Our home is in a quaint, safe neighborhood with very friendly neighbors - all have access to the canal in their backyard, and the county park / forest preserve across the street.  It has miles of hiking/biking trails, disc golf, and a 10 minute walk to a public pool, tennis courts, playground, picnic areas, and even a skate park!  A 10-minute drive or boat ride brings you to many restaurants, beaches & shopping including a large grocery store (Publix or Winn-Dixie or Walmart), gas stations, and many other conveniences.  Canal in the backyard is only a 10 minute boat ride from Manasota Island and the Gulf of Mexico.  Also great for kayaking and fishing!

Englewood is a non-commercialized beach town with many cute restaurants right on the inter coastal waterways leading to the Gulf of Mexico. This is a popular fishing destination as well, known for Tarpon and many manatees. There are several islands to drive to with bridges including Boca Grande Island and Manasota Island right off Lemon Bay.  There's lots to do and explore, but without all the traffic, people and prices like a touristy town.  Be sure to check out the great shopping and restaurants in the Dearborn Street area!

Manasota Island, Englewood Public Beach and Stump Pass State Park are a 15 min. boat ride or 10 min. drive by car. And only a 15 min. drive to Boca Grande (Gasperilla) Island. You can kayak right to Lemon Bay and the Gulf from the canal, or go to the Island or Beach, or the State Park. There are many other beaches and islands to see including Venice beach, 20 min. away, Sarasota & the famous Siesta Beach 40 min. away and Fort Myers Beach 60 min. away.  The Sarasota Bradenton International Airport is only 40 min. away, and the Punta Gorda Airport is only 35 min. away.
