Although our primary interest was to enjoy warm weather for a couple winter months, this condo would be great year round. It was nicely furnished, well located near shopping and sporting areas, and was well equipped with all the kitchen gadgets needed. We stayed for eight weeks enjoying what Florida has to offer. We spent time fishing Myakka River on the facility's pier, soaking in the pool, and taking long walks and bike rides around the neighborhood. There is also a public fishing pier within walking distance. Englewood Beach and Manasota Key are nearby so some days were spent with beach activities and collecting sharks teeth. Several wild life preserves are close by where you can see gators, birds of all types, and the jungles of the subtropics. We met many friendly people, mostly retired folks, who either own their condos or are guests who come back annualy. Jacqueline's condo was just what we needed to have a lovely home away from home this winter. I would definitely recommend renting from Jacqueline if spending some time in Florida is of interest to you.
