About the host
Hosted by Dave and Sandy Flatum

We are retired and living in western Wisconsin. We enjoy fishing, hunting, and relaxing by the lake or the pool.
Why they chose this property
We have been looking for our perfect vacation/retirement home on the Gulf side of Florida for 10+ years. We finally found the perfect home for us and the perfect location. We have always wanted to be on a salt water canal with Gulf access and of course with a pool. After the closing we sat down by the pool and felt so relaxed we didn't want to go back north. (unfortunately we can't stay all year quite yet)
What makes this property unique
This home is in a quiet neighborhood with great neighbors. Everything you could need is convenient and close. There are so many directions you can go to explore and most are within a two hour drive. Interstate 75 and Highway 41 (Tamiami Trail)
are close. Just an hour away you can catch the ferry in Ft. Myers and go to Key West or Marco Island. Travel just north to Tampa and visit the zoo or spend the day at Busch Gardens. Orlando is just under 3 hours away. We have three international airports so you can always find a spot to land. Punta Gorda has a small awesome airport 20 miles away if you fly Allegient or Sun Country.
