This unit is a 2/1 rental unit and is on the top floor of a 2 story Carriage/Guest House. The bottom unit is a 1/1, VRBO #895527. It has gorgeous views of the Gulf from several windows. The Master Bedroom has a king bed and the 2nd Bedroom has a queen bed. There is a full bathroom with a double sink, tub/shower combo, new cabinets, mirrors, lighting and tile. There is a fully stocked kitchen with NEW stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, fridge, microwave, stove, range), granite counter tops, cabinets and porcelain tile. The dining area has a table and 4 chairs and 2 folding chairs for more guests. The living area has a queen sleeper sofa. (sleeps 6)

There is a screened gulf front patio with spectacular, panoramic, unobstructed, pristine views of the Gulf of Mexico. The unit overlooks the gulf and offers a serene setting with waves crashing onto the rocks just steps from your door.

We have provided a patio table, 6 chairs and a large umbrella for dining, 4 comfortable lounge chairs, additional umbrellas if needed and a fire-pit. There are also a couple of benches and a couch overlooking the water for sunset relaxation. The right side of our property is designated for owner activities please :)

Cute and clean beach cottage
Our stay was great. The upstairs cottage has a small screened in porch, and great air conditioning. The outdoor shower was nice to rinse salt/sand off. Great view of the waves. Fully equipped kitchen. If I was going to think of anything that could be improved upon, a larger outside shaded area would be welcome for the bright sunny/hot summer days to lengthen our time outside…maybe like one of those larger sun sails or a canopy of some sort. They do provide some smaller beach umbrellas and plenty of seating and grills. Its an adorable (and pet friendly!!) property and thankful to have found it!! We look forward to staying again.

Weekend Getaway
There is nothing like a relaxing weekend stay at the beach (except for a full week at the beach) and this place provided everything we could have wanted. Peaceful setting right on the water, no crowds, no loud noise, just peaceful time in a beautiful setting. Francine does a wonderful job providing everything you need. The sunsets are breathtaking, the shelling is great, the walks on the beach are memorable. This was our second stay and I'm sure there will be many more in our future.

We are in LOVE!!!
We absolutely loved our two weeks stay at Cottages By The Sea in Englewood. Our hosts, Fran and Fred went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything that we would need. We were so surprised when we opened the frig to fine a nice bottle of Champagne that they left for us to enjoy on our 50th Wedding Anniversary! We walked miles and miles every day and found all kinds of shells and tons of shark's teeth, over 600 shark's teeth in total!!! We went to the Dearborn Street market on both Thursdays while we were there which was AWESOME. So much to do in this cool community. We loved that Englewood is such a dog friendly community too. We met so many people from all over the USA and a family who were visiting from France too!! We will definitely be back for another stay here!!!

This property is fantastic!! The pictures do not do it justice. Ocean and beach are 50 feet from the patio. Best ocean front I have stayed in. Apartment was clean had everything we could have needed. We just did a girls weekend but would defiantly come back for longer!! Francine was very nice and answered all questions. Highly recommend!!!

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed in the unit since 2009 - with a different owner each time. It gets better every time! Furniture and master bed are comfy and kitchen is very well stocked. The beach is perfection - beautiful old Florida. We ate at Lock and Key and drove to Venice to Captain Eddie’s. Both are wonderful. Francine is a gracious host and met us at check in to give us a tour. We’ll definitely be back!

Fabulous stay
I've been looking for a new place since my usual on Sanibel was destroyed by Ian. This one is just about as quiet and the unit is even closer to the beach. I'm thrilled and will go back. I debated not giving a good review because that means I'll have more competition when I want to return, but Francine is so wonderful, I couldn't do it.

Simply the best
This is our second stay here. We loved the first stay in ‘21 and we loved the second stay in ‘23. It’s a perfect location as you are steps from the beach. It’s easy to access all the great things Manasota and Englewood have to offer as well

Great location
We really missed the trees. They are still in the photo but the storm a year ago destroyed the look and feel of this spot. Overall the place could use some updating but all was functional. This was our third visit. It was a good time. The weather and beach was beautiful.
