Gulf Cove Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Gulf Cove
is an upscale community located just off Route 771 between Port Charlotte and Boca Grande. This lovely town has an extensive canal system (approximately 55 miles of navigable canals,) most of which are very wide and provides residents with access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. All the canals converge into the Interceptor Lagoon, which leads to a lock near the mouth of the Myakka River. A number of properties in Gulf Cove are designated as having “sailboat access,” meaning that there are no bridges to the harbor. There are several fine restaurants within easy driving distance of Gulf Cove, and the community is also a short drive to the beautiful white sand Gulf beaches. Fifteen minutes away are four golf courses, Long Marsh, The Palms, Oakland Hills and Cape Haze Links. Other recreational opportunities in the immediate vicinity include hiking and biking, tennis, fishing, wildlife viewing and birdwatching, swimming, snorkeling and diving, boating, surfing, parasailing, jet skiing and shelling. Gulf Cove is just minutes to the charming communities of Cape Haze, Port Charlotte, Boca Grande and Punta Gorda, Don Pedro Island and more.
The Southwest Region of Florida, between Sarasota and Fort Myers, has comfortable weather year round. At 5 to 25 feet above sea level, the region has a subtropic climate that is checked by the tempering influence of the Gulf of Mexico. The Peace River, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, contributes to the hot and humid climate in the summertime (but it's not unbearable due to cooling Gulf breezes.)Prevailing winds are normally 12-18 mph. The rainy season lasts from June through September, with rain spread fairly evenly throughout those months. Thunderstorms tend to pop up quickly but also dissipate just as quickly, with the sunshine quickly returning. The winters are lovely with warm afternoons and mild evenings and much less rain. Hurricane season generally runs late summer through late October in the Gulf of Mexico.
