I have stayed in many homes in Englewood over the last 35 years. This home is by far the best that we have ever stayed at. Easy check in an check out. Everything was top notch; all you need to bring is your bathing suit and fishing rod. Most beautiful sunsets ever.

The floors were dirty. Vent for AC in 2nd bedroom was covered up. Need more counter space in bathroom. Would be nice to have a detachable shower head instead of a fixed. Wasn’t aware that it would be multiple renters in one house. Bathroom Vanity drawer broke. Killed 2 Palmetto bugs in the living room. 1 had gotten on my girlfriend. Very upset !

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 7, 2026
Thank you for your feedback—we take concerns like this very seriously. What you experienced regarding cleanliness and the pest issue is not acceptable and does not reflect the standard we aim to deliver. We have already addressed this directly with our cleaning and maintenance teams and implemented additional inspection steps to ensure every detail is thoroughly checked before each stay. The items you mentioned, including the vanity drawer and AC vent, have been corrected, and we are reviewing further improvements to enhance the guest experience. We understand how frustrating this must have been and genuinely wish we had the opportunity to resolve it during your stay.

Beautiful flat and great view!

We enjoyed the stay - Englewood is low key location, yet a short trip to Venice, Siesta Key, Boca Grande and local beaches. Sadly the dock was not available due to Milton last year but local captain took us out on the Gulf and we caught a great dinner. Anna was super responsive to any questions I had. We look forward to a future visit.

We love to meet new people, trying new foods, discovering new areas (being a "local"), and making memories. Thank you so much for considering our home for your next vacation!
