Welcome to our cozy, dog-friendly retreat 4 minutes from the historic Old Englewood Village! This charming cottage is the perfect unhurried escape, blending old-Florida character with modern comforts.

The Peaceful Best Friend Sea Shell Hideaway comes equipped with everything you need for the perfect beach vacation: a full kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and a cozy lanai for relaxing with a drink after a day of hunting for fossilized shark teeth.

The home was very clean Wish the Lawncare company came sooner than Thursday the 25th as we arrive on March 14 and the backyard could have used it. Great location close beach and Arturs

The host was very accommodating . I accidentally knocked a patio vase over and broke it. She said it was an accident and not to worry about it. And my favorite was the enclosed yard which was absolutely perfect for our fur baby

We all had a wonderful stay!!! The home was clean, beautifully furnished and appointed with all sorts of amenities: coffee, tea, beach chairs, towels, laundry detergent and more. The fenced in yard was wonderful for privacy and the dogs. The owners were very responsive to our questions and needs. We would definitely stay here again!!! Not only was the home super cute, it was close to everything: grocery store, pharmacy, downtown, beaches and restaurants.
