I have stayed in many homes in Englewood over the last 35 years. This home is by far the best that we have ever stayed at. Easy check in an check out. Everything was top notch; all you need to bring is your bathing suit and fishing rod. Most beautiful sunsets ever.

Beautiful flat and great view!

We enjoyed the stay - Englewood is low key location, yet a short trip to Venice, Siesta Key, Boca Grande and local beaches. Sadly the dock was not available due to Milton last year but local captain took us out on the Gulf and we caught a great dinner. Anna was super responsive to any questions I had. We look forward to a future visit.
