Our stay here was awesome. House was immaculate, well stocked and centrally located. Easy access to manasota key beaches. If you’re lucky you’ll get to hangout with Murray. He’s an incredibly accommodating person with some interesting life experiences to share. Great visit!!!
We’ve stayed in this area before and absolutely love it. This little cottage was everything we expected and more. Public boat ramp was very close and the use of the dock across the street was a great added treat. We also brought our motorcycles and happy to know we also had a spot to park the trailer on the premises. Murray and Kerry were really great host in helping us with cable tv issues. The shower was a bit less than what I’m used to but we struggled through it...haha! In all we had a great month long stay (January 2020) and would consider staying here again!! Thank you for sharing your little spot of paradise! Nancy and Robbie from Tennessee
Property is just like someone just finished setting it up to live in.
Beautiful accents,comfortable we relaxed in the evening just like home. Property owner met us took us on a tour showed us how to operate everything and walked us to the hidden gem of the dock on the bay we spent almost every morning doing some light fishing and watching for manatees and dolphins which we saw almost everyday.
The backyard had a wonderful place to drink morning coffee and at night always a nice breeze with frogs from a small pond adding some ambience and a fire pit. It is on the main highway as some of reviewers noted but our mornings and evenings it was minimal and we really did not notice after the first day , important to note inside is completely sound proof from any traffic.
We will definitely see if available the next time we have a chance to come this way there are many details that just made you feel happy to be there.

Exactly as described !
We totally enjoyed your charming bungalow over our winter getaway from
4/1-4/12/19. The home was exactly as described. Everything we needed. The home was very clean, linens are a great quality, kitchen (plates, utensils, cookware, etc ) are well stocked. We cooked and grilled many meals while we were there. TV viewing includes NetFlix and Pandora. We only had 1 rainy day over our stay and we enjoyed just hanging out at the home. You didn't feel like you had to leave the home as I know we would have felt had we been staying at a hotel. We were very pleased that we chose this property when we were searching. As the pictures show the decor is very inviting and cozy.
The owner Murray, stopped by after we arrived to be sure we knew how to use TV remotes, etc. He showed us the private dock where we could watch sunsets and see fish in the clear water.
The location is great, very close to the beaches. We loved Blind Pass Beach (known to locals as Middle Beach). Free parking and ample spaces to park.
Several different grocery stores all within a few miles. Rhoads Produce barn had wonderful local tomatoes and strawberries.
Thank you Murray and Kerry for making our getaway so perfect.
Had a really nice time. Everything was exactly as described. Check out the Mango Bistro for GREAT vengan food and Joe Maxx for amazing coffee and really knowledgeable staff. Everyone in town was warm and inviting. We got a lot of good info from the locals. 10/10 would stay again! *:・゚✧
Our stay in Englewood/Manasota Key started off a bit tricky & uneasy with the owner double booking the property for our first night. Kerry was quick to communicate & helped with figuring out some type of accommodations to make things right.
Once in the little Florida Bungalow, we were relieved to find a small oasis that was very comfortable, clean & decorated beautifully. We were able to ride bikes to & from Stump Pass Park & surrounding area.
We enjoyed the back deck with all of the glowing lights after long days at the beach!!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Kerri & Murray’s beach bungalow.
We enjoyed our stay here and found the check in process smooth and the communication with owner smooth and responsive on any questions we had. The place was clean, the beds were comfy and it was very tastefully decorated. The only minus was that it’s located right behind a busy multi lane road which I did not realize and the smaller bedroom you can hear the traffic /outside patio is loud due to traffic noise. The bikes were nice to have to take around town into englewood but you need a car for sure if you stay here since it’s not located in town. Close proximity to beaches less than 5 miles away over the bridge.
Great OUTdoor space for teens and young adults. Road is loud but space more than makes up for it. Myself, 40 something male and my 17 year old daughter LOVED IT. Location was superior for driving to eat, beaches, fishing etc. We love it
This “charming bungalow” was exactly as described. From the decor, to the location, close access to Manasota beach, great bay view from the front porch without the cost of being bay front. The owners were responsive and even stopped to check on us during our stay! Even though home boarders a 4 lane road, very quiet inside. Incredible outdoor space,
but due to the cool weather during our stay unable to enjoy. All amenities were available. Perfect place if you are looking for an affordable, darling, 2 bedroom getaway! Pictures do not do this gem justice! Thank you for having us!
We enjoyed this home thoroughly, It allowed us to do exactly, what we had planned, and the Hunt was a success!! The only thin I would add to this rental is a wand in Shower. Overall We loved everything about this rental!!
This place was a great basecamp for our family of 4. We planned to do lots of exploring all along the coast so really we just needed a place to make the kids dinner and sleep. The home is very well decorated & stocked (appears recently updated), clean and perfect size for the 4 of us. I would not recommend trying to fit a 5th person. I also would not recommend if you have any plans to use the outdoor areas of the home.. the backyard is a major highway. The traffic noise is reasonable while in the house..but we couldn't really use the nicely decorated porch or backyard as it was just too noisy. The dock across the street was nice and quiet though. Great for fishing and watching the pelicans. Bring your essentials like paper products, laundry soap, and toiletries... Kerry and Murray have almost everything else you'll need. They were very helpful upon check in. Thanks again for letting us borrow your house for a little bit!
Small, extremely clean cottage. It was stocked with everything you need in the kitchen. We loved sitting out front and out back. We would definitely stay again. From the restaurants and beach less then 2 miles away to the convenience of being near supermarkets, it was what we needed for a short get away.
Cozy house with a great front porch and access to a boat dock.
Murray was awesome and helped us with whatever we needed. We have a new friend and will be visiting again soon!
We loved staying in the Charming beachy bungalow”. It was everything that was promised! The sunsets on the dock were amazing and every night was cozy in the house. You could not have a better location. Thank you Murray and Kerry!!!!

Good location
The location was very convenient to the beach, stores and restaurants. It however was next to the highway and there was a lot of traffic noise. It was better at night but during the day you could not sit on the deck and talk. The front porch was better. The kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom was in need of more light. The bed was very comfortable. A big drawback was that there was no table in the kitchen. The deck had a nice table and chairs and a grill and a gurgling pond with frogs, but we had a couple of windy days which made eating outside impossible, so a table and chairs in the kitchen would have been nice. There was a small "bar" but the stools were very uncomfortable. And not having an inside table meant that when we had company over at night to play cards, we really didn't have a good place to play.
