Great Stay!

We loved staying here! Came here for a fishing trip (which was cancelled) but ended up fishing on the river at the house. Very clean and well kept. Loved it

Perfect little getaway

Our family of 3 absolutely loved our stay here at Gorda Getaway. From check in to check out, everything was perfect and easy. We felt to home right as we walked in. The beds were very comfortable, and the couch was plenty big for all 3 of us to lay on to take a nap. The interior appears to have been recently updated with all new appliances and dishes - very nice. Coffee pods and ground coffee was available for us to enjoy. Loved the ice maker on the patio. And plenty of seating outside to enjoy your morning coffee or evening sunset. Enjoyed swinging by the dock as the boys fished. Was truly a lovely experience. Very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Will be back for sure.

Comfortable, Classy & Convenient

This home was the perfect landing spot for a quick fishing trip for us boys. We were very comfortable in our bedrooms (each with its own air conditioner), nice living space and very well equipped kitchen. But it is classy enough to bring mom with us next time. Can’t wait to come back for a longer stay!
