Englewood Beach

"We had a great time during our week stay. We had front-row seats for at least 10 fireworks shows across the bay, and the one for Sanibel Island just beyond the bridge. The fishing pier is right there as shown in the photos - just grab your pole and bait. We caught several snappers. Also got to watch all the boats coming and going into the canal. We also saw several dolphins swimming around near the pier, even without leaving the condo! Island activities are within a few minutes drive including the beach where we found many great shells. Even though some of the waters in the area were of bad quality, we found that Bowman's Beach was not affected. One of the pools is just steps away from this unit and was very clean (wished the water had been cooler due to 90+ temps all week). The only 'complaint' is that the dishwasher was broken (we were advised during check-in) and wasn't fixed until Thursday. The week went by too fast! We will definitely be returning!"

"My wife, myself and our Golden Retriever were at Coconut Hideaway from August 14-21. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time and will be making plans to come back next year. Having been in real estate and property management in South Florida for over 40 years, we were very impressed by the level of detail provided for everything you could possibly need-groceries, boat rentals, local sites, things to do, etc. Coconut Hideaway is different from most rentals in that it has a warm home-like feel rather than the sterile vanilla decor that is typical. It actually feels like you're home on your own private beach. This time of year there were few people on the beach and those we met were very friendly and welcoming. The patio was excellent for reading, relaxing and watching the magnificent sunsets. Many times we saw dolphins swimming by and pelicans diving for their meals. A perfect getaway that we would highly recommend."
