Dog-Friendly Waterfront Home | Walk to Fishermen’s Village | Heated Pool

Welcome to Villa Hibiscus

Villa Hibiscus is a distinctive dog-friendly waterfront retreat in Punta Gorda, combining relaxed Tommy Bahama style with Italian-inspired character, a heated saltwater pool, private dock, and an exceptional location just a short walk from Fishermen’s Village.

This spacious two-story home is designed for guests who want the best of waterfront Florida living while remaining close to Punta Gorda’s restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and harborfront attractions.

The Space

The main living area offers comfortable spaces for gathering, dining, and relaxing, with views toward the pool and waterfront. A fully equipped modern kitchen makes preparing meals at home easy, while quality linens, furnishings, and thoughtful décor create a comfortable setting throughout the home.

The first-floor primary suite offers direct access to the pool and lanai. Its spacious ensuite bathroom features a large walk-in shower designed for two, double vanity sinks, a jetted tub, and a private toilet area.

Upstairs, one guest bedroom features a queen bed, while another has two twin beds that can be joined with an insert, upon advance request, to create a larger sleeping configuration approximating a California King. The upstairs bedrooms share a full bathroom.

Additional convertible sleeping spaces allow Villa Hibiscus to accommodate up to 10 overnight guests. Additional visitors require prior approval.

Heated Pool & Waterfront Living

The outdoor areas are at the heart of the Villa Hibiscus experience.

Relax beside the heated saltwater pool, enjoy peaceful canal views, or spend the evening on the screened lanai surrounded by palms and hibiscus. A propane grill makes outdoor meals easy, while the private dock provides another place to relax and enjoy the waterfront setting.

The existing boat lift is not available for guest use.

For guests who want to explore, Villa Hibiscus provides complimentary use of 2 kayaks, 4 beach bikes, and beach gear. Paddle the canals, explore Punta Gorda by bike, or arrange a boat rental through a nearby marina.

Walk to Fishermen’s Village

One of Villa Hibiscus’s greatest advantages is its location.

Fishermen’s Village is approximately a 15-minute walk along the nearby walking trail, putting waterfront restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and beautiful Charlotte Harbor views within easy reach.

Leave the car at the villa, walk to dinner or drinks, enjoy an evening along the waterfront, and stroll home afterward.

Boaters can reach the Peace River in approximately 10 minutes by boat, providing access to the broader Charlotte Harbor waterways.

Dog-Friendly Punta Gorda Getaway

Villa Hibiscus welcomes approved dogs, making it easier to bring an important member of the family along on your Florida vacation.
