Peaceful retreat,new luxury villa pool near beautiful beach Lemon Bay
This luxurious villa, built on a very private 3/4 acre lot, sits well back from the road. Mature oak and palm trees line the driveway to this beautiful villa which is a mile from Manasota beach and five minutes drive to major stores and restaurants. Free wireless internet.
The large pool area offers complete privacy and overlooks a small pond and bird preserve. Palm trees to the rear add a special feature. At construction the upgrades throughout to create a luxury standard which is immediately noticeable with faux painted columns and other feature areas. The master and guest suites have king beds.
We had a great experience! Plenty of space for our family, well stocked kitchen and comfortable accommodations. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the screened patio and swimming in the pool.
Very satisfied with our stay. There was a small issue with the pool turning green, but Gareth was very responsive and got it resolved in less than 24 hrs. This is your typical short term rental with not the highest quality beds or furnishings, but it was well stocked with everything we needed. The very short drive to the beach was a big plus.
Host was prompt with communication. Pool was green upon arrival on Saturday ok to swim by Monday afternoon. Beautiful blue pool after chemicals and cleaning.
The house and location are great. We love the local beach 5 minutes away. We like being away from the busyness while still being close to anything we wanted.
The A/C was set on 74 and the house was 82 when we 1st arrived. We could not drop the thermostat below 72 and the temperature in the house kept rising. We contacted the owner and he said that he was out of town and he would come by in the morning to look at it. We insisted on something to be done that day. He did have someone come out and look. It was low on Freon. Then someone came out later on during the week to check it. The unit is old and too small for the house. It struggled to keep up during the hottest time of the day. The owner cut grass while we were there. Wouldnât that be done while the house is unoccupied. We figured out the house has a tankless hot water heater. So it takes a while for the hot water to get to the other side of the house. Other than that the house was a great layout. It was spacious for 2 families. We enjoyed the pool but wish the hot tub worked.
What a beautiful home. Clean and full of additional items to use at the beach. Loved that it was just down the road from the beautiful Manasota Bearch, kids loved looking for shark teeth. Was able to use the pool which was at 86 degrees. Pleanty of room for the 7 of us. Owner was responsive with all emals and texts. Would strongly recommend this vacation home.
We had a wonderful stay and loved the house. Gareth was so nice to check on us as the hurricane was approaching and thankfully passed us. We will definitely be staying here again as it is a perfect location and a great house.
Plenty of room, great pool area
We are beach bums, love staying so close to Manasota Beach. Easy check in, clean house, and great communication.
We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.
The home itself is beautiful. However, I do need to point a few things out and hopefully the owner will address these issues for future. 1.The second king suite bathroom sink was clogged and had a slow drain. 2.The beach towels provided left a bit to be desired (the one I was using had two large holes) and they all were pretty thin. 3. Under the beds were very dusty/dirty and a lot of dust bunnies (my sister-in-law lost an earring and went under the bed to try and find it). Under all bed were like this. 4. The second KING suite had a QUEEN top sheet on it. 5. The noodles for the pool were water logged. 6.There was no where to hang your bathroom towels once youâve showered. 7. The location of this house is on a very busy road, albeit it sits back off the road. Also, this is NOT a 5 minute walk to the beach, more like a 5 minute drive. In summary, I think he needs to address his housecleaning service BIG time, update beach towels and pool toys and update on the bedding sheets.
Overall this is a wonderful home to relax in with plenty of space ! The description and photos are accurate. The host was very friendly and helpful. Big reflective House numbers on the mailbox would be helpful as arrived in the evening and had a hard time making sure we arrived at the correct home as it is set back from the road. The beach chairs umbrellas and other beach equipment that was provided made the trip to the beach very enjoyable. The heated pool was great !
Great house with so much room. Very well stocked with plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, pots and pans etc. The pool was kept at a very comfortable temperature the whole time we were there. Only draw back was the outdoor grill. It needs replaced with a NEW grill.
We stayed in the villa for just under two months (December and January) and found it to be perfect. The furnishings were great and the villa was wonderfully clean for our arrival. We did have one problem during our stay but Gareth rectified it very quickly. Overall, we can't overstate the quality of the villa. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed staying here. The house is just the right size that youâre not on top of each other. The owners were great to deal with when we had a mishap with the garage door.It was our fist time In Englewood. The beach is right down the road. The days we didnât go to the beach we enjoyed the beautiful pool. Restaurant and shopping are just a few minute car drive away. The area is beautiful and not over crowded. Really enjoyed our stay here! Thank you to the owners
My wife and I made our yearly return to the Manasota area with our five kids and son-in-law.
The house was the perfect central location for traveling between Venice and Englewood.
We managed to hit sunsets at five beaches. Itâs hard to beat the sunsets at Venice Beach. Manasota Beach is less than 5 minutes away.
Be sure to check out Popâs Sunset Grill at sunset.
With the heat, we spent most of our time in the pool.
The space was perfect for 8 people to be able to come together or spread out for privacy.
