Visiting Englewood? Then this private, budget-friendly Florida house may be the retreat you're looking for! This home away from home offers a prime location in a quiet neighborhood with a creek behind it and near Manasota Key beach and restaurants. This is also a great location for kayaking, boating, and fishing. You'll be conveniently close to Lemon Bay (five miles) and the Gulf of Mexico and the beaches are a short drive away. Make sure to visit Englewood Beach (four miles), Manasota Beach (11 miles), Blind Pass Beach (seven miles), Venice Beach (16.8 miles), or Caspersen Beach (13.5 miles). Oyster Creek Regional Park is within walking distance. Golfers can practice their swing at Venice East Golf Course, only 12 miles away.

Back at the house, you and your family will enjoy marvelous water and nature views and a private outdoor swimming pool. Its serene atmosphere, open layout, and comfortable ambience make it feel just like home. Upon entering, you'll first come across the living room. This space comes equipped with basic furniture, however, it's a good place to hang out with your family and share entertaining conversations or plan your next moves. Continue your tour and you'll find a Florida room with a dining table and a ceiling fan; from here, you'll have great pool and water views. Owners call this view "tropical Wisconsin". Looking across the creek one sees nothing but trees. You never know when a fish will jump or an egret will fly by.

As you continue, you'll encounter the kitchen, dining area, and a small family room. The kitchen features basic appliances and cookware to prepare delicious meals and snacks for the group, as well as conveniences like a new garbage disposal to make cleanup easier. The dining table seats guests (four new folding chairs are there if needed) and the family room has a ceiling fan, TV, a sofa, and an armchair. For other lounging options, try the screened lanai to feel the fresh air on your face. This convenient home also boasts a laundry room with a new washer/dryer combo, enough counter space, and a sink. Both bedrooms come equipped with ensuite bathrooms (one with a walk-in shower and the other with a tub/shower combo) and ceiling fans. The main bedroom also features a small, but convenient desk for remote work. The house includes a screened-in fiberglass pool and also sits on a creek for your boating and fishing needs.

Wonderful waterfront escape!

What more could we ask for? Pool , boat dock , manatees coming by to visit in the creek......we love this home! This was our third visit and will continue to come back. The house and furnishings are very homey and not a "packaged" retreat. We literally felt like we were guests in someone's home. We can't wait to come back in the fall. Thank you for sucha clean and inviting spot!

1970's returns

If I could give this property a zero I would. Could not use walkway as a big prickly bush was impeding it. Needed a 10 digit code just to get in, then greeted by the 1970's. Think the furnishings were from original owners or bought at goodwill. Have stayed at numerous places and this was the worst. A coating of dirt or dust covered every surface in the kitchen and bathrooms. Screens were torn in both the Lanai and the pool area. Pool was gross with dead geckos in it. Drain in bathroom sink clogged. Notified company of problems and only thing corrected was clogged sink and pool cleaned. Could not enjoy pool or lanai due to bugs from broken screens. Kitchen minimally stock could not really cook any meals due to lack of equipment. (i.e. Baking sheet, 9X13 pans). Only spices avail ere salt and pepper. Open container of pasta in pantry. No storage containers or basic supplies. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

Family visit

We brought my parents back to their home for the first time in 2 years after the storm. Their home is small, so my husband and I stayed until he had to go back to NYS. My sister stayed two nights, and my nephew stayed a different 2 nights. This was a comfortable place to relax after working all day at my parents’ house. We swam, cooked, and slept well with everything we needed. It allowed us to spend time with 90 year old parents without being confined by their very limited space.

Trailer Parking

I think it is a general rule from Vrbo that boat trailers cannot be parked in the driveway because there may be an HOA that does not allow it. I think this rule should be adjusted to the home. The neighborhood this home is located in clearly does not have an HOA that restricts the parking of boat trailer. Neighbors all around had boats and trailers parked in their yards. My stay at this house would have been way more convenient if I didn't have to find parking for my boat trailer elsewhere.

Englewood stay

The company was helpful and quick to answer when we had trouble getting in with the door code. The house had everything we needed. I would just say it needs updating but still had what we needed and from pictures we could tell it was a little outdated. The dock was amazing. It was new and perfect for our 19ft boat. Our family had a nice relaxing weekend. I would recommend updating the house that's all. Still met our needs.

Nice house but needs some updating and repairs

The house was clean when we arrived. The washer quit while we were there and had to be replaced. The dryer took forever to dry (had to go to a laundromat the last day we were there) The disposal didn’t work until they came later in the week to fix it. The pool isn’t heated. The bathtub drain would drain very slow after a shower. We had a nice time in spite of all these issues and we did leave 3 days early. We were told by the maintenance lady that we would get an “inconvenience refund” but we haven’t seen anything yet. The maintenance lady was very responsive to these issues but that’s a lot to experience in a week. Not sure we would stay there again.

House and neighborhood need TLC and repairs completed r/t recent hurricane. Englewood needs to step up and address the pervasive litter/trash issues.

How was spacious, stocked with necessities and great location. However, the home is very outdated, and not very clean. It wasn’t dirty, and they certainly sent someone to clean, however it’s so old, that I don’t think it’ll come clean honestly. Many broken blinds, stains on the floor in entryway, 1 bathroom shower head so low that you really have to bend over, and I’m 5-10. Holes in the pool cage outside allowing bugs in. Thankfully it wasn’t so hot that the mosquitoes pretty much stayed away at night when it got cooler. Pool was great for my daughter and my niece, and again, plenty of space. Oh, and how can I forget no TV. You need subscription in order to watch tv. I didn’t go there to watch tv of course, but wanted to check local news, sports updates, etc and couldn’t. For 1200 for 3 nights (first night I didn’t even arrive until 5am next morning due to flight delays) I would expect more is what I’m saying. Overall, I probably wouldn’t use again unless they made some changes.

Nice place, a good ways to the icw by boat.

Garbage cans were full on arrival. No where to out garbage but beside the cans. Sink in kitchen leaks and a post on the dock was broken. A good deep cleaning would do the home good. Need more seating in the room with the tv . Pool was great, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice property

We enjoyed our long weekend with friends in this home. The pool was great; albeit a bit chilly despite paying for it to be heated. You will love the open floor plan and space. You will need to buy almost all supplies, as not much is in the cupboards. This was my first vrbo where we had to buy everything from salt and pepper to laundry soap to toilet paper. We liked the location as it took less than 10 minutes to get to the beach.

Adequate home. Great location.

The home was clean but very basic and outdated. The bedrooms were spacious and we liked the layout of the house. It would have been nice if there was a king-size bed in the master. The beds were uncomfortable and the pull-out sofa was unusable. Luckily there was a blow-up bed that we put in the second bedroom so our kids could each have their own bed. The best part of the house was the location. We loved fishing in the creek and enjoyed the privacy of the backyard. We rented a boat and were able to explore the islands. The pool was cute and clean but we didn’t really use it. I would rent here again because it was a great price for the location, but I wished they would make some updates.

Nice but needs improvement

The layout of the house was great and we loved the view and pool. The only problem we had was the home is advertised for six people but there was nowhere in the house for six people to sit together. There was not a space in the home with seating for more than four. Typically when you rent a home in a beach town for a beach vacation The home comes with basic necessities like a cooler and beach chairs. Beach towels were included but only five were provided not six. Also I’m not really sure why they thought giving us one extra trash bag for a week stay with a family of six was sufficient. It seemed like the house was recently purchased and the bare minimum was done to rent it out.

We spent a weekend in this home and it was so peaceful. The home was spacious and stocked with towels, blankets, and even some paper products. The pool was heated prior to our arrival and was perfectly relaxing. The canal was serene and full of potential for fishing and kayak launching! We will definitely be back!
