Our spacious, comfortable, updated 2nd floor condo is just steps away from the heated swimming pool at the friendly Palm Manor complex in Englewood. Situated on the Gulf of Mexico between Sarasota and Fort Myers this location is fantastic for the Florida lifestyle. Less than 10 minutes away from our condo is Englewood Beach on Manasota Key (a barrier island just off the mainland) where you can enjoy fishing, searching for shells and sharks teeth or simply 'relaxing' on the warm, white sand by the turquoise sea. You are spoilt for choice with several other stunning beaches all within a short distance.
Palm Manor offers many activities on site, such as swimming in the heated pool, tennis, shuffleboard, and in the clubhouse - ping pong and pool. Books, games and jigsaw puzzles are also available for your use. Hungry? - there is a well sited BBQ/picnic area which is very popular with guests.
Just across the street is Merchants Crossing and next door is Palm Plaza. These two shopping centers will cover all your wants and needs being home to Publix, Aldi, Bealls, Home Goods, Bank of America, as well as many other shops, restaurants and banks. These include 2 large Charity Stores - Goodwill & Suncoast Animal Welfare.
Nearby is 'olde' Englewood on Dearborn Street. With its many charming buildings in the 'Florida' style and its quaint cafes and artisan shops it is well worth a visit.
If fishing is your game there are lots of choices within the Englewood area. Apart from the Gulf beaches , there is Lemon Bay, the pier by the beach, or if deep - sea fishing appeals there are lots of boat-hire opportunities.
For the golfer Englewood has lots of golf courses to choose from in all price ranges.
If you are a 'nature lover'/ bird spotter you are spoilt for choice with lots of nature trails in the area just waiting to be explored. These include Cedar Point which gives direct access to Lemon Bay.
Englewood has it all.
