We are located in the best area of Port Charlotte, in a quiet neighborhood yet we are close to everything. Within 1 mile there are so many stores there is no way to name them all. There is a 16 screen movie theater, indoor mall, several grocery stores, numerous clothing stores and too many restaurants to even count. We have pretty much every type of ethnic food you could want. Mexican, Asian, Italian, European, Indian, Vietnamese and of course a ton of burger and pizza places.
All the amenities of home, internet (with wi-fi through out the house and lanai), flat screen TV with Roku for streaming your favorite movies and TV shows along with You-Tube TV for network and regular program viewing., master suite with private bath and large walk in shower, new extremely comfortable Posturepedic mattresses (we have been told many times by guests that it was the most comfortable bed they had slept on), all new stainless appliances and front load, quiet washer and dryer located just off the kitchen. With an attached garage to park your car in out of the weather.
The interior is a cozy coastal cottage feel, with carpet under foot in each bed room. A brand new designer kitchen, with quartz counters and self-closing cabinets. All the kitchen appliances are new stainless steel within the last 4 years. The home has a large screened in heated private pool (newly refurbished pool and patio) with comfortable seating for 6 and an outside dining area for 6. There are several sitting areas at the water’s edge. There are two chairs and a small table on a large cement dock to fish or just enjoy the water and nature, a lower wood dock also provides seating and a table for two. Above that on the lawn, nestled in the palm trees is a wood swing that overlooks the water. All three of these areas are perfect to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, evening glass of wine, reading a book or just relaxing with nature. There are many different birds that visit the yard daily. Egrets, Ibis, Herons and even a couple Wood Storks.

There is an instruction book on the table in the living room, with all the information you may need for a great stay. You will find information on the appliances, accessing the internet, trash pickup schedule and area attractions, among other things in the book. We strive for the best staff we can find to help us keep Idle Days in tip top shape. We have been lucky to find two great ladies that make sure the entire house is up to our high standards, before your arrival. They clean top to bottom with special attention to cleaning and disinfection of high touch surfaces, such as door handles, faucets, toilet handle, TV remote etc. We also have a top notch lawn and pool crew.

There are numerous golf courses in the area plus other attractions including Bush Gardens in Tampa, Fisherman's village in Punta Gorda which is a few minutes to the south and if you like antiquing, check out Arcadia to the east.
Everything was clean and easy. Pool is really nice.
Our entire stay was perfect. The house was amazing! We felt right at home. The pool was a perfect place to enjoy the hot Florida summer. Thank you Ron and Sharie for a wonderful time. You have an amazing home!
My sister and I went to FL to surprise our brother for his birthday! We stayed at Idle Days and loved the house ! Everything you could possibly need was provided. It was neat , clean and welcoming! Sharie was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We LOVED the pool , great to take a dip in the evening and just relax. The couch/chair was very comfy and the kitchen clean and bright. I will admit, the Florida temps and humidity in July were not fun, but we would Love to return to this rental in the future, maybe in the fall or winter LOL. The big bed in Master bedroom was indeed super comfortable, but the twin beds were a bit sweaky and stiff. Not a deal breaker, still slept well. I absolutely look forward to coming back to this property. Thank you Sharie and Ron !!!!!!!
Great house and pool. Great location, quit neiborhood and close to everything.
Highly recommend this vacation home. Very clean & comfortable. Enjoyed the pool & fishing. Close to everywhere that we wanted to go. Everything we needed was provided. Excellent communication with owners. This was our second time at this home. Plan to return soon!
Home was as expected. Everything was nice and clean. They knew we were eloping and left a card, flowers, and a goodie bag. There was a cute kitty that visited outside the lanai. The pool was amazing I floated for hours. Appreciated having the washer n dryer. Never saw Eddie n Steven but I found Eddie on Siesta key beach! Would definitely stay here again! Neighborhood quiet and close to shopping. Loved having our own quiet home to come to.
This house is everything and more. We were extremely pleased with all this home had to offer! The owners were very easy to get a hold of with any questions we had. I highly recommend this property. We will definitely be renting again from Sharie and Ron. The salt water pool was perfect.
The house is very clean and smells wonderful when you first walk in. The host leaves a thoughtful welcome gift. The house is stocked with basic necessities which is so nice not to have to purchase. The pool was great. The property and house are lovely. The hosts are very attentive and get back quickly to any question. This is the second time I stayed here and it was just as wonderful as the first time.
Our hosts went above and beyond with their rental! The listing was even more beautiful than the listing pictures. The hosts had many little items available to make our stay homey and fun! We recommend this property for all!
Loved the house and property! House is adorable, gorgeous pool and the location was great. We enjoyed watching the birds and other wildlife down by the canal. Loved the fact the kitchen was well stocked with all cooking necessities as well as spices. Sharie and Ron were great to communicate with, and were available to answer all questions.
The property was well maintained. Everything a guest would want was available. The pool was lovely and the lanai beautiful. The host was very attentive and checked to make sure all was fine. I would definitely stay there again.
Best place ever! Hands down this was the most relaxing place I’ve stayed at. The pool was like swimming in a bath! The house had everything I needed and the surrounding area is beautiful. Will definitely be back!! A+++++
The property was just as described and very clean! It had everything we needed for the week. Sharie checked on us throughout the week to make sure everything was okay! We enjoyed the pool and the wildlife! The birds would wait for you to come out and feed them!
We had a wonderful vacation. It was relaxing and fun. The house was clean and comfortable. The pool was great. Only caught a couple of fish, but it was fun trying. It was only 5 minutes to the movie theater & shopping mall. Many restaurants nearby too. Hope to return someday soon!
We had a wonderful time at Idle Days. The property was clean and nicely appointed with everything you need. The location was perfect for us as we were exploring the area and got to visit Venice, Englewood, Boca Grande, Punta Gorda and North Port. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby and the yet neighborhood was super quiet. Sharie and Ron were great hosts. We will definitely be back.
We had a great time. The owner was so helpful throughout the process and has instructions for anything needed. The house was the most clean one I have ever rented. Anything you would ever need was supplied including things for the beach. The pool was spectacular, very clean and clear. Quiet neighborhood, lots of visiting birds and there is even an avocado tree in backyard. Will be back!!!
Very convenient location Property was very clean Love the pool Awesome communication with owner Beds were comfortable Thanks Sharie
This was the perfect spot for just the two of us! We were close to our friends in North Port; the pool was perfect. The house was spotless with wonderful updates and the hosts were very attentive without being intrusive. We would certainly come back.
The property owners were very friendly and communicative. Communication was prompt and thorough. The house was exceptionally cleaned and every detail was attended to. The owners have thought of everything and made the start there very easy and therefore very enjoyable. I seriously felt like I was just staying at home (but better because I don’t have a pool at home). The neighborhood was quiet but yet close to just about everything.
My wife and I enjoyed a week at this great property. The house was clean and in great shape. The pool area was fabulous. First property we have stayed at where the pool water temperature was actually warm. Property was close to the retail we needed and about a half hour from the beaches. Hosts Ron and Sharie were the best we ever had. Sharie was very responsive to our questions and even provided us with suggestions for things to do in the area. She checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was ok. We will definitely stay here again.
Immaculate property and location was amazing close to several beaches. The pool and backyard were very nice. Very good communication with the host and the host is very helpful. This property will be my 1st choice next time we are in the area.
