Cute place!
We were in town visiting family, and this well appointed, cute little cottage was perfect, especially with the very nice back patio where we enjoyed our morning coffee.

Cute, clean Grandma’s retreat Punta Gorda
Thank you for such a clean and cute home with a great outdoor covered patio. The neighborhood is so quite and grocery store so close. We felt very safe staying here. We had a fantastic 5 days here. Got in some sight seeing too. Our main reason was to visit retired coworkers from Michigan staying at the Tamiami RV park just south of your place. We enjoyed Stump Beach, Manasota Key Beach, and the Peace River Wildlife Sanctuary. Ate at many local seafood restaurants too just fantastic.

We enjoyed our stay but wish the bed was upgraded. That was our biggest disappointment - the discomfort of the bed. The shower was great, the property was clean, and it was very convenient to the family we were visiting. We just didn’t sleep well. Everything else went well with our stay.

Perfect Little Gem
This place is adorable! It is clean, newly renovated, comfortable, and conveniently located to local attractions. We needed a place close to Burnt Store Marina because we were going sailing. Grandma’s Cozy Retreat had everything we needed. The shower is phenomenal! Our only regret was that we didn’t stay longer! But, we will definitely stay here again!
