Karen - sorry for the delayed response to your kind review. Hope you will visit again soon!
Janet made our stay so comfortable. The amenities were excellent!! Janet was available if we had any questions. Would recommend Carol’s place to any one. Thank you Janet for everything!!! Much appreciated!!!
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.

Thank you for the kind review! I hope you will visit again, I love having return guests ❤️
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.
Experience was everything we had hoped for and more!Already booked again to go back next year

Thanks for the kind review. So glad you enjoyed your stay! Your tips for music at the Indian Mounds park and fishing at Boca Grande Pier are now on the list! See you next year 😊
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!

About the host
Hosted by Janet White
I love the Englewood community. Purchased this cottage with hopes to retire here one day. I enjoy beach yoga, boating, shelling and fishing. This community is laid back and reminds me of the old Florida I grew up in.
Why they chose this property
Great location! So close to the beach, Dearborn Street, parks, boat ramp and shopping. I like the 3 bed/ 2 bath and the great back yard.
