I have stayed in many homes in Englewood over the last 35 years. This home is by far the best that we have ever stayed at. Easy check in an check out. Everything was top notch; all you need to bring is your bathing suit and fishing rod. Most beautiful sunsets ever.

Beautiful flat and great view!

We enjoyed the stay - Englewood is low key location, yet a short trip to Venice, Siesta Key, Boca Grande and local beaches. Sadly the dock was not available due to Milton last year but local captain took us out on the Gulf and we caught a great dinner. Anna was super responsive to any questions I had. We look forward to a future visit.

Small fishing trip

Property was in pretty good shape. Only thing I would add with some TVs in the bedrooms. It was just me and my grandson and he brought his PlayStation. He was only able to hook it up in the living room.

The overall house was super clean as shown. Disappointed when arriving and seeing the dock was no longer there which picture show it. Neighborhood still looks pretty rough from the hurricane. Quick drive to downtown Venice and other locations which was convenient.

Best vacation getaway

This is by far the best vacation rental that we've ever stayed at. Located just steps from the water just as described. The place was very comfortable and very relaxing with all of the amenities of coastal vacationing right at your fingertips. The town of Englewood is located minutes from shopping and is very easy to navigate. Hope to stay again one day.

About the host

Host profile image
Rick and I bought our first home in Florida in 2020. We joined the 2020 work from anywhere movement so now we can live our dream of living where we want and travelling all over. We are back and forth between Florida and Virginia. We are very active and love to travel, bike, hike and kayak. We also have an RV and have traveled all over the US and Canada! We love to meet new people, trying new foods, discovering new areas (being a "local"), and making memories. Thank you so much for considering our home for your next vacation!
