Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the home, the water access, and the little details. And thank you for sharing such beautiful pictures from your stay - they’re wonderful! We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back again soon!
We truly enjoyed our recent stay at 20 Steps to Water. The house was spotless, the dock was perfect for our boat, and the host was amazing - even setting us up with a very thoughtful "welcome pack" with snacks and beverages upon arrival. Thank you so much for all the little touches Anna, we will definitely be back soon!

Thank you so much for your kind review, Jeff! We’re happy to hear that you had such a wonderful stay and enjoyed the home, dock, and welcome treats. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again soon!
Clean and beautiful home. The water is just off the lanai area. It's a quiet place--perfect for relaxing, but it's just minutes from the busy beaches and restaurants. The hot tub and extras (kayaks, paddle board, beach chairs, etc...) available for us to use were so appreciated! I really loved the peacefulness and beauty of it. My husband loved the cleanliness, design, and closeness to the beaches and restaurants. We definitely hope to return in the future.

A perfect beach getaway! The home was clean, spacious and fully stocked with everything we needed. Right on the water and close to everything while still feeling like a secluded getaway. We loved everything about it and cannot wait to come back.

Thank you so much! Glad you had a private getaway!
property is as described, though assorted games could not be found. no big deal as it rained accouple days while we were there and could have used some. kayaks and paddle boards and bike are a great feature. plenty of parking and Englewood is a nice small town to check out. Almost forgot fishing off the dock is great fun to. though the state of Florida makes getting a out of state license a pain.

Thank you so much for your review! So sorry there weren't games! I guess I forgot to get them after the hurricane. We will do that.
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.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review!!! So glad you had a great time!
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. We brought our boat and loved being able to dock our boat right at the property and store our trailer on site. Would love to stay again when in town!
My family enjoyed our time here. It was so cute and the area is perfect for those with a boat. The owners are very accommodating and truly want you to have the best vacation. Definitely recommend and we will book again

Clean comfortable and has everything you need for your vacation in Englewood. We loved walking out on the dock each day to enjoy nature. Great location close to beaches.

About the host
Hosted by Anna Jenkins
Rick and I bought our first home in Florida in 2020. We joined the 2020 work from anywhere movement so now we can live our dream of living where we want and travelling all over. We are back and forth between Florida and Virginia. We are very active and love to travel, bike, hike and kayak. We also have an RV and have traveled all over the US and Canada! 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!
