About this property

Lemoness is a lovely, quiet place to experience the fullness of a Florida vacation. It's not the typical Florida vacation rental property, which are nice, but all very much alike. Lemoness is different. It has character and charm. It's It's a restored 50 year old, two-story house featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a large galley kitchen, and a Florida room, which combines a dining area as well as reading and conversation lounges. An upstairs deck accessed by the master bedroom, is a great place to enjoy the sunrise with coffee, sunset with wine, and the stars with your sweetie. You can also sit in the under the pergola out front, and drink your favorite beverage by the herb garden while enjoying the fragrances of lavender, rosemary, and other herbs.

This spacious house is decorated in an eclectic style, with comfort and ease of living in mind. There are many spaces to gather together and celebrate, eat or play games, and spaces to curl up with a good book, listen to music, play music, or create art. There is a fully fenced backyard for the kids and pets.

It has a 50'x50' lanai, which covers a 16'x32' solar and heat-pump heated pool, which keeps the pool warm, except during unusually long periods of cloud cover or chilly weather. (NOTE: Heat pumps must occasionally and routinely defrost in order to operate. However, they have difficulty defrosting when temperatures dip below the mid fifties. Unfortunately, this may happen for a few days at any time during December through February. This means the pool water may drop to the upper 60s or low 70s. This does not occur every Winter, and so far it lasts only a few days when it does occur. ) You can hang out by the pool in the day or evening with tables with umbrellas, lounge chairs, and a propane grill.

It is a short ½ mile walk to Manasota Key - down the shell road and over a draw-bridge overlooking the Lemon Bay. Manasota Key Beach has all the facilities that you need to make your beach day or evening sunset a complete pleasure -- great sunsets, great walks. Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for your use. Four antique but serviceable beach cruiser bicycles are also available

The travel magazine, Conde Naste, referred to Englewood, Florida, as the "best family-friendly vacation town" in the USA (2013). It is said to represent "Old Florida", and the same can be said of Lemoness.

🍋As you know, we loved our stay🍋!!

Lemoness is the essence of eclecticness, kind of a cottagey feel. Lemoness isn’t for everybody. It isn’t perfect, but, it was perfect for us, our two goldens, and our guests. The house is spacious, homey, and comfy. A great place for a family vacation with plenty of room for everyone. The pool deck/cage is also very large and quite private. The 16’x32’ saltwater pool was wonderful, so wonderful that we didn’t go to the beach as much as usual (even though it was only a 1/2 mile away). Our young golden never wanted to get out, literally. The pool cage was damaged during hurricane Ian as were most in the area. It was still being repaired which is difficult to do when they have guests. It will be reattached to the house to minimize those flying pests. The neighborhood is very quiet and yet not too far from town no matter which way you go. The Venice dog beach is 15-20 minutes away. Charles, the owner, was super. James, the caretaker, is a peach. Communication with both was excellent. They were timely and responsive to our questions and needs. See you next year!

Great stay!

This is our second time renting Lemoness. It is perfect for a group our size. It’s a beautiful home near our favorite beach. It’s well stocked with everything you would need. Our host, Charles was very responsive to any question we had. We can’t wait to go there again.

Second,but not last timers.

Check in was simple, since we've been here before. The pool was used twice daily by the entire family. There was more than enough pool toys/floats to keep us entwrtained. The kitchen has LOTS of cups glasses and plates. The front deck hose was also used twice daily, because we went to the gulf twice daily. We'll stay here again if the host will have us.
