About Jimmy and Laura
We have been married 28 years and purchased this property with dreams of spending lots of retirement time here. Until then, we would like to share it with our friends and family and new friends we will meet through our rental.
Jimmy and Laura purchased this Cottage in 2012
Why Jimmy and Laura chose Englewood
We purchased this property because we love the area. We enjoy the beach and fishing and Stump Pass offers both. Englewood is still "Old Florida". Stump Pass Beach is a hidden gem!
What makes this Cottage unique
Fishing, beaches, water sports, spring training baseball, golfing, and gorgeous weather to name a few!

Awesome!
Best place in Englewood to stay! Minutes away from catching bait and putting dinner in the yeti, with a great family atmosphere. Highly recommend staying here!!
Such a wonderful place to stay! You will love it.
We happened to stumble upon this place online and I’m so happy we did. It has every bit of home that you need, and a little extra too. The dock is very convenient and takes less than 5 minutes to get to open water and great fishing close by. I have NO complaints. Only the best stuff to say. We will be back next year and we already can’t wait!!!
Another great stay!
Even though the weather wasn’t great for Memorial Day weekend we enjoyed another great stay in the Seahorse cottage. The pool was heated and the house was immaculate. Jimmy and Laura spare no expense for comfort. Everything you could possibly need is provided. It’s such a beautiful and relaxing home. We are looking forward to returning for a week in July!
Exceeded our expectations...had a wonderful stay!
Great area, very clean and comfy. Close to beaches and shopping, but quiet neighborhood. On the canal, which was wonderful to sit and enjoy with your morning coffee or afternoon beverage, while taking in the view and local bird species. The heated pool was a relaxing and added treat after a day at the beach. Everything we needed was available or easy to access. Such a treat...we will stay again, for sure!
Great Little Find
Beautiful, comfortable and immaculate. Had everything you could possibly need. Looks so much nicer than it appears in pictures. Dock is a little tight if there are two boats there. Our 22’ Pathfinder would not fit if there were two boats there. We will definitely go back, soon. Owners were great.
We love seahorse cottage , Engelwood
Thank you Jimmy and Laura for providing a comfortable place to stay in Engelwood.
Bed are comfy and place is quiet at night. Wish we had time for swimming in the pool.
Waking up in the morning was really nice with the water view across the canal.
We like to come back for longer stay.
