3-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.5 / 5
Overview
Charlotte Bay Resort and Club is a 3-star, low-key apartment-style resort set on a tree-lined street in Port Charlotte, Florida, directly overlooking Bayshore Live Oak Park. Rather than standard hotel rooms, the property offers homey 2-bedroom apartments, giving it a residential, condo-like feel geared toward longer or family stays. It has earned a strong 4.5 rating from 152 guest reviews.
Rooms
Each 2-bedroom apartment includes a full kitchen, dining area, living room, in-unit laundry facilities, and a private balcony with views of the pool, sunset, or park. All units come with free Wi-Fi, TVs, and cribs are available on request, making the layout well suited to families or groups wanting space to spread out and cook their own meals.
Amenities & Recreation
Recreational facilities center on an outdoor pool with a sundeck and loungers, plus a separate hot tub. Guests also have access to billiards, darts, and horseshoes, giving the resort a laid-back, activity-friendly atmosphere beyond a typical hotel stay.
Location
The resort sits just 125 meters from Bayshore Live Oak Park and within a few kilometers of Gilchrist Park, Laishley Park, and Port Charlotte Beach Park. History and culture stops such as the Military Heritage Museum, Blanchard House Museum, Sea Grape Artists Gallery, and the History Park of Punta Gorda Sunday Market are all within roughly 3-4 kilometers, with the Peace River Wildlife Center, Peace River Botanical & Sculpture Gardens, and Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park a short drive further out.
Best for
This property suits families and small groups seeking apartment-style space with a kitchen and laundry rather than a single hotel room, and travelers who want a quiet, park-adjacent setting with pool and hot tub access. It also appeals to nature and history enthusiasts, given the proximity to Bayshore Live Oak Park, several museums, and river/wildlife attractions within a few miles.
Travel tips
A car is recommended, since many attractions like Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park (about 12.6 km) and the Peace River Wildlife Center (about 5.7 km) are a short drive rather than walking distance. Bayshore Live Oak Park is essentially next door, so it's an easy option for a morning walk before heading out to farther sights like the Punta Gorda Sunday Market or Gilchrist Park. Balcony views vary (pool, sunset, or park), so it's worth noting a preference when checking in.
What guests say
Recurring positive feedback highlights the unusually spacious apartment-style rooms for the price, friendly and efficient front-office staff, an easy check-in/check-out process, and well-liked amenities such as the pool and hot tub with bay views, along with comfortable beds. Several reviewers describe the property as feeling quiet, clean, and home-like. However, at least one review raises a sharp contrast, citing cleanliness issues including odors and pest problems, suggesting guest experience may vary by unit or timing.
