GULF COVE – a community that provides quiet, private spaces yet is close to all the amenities you would want. Nearby you’ll find – shopping malls with big box stores, several hospitals and medical facilities, a vast array of eateries and the Charlotte Sports Stadium to name a few – but when you want to get away – the crystalline beaches of the Gulf of Mexico are a short drive from your home. There are no HOA fees but there is the Gulf Cove Property Association – a voluntary organization where members pay a nominal annual fee and have the exclusive use of a waterfront park and boat ramp into the Myakka River. Really need to get away – nearby Interstate 75 and 4 airports (including Punta Gorda’s own airport) are yours to fly you anywhere you want to go. This is a little-known slice of paradise poised for future growth – just waiting for you.
