The house was so nice, with a beautiful open floor plan. The beds were very comfortable. Host was very accommodating as we arrived later than expected. The pool was amazing and refreshing. The neighborhood is quiet so all you hear at night when sitting on the back deck is the sound of nature. It is like this house and property is it's own little oasis.

The hosts were very responsive and accomodating. The house contained everything you need for a month long escape from winter including a screened in heated pool, lots of beach stuff - from coolers to chairs to toys etc., even a booster chair for our granddaughter when family visited for a week. Definitely recommend.

Eric and Leah are terrific ! Very responsive and accommodating.. we had an amazing family Holiday adventure discovering beaches, kayaking, floating in the heated pool.

Great house and location!

Our first snowbird trip and we picked the the perfect place! Close enough to beaches and restaurants but far enough from crowds and noise. Very clean, private, and plenty of room. The heated pool was great, and the beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed having dinner out in the screened in lanai. Fantastic house! Had a wonderful time!

Private, Clean, and Quiet house close to beaches

We loved our stay at this house. The pool was fantastic with lots of room to swim and plenty of pool toys to keep the kids busy . The house was clean and stocked with essentials . It was also a quick drive to 3 different beaches. Communication with the property owners was also a breeze. They answer quickly and keep you up to date on anything that needs to be addressed.

Great vacation!

Stayed in a very nice home in a residential area of Englewood. It was very clean and had beachy decorations. The living room was huge and we loved the outdoor screened in area next to the pool. We spent alot of time out there playing games and cards. Close to the beach where we visited several good restaurants too. Also good restaurants right on McCall towards the beach. Visit Englewoods on Dearborn for blues music and good shopping on same street. Great farmer's market there every Thursday too. It was also less than 30 minutes from Venice and Punta Gorda for good food and shopping, pier, museum.

The owern was great with communication and given us recommendations for food & activities!Our favorite was Boca Grande Beaches!We loved eating at BeachComber-the fish dip & veggies high recommend. We did a-dolphin tour with Kevin and saw 6 dolphins & a manatee. 941-8309461

Enjoyable stay

We had a great time when we stayed here. It was a nice house with plenty of space for relaxing indoors as well as out. The only issue we had was that the spa/hot tub was not hot. This would not be such a big deal but we chose this house because it had the hot tub and we knew that we would be spending a lot of time out there. I was able to easily reach out to the hosts and the were quick to respond. By our last night it was hot enough for us. Overall it was a very nice time.
