Great family vacation home
First of all I want to thank Gwen for making this home available for us. Our plans changed drastically because our original rental was inhabitable after hurricane Milton. Gwen said we can make it work. We arrived a few days before our family. The sea decor in every room was beautiful. The upstairs area was so perfect for our three grandkids. They loved the space with the stuffed animals. Our mornings were so special sitting out on the front porch having our morning coffee enjoying the warm breeze. The days consist of the beach and pool. Spacious rooms throughout with plenty of kitchenware. Plenty of pool towels for everyone. Lots of pool toys, beach toys, chairs and beach umbrellas are all available. Great vacations go by quickly and this one sure did. We will be back. Thanks again Gwen

A short drive to the beaches and downtown historic Venice for shopping. This house was great for 3 families with children. Plenty of room to hang out and to spread out. Location was nice on a dead end road. This is probably one of the best rentals we’ve stayed at to date.

Perfect beach getaway for the whole family
Beautifully done property with everything you need. More than enough space, and activities for the entire family. The house itself is so amazing with all its unique features, and spacious layout. But the care and attention to detail put in by the host really show. Great location less than 20min from town, and beach within walking distance. The pool, grill, hot tub, disk golf, fully equipped kitchen, board games, cards, coloring books, multiple smart tv’s throughout, and book shelves full of every kind give you plenty to do if you just want a relaxing day in. Definitely booking a return trip!

Perfect Family House
We stayed a week in this large, well appointed family house near Manasota Beach. Our family is aged 74 to 3 months. Each family enjoyed a spacious bedroom(2 with en-suite baths). The location is close to several nice beaches. However, our kids really enjoyed the pool that was surrounded by a nice deck (and a beer fridge). The kitchen is well supplied with cooking utensils and dishes. A propane grill is provided. Our Florida vacation coincided with 4 days of torrential rain. Luckily we could escape them by driving about an hour north to beaches and museums in St. Petersburg and Sarasota. Two water adventures were cancelled, but we still had fun!

From swimming in the ‘just right for young children’ pool to visiting 3 different beaches all within a short drive with beautiful water and beaches covered with shells and fun to find sharks teeth, our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful family friendly home.

Our new favorite short term rental
The house was immaculate. The pool and spa were both sparkling clean. All the mechanical systems in the house worked flawlessly, not always easy in a house of this size. It was obvious that our host Gwen‘s mission was that we enjoyed her house to its fullest. Gwen was personable, friendly and very accommodating. It was always pleasure communicating with her and her reply’s were always prompt. We had four couples staying in the house for five days and all they had to say were good things. This is the best managed house we have ever stayed in and is our new favorite short term rental.

Spring Break 2024
Spring break has been a family tradition for many years. In years past, we've included parents (grandparents) and children (all adults now). After a several year break, we once again returned to Florida. One goal was locating a vacation home near our favorite beach. We extended our group to include a niece, husband and five children, so finding a house to accommodate 12 was a necessity. This house was perfect! It was large enough and the separation of bedrooms to common areas was great. There was plenty of space and never felt crowded. We found all the accommodations to keep us comfortable. We also enjoyed time on the patio and in the pool. The house is within walking distance of the beach, and became a daily event. The house is located on a quiet dead end road, and only a short drive for groceries or supplies. Gwen was very responsive to any questions or concerns, and was obvious that she cares about her guests. Just returned home, but are already looking forward to next year!

Great family vacation home
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful spacious home. We were a group of 7 adults and 5 children. Plenty of space for gathering and meals. We loved that the sleeping areas were away from the shared spaces. We appreciated the convenient laundry and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Gwen responded quickly to any questions. We loved the quiet walkable neighborhood and the pleasant neighbors. And of course, the proximity to the beach and the wonderful weather was the icing on the cake. We all thoroughly enjoyed our vacation.

Winter Escape!
This property was the perfect escape from winter! The house is even bigger than we expected and worked perfectly for our group of 4 couples. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the many local beaches, including being able to walk to Manasota Beach from the house. We walked there to watch the sunset many evenings before dinner. The house had everything we needed - a kitchen with all the essentials to cook meals, a nice kitchen table for playing games, and lots of seating in the family room where we watched the Super Bowl. The beds were very comfortable. This house is also a great central location to explore the west coast of Florida - we shopped picturesque Venice Avenue one day, went to the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, and found lots of sharks teeth at the beaches. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Great Family Reunion Retreat
Our large family found the perfect house to gather in Englewood/Manasota! Each couple had their own area of the house with sizable beds and full baths. Plenty of seating throughout the house and exterior, plus all the kitchen, bath, pool and beach equipment needed. We enjoyed the heated pool and deck area, and the hot tub and big yard - all perfect for any age to find their own fun. Some days we drove the 4 minutes to the beach, others we walked the 15 minutes over the bridge. We were also content to stay around the impressive house and property. Gwen was very helpful in providing all the information we needed to have a great stay. Our family travels to this area regularly and we all agreed that we should stay at this house again!

WOW WOW WOW
Every single family member that walked through the door said WOW! The sea decor in every room was beautiful. We went down to celebrate Serbian Christmas and Gwen had a little Christmas tree up for us. It was the perfect touch to sit all of the gifts around it. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. (Make sure the bedrooms are assigned before you arrive or there will be a fight over who gets the Master. It’s amazing.) The downstairs living area’s couch was large enough to fit 8 of our 12 guests which was perfect to watch the Pens play hockey, while the upstairs living area was great for the kids to hang out. Plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is stocked with everything needed to cook big meals and there is plenty of seating between the dining and kitchen areas. Hot tub was perfect for the adults while the kids swam in the pool. Enough pool towels for everyone. Lots of pool toys, beach toys, chairs and beach umbrella are all available. The beach is about 3 minutes away with lots of sharks teeth. Gwen thought of everything. She responds quickly to questions and is very attentive. This was our 5th year celebrating in Florida and by far this is the best home away from home. We will definitely be staying here when we are in Florida.
