Laura and Thomas are wonderful hosts! The Cassita is comfortable and the pool is an asset. Coming from Canada we found the heat overwhelming at times, so we spent a great deal of time lounging in the pool. The pros....we felt very safe, we were able to park our vehicle rental inside the gates, bottled drinking water was provided which is not always the case at some locations, when we mentioned to Laura and Thomas that the scissors and vegetable peeler were broke they were quick to provide us with new ones which we appreciated. Punta Gorda is a lovely town with a great deal of culture to explore. People are friendly and the town has ample markets,grocery stores, a pharmacy, restaurants, gas station ...all the necessities.
The cons....the Cassita has an air conditioner but it is small, located in the one bedroom so it does not cool the whole Cassita down. However, the hosts did provide several fans to assist with moving the air a bit. During our stay we had issues with the freezer above the fridge staying frozen. They were working on it when we left but it was an inconvenience not being able to keep ice etc.
We enjoyed our 18 night stay and would recommend the Cassita to anyone wanting to stay in the Punta Gorda area.
