Our stay was excellent- the house was great for our group.Everything was perfect at the house- clean, plenty of space, beach towels, supplies, pool toys.Gwen always responded very quickly and handled everything perfectly. G was also very helpful in answering some questions! We loved our stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this home in Englewood. The house itself is beautiful and full of charming, old-school character that made it feel cozy and unique. It was also very well stocked with everything we needed during our stay. The pool and hot tub were a huge highlight—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the Florida weather.The only downsides we experienced were with the coffee machines, which didn’t heat very well, and the Keurig seemed to be malfunctioning. Additionally, the house tended to stay quite warm and never fully cooled down, especially at night, which made sleeping a bit uncomfortable.Overall, we truly enjoyed our time here and would recommend it.

Thank you so much for your 5 star review!!
I'm so happy you and your group had a wonderful stay.
*Just as a heads up, if you had responded when you first noticed the HVAC not cooling and the coffee makers not responding well, I would have been able to respond while you were there. I had my AC company run by (their shop is close) and they found one of the HVAC'S was low on coolant. They added freon and it is cooling nicely now. Regarding the coffee makers, Walmart is 5 minutes away and can deliver replacement items for the house in less than an hour. I definitely appreciate you letting me know for future guests!
Host was great on communication. House was in good shape, and they did a great job anticipating our needs in the kitchen and throughout the house. Would rent this property again (if available).
Perfect home for my family to gather and relax. Location to the beach, along with the homes amenities, was just the little winter getaway we needed. Gwen was sweet, attentive and VERY accommodating! We would definitely come again!
My family and I enjoyed a lovely stay in this home where all the rooms were spacious and comfy. We were all thankful for the heated pool and hot tub, as in December that’s a must. The fact we were just a 15-minute walk from gorgeous Manasota Beach was a huge perk and especially when the parking lots were completely filled.Communications with Gwen were timely and informative. Gwen was able to remedy concerns and had repair men eager to make the improvements. The neighborhood was quiet and as a bonus we met two of the neighbors who were quite friendly and helpful.THANK YOU, Gwen!
Great place for a family get together. Walking distance to beach. Not far from area attractions and restaurants. Comfortable accommodations for a family gathering including a clean refreshing pool surrounded by shady decks. The hot tub was clean but we didn't use it since it was hot outside.
Everything was wonderful. Check-in was easy and Gwen was very helpful. The house is roomy and delightful. There were 10 in our party ranging from 3yrs to 76yrs. We had plenty of room and privacy. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool. The beach was close. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
We had plenty of beds, towels, bathrooms, and a very well stocked kitchen that made our stay amazing! Having a pool where we could easily watch the kids swim while we cooked was another aspect we loved! Only 2 minutes from the beach made it where we could quickly run back if we forgot something and for lunch. We wish we could find a house like this everywhere we travel!!!
We rented this for our family for thanksgiving. Beds were amazing, had everything that you could need, management was attentive and helpful. Overall is was a great place to stay with all the comfort and fixings of your own home.
It was a huge place with a lot of charm. Walking to the beach is a real treat. The house has a lot to offer. The upstairs suite is perfect for family. Loved the stuffed animals for the kids.

Thank you Linda and thank you for staying with us.
This place was great. The lay out around the pool was really cool. The thing I loved most was how quiet the street and surrounding streets were. The short walk to the beach.
We very much enjoyed staying at the house. A lot of room for my entire family and the kids loved swimming in the pool. Location was close to the beach and we had a great time searching for shark teeth.

Thank you so much Shannon for your 5 star review. I appreciate your kindness and enjoyment of the house!
We were thrilled with the house and location last year, so returned for "year 2". The house is very functional for a larger family and accommodating to our needs. Love the short walk to the beach and surrounding neighborhood. Already looking forward to next year.
The owner Gwen, was great to work with, always available via phone. Location was great for early morning access to Manasota Key for shark teeth hunting. Truly enjoyed our stay!!!!
