Notes on accommodation
South Gulf Cove is mainly a rural community. Most homes like ours, are on Deep water as this area is very close to the access for Port Charlotte Harbour, Myakka and Peace Rivers and the Gulf of Mexico. All types of fresh and salt water fishing, sailing/boating and enjoying the wonderful wildlife. We provide FOC a full range of fresh & salt water fishing gear. But best of all, this area is known for it's beautiful and safe, Sugar Sand Beaches; all the interesting and gorgeous shells and sharks teeth that can be found are some of the best along the whole Gulf Coast. It has the cleanest, clear and safe warm swimming waters you could ever wish for. They are just wonderful for kids of all ages? Villa Safety: All doors and windows that lead to the Pool/rear area, have an independent safety alarm system fitted, so that, it will warn you if anyone opens any doors or windows to the Lanai/Pool. You can feel safe in the knowledge that none of your children can get outside without you knowing!

This villa was constructed with people that have some mobility problems in mind. All on the ground floor with large doors and open entrances, small steps and walk-in Showers that can take small wheelchairs.

The covered lanai is 30 x 10ft and the sun deck is also over 30x10ft. the whole rear of this villa is fully caged and is not over looked on any side. There is a 50ft private dock and a 9000l boat lift. Great fishing can be had from this dock and then the fun of cooking the 'catch of the day' on the villa bbq/gas grill? So, how good dad say he is at this? Boat hire: we have arrangements with a local boat yard. We can arrange your boat hire for you at very good discounted rates.

Just a quick note to say that we really enjoyed our week at your villa in Port Charlotte. The kids were in the pool a lot and we really enjoyed the hot tub. We went for walks every day and visited three different beach areas. We had great weather that week too. Thanks for all the information in the binders. It really helped us out. Sincerely, Kevin S. UK. March.

Guest comments
Hello Barry,
Once again, my family was very impressed with your holiday home. We all had a lovely time, thank you.
We are not sure of the dates yet when we will be returning to Florida, but rest assured, when we do, it will be to one of your houses!
Thanks again, Rhonda M WV USA 25/07/2011.

Hello Barry,
Many thanks for a great holiday and agreeing to a late departure time from the villa on Sunday. An enjoyable time was had by all, at your villa. Its location was perfect and for us, it was a "good" find on the owner’s direct web site. We did have a couple of small problems which were dealt with promptly by Brenda. These in no way lessened the good time we had. Again many thanks Garry Maslen, Jacqueline S and family UK 30/06/11.

Linda & Barry Eastlake

About the owner
Hello holiday seekers, thank you for viewing our villa. Linda and I are from Oxfordshire, England. We have been coming to Florida, with our children since the early 80's. It was then, when the kids were small, that we discovered and fell in love with Florida's Gulf Coast with it's beautifully clean 'sugar sand' beaches. The clear, clean, safe, warm gulf waters and all the wonderful wildlife that is all around you to marvel at and enjoy. All this and only a few hours from Disney of the Everglades.

Year purchased: 2006

Why the owner chose a home in this location
When we retired, we wanted our holiday home to be in this unspoilt part of the South West Gulf Coast. Which, unlike most of the Florida coast line, is not built up. It still retains that 'old world charm' that Florida had and is now mainly lost in places like Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Naples. Come and see for yourselves!

Unique benefits of the property
Being within the South Gulf Cove Nature Reserve, you are privileged to see Florida's wonderful wildlife all around you. I have sat on the lanai and seen a sea eagle fly down and pick a fish out of the water just 30 feet in front of me. We have a 5 foot 'gator, who regally visits our canal and will lay on the surface, he never comes close, just watching you fish from the dock. We have hired kayaks and spent hours sailing around the reserve, fishing, crabbing and bird spotting. This is the real Florida. There is not a lot left so we feel very lucky to own part of it!
