About this house rental

Unique, whimsical beach cottage set on a special little pond that we share with exquisite Florida seabirds. You can also choose to rent this fun "Convertible PT Cruiser" to complete your vacation. The cottage is tastefully decorated with a seaside theme to give guests the feel of a true summer beach vacation. It is just a quick 7 min drive to the beach and only 2 mins from Old Englewood’s famous Dearborn Street with its fun shops, bars & dining. Golf courses, jetski/boat rentals, etc. close by.
The space
The pond is actually owned by the beautiful, protected birds who reside there, but they have graciously allowed us to share it with them. There are egrets, blue herons, wood-storks, ibis and plenty of other species that are a truly breathtaking sight to behold. Our birds will come right up to the lanai to share the sunset with you or provide delightful entertainment during your morning coffee. They are harmless, polite, never loud or annoying and they don’t poo everywhere like geese. Your kids or grandkids will love them!

The home has an open floor plan with two bedrooms, both en-suite and at different ends of the property, allowing utmost privacy. The master bedroom has a King bed and leads out to the lanai. The guest room has bunk beds with a Queen at the bottom and a Single on top. The property comfortably sleeps 5 people, but I have blow up beds for extra guests and kids.

The large glass sliding doors pocket away to allow for indoor/outdoor Florida living. The kitchen comes with all the necessary appliances including a Keurig for the coffee connoisseur, an electric kettle for the tea drinker, and a regular old (well actually its new) coffee maker for those who don’t want all the fancy-schmancy stuff. Also, there is a steamer, a slow cooker, a mixer, an Instapot, and lots of other extra kitchen gadgets.

Englewood is a true "Old Florida", charming little coastal town, nestled between Venice and Port Charlotte. “Woodstork Pond Cottage” is located in Piccadilly Estates, a lovely quiet, very safe, private community. There are many beaches close by, plus golf courses, bars, dining, and shopping. The local Farmers Market on Thursdays in “Old Englewood” is always fun, they have jazz nights on Dearborn, a sunset beach drum circle close by, and lots of other activities for your pleasure all just a few minutes away.

Susie was very hospitable - she reached out to me to let me know how her first visitor from England, who was arriving before us, could access the property and we had a very friendly conversation. The cottage itself was comfortable and clean, and also was generously stocked and supplied. It was decorated in pinks, mauves and blues, with solid, good quality furniture and spacious wardrobes. The two bedroom suites made it very easy to share with our grown offspring and there was a comfortable sitting room. The screened-in lanai overlooked the wild pond where we could watch for wildlife. With two large dining tables we were spoiled for choice about where to sit at shared meals. Lovely home, lovely host.

Wonderful home that is so adorably decorated and homey! Has everything you need for a peaceful and comfortable stay yet very close to the beaches and all Englewood has to offer. Really great community and neighborhood. Great pond out back where one can sit and enjoy the amazing birds, tortoise’s, and alligators! Love this place and so grateful for the stay.

We enjoyed our stay. We did ask the owner about the bikes she had as an amenity for her property description. She went out of her way to make sure they were in working condition when we arrived. She may want to invest in coaster bikes. Her bikes were hard to ride. Beach chairs were also mentioned in the property description. We, unfortunately, had to purchase new ones because the ones she offered were broken. My recommendation is for the property manager to make sure all items listed on the rental property are in good shape and operating for each renter. All and all it was a nice trip but we would have had enjoyed our stay more if the bikes and beach equipment were in better shape.

Suzie saved our vacation!!! Her timely response and helpfulness after a problem with another property was so appreciated. The property was absolute perfection. Everything we needed and more! After 30 vacationing years I can say Woodstork cottage was the most creatively decorated , relaxing , and enjoyable property we’ve ever stayed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your beautiful home with us!

This is a wonderful cottage in a very quiet neighborhood close to the beaches, the downtown, and wonderful restaurants. The lanai was our favorite room with its view of the pond complete with lots of birds and, of course, the woodstorks! Susie is a tremendous property owner who made our stay very special and has an eye for the decor you will appreciate when you enjoy this very special rental. My wife and I couldn't have been more pleased. We'll be back!

We came to stay at Woodstork Pond Cottage because it looked like such a magical place and it definitely did not disappoint. The house is decorated so beautifully, with so much attention to detail. The neighborhood is so nice and quiet and the pond brings so much wildlife to it, it’s really remarkable. We were looking for rest and relaxation and we definitely found the perfect place to relax and reset. The area has an old Florida feel and the beach is really clean and beautiful. The house had everything we needed and Susie really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again ❤️

The place is gorgeous but it was incorrectly advertised as 4 bedrooms when it’s only 2 bedrooms. Big difference

Such a fun property! Exactly like the pictures - spacious with wonderful accommodations. Susie provided so many extras. Just a few minutes to the beautiful Englewood beach. Close to Dearborn St. with restaurants and shops. Susie is the best! Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed sitting on the Lanai drinking coffee in the morning watching all the different kinds of birds that are unique to Florida. Susie is a very creative decorator and a great host. The house has an eclectic mixture of her own coastal Floridian theme with mermaids, paintings, an array of colors and colorful lights.

Susie’s home was lovely - just as the pictures showed. Susie was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The pond was very entertaining to watch the different birds coming and going and trying to identify them with the help of her guidebook. Great relaxing week on her beautiful lanai.

The house is adorable and welcoming. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could need. Check in was super easy and the host allowed us to check in, in the middle of the night which was really awesome since we left late because of my husbands job. The kids loved the bunk beds and feeding the birds in the backyard. It’s only a couple of minutes to the best beaches! And there was even a happy birthday banner in the front of house for my little girl, which was the sweetest thing ever. We will be back. We absolutely loved it!!

We had an amazing time at the Woodstorck Pond cottage! Our interaction with Susie were fantastic! She is a very sweet homeowner and very considerate. We loved every aspect of the cottage and there were so many details in design that made it such a whimsical place to stay. We had everything we needed and the place was so clean and comfortable! We wish we could have stayed a week! We would definitely come back if we could! We loved that the beach was nearby and if you want shopping or restaurants they aren't but severalminutes down the road:)
