Punta Gorda Sunrise on the Canal: Family Suite, Pool, Dock & Luxury Waterfront Fun

The ideal family getaway where kids create unforgettable moments, parents actually get to relax, and families reconnect.

The Space

Welcome to Sunrise on the Canal, a thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom waterfront home in beautiful Punta Gorda Isles created specifically for families, grandparents, and groups who want more than just a place to stay, they want a place to make memories.  Whether you're escaping a Midwest winter, gathering multiple generations under one roof, or planning a long-overdue family vacation, Sunrise on the Canal offers the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and family-friendly fun.

Why Sunrise on the Canal?

Most vacation homes focus on sunsets, but families with children understand the real magic happens "after". After the swimming, bike rides, baths and bedtime negotiations, it's time to get the kids settled into the Family Suite for a magical movie night or cousin's slumber party while the adults finally get to enjoy a peaceful evening under the glow of the lanai lights. We designed Sunrise on the Canal around the way real families vacation, creating unforgettable experiences for the kids while giving parents the chance to truly relax.

Exterior Amenities & Waterfront Living

The heart of Southwest Florida is the water, and this home puts you right in the middle of it. The beautifully designed interior flows seamlessly onto a spacious screened lanai through expansive sliding glass doors. This private outdoor retreat features a sparkling swimming pool, barbecue grill, outdoor dining area, and multiple chaise lounges for soaking up the Florida sunshine. As evening arrives, the pool and lanai lighting transform the backyard into the perfect setting for family dinners, late-night conversations, and relaxing after a day of adventure. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee overlooking the canal or unwinding poolside after a day on the water, the lanai is designed to be one of the home's favorite gathering places.

Boating Facilities

The home is ideally suited for boating enthusiasts, offering a private dock with water and electric service, quick access to Charlotte Harbor, and convenient access to the Gulf. Guests can enjoy watching fish gather around the underwater fish lights in the evenings, creating a unique waterfront experience right in your backyard. The property is also conveniently located near some of Southwest Florida's most popular beaches and coastal destinations. To make beach days easy, we provide a parasol, coolers, beach chairs, premium towels, and flotation devices and sand toys for younger guests.

The Family Suite 

One of the home's most unique features is the dedicated Family Suite.
Designed specifically for large families and multi-generational vacations, this room is far more than just a bedroom, it's a place where cousins have sleepovers, siblings enjoy movie nights, and family memories are made.

Features include:

• Twin-over-full bunk bed & twin trundle bed
• Full-size Murphy bed
• Smart TV for late-night cartoons or films
• Large double doors for a perfect balance of privacy and supervision

The Family Suite comfortably accommodates children, cousins, grandchildren, or even an additional couple, offering a level of flexibility rarely found in Punta Gorda vacation homes. While the kids enjoy their own space, parents can relax by the pool, enjoy a glass of wine on the lanai, or simply enjoy a quiet evening knowing everyone is comfortably settled in.

Boutique Coffee & Wine Bar

Every detail of the home was designed with families in mind, including the coffee and beverage station.
We intentionally replaced complicated machinery with a simple, user-friendly Keurig system so guests can spend less time figuring out appliances and more time enjoying their vacation.

Whether you're enjoying coffee overlooking the sun rising over the canal, an afternoon tea break, or hot chocolate with the kids before an evening movie, the beverage station is stocked with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate and is one of our favorite gathering spots in the home.
