About the host
Hosted by Alan and Kim
We have lived in Englewood for 45 years combined! We've traveled all over, mostly in our motorhome and although fun to see the country, this is where our heart is. There is no place like here (to us!) We love the area, our current home is minutes away from this location. We kayak, fish, play lots of golf, enjoy the beach and everything the area has to offer. We will be thrilled to offer our personal expertise on how to make your vacation one to remember. We're always available for expert guidance on our area, and will arm you with all there is to do and true southern hospitality.
Why they chose this property
This location is just awesome, simply put. When people say "Manasota Beach" area or neighborhood, THIS IS IT. 2 minute drive, 5 minute bike or 15 minute walk to the Beach. Don't get stuck in a location like south venice or anything south of Manasota beach road-this is it. Our home is adorably decorated, "happy" and equipped with everything you need for a great stay +++. Our guests have all raved about the Shell House and have re-booked for next year-please read our reviews. We are not owners who pass our home off to a rental agency or management company-we take care of it ourselves. We clean it ourselves-and ensure its perfect for your stay. Englewood/Venice area is such a beautiful, tropical oasis away from the big city. Living 5 minutes away from our vacation rental, we're always on hand to assist with your stay. We know where to go, what to do, who to call and such much more! So many options for fishing-from docks to kayak and beach, options abound and we're here to help set you up! We have hosted our families for numerous years and introduced them to Englewood, we look forward to hosting you. Ride the bike or walk or drive to the best beach in the area, and if you want to go to others, you can-Middle Beach right down Beach road, Englewood Beach too where you can parasail, rent a boat, paddle board and so much more. Golf cart rental-local business will drop off and pick-up! Great restaurants abound. Head to Venice Beach or Casperson for amazing sharks teeth-it can be quite addicting! Venice Fishing Pier/Sharky's Restaurant is a favorite for everyone. You will be in the heart of everything-yet enjoy tranquility, gulf breezes and fresh air. It simply doesn't get better than this.
What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location! 0.9 miles to Manasota Beach, that's it! 2 minute drive, 5 minute bike or 15 minute walk via bike lanes (there's even an alternate route to stay off Manasota Beach Rd. if you choose.) Very private, dead-end road with Sarasota county walking trails at the end and a scrub jay preserve! Traffic is limited to the few neighbors on the street (so peaceful!) Outdoor spaces abound...sit on the private deck under the gorgeous oak tree that provides amazing shade from the Florida sun. The backyard offers abundant wildlife viewing...and listening! The home is adorably updated, and attention to detail is our specialty! You can't go wrong with booking here, it is something special and you will be capturing great photos left and right. Our mission is to provide an amazing vacation experience for you, one that you will be ecstatic with. Being in the heart of Sarasota county is truly exceptional, you will be delighted with the location and our hospitality!
