I've just finished reading every word of one of the stickies, and want to thank all of the contributors for the information and anecdotes.
I have lived in a landlocked state my entire life and my goal has always been to move to the gulf coast of Florida.
My husband and I have been spending two weeks per year in various locations on the gulf coast trying to determine our favorite area so that we could decide where to purchase a home when we are able to move there. Fortunately we expect to be able to move at the end of this year
While our expeditions have been very un-scientific we have managed to decide that we prefer to live on a canal home with access to the gulf versus an oceanfront home.
We will be spending the week of March 6 exploring the Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte areas. Unfortunately we could not find a short-term rental in either town so we will have to drive from the south end of siesta key each day. For that reason I was looking for advice to help us make the most efficient use of our exploring hours.
1. Which neighborhoods, shopping areas, or restaurants are must visit/ drive through locations?
2. Can you recommend a realtor in the area that you trust and have personal experience with?
Thank you!
PS if you responded to me on the sticky thread - Thank You! Just casting my net further

We made sure we visited the area during all seasons so we could be sure we could handle the heat, rain, etc.

It would be easier to recommend neighborhoods if we knew your price range and requirements. Are you looking for a deed restricted neighborhood with amenities such as golf, fitness, tennis, pool, etc? Or do you want to live in a non-deed restricted area? What type of things to do you like to do?
Punta Gorda
Punta Gorda Isles and Burnt Store Isles have waterfront gulf access homes on canals. Punta Gorda has other deed restricted communities such as Creekside, Oak Harbour, Waterford Estates, Tuscany Isles where you will find new construction as well as resale homes. If you want larger lots without as many restrictions you can try Burnt Store Meadows, Burnt Store Lakes and Burnt Store Village. If you want a gated golf community, there is Seminole Lakes.
Port Charlotte
Port Charlotte has a few deed restricted communities such as River Club, Deep Creek, Oak Hollow, Suncoast Lakes, Villa Millano. On the water you will find Grassy Point, South Gulf Cove, Gulf Cove. Golf course communities are Riverwood and Kings Gate which is a 55+.

Punta Gorda is consistently winning top awards for "the best place to retire". I'll have to say, I'm not of retirement age (42) and I really enjoy the town:

Punta Gorda, Florida is an historic fishing village community on Charlotte Harbor in Southwest Florida. Punta Gorda, Florida features one of the largest natural harbors in the United States and is centrally located between Sarasota to the north and Fort Myers to the south. With sunshine all year and balmy gulf breezes to cool the summer, Punta Gorda is prized by boaters, fishermen, water lovers and tourists alike.
This vibrant community has an historic downtown area with brick, gas-lit streets and plenty of shopping, art galleries and other amenities, and is home to fine dining, marinas and many recreation areas. The historic downtown has been revitalized with beautiful flowers, colorful wall murals, trees, charming brick planters and benches where you can rest and watch life as it passes by.
There's always something going in Punta Gorda. A lot of my friends who live in Sarasota come down to Punta Gorda for "things to do".

Dean's and Hurricane Charley's are great little places to watch some live music:

I love The Celtic Ray Irish Pub:
Celtic Ray Irish Pub They bring in some really neat bands on the weekends. The Ray has many different beers on tap and it's just a really casual, laid back place to watch a band or catch a drink.
TT's Tiki Bar is really casual place to stop and listen to a band or grab a drink. It's right on the Peace River and they have a fire pit and a bunch a beach chairs sitting around. You will think you're down in Key West:

Harpoon Harry's and Laishley's Crab House are great places to watch the sunset or grab a drink but, to be honest, the food is my favorite there (both the same owner)

Jack's on Marion usually has decent food if you want to grab a bite to eat while in town. They also have a Gluten Free menu for the more health conscious :

Here's some info on the PGI Civic Association:
Punta Gorda Isles Civic Association Check out the "Clubs" section. I think there's just about every kind of club you could imagine. All my friends who live in PGI, love it and everyone seems to be super friendly.
Everywhere you go, there is something to do outside.
Punta Gorda, Florida is the county seat for Charlotte County and is home to approximately 17,000 people, including young families, singles and seniors.
With 130 miles of water, natural preserve Charlotte Harbor is popular with boaters and fishermen, and leads out into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
The picturesque waterfront area includes many public waterfront parks where year-round events take place. Fishermen’s Village, a complete marina, is right next to downtown, and a new public boat ramp and fishing pier are on the waterfront.
Punta Gorda is also a favorite of golfers with its beautiful courses, each offering challenging greens, sand traps and water.
The city is convenient to Charlotte County Airport, Southwest Florida International Airport, and Naples Municipal Airport. This ‘Main Street’ designated community has much to offer tourists and residents. Visit the historic A.C. Freeman House built in 1903, and browse its quaint museum, take a downtown gallery walk, or head to the Babcock Wilderness to commune with nature. Take a Trolley Tour with a local historian, or visit the Peace River Wildlife Center, Ponce de Leon Historical Park or Florida Adventure Museum. Fisherman’s Village is a new waterfront shopping complex with boutiques, dining and entertainment. It has also a 98 slip marina and boat, jet ski and bicycle rentals. Catch a sightseeing boat here and venture out to Cabbage Key or do some sport fishing.
Punta Gorda is a waterfront paradise with single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums, moderately priced condos, luxurious waterfront homes, and open land on which to build your dream home. There are numerous upscale and gated communities in the Punta Gorda area, many with private golf courses.
Downtown Punta Gorda is popular with many residents. With its huge, swaying palms, brick streets, and homes with wide verandas and tin roofs, you will feel as if you have gone back in time. It’s a great place to walk and discover hidden treasures. Gilchrist Park along the Peace River has tennis courts, a huge playground, gazebo and is home to country, bluegrass and folk musicians as they gather in circles to perform every Thursday evening.
Punta Gorda Isles (PGI) is a large upscale waterfront community in Punta Gorda. With city water and sewer and close proximity to I-75 and US 41, Punta Gorda Isles is convenient to all services and amenities and close to downtown Punta Gorda, Fort Myers and Naples. Punta Gorda Isles was once swampland dredged by General Development Corp. in 1957 to create a maze of seawalled saltwater canals. Canals in Punta Gorda Isles are 100 feet wide and 12 feet deep, and the seawalls and canals are maintained by the city of Punta Gorda. This is a primarily a boating, golfing and country club neighborhood with pretty Spanish tile roofs and a strong homeowner’s association to help maintain value.
At the center of Punta Gorda Isles is the St. Andrews Golf Club, along with a small commercial area that offers services to residents. Punta Gorda Isles is a deed restricted community with over 6,000 lots. Punta Gorda Isles has its own yacht club, and a private golf club, so residents never have to leave home to pursue their passion. This community is an ideal location for nature lovers, water enthusiasts, boaters and golfers. Homes in Punta Gorda Isles are beautifully landscaped and intelligently conceived to suit the surrounding environment. A few homes border the St. Andrew’s South Golf Club. The Punta Gorda Isles road system was designed to minimize traffic and to give the community the feel of a small, private neighborhood. There are a few new homes and lots in this community but many purchases today are for existing homes and condos, some dating back to the 1960s. Compared to Sarasota, Fort Myers and Naples, purchase prices in Punta Gorda Isles are very affordable. In Punta Gorda Isles you can find moderately priced waterfront homes and glorious waterfront estates. Residential lots are either on a canal or surrounding the St. Andrews South Golf Club. Most homes in Punta Gorda Isles have 3-5 bedrooms and 2-4 bathrooms.
Charlotte Ranchettes, south of town, features country living and offers plenty of space for horse-lovers to ride. This equestrian community just off I-75 at Jones Loop, offers out of the way country style living. Most of the land is divided into an acre or more to allow for horses. A new super Wal-Mart is just a few minutes away, and downtown Punta Gorda is just up the road.
Ridge Harbor is an area of older homes along US 17 on the way to Arcadia. It has a voluntary homeowner association and no deed restrictions but features a clubhouse, a community boat ramp, and access to Shell Creek, and Peace River and Charlotte Harbor beyond.
Other communities include the old town of Cleveland with its moderately priced single-family homes, large land parcels and plenty of room for horses and Solona which is a historic area just outside of town along the Peace River.
Tropical Gulf Acres is between Punta Gorda and Fort Myers and features undeveloped land for home sites and very affordable single-family classic homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, while South Punta Gorda Heights is an affordable area a little closer to town.
Punta Gorda, Florida has everything from waterfront homes in the millions to fine historic to bungalows to new Florida style homes.
If you are a golfer or boater and love a quint downtown packed with things to do, Punta Gorda might be the spot for you!
