Unique, whimsical beach cottage set on a special little pond that we share with exquisite Florida seabirds. 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

We just had a last-minute cancellation for July…..so their loss is your gain as normally it would be booked solid for the whole month.

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 truly a 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 it’s new) coffee maker for those who don’t want all the fancy-schmancy stuff. Also, there is a steamer, a slow cooker, a mixer, 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.

I would love to host you at Woodstork Pond Cottage, it is a very special, unique property.
Guest access

Other things to note:

The Wi-Fi is the fastest available as especially during the baseball season (because we are close to the fields) a lot of business people like to take a working holiday and need the speed. There is also a wireless printer available for your convenience. All codes will be supplied on check-in. Plus a music soundbar to hook up to your Spotify or other music application.
The property does NOT have a private pool, but there is a fabulous public pool, with a fun kiddie pool as well, just 8 minutes away that is just $3/$2 a day to use.
