A contact number is in the book to reach me when needed.
Englewood is a quaint community that is known for Mom and Pop shops as opposed to franchise and big box stores. Manasota Key has several unique dining experiences with live music and entertainment nightly. Manasota Key Road extends the length of the 11 mile island. Hugged by an oak canopy, it makes for a great sight seeing trip whether by bike or car. The road is narrow so proceed cautiously and be mindful of bicyclists and pedestrians. This home is .4 of a mile from the beach and as well a public boat launch.
You have access to the full property. If you are looking for privacy and seclusion, this is the home for you.
