The place is very clean and spacious. It's located close to shopping centers, historical sites, and beautiful beaches full of sharks teeth. The hosts are very helpful and gracious. We loved our stay!

Very nice house. Liked the two back rooms/porches. Quiet area. Excellent washer and dryer.
This cottage type house had everything needed for the month stay. Very good location close to the town, beaches & golf. The host was very accommodating!
Nice and close to downtown. Centrally located for several beaches and all other things to do. A couple blocks away from the grocery store. Very nice home. Thank you!
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.
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.
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!
The house is as advertised, very clean, with everything you need. A short drive to the beach, and a short walk to Dearborn Street. Dearborn St. has many restaurants with live entertainment, coffee shops and small shops.
