The unit was in the low end of cost for the area, so I wasn't expecting much. It was comfortable enough, but just screaming for some renovation - like ceramic tile flooring that doesn't get impacted by flooding like wood or wood composite floors do. This unit had the cheap fake wood throughout that isn't doing well, most likely due to water seeping in from at least the last hurricane. But for the price, I can't really complain. When I stay at a Budget Inn, I also don't complain that it isn't a Marriott. The location is nice, though. It's only a 5-minute walk to Fisherman's Village, which is where I walked in the mornings to get coffee, even though the house had a coffee maker, filters, and actually coffee. I didn't like that I couldn't, or couldn't figure out how, to get local/network TV stations. I could only get the Netflix, etc., stations that come with the new TVs. Other than that, the place is just a bit old and outdated with the flooring being the biggest issue and a transition piece between living room and kitchen area that was loose, easy to trip over. But lots of couch space and overall, a comfortable stay. Just don't expect updated and fancy and you'll be fine!

Hi Greg, we’re sorry to hear your stay did not meet your expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- We strive to provide our guests with a great guest experience, so we were disappointed to hear your feedback.
- We encountered some challenges following the significant storm, and we're currently collaborating with a company to address any flooring issues. However, the passage of time and logistical complexities continue to present obstacles even now, long after the storm. We truly sorry this had a negative impact on your stay.
- There are icons/apps on the smart TVs specifically for local news. We wish you had reached out during your stay, we would have been more than happy to help.
We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests
The house was clean and well kept. The neighborhood was quaint.

My family was on spring break and looking for a place with proximity to several spring baseball stadiums, (close to Fort Myers) which is what this house provided as expected. What we were most pleasantly surprised by was how much we loved Punta Gorda itself! It has such cute parks, a military museum, and great restaurants, which were all very near to this home. Only wish there had been a second bathroom.
