We had 7 people total for our visit, 4 adults and 3 kids, and the place worked out excellent for us. The house had everything we needed (linens, pots/pans, towels, etc) and close by was a super-walmart and a grocery store both within 2 miles.We brought a 21' shallow bay center console boat for our visit. Even with our long trailer it was fairly easy to park at the house. Theres an available public boat ramp less than a 5 minute drive (10-15 minutes by boat) from the house at Ainger Creek Park that was right on the way between us and Lemon Bay and very easy to use.The boat dock was small, and there was no slip but 2 cleats were available on the dock for tying off. Using a cleat and a powerpole anchor worked great for parking the boat at night. There was no power available, but there is a long water house that reaches the dock if you need a fresh water rinse. Access to Lemon Bay from the property requires navigating through canals with some extremely shallow points, sand/oyster bars, as well as passing under 2 bridges, one of them which is extremely low, especially at high tide (about 7' clearance). Our boat had a retractable bimini top that, if it did not retract, we would not have made it. Consider this before booking if you are bringing or renting a large boat. We enjoyed the ping pong table, pool, kayaks/pedal boats and paddle boards available on site. Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay.

The property is managed by Evolve, and Aneta was our agent. She was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions we had. She also had the place ready for us over 2 hours ahead of our scheduled check-in time, which was great.
The main reason we selected this property was due to the listing indicating there was a boat dock/slip available on site. We brought a 21' shallow bay center console boat for our visit. There was ample parking at the house for the trailer, but the road is one lane so it is a little tight to get in and backed up to park. Even with our long trailer it was fairly easy to do. Recommend you take a look before pulling your trailer down the street to have a plan however, depending on how long your boat/trailer are. Theres an available public boat ramp less than a 5 minute drive (10-15 minutes by boat) from the house at Ainger Creek Park that was right on the way between us and Lemon Bay and very easy to use.

Having the available kayaks, paddle board and pedal boats was a great way to entertain the kids when we were relaxing at the house. The canal is very low boat traffic so we had no concerns with our kids playing back there and with no wake it was easy for beginners to get comfortable with new activities. The pool was also great as it was pretty hot the week of our stay.
Overall we were extremely pleased with our stay, and we will definitely consider this if we opt to visit Englewood again.
Wonderful house. Plenty of room. Four bedrooms. Great pool. Located near golf and 25 min to beach. Comfortable and room for three families. Kayaks, ping pong and BBQ. I would recommend for fun and relaxation.
The home was very clean! Plenty of things for our 5 teenagers to do such as playing ping pong, swimming in the pool with the floats provided, throwing the football, fishing, using the stand up boards and kayaks. All the amenities you need to feel like you are “home”away from home. Had everything for the beach such as towels, umbrellas, chairs, sand toys and coolers with wheels! Having the lower level where the kids could hang out was a plus.
