Birthday getaway

The overall house was super clean as shown. Disappointed when arriving and seeing the dock was no longer there which picture show it. Neighborhood still looks pretty rough from the hurricane. Quick drive to downtown Venice and other locations which was convenient.

Best vacation getaway

This is by far the best vacation rental that we've ever stayed at. Located just steps from the water just as described. The place was very comfortable and very relaxing with all of the amenities of coastal vacationing right at your fingertips. The town of Englewood is located minutes from shopping and is very easy to navigate. Hope to stay again one day.
