“Beautiful villa with everything we needed. Pool great, fishing not as good during day and weather very hot!
Thank you for helping us have a lovely relaxing holiday.”
Stuart & Jenni Grant, Manchester UK – April/May 2010
“Had a lovely time at villa. Weather has been lovely, and the villa has everything you could want. Enjoyed fishing off dock and laying in pool.”
Davidson Family, Dundee, Scotland – April 2010
“We had a lovely, quiet, restful holiday – even the weather behaved itself. Without a doubt this is the best equipped villa we have been in and we've been in lots. However, we agree with the above family – more towels and a change of sheets would be desirable.”
Ian & Celia Howden and Dougal & Carolyn Baxter, North Yorkshire, UK – April 2010
Owner profile
Nigel & Susann at Cabbage Key
About the owner
Susann and I live in the South East of England. Our area is known as the Garden of England and we are surrounded by lovely countryside with fruit, hops (for making beer) and now vines and lavender. Within one hour we have the sea, London or even France. What might you say is wrong with this? Well you’ve guessed it the weather and not being able to experience all year round outdoor living and this is why we love the hot sunny climes and the laid back lifestyle of Punta Gorda on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Since purchasing our property we have bought a boat and boating adds a whole new dimension to our stays. What’s more Punta Gorda is a great place to explore the whole of South West Florida from. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. Nigel and Susann - England
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We wanted to enjoy boating and waterside living and having looked at an area between Naples and Sarosota we finally settled on Punta Goda with its old Floridian atmosphere combined with modern amenities and harbour side facilities. Punta Gorda is a quiet laid back town that remains largely undiscovered by tourism; yet all amenities are on your doorstep; waterfront restaurants, shopping, boating, world-class fishing and boat tours to the Gulf islands and public golf courses. We also chose Punta Gorda because the weather is fabulous all year round and there is so much for us all to do. It is also a very good base for visiting the whole of South West Florida.
Unique benefits of the property
There is so much we enjoy at our home in Punta Gorda. The true holiday atmosphere, the fabulous weather, swimming in our private pool, relaxing with a book, cooking prawns on our grill and going out on our boat to some distant beach or restaurant perhaps with some dolphins joining us on the way. There is of course also the eating out at one of the many restaurants in the area, the shopping trips and the golf, tennis and cycle rides. Even though we have been going there for some years now we never get tired of it and nor do our many guests who return year after year.
