Our stay at Carol's Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carol's Cottage. We spent most of our time at the beach but the house Cottage was very nice. Everything we could need and then some. I really liked the 2 sunrooms. One if you wanted to stay cool and one if you wanted a little warmth. Hope to stay there in the future.

Exactly right

Adding another 5 Star review to the list! House is well stocked, perfectly clean and completely comfortable. Janet was helpful, flexible and always available to answer questions. Location is walking distance from downtown Englewood and an easy drive to anything else. Quick note about location: our stay was shortly after Ian tore through town and we got to watch Englewood rebound. It's a long haul to get back to normal after a storm like that but Englewood is well on its way.

Old Florida Charmer

Home is in a nice location for us. The neighborhood is quiet and not busy. Not a tourist area which we like but close enough to the touristy areas, beautiful beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The home has everything we need and is as listed. Very cute inside too! The host is very accommodating and resolved any minor issues immediately.. going above and beyond the norm! The home is clean, safe and comfortable! Highly recommended!
