Englewood, Florida
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 came to stay at Woodstork Pond Cottage because it looked like such a magical place and it definitely did not disappoint. The house is decorated so beautifully, with so much attention to detail. The neighborhood is so nice and quiet and the pond brings so much wildlife to it, it’s really remarkable. We were looking for rest and relaxation and we definitely found the perfect place to relax and reset. The area has an old Florida feel and the beach is really clean and beautiful. The house had everything we needed and Susie really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again ❤️
The place is gorgeous but it was incorrectly advertised as 4 bedrooms when it’s only 2 bedrooms. Big difference
Such a fun property! Exactly like the pictures - spacious with wonderful accommodations. Susie provided so many extras. Just a few minutes to the beautiful Englewood beach. Close to Dearborn St. with restaurants and shops. Susie is the best! Highly recommend.
We really enjoyed sitting on the Lanai drinking coffee in the morning watching all the different kinds of birds that are unique to Florida. Susie is a very creative decorator and a great host. The house has an eclectic mixture of her own coastal Floridian theme with mermaids, paintings, an array of colors and colorful lights.
Susie’s home was lovely - just as the pictures showed. Susie was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The pond was very entertaining to watch the different birds coming and going and trying to identify them with the help of her guidebook. Great relaxing week on her beautiful lanai.
You can tell Suzie takes so much pride in her property. We enjoyed visiting with the birds every morning. Whimsical!
This property is so charming and delightful, filled with positive energy! Centrally located to anything you would need. Susie is a fabulous hostess, she makes herself available for any issue although, we didn't have any! We would definitely return!
The house is adorable and welcoming. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen has everything you could need. Check in was super easy and the host allowed us to check in, in the middle of the night which was really awesome since we left late because of my husbands job. The kids loved the bunk beds and feeding the birds in the backyard. It’s only a couple of minutes to the best beaches! And there was even a happy birthday banner in the front of house for my little girl, which was the sweetest thing ever. We will be back. We absolutely loved it!!
We had an amazing time at the Woodstorck Pond cottage! Our interaction with Susie were fantastic! She is a very sweet homeowner and very considerate. We loved every aspect of the cottage and there were so many details in design that made it such a whimsical place to stay. We had everything we needed and the place was so clean and comfortable! We wish we could have stayed a week! We would definitely come back if we could! We loved that the beach was nearby and if you want shopping or restaurants they aren't but severalminutes down the road:)
