About this house rental
Unique, whimsical beach cottage set on a special little pond that we share with exquisite Florida seabirds. You can also choose to rent this fun "Convertible PT Cruiser" to complete your vacation. The cottage is tastefully decorated with a seaside theme to give guests the feel of a true summer beach vacation. It is just a quick 7 min drive to the beach and only 2 mins from Old Englewood’s famous Dearborn Street with its fun shops, bars & dining. Golf courses, jetski/boat rentals, etc. close by.
The space
The pond is actually owned by the beautiful, protected birds who reside there, but they have graciously allowed us to share it with them. There are egrets, blue herons, wood-storks, ibis and plenty of other species that are a truly breathtaking sight to behold. Our birds will come right up to the lanai to share the sunset with you or provide delightful entertainment during your morning coffee. They are harmless, polite, never loud or annoying and they don’t poo everywhere like geese. Your kids or grandkids will love them!
The home has an open floor plan with two bedrooms, both en-suite and at different ends of the property, allowing utmost privacy. The master bedroom has a King bed and leads out to the lanai. The guest room has bunk beds with a Queen at the bottom and a Single on top. The property comfortably sleeps 5 people, but I have blow up beds for extra guests and kids.
The large glass sliding doors pocket away to allow for indoor/outdoor Florida living. The kitchen comes with all the necessary appliances including a Keurig for the coffee connoisseur, an electric kettle for the tea drinker, and a regular old (well actually its new) coffee maker for those who don’t want all the fancy-schmancy stuff. Also, there is a steamer, a slow cooker, a mixer, an Instapot, and lots of other extra kitchen gadgets.
Englewood is a true "Old Florida", charming little coastal town, nestled between Venice and Port Charlotte. “Woodstork Pond Cottage” is located in Piccadilly Estates, a lovely quiet, very safe, private community. There are many beaches close by, plus golf courses, bars, dining, and shopping. The local Farmers Market on Thursdays in “Old Englewood” is always fun, they have jazz nights on Dearborn, a sunset beach drum circle close by, and lots of other activities for your pleasure all just a few minutes away.

We arrived to a beautiful decorated cottage. Each room decorated with different themes. A very warm and cozy place to stay. The glass doors open to a large lanai to enjoy sitting or enjoying your dinner outdoors without bugs, it is screened in. You walk outside to the most amazing birds. Just a wonderful place. I highly recommend this home.

For the month of February we left the cold behind and headed to sunny Englewood. The house was as pictured and described. The weather was great. Our dog loved the frequent walks especially to the open field about 200 yards from the house. The neighborhood is quiet except they are building a new house across the street. This house is expected to be completed in May.Woodstork Cottage is an older house and is showing signs of aging. A few minor things broke (small rack inside dishwasher rack and kitchen cabinet door hinge) during our stay and Susie responded promptly. However some items (e.g. one lanai ceiling fan) cannot be fixed until the ceiling is upgraded? And the pond alligator Elton invited a new larger friend to join him in the pond.

Susie was very hospitable - she reached out to me to let me know how her first visitor from England, who was arriving before us, could access the property and we had a very friendly conversation. The cottage itself was comfortable and clean, and also was generously stocked and supplied. It was decorated in pinks, mauves and blues, with solid, good quality furniture and spacious wardrobes. The two bedroom suites made it very easy to share with our grown offspring and there was a comfortable sitting room. The screened-in lanai overlooked the wild pond where we could watch for wildlife. With two large dining tables we were spoiled for choice about where to sit at shared meals. Lovely home, lovely host.

The place is gorgeous but it was incorrectly advertised as 4 bedrooms when it’s only 2 bedrooms. Big difference
