family night out most enjoyable. Anyway I cannot praise the property enough - the pool - well what can I say who doesn't like having there own pool to use whenever they chose. Amazing would highly recommend and would go back tomorrow. Was very sad that we had to leave. Looking at the possibility of going back next year all ready. Thank you to Peter and Stephanie for letting us have the privilege of using your beautiful home"

"We have had the most
amazing vacation!!! Your home is absolutely beautiful and much, much more
then we ever expected. There was not a single thing we were in need of.
It is so sad to leave as we made such great memories and felt so at home.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us .........we cannot stop
talking about all we did and the fun we all had thanks to your
recommendations. My husband got the fish he was hoping for and that just
made his day!"

"It did not take long to
feel right at home in this spacious, comfortable vacation home. Everything
you needed was provided! It was clean and well maintained. If there were any
issues (which there were not), contacts close by were provided to help you
out. You are close to the village, shopping, sightseeing and much more. It
was so pleasant to sit in the sun by the pool after golf/shopping and sip a
glass of wine with friends! We enjoyed the Fisherman's Village, lunch at The
Big Cheese and a walleye fry at the Elk's Lodge. We did not have time to
visit all the great restaurants in the area as there are many. Lots of room
and a lovely view on the canal. Hope to return!".

"We have stayed for a week at this beautiful villa. The first thing that impressed us was the cleanliness and standard of furnishings and it had every item you would need to feel home from home. The pool was exceptional, large with lots of pool toys and a lovely covered area to sit with fans and bbq and stereo. We did not see a sole our whole week it truly is a place to unwind and get away from everything but close enough to drive to some lovely beaches and plenty shops etc. Punta Gorda is very much an upscale/affluent area and everything appears new/well maintained in the area. We would definately return to the area and this villa".
Morris family, Scotland October 2012
"Booking the villa was easy, quick and straightforward, plenty of information given after the booking was confirmed. The villa was in a very relaxing and peaceful area by the lake, it was really quiet. There was lots of space in the villa and the pool is quite big, having both a shallow and deep end. The location was great for our family as we were able to travel to Miami, the Everglades, Boca Grande, Siesta Keys, Tampa, Bush Gardens, Shopping Malls and various other places quite easily. The best thing about the villa was the peaceful and private location with plenty of space".

"What a wonderful 3 weeks we have had! Extremely hot and sunny – excellent. Catfish are prevalent out at the dock but also saw rays and smallish tarpon. Would recommend Boca Grande for good beach fishing – also saw 7 manatees very close at Boca. Sunset cruise in the bay is great. The house have everything we could have wanted – clean, well equipped, and pleasant décor. Thanks to Peter and Stephanie for letting us use their beautiful home.

"We have had a lovely week here, the villa is absolutely great and the weather has been fabulous. We have enjoyed the ˝ day harbour cruise and particularly the Peace River Cruise – both with Kingfisher at Fisherman’s Village. We saw alligators, ospreys, dolphins, etc on the Peace River – delightful! Sanibel and the conservation centre there are worth a visit.

"We
have had a wonderful holiday and were fortunate to have 2 weeks of unbroken
sunshine and clear blue skies.This area
on the Gulf Coast is wonderful and so friendly (very different to the one day we
had on the Atlantic coast) with a laid back lifestyle. Definitely an area to
retire to and holiday many times, so hopefully we will back in the near future
(at Palm Villa if it is still available).
