Location. Location. Location...this little beauty has it all. Close to shopping, beaches and walking distance to Old Englewood shops, restaurants and Thursday Market. This cottage is located in "Tiki on the Bay", a small enclave of similar cottages that share a swimming pool. It has recently been beautifully renovated from top to bottom to create a warm and inviting beachy feel...new comfy furnishings, large well designed kitchen, beautiful shower...the list goes on and on. Then there is the Bay! A wharf to fish from or tie up your boat and a dock to sit on to watch the eagles, dolphins, manatees and the best place to watch spectacular sunsets. Top this off with attentive hosts Kent and Penny who were always only a call or text away and ready to share their knowledge of local restaurants and attractions to help make your stay as perfect as possible.

We had a wonderful stay. Short distance to the beaches. Beautiful sunsets in the bay. Dolphins and manatee from the dock. The cottage was very clean and nice.

What a lovely location for just relaxing or keeping busy with nearby attractions and activities! The cottage is relatively small, but cute, beachy and clean and had everything we could possibly need (including laundry facilities!) The owners were quick to answer any questions and provide ideas and recommendations. From the cottage, it's just an easy walk to historic Dearborn St. with its restaurants and shops, farmer's market (Thursday a.m.), and car show on the first Saturday of each month. We also found we had easy access to the surrounding cities of Sarasota, Venice, North Port, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and Boca Grande. We were able to watch manatees and fish from the dock, access nearby beaches, rent kayaks /boats, and visit state parks, museums, rookeries, and local tours. There was never an end to the list of things to do, we just ran out of time! We also took time to relax, swim in the heated pool, and have cocktails on our own private deck while watching the gorgeous sunsets over Lemon Bay! Wish we had more vacation time!

Extremely clean and well equipped. Location on Lemon Bay is beautiful and well kept up. Ideal for couples. I can’t wait to return.

EVERYTHING WAS GREAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE POOL BEING CLOSED FOR REPAIR. WE NEVER SAW ANYONE WORKING ON IT THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE THERE. OTHER THAN THAT IT WAS A NICE PLACE TO STAY AND VERY CLOSE TO THE BEACH.

Nice location, low key, laid back and convenient. Complex is sort of a tucked away gem. Property is older but obviously very well maintained. Super clean.

What a perfect place to getaway! The cottage is small but it has everything you need to relax and recharge. The pier is a short walk from the front door and the view of the bay is beautiful. The neighbors are friendly and helpful too. We visited the beaches in the area and they are all clean and spacious even when busy. The pool is very clean and well maintained. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and Kent gave us great recommendations. In the evening we just sat at the dock and watched the water. We didn’t have great weather so we missed out on the great sunsets, but we will surely return to catch them. Thank you Kent for your hospitality!

Met and/or exceeded my expectations. Convenient to Englewood, Venice and Boca Grande. Beautiful view of Lemon Bay.
