Where did you stay? (Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda: houses, closing, price)

While waiting out the last few weeks of your house being built, or just finding temporary housing in order to be in FL while the house is being built - where did you find temporary housing. Would you recommend it?

La Quinta, price was right and was very nice and convenient to I 75.

There is a Wyndham in PC timeshare units. I don't know how they are but they should be sufficient for a short stay

Thank you both for your ideas. I'll check them both out tomorrow!

Banana Bay in Port Charlotte! Small efficiencies right on the harbor and great pricing! Laid back good 'ol folks :-)

I stayed at Country Inn and Suites. It was very clean and looked like it was brand new and had a great breakfast.

Just a tip, a woman was staying for a few weeks and was paying almost 1/2 what I was. She said she used one of the discount sites on the web. I paid and $75 and she paid $40 a night for the same size room.

Ditto. My closing was pushed back a couple weeks and we stayed at Banana Bay. Also stayed there while looking at houses.

Thanks for the great ideas! I'll check them all out. Floridians are so helpful and friendly!

I stayed at the Sleep Inn & Suites on Kings Highway and it was a pleasant experience.

We always stay at the Four Points by Sheraton Punta Gorda. It is very convenient and they wrote the book on customer service. It's not too expensive and they discount if you ask them.
