What a gem we found in Englewood! This house was beautifully decorated and more equipped than any rental we have ever had. Anything we could even think of needing was already there including an abundance of towels and beach supplies! The house also really lends itself to guests coming and going and sharing the space with us. The master bedroom and bath are secluded, and along with a second living room area, our guests had their own space and didn’t feel intrusive. A huge backyard with shaded tables and a gas grill really came in handy for the barbecue party that we held for local friends and family. The house is located directly between Beach Road and Deerborn Street - about 2 miles to each. Beach road takes you over the bridge to the magical Manasota key where there is a great free public beach with yoga every morning and even a sundown drum circle at night. There are four great restaurants on the Key with live music that starts at lunch and goes past dinner! If that’s not enough at one end of the key there is even a great state park with more beaches and hiking areas. Back on the mainland, in the other direction of the house is Englewood’s Dearborn Street, where there is great restaurants also with live music and fun events pretty much every weekend. We were able to attend an awesome seafood and music festival while we were there. Every Thursday there’s a huge market day on Dearborn with fresh produce, craft vendors, and of course more music. We had such an incredible time and this house was so awesome that we are planning on spending two months at this property next year!!! Thank you to the managers of this villa!
