We rented this property for 5 nights while visiting friends in the area. The house was beautiful and located a very short walk to the private neighborhood beach. We also enjoyed the heated pool and utilized the gas grill provided. The owner was good about responding to inquiries. This included graciously allowing us to have our 2 small dogs stay with us (we requested in advance). Englewood wasn't busy when we visited, so our stay was truly relaxing and low key...Just perfect!
It is a lovely open plan home. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and silverware. Kiddos complained that the pool was too hot. It gets direct sun and a hot July made it uncomfortable.
It was amazing! Everything was so beautiful the house the beach all of it! The home was well stocked with more then we ever imagined! Literally we had everything we needed! The private beach access was spectacular!! Cant wait to come back!
This was our 4th straight summer vacation to Manasota Key. However, itâs our first staying at Island Oasis and first working with Gulf realty. The owners and Gulf realty are wonderful and the property was amazing. If your looking at this listing and concerned about the walk to the beach (as I was) itâs not a far walk to the beach and more importantlyâŠ.itâs a pleasant walk. My husband, 2 children and myself (none of us walk empty handed to the beach, the owners had also had new beach gear delivered to the house the day we arrived for everyone to use, we were very grateful for a wagon and umbrella to use) we had no trouble walking to the beach even in the July heat! The house and pool were perfect and we canât wait to visit again!
Had a great family vacation. House was wonderful. Very clean and had everything we needed in it. Pool was a saver with the heat. Short walk to beach. Dock was nice to watch dolphins in early morning and late night.
Very calm, serene area. House clean, nicely furnished and decorated. Although it was the coldest week in 3 years, the weather was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. We are now looking to buy a property in the Englewood area due to this experience.
The house is def a decent place. Clean, stocked well with linens and towels. Hood layout. Good location. Def could use some landscape upgrades. Everything is over grown and trimmed back vs nicely groomed. Pool was nice. Patio cushions need pitched- stained and mildewed. . Cement could use a scrubbing. Screens are in need of repair, lots of gaps and pulled away from frame. I would give it 5 stars if the âjungleâ would have been better maintained.
The house was exactly as described. Check in was easy and quick at the office nearby. The location was quiet and private, barely heard traffic the entire week. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed (bring your own soap, shampoo, tp). Beds were extremely comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The private beach access across the street we were never able to actually access as the water cones right to the steps but maybe we never were there at low tide. Either way there were 4 beaches nearby, all with tons of shark teeth to collect. The dock on the bay was great for fishing and has seats as well. Plenty of stores nearby for groceries and conveniences. Five star rental!
