My husband and I rented this property for a weekend getaway to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! We had such an amazing time and enjoyed the proximity to the beach as well as surrounding restaurants. We will definitely rebook with this owner again!
This condo has an amazing front row view of the gulf with its beautiful sunsets! My husband and I stayed for a week and enjoyed mornings and evenings sitting on the deck taking in the ocean air and view. It's incredible!It is also well taken care of, very clean, and had everything we needed for an amazing stay and fun times on the beach.We discovered that there are lots of shark teeth to be found if you're willing to hunt and sea shells galore. Rikke was responsive to my texts and made check in super easy. We would definitely stay here again.
My best friend and I take an annual beach getaway, usually staying on the beautiful shores of AMI. This year, we decided to try something new, and honestly, we couldnât be happier! The sand isnât as nice as Anna Mariaâs, but everything else more than makes up for it. This was by far the best rental weâve ever had! The views from inside and on the porch were absolutely stunning! We spent so much time relaxing in the rocking chairs out frontâthey quickly became our favorite spot (besides the beach itself). We didnât even realize what weâd been missing until now. This place is much more secluded than our usual spots, so we enjoyed a peaceful, neighbor-free experience that made this our most tranquil trip yet. The furniture was all really comfortable, and we loved having the washer and dryer right behind a door on the front porchâthatâs such a nice touch. Rikke, our host, was fantasticâvery responsive and friendly. Weâre definitely planning to make this our go-to spot for our annual beach trips from now on!
the condo was everything that was advertised. Could use a gas grill. The only thing was that when the upstairs tenants moved their deck furniture, it sounded like they were coming through the roof of our unit. we did have 4 days/nights of very peaceful rest and quiet. The second tenants did the same with the deck furniture and also had some sort of a machine that ran from 9PM to about 7AM every night, sounded like a car engine running.
This was a very nice older, two-story condo, with an outstanding deck that was only about 40 yards from the waterâs edge. Quiet beach. It really gets dark at night, none of the ambient light from big condo complexes (none of thise on Englewood). A number of nice restaurants and beach bars were only 2-3 minute drive or a short walk. Beachcomber was greatatmosphere and good âbar foodâ. Farlowâs was a 10 minute drive but outstanding seafood. Publix, Starbucks, and Walmart are only a 7-10 minute drive. Nokomis Beach, which is wonderful and open, was only a 30 minute drive. Perfect couples condo.
We had a wonderful stay at this property on Manasota Key. The place was clean, perfectly located, and had everything we needed. We would definitely return to this property and recommend it to others (unless we want it for that week)!
You can't beat the proximity to the beach for this condo. Although the condo is a cute comfortable unit, we felt there were a few things that kept us from giving it 5 stars. We've stayed at many condos and they usually provide a starter for laundry. We had to purchase our own and ended up leaving the rest because we couldn't bring it on the plane. The beach chairs are old and rusty and there was no umbrella. When I contacted the owner she said they don't provide one anymore and if I wanted one I had to purchase my own. Really? I'm going to purchase my own beach umbrella? So, I have to purchase one for the condo but not the owner. Wow. It would have been nice to hear she was sorry for the inconvenience. The water pressure is very low and the 2nd shower head needs to be replaced. The internet is spotty and when talking on the phone, our calls were breaking in and out. When watching TV, there was a lot of buffering. Being on the first floor, you hear a lot of noises from the guests above you. It's not completely sound proof and that was frustrating, especially at night. The garbage disposal didn't work and we ended up having to dig out what we put down the sink. I told the owner and she said, "ok." The sliding door needs to have a screen on it. You're unable to keep it open and enjoy the sound of the waves and feel the ocean breeze. Doesn't make sense.Overall, we loved being so close to the beach but we won't stay at this condo again.
This was our first year in 21 years of us not being able to stay in our âhome away from homeâ on the key due to the mass destruction from both Helene and Milton. We decided to book a last minute vacation back to Manasota Key to have closure from where we have stayed and to recharge from a very cold New England winter. We not only recharged but this condo allowed us to have pure relaxation whether it was on the beach or on the porch in a rocking chair. Everything you need is supplied to you. The unit has a comfy and cozy atmosphere to relax after a day in the sun. The condo is walking distance to the restaurants that have all reopened. It will take time for the key to rebuild but it is so worth the trip. One recommendation would be to please have beach umbrellas and newer chairs. We cannot wait to return in the future.
This property was the perfect beachfront location for our vacation. It has everything you need to set up housekeeping, with a spacious gulf side balcony upon which to relax between beach walks. The owner provided complete information so that arrival and leaving were easy.
My husband and I stayed in Englewood April 2024 and loved it. This time, I needed to make a trip to Florida for a medical procedure and decided to stay again in Englewood. I knew the hurricane had hit the area hard and was hoping there would be properties open to rent, and much to my delight we found this property! Everything was wonderful, including the beaches and the company. There is still so much destruction in the area but I was still able to see the beauty and serenity despite it all. There is something magnificent about nature and what it can create and take away.. I am so thankful this property was available to rent and we look forward to returning soon!
All we can say is WOW! The property was exactly as described. The view was AMAZING and it was exactly what we needed...quiet, peaceful and relaxing!! Loved the SUNSETS!
