I am so please that we discovered this property , I will certainly be a repeat visitor! The home is in a nice residential neighborhood not far from the beach. I visited the public beaches at Manasota Key, Blind Pass and Casperson. The closest is at Manasota Key,about 10 minutes away ,all within a 20 minute drive. I was concerned that a two bedroom home would feel cramped with our large group,but we found it to be it to be quit roomy. The bedrooms are large and having two separate living ares was a big plus. The younger folks hung out in one living room ,while the older generation gathered in the other. Perfect for two families with varied age groups. This is one of the best stocked rentals I have ever stayed at. The kitchen had plenty of cook wear, utensils, glasses, spices,and paper products. They also provide lots of towels, so I didn't have to do laundry every day. We even found board games, puzzles and reading material. The pool was crystal clear and so very wonderful! Pat was quick to respond to my e-mails and super nice to communicate with. Just writing this review makes me wish I was back in Englewood!
