Had never been to Englewood. Nice little area with lots of music as we walked around the Main Street. The location of the cottage was perfect to park your car and walk to shops and restaurants. Tom, the host couldn’t have been nicer. Greeting us when we arrived and assured us he would be there to answer any off our questions. Hope to return.

Awesome location in downtown Englewood for easy eating and drinking during your stay! Tom was super cool with the whole experience. We stayed for two nights and got a good nights sleep both nights. The second night the neighbor got a little rowdy with music but it was nice to open the door and have a drink or two with some good background music during the night hours. Super clean, super accessible for all house hood needs. Even gave us a shark tooth sea shell Englewood beach sand souvenir glass to take home. Overall if you’re looking for a nice quiet getaway minutes from great restaurants and great sunset views this is the place! The pizza place across the street was very good and the waterfront restaurant down the road called snooks was a great choice!

My husband and I spent a long weekend enjoying Englewood, and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house was perfect! Probably the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed at, and everything we could have possibly needed was there. It is in the perfect location, walking distance to restaurants and the water. We couldn’t have been happier. We will be back!

We rented this property sight unseen, but for the pictures on VRBO. We were absolutely delighted with everything. Spotlessly clean, beyond convenient for restaurants, parks, quiet walks. The hosts, Tom and Ling, were gracious, friendly and very non intrusive. My wife and I are certainly coming back. If we could give a 6 star rating we would.
