the pool was filthy and had rust stains which cause bacteria. How could expect people to safely swim in it. The master toilet was left with someone elses stuff in itand the toilet didnt flush. The renter was comopletely in denail and unresponsive until I actually told her I was leaving with my family and would not be staying there. The only thing she said was that the pool stains would not come out. I repeatedly asked her to call me and she said she was not availble to call. There was mold in the closets and panel coming off the walls. The step out to the pool areas is extremely dangerous and not safe for anyone. My mother almost fell as wel as my grandson. Completely unacceptable. Fighting to get my money back. DONT STAY HERE!

No surprises here! Just a great space for our family to gather and looks exactly like the photos. The pool was the highlight and very well heated and comfortable. It was a perfect place to gather after a day at the beach. The floor plan was nicely spread out so we didn’t feel crowded. Be careful on the number of people you state are attending as there may be extra charges for over a certain number that isn’t clear in the description. Confirm check in and check out times as they are different than described. We decided not to bring our dog from our original reservation and were given a small refund at the end. Enjoy!

Would stay again

Fantastic

Loved the house. The pool was fantastic and really enjoyed the outdoor TV/hangout area by the pool. The house was clean, beds were comfortable and all of the tools were there to cook at home vs going out to restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again

We absolutely loved the home and will probably book again with her soon. Thank you for a wonderful family stay.

My husband is originally from Englewood and we have been coming down for the past ten years to visit family and friends. We always stay in the Rotonda area for the convenience. The Pros: This is a great house in a central location. The pool is a nice size and stays cool in the Florida heat. The patio area had outside fans which helped with bugs and keeping cool. The fenced in yard helps to keep your pup from exploring, but be mindful gators do climb fences. The house has everything you need and more (bikes, kayaks, pool floats, cooler, and even a crib in the garage). The sliding screen doors on the garage was a great bonus. The kitchen was stocked with nice pots and pans which helped out with our low country boil. Open floorplan and spilt bedrooms was a great feature. The Cons: The property details states that there is a gas grill (which there is), however, it makes no statement that they do not provide or guarantee that the tank will have propane in it. You must take care of this yourself. Every house I have rented in Englewood has come with a full propane tank. It has even been delivered when the current one was empty or ran out. Would I have still rented the home? Maybe, maybe not (given the price point to rent), but knowing a head of time would have made planning a whole lot easier. When we planned to grill out 4 of the 8 nights we were there, having to change our menu due to the 1/4 tank of gas was frustrating to say the least. After all, purchasing a full tank of gas that we would be expected to leave was not cost effective either. Understandably, each rental is different and at the owners accord as to what they want to provide or not provide. But, the listing for the house should communicate to a potential renter that something like this is not provided, so they can make an informed decision. Helpful Hint: In the past the majority of homes that we stayed in had a notebook which was usually left out in a common area that provided information about the home and surrounding area. Not that we need info about Englewood, but others might. It normally provides helpful hints regarding the property and other things to be mindful about. This would help a renter learn more about the house, where items are located (like the wi-fi receiver) and how certain things work or do not work. Overall, the house is a very nice house and the neighbors were pleasant as well.

We really enjoyed our stay. House is well-equipped from kitchen to pool area for a week's stay. Wildlife in the canal was entertaining to watch, pool is fabulous, and beds are really comfortable. A great experience!
