We loved this house in Englewood. It is very well furnished, full of kitchen supplies and cookware (you won't need to bring anything other than groceries), comfortable, clean and rather elegant in a home-spun kind of way. Wonderful tables and chairs, beds aplenty, a fun pool, and an excellent outdoor grill. Everything worked properly, the home was spotlessly clean, the communications with Lou and Rita were excellent (we had some reservation troubles but they worked through it with us patiently and kindly), and we were able to relax and enjoy all of the beaches (Englewood, Manasota, and Boca Grande) that are nearby. Access to Interstate 75 was easy and quick, and we ran up to Sarasota a couple of times for big city fun. But the house is tucked away in a quiet, peaceful and well-to-do neighborhood, and we could have just as happily stayed home to relax in the sun and the pool. The TV/DVD/Blue Ray/Sound system was state of the art and easy to use (if you know your way around five different remote controllers), and there was a good variety of DVD movies left there by the owners for us to enjoy. The kitchen was furnished with every pot and pan we could think to use. There were some staples (spices, etc) there to make it convenient for us. My advice - look through the pantry before you go to the grocery store. You won't have to spend money on a lot of things. The two leather recliners were very comfortable, the poolside table was large and convenient, and the bathrooms were well done. I would rate this home five out of five stars in every way. Do not hesitate to book a vacation here. You will be very pleased with the entire package.
