The interior of Shady Pines, with her wood look tile flooring is very pet and children friendly and safe from damage claims for you.
Amenities: bed linen & towels, air conditioning, heating, heated swimming pool in a large cage, free wireless internet, pets are welcome, a free cot, baby pack and play and extra linens in a closet. Smoking allowed, but outside only. Included are: 2-4 canoes, 2- 3 kayaks, paddles and vests.
Most of the 1 x 8 mile Lemon Bay is about waist high yet populated with dolphins, many types of fish and manatees! The bottom is firm and except for the trenched in boat channels, you can stand up for safety almost anywhere. Very family friendly. Take a bottled water, wear a life vest and hat and bring your phone in a ziplock for safety.
The home is air conditioned, the pool heated and the cage around the pool makes relaxing outdoors easy. Shady Pines is kayaking/canoeing or walking distance from Cedar Point Park, a huge preserve and natural habitat of Old Florida. Some of the pictures show Cedar Point and the trails, kayak launch and wildlife signs!, one of the last remaining large tracts of reserved undeveloped land as a Park on Lemon Bay in Charlotte County. With 115 acres pine flat-woods covering over 60 % of the park, Cedar Point also has scrub, scrubby flat-woods, mangrove swamps, salt marshes, and wetlands.Cedar Point is a leisurely 10 minute stroll from Shady Pines. This is a highly fortuitous aspect to our vacation rental.
The several pictures of a family canoeing and kayaking and paddle boating on the estuary are actual guests enjoying our boats. Shady Pines is ideally located hardly 1/4 mile from shopping and services. There is a Publix within walking or biking distance and the Englewood beach is a 2.3 mile drive by land.
Also Stump Pass, where the Lemon Bay opens to the Gulf of Mexico, is a 2 mile trip by water. Manor road is a strip of upgrade waterfront homes fronting Ainger Creek. Shady Pine’s 1.3 acres is a long rectangle with the home well set back off the street and the waterfront is on the other end. We hope to see you soon! David

This location can handle a reunion or small/medium wedding or vow renewal Note: All approved cancellations are subject to recovering credit card fee's incurred.

This is the 2nd time we stayed here. We love the pool and the property. We love walking to skips backyard and having a drink. We boated and went to beaches. We are sad someone already booked our month next year.
We have stayed here multiple times over the years. We would definitely stay here again and again!

For a mini vacation you can't ask for more. It's a short drive to several beaches and has a pool. To top it off they offer use of there kayaks to use right off the dock!
This is a great house with everything you need when staying away from home. We loved the proximity to beaches, the pool, and exploring the Canal. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was in a good location, but due to a storm the night before we had no Internet and no TV for the grandkids, the house still shows signs of hurricane damage and the property could stand to be maintained a little more, at low tide i had a little problem moving my boat to deeper water from the dock, all around it's not a bad place but don't expect first class amenities.

Hi Warren,
The 1-2 punch of the waist high flood then drought made the grounds impossible to manage, replant or regrow. The rains starting in July began to rinse the salt out. We are addressing more each week and thanks for your informative review. Best D
Great location, huge backyard for the dog, awesome dock and secluded location. David is great, proactive communication. Served our needs for the trip just right.

Wow, these reviews make it all worthwhile! Thanks David and crew
We enjoyed the spacious house, heated pool, large backyard, fishing pier, kayaks for use, and close proximity to many beaches, parks and walking paths, pickleball courts, restaurants, breweries, farmers market, shopping.We stayed 4 weeks and had plenty of room for family one week and friends another week. The beds were very comfortable. Thanks!
Home is in a great location and has everything you need for your stay. Hugh backyard is right on the water with a nice, long dock. The heated pool was wonderful and enjoyed by all.
Stayed one month with 2 other couples, plenty of room, walked to the pier every morning with my coffee, watched the fish swim around, waved to the boats, everyone was very friendly, several restaurants in the area and 20 minute drive to the beach.

great place for families!
This place was perfect for the whole family. It was convenient to get to the store and we found a great park nearby, and the beach was easy to get to and within walking distance if you wanted. The kids enjoyed the pool and the back yard, and being able to ride bikes around the block! Overall it was a great stay, we had plenty of room for everyone and we talked about coming back!!
We enjoyed the large property, being able to have plenty of parking for our cars and boat trailer and to be able to let our 2 small dogs safely walk around off leash outside. The dock was nice and we enjoyed being able to have easy access. The house was spacious and the kitchen had all the necessities. The pool was refreshing and was a nice size. The entire place needed a thorough cleaning, yards and the house. David, the owner was nice to work with. I realize this area has experienced 2 recent devastating hurricanes and this may have contributed to the condition of the property.

HI Joyce, thanks for your important comments. After the flood we had drought and could not replant or see ground cover return until the salt was rinsed by rain.
That has now happened and things are greatly improved. Thx for your patience and understanding! Best David
We were doing a job in Englewood and this house was a perfect place for our group. It was clean and comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

About the host
Hosted by David Sullins
We have a couple vacation rentals on the West and East Coast, and love hosting these to others for vacations or even as area visit alternatives to motels.
Why they chose this property
The west coast of Florida is hard to beat. Laid back and missed by many, this area has fauna, waterways and beaches that get national awards but are never overrun.
What makes this property unique
Right on the water with 1.3 acres of privacy, we have a pier for fishing and launching your boat or our canoes to the 1 x 8 mile Lemon Bay playground. A heated pool in a cage on a large air conditioned home with parking for cars and boat trailers galore! We have tried to include so much with the kayaks, canoes, parking and private pier to give you as much value for your money as possible!
