Port Charlotte Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Port Charlotte is a small waterfront community located on West Coast Florida south of Sarasota and between Venice and Punta Gorda. The Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda area is, by far, most well known FOR its many challenging golf courses scattered throughout the region. These two communities are separated by the narrow, winding Peace River, which is alive with wildlife such as the Osprey and the Manatee. The river, Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico provide a wide variety of recreational opportunities in Port Charlotte. For a quiet respite, the Port Charlotte Beach and Pier is a nice place for a midday picnic. It sits on a bay beach near the wide mouth of the Peace River offering wondrous views of the surroundings. This spot also has a fishing pier on Alligator Harbor, a public pool, playground and tennis courts. Port Charlotte has a great location, just twenty minutes to the Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota, and 25 minutes to the historic, charming town of Boca Grande. Many consider uncrowded, beautiful Charlotte County one of the “best kept secrets” in the state of Florida.

Port Charlotte Weather & Climate

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.
