Just the name - GULF COVE - beckons one to visit. Gulf Cove is a growing waterfront community with new and newer homes. Yet, there remains peace, serenity and privacy. This piece of land is a "standard lot" on which most builders should be able to build your new home without having to make major modifications. Across the street from this land are some lovely newer homes - just waiting for a new neighbor. Gulf Cove is convenient to both the beautiful pristine sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico and the hustle and bustle of Port Charlotte. The Gulf Cove Property Owners Association is a voluntary organization whose members pay a nominal annual fee and have the exclusive use of the park and Myakka River boat ramp. Very nearby are the thriving communities of Englewood and Port Charlotte with a multitude of the stores you need and want - Publix, Home Depot - you name it, it’s probably here. Englewood is known for its robust restaurant community. You should never go hungry here. A big local draw is the Charlotte Sports Park – home of the Tampa Bay Rays spring training and Charlotte Stone Crabs. While this area still has acres of open land, major residential development is on the rise offering a diverse range of housing options. Undoubtedly Gulf Cove’s biggest draw is its location along the shores of the Myakka River which flows into Charlotte Harbor. The harbor supports over 600 species of birds, fish, and marine wildlife and great fishing. “Cross the bridge” to Punta Gorda and visit the Peace River Wildlife Center, a rehab facility for injured and orphaned wildlife.
