We really enjoyed out stay at this rental house in Port Charlotte in February 2017. It had all the amenities of home including beach towels, beach chairs, a heated pool (80-85 degrees), well stocked kitchen, and lots of extras like a sound system that works off CDs or an Ipod. There are fans in each room and TVs in each bedroom, the living room and family room. Good DVD library and games too. The location is only 8 minutes from Port Charlotte Mall, 20 minutes to Port Charlotte beach (where you can rent kayaks), and 30 minutes to Englewood Beach. My husband fished off the dock on the canal and caught some nice fish. We also enjoyed walking in the neighborhood which has very littel traffic. If you need to work while away, there is a nice office area off the living room with hard wire to the internet (although the wifi worked great too.) We plan to come back next winter!
