Relaxing family Vacation In Punta Gorda

Proud Grandparents Wimborne, Dorset, UK
Review Submitted: November 4, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
We have recently spent two fantastic weeks in this superb house on Shell Creek with our two daughters, sons-in Law and our fifteen month old granddaughter. The accomodation is first class and everything we needed for a great vacation was thoughtfully provided by the owners, including a cot and high chair for our youngest, fishing equipment for fishing in the creek at the end of the garden, equipment for having fun in the large heated pool, outdoor dining facilities with gas BBQ and much much more.
The house is truly first class, it is clean and tidy, furnished to a very high standard and very well maintained.
The location is ideal as it offers a peaceful and relaxing environment where you are able to relax in the pool or fish in the creek away from the busier parts of Port Charlotte or Fort Myers, but is still within easy reach of the restaurants, stores, malls and numerous golf courses in the area. The superb Gulf Coast beaches of Boca Grande, Captiva Fort Myers etc. are also a relatively short drive away.
The wildlife in and around the creek is amazing and during our two weeks we were very fortunate to see aligators, turtles, herons, a racoon and even a manatee on two seperate occasions.
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation on Shell Creek and would recommend both the area and this holiday home to all of our relatives and friends visiting South Florida.

Peaceful Punta Gorda

Westerham Westerham, Kent, UK
Review Submitted: September 21, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a fantastic week in Punta Gorda. Your lovely house was a perfect base for us to experience the Florida Everglades. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of space for the seven of us. We loved the pool and the fishing in the creek, we caught some amazing specimens. Anyone lucky enough to stay here will have a thoroughly relaxing time.

Shell Creek -our little bit of paradise in Florida

Harry and Vicki Blacko Lancashire
Review Submitted: January 24, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
If you are looking for a place where you can totally relax, enjoy the sun and while away the hours by the creek, fishing, sipping chilled chardonnay, watching basking alligators and manatees as the sun sets - this is the place for you. The house is ideally situated - not far from lots of things to see and do - but set away from the busier areas of the fort Myers and Port Charlotte areas.

The house is pure luxury - everything you could ever need in a holiday home. The pool area is large and the dining area outside also is a real bonus with a gas BBQ too. The gardens are beautiful and mature.

We are returning to the house for the 7th time this year. We never stray far as the house offers such a relaxing opportunity but we would recommend trips to the beach at Boca Grande and Captiva, a visit to Venice and we have done a day trip to Key West by Catamaran from Fort Myers. Punta Gorda downtown is ever changing - with new places opening all the time. Our favourite places for food and drink include: Celtic ray, Deans,River City Grill The Ice House, and the Working Cow for the very best ice creams. There are grocery stores only 5-10minutes from the house and a fantastic German Butcher going north on the 41. If you are looking for a deli - try Presseller in the town centre- good for beach picnics.

The property owners always make contact to ensure all is in place when you have arrived at the house and a local family in the neighbourhood are on hand if there are any problems.

Our first visit to the house was the first time we had ever booked a villa - and we have not been anywhere else since. Prairie Creek is so relaxing, has everything you need and is perfectly located for an allround holiday.
