This house on the water was a wonderful place for us to spend two months away from the cold weather. We were two couples and the house was large and spacious enough for us to be together or apart to pursue our own interests. We enjoyed spending time out on the huge deck, watching the drawbridge and activity on the intercoastal, and of course, the beach on the other side of the bridge. Grocery and popular stores, as well as many restaurants, were a short ride away in Venice, and a little further in the other direction in Englewood. Cora, the owner, was lovely and very responsive and helpful as needed. We're looking forward to staying again and to exploring more of the area next year!
