Step outside to discover your very own oasis—a spacious, screened-in heated private pool, recently refurbished for your enjoyment. The inviting patio, designed for outdoor dining, comfortably seats six, creating the perfect setting for gatherings with family and friends. As you stroll to the water’s edge, you'll find multiple seating areas, including two chairs and a charming small table on the new lower dock—ideal for fishing or soaking in the serene natural surroundings. The upper cement dock offers cozy seating for four, perfect for sipping a drink while enjoying the views. Picture yourself in the lush yard, surrounded by palm trees, relaxing on the glider that overlooks the water; it’s the ideal spot for your morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or indulging in a good book. Plus, you'll be delighted by the daily visits from a vibrant variety of birds, including egrets, ibises, herons, and a few wood storks, adding to the serene ambiance of your inviting exterior.

We also have a variety of gadgets including a garlic press, lemon / orange juicer, apple slicer and taco shell holders. We've made it easy by stocking a variety of spices and staples, because who wants to purchase a whole container of parsley for just a teaspoon?
On the table in the living room, you’ll discover an instruction book filled with everything you need for an enjoyable stay.

We had a wonderful time! Such a beautiful, clean, and relaxing stay at an adorable home. Everything was great! We loved the area and all the beautiful beaches nearby. Thank you for all the sightseeing tips!
Our entire stay was perfect. The house was amazing! We felt right at home. The pool was a perfect place to enjoy the hot Florida summer. Thank you Ron and Sharie for a wonderful time. You have an amazing home!
We found this home bright, clean, comfortable, and inviting. One could not ask for more. The location is convenient to shopping and dining. The host is very attentive and helpful. The bed was comfortable. Adequate water pressure in the shower. The kitchen provided everything needed to prepare meals. Appliances were like new. Overall it’s a 5/5. Thanks!
We had a wonderful time at Tranquil Escape. Ron and Sherie could not have been nicer. The house was spotless and beautifully decorated. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the pool and lanai. On the day we went to the beach, we took the cart with beach chairs, the shell scooper and umbrella with cold drinks in a cooler, which was all provided and we had a great time. We like to cook and were very impressed with the the way the kitchen was stocked. It had everything we needed. We cannot wait to return next year! Thanks Ron and Sherie!!
My sister and I went to FL to surprise our brother for his birthday! We stayed at Idle Days and loved the house ! Everything you could possibly need was provided. It was neat , clean and welcoming! Sharie was very helpful and easy to communicate with.
We LOVED the pool , great to take a dip in the evening and just relax. The couch/chair was very comfy and the kitchen clean and bright.
I will admit, the Florida temps and humidity in July were not fun, but we would Love to return to this rental in the future, maybe in the fall or winter LOL.
The big bed in Master bedroom was indeed super comfortable, but the twin beds were a bit sweaky and stiff. Not a deal breaker, still slept well.
I absolutely look forward to coming back to this property. Thank you Sharie and Ron !!!!!!!
We have been so happy with our stay. It’s just a perfect location and a perfect rental ! The Host is 5 Star. Everything was spot-on from the Pool to the kitchen and the grill and the rooms. - we hope to return someday.
Have stayed before & hope to go back again. A wonderful home to relax in. Enjoyed the pool. The location is perfect and in the center of everything we wanted to do.
Home was very nice and well taken care of! We had everything we needed for days at the beach and to stay home if so desired. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes and pans for cooking. Sharie was terrific about adding some days when our plans changed and we were allowed a late checkout as we had a later flight. We would definitely stay here again. Everything is as described in the listing.
We’ve rented from a lot of properties off of VRBO and this one has to be one of the best. Owner was amazing, house was clean, pool was great, etc. would highly recommend this property.
We had a wonderful time. We were there to help Mom find a place to live in Arcadia and also met up with friends from Naples that we had not seen in 27yrs. The house was exactly as described and the pool was a nice way to relax at the end of each day. Would definitely stay again.
Immaculate property and location was amazing close to several beaches. The pool and backyard were very nice. Very good communication with the host and the host is very helpful. This property will be my 1st choice next time we are in the area.
We so enjoyed this charming VRBO.
Loved mornings on the Lanai, evenings on the Lanai. Just enough time left in the day to explore the area and visit with family. Well-stocked house with comfortable furniture, great bathrooms and comfy beds. Wonderful experience.
The property was well maintained. Everything a guest would want was available. The pool was lovely and the lanai beautiful. The host was very attentive and checked to make sure all was fine. I would definitely stay there again.
Our hosts went above and beyond with their rental! The listing was even more beautiful than the listing pictures. The hosts had many little items available to make our stay homey and fun! We recommend this property for all!
We had a wonderful time at Idle Days. The property was clean and nicely appointed with everything you need. The location was perfect for us as we were exploring the area and got to visit Venice, Englewood, Boca Grande, Punta Gorda and North Port. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby and the yet neighborhood was super quiet. Sharie and Ron were great hosts. We will definitely be back.
