Nice house, great location
The house was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a month’s stay. Host was responsive to questions and maintenance needs. Loved being just a 15-minute stroll from the beach! Quiet neighborhood, plenty of attractions a short drive away, shopping close by and easy to get to main roads. We were very comfortable here and enjoyed our stay. We’d definitely consider staying here again!

Florida fun !!
Enjoyed our weeks in Florida. We liked that the house was so close to the beach. Manasota beech is beautiful. The house is truly old Florida charm with the bright colors on the walls and beachy decor. We had some trouble with the lock- getting into the house. Peter was attentive and got the neighbor to help us. He also got the problem resolved in a reasonable time. Englewood is easy to navigate to go to retail stores and restaurants. Played pickleball on a beautiful public complex.

Be back
The house was everything we needed and more. Very well equipped. The large Lania was so nice to sit and have our favorite beverage after a day at the beach. We had it rented for the month of February, but I flew back to Minnesota 3 weeks early. My mother was in Hospice care and not doing well. Peter was nice enough to give us a refund for the time we missed out on. Thank you Peter Dori and Craig

Convenient and comfortable
We stayed for 2 weeks to show at Fox Lea Farm - about 18-20 min depending on time of day. Then 20 min to Sharky's or the dog beach. Very comfortable for everyone, with space for more - extra blankets and pillows to rearrange when necessary.

Great Place
My family and I enjoyed this property so much. It is located in a community setting with a large front yard. We enjoyed sitting out on the screened in porch every night. It was 3 minutes from the beach which was absolutely gorgeous. The items Peter had in the building outback were extremely nice to have. The house was well stocked. Peter was very attentive to any needs that we may have had. This is a beautiful home that I will for sure be staying here again. Such great memories were made!

Great place to stay!
This home was perfect for our family! The owner was great to work with and the beach is super close! The house has a beachy feel to it and has plenty of beds. And our kids loved having a pool/ping pong table to play on. The screened in porch was ideal for a cup of coffee early in the morning before the day got started. Hope to stay at this home again! Thank you Peter!

Great Location. Great Value.
This was our first experience finding and renting a vacation house. We originally wanted a beach front property but found them already booked and way out of our price range. Peter's house is not on the beach, but the next best thing. Only a 5 minute drive or a 15-20 minute easy walk. The neighborhood is a nice and quiet residential area with well kept properties. Peter's house was clean and it was obvious he has had it updated. It was very nice and the screened-in porch was great for evening cookouts and relaxing. We had 8 adults and 1 small child, so the sleeping was a little cramped, but doable. Probably best for only 6 adults. The rental fee was very reasonable and fair and Peter has been great to work with. I would recommend his house to others and we may come back again.
