Home away from home with an amazing view of the beach. The beach house was clean and accommodating with everything me and my family needed for our stay. Thanks you Fran for your generosity and warm welcoming.
Loved the quietness and access to beach. Owner’s were very friendly and available. We were looking for a place with little to no people to decompress and got it. Hated to leave and would love to visit again.

Thank you Pamela for such a great review ! Love to hear you enjoyed our place as much as we do ! Thank you for treating our home as if it were yours. Hope to have you back soon ! Francine
This is our second stay here. We loved the first stay in ‘21 and we loved the second stay in ‘23. It’s a perfect location as you are steps from the beach. It’s easy to access all the great things Manasota and Englewood have to offer as well

Thank you Zack for your great review! And for taking such good care of our home. Hope to have you back soon! Francine
Such a wonderful stay. Our first morning there we woke up to watching two baby turtles hatch. Francine was a wonderful host and provided much more than I expected- from beach towels to sunscreen. It felt like home. We will definitely be back!

Thank you Jenny for taking the time to write such a nice review! We are so happy when guests come and enjoy our home! So happy you got to see the turtles hatch too ! Hope to see you back soon ! Francine
2nd time staying here love the location. The storm took the walking beach away, but we knew it was going to happen, so we just went up to Blind Pass and my wife hit the jackpot of shelling and shark teeth. The owners are great and communication with them is always easy as a phone call.
