Birthday getaway

The overall house was super clean as shown. Disappointed when arriving and seeing the dock was no longer there which picture show it. Neighborhood still looks pretty rough from the hurricane. Quick drive to downtown Venice and other locations which was convenient.

Amazing sunsets!

We had a wonderful time at 20 Steps to the Water! We enjoyed the beachy vibe and layout of this 2 bedroom property but our favorite place was the chairs overlooking the bay and the beautiful sunsets at night. The property was well appointed - it had everything that we needed. We also loved the screened lanai in the evening.

Water view!!!

This a perfect house for relaxing and watching the beautiful sunsets. The kitchen is large and I love how the cabinets were labelled. So much easier to find things that way. The hosts quickly responded to any questions. We are hoping to come stay again!

Anna’s place was perfect!

What a wonderful stay we had at Anna’s place! She was polite and extremely quick to respond to any questions. The place was very well supplied. We didn’t use the hot tub or other water toys, but enjoyed using the bikes! The cleanliness and orderliness of the place was amazing! My wife used to clean for a living and we’ve found many places weren’t up to our standards, but this place was spotless! It wasn’t dirty or have any funky smells, so when we arrived we felt completely comfortable were able to immediately relax. We can’t wait to return next time we’re visiting the west coast of Florida! Thank you so much, Anna!

Fantastic views - meet the manatees on your own landing stage :)

We were staying 5 days in Englewood and enjoyed the apartment. It was fully equipped, very comfortable bed, a great whirl pool (which we used in the evening, when it gets a little colder), new Tony Bahama chairs for the beach. The real luxury of this apartment is the view to the sea, just sit in your chair at the landing stage, enjoy the views. We had the great luck to see dolphins and that one manatee were in front of us (just 1 meter away). Very good communication with the landlord - we fully recommend that location - enjoy it!

This place was amazing, just like the photos, even better!! Ann was quite wonderful in making sure we had all that was needed, in that we did and then some! Fantastic sunsets every night, close to beaches, the Farmers Market on Thursdays is a must. A fabulous memorable stay . Was here for my sister’s wedding, if in the area again would definitely stay again.

Excellent!!! A+++++

The property is as described. Super clean, ice cold AC, very spacious, comfortable bed (we only used one room), fully stocked, and nicely organized with labels to help easily find things. Everything was great, but what took it over the top for us, was Anna! She was absolutely great! We chose this property primarily for the dock. We love to fish, don't have a boat, so we were looking forwarding to having a private dock to fish off of the four days we were there. 2 days before our arrival, the dock was damaged due to Hurricane Idalia. We were a little bumbed, but Anna kept us informed the whole time. Before and after the storm and she was able to have the dock repaired ASAP! She's definitely a doer. She makes things happen! We were able to enjoy the dock as planned 3 out of the 4 days we were there. Anna even offered us some alternative fishing spots for the one day the dock was being repaired, so we still enjoyed fishing that 1 day too. Anna is professional, excellent at communicating, and really cares about her guests and wants them to enjoy the property to its fullest. We highly recommend this property. You won't be sorry!

College graduation trip

My son who loves fishing wanted to try to hunt a tarpon! We went on several excursions to do just that. He was successful!!! He was so excited!!! Fishing off the pier for smaller fish was a bonus during down time. My daughter loves the beach and with so many around, it was perfect! Great location- close to Boca Grande and Venice/beach. Englewood beaches are beautiful- I’m going to miss that turquoise water!

Sunsets and Manatees

We stayed for a month (March/April) The condo was perfect, it was clean, well maintained, beautifully decorated and in a perfect location. We were able to enjoy the beaches and bars on Manasota Key, the activities (farmers market , art show, supper club at The Englewoods) on Dearborn and fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding off the dock on Lemon Bay. But the best part of each day was walking out on the dock seeing and hearing the manatees and watching the amazing sunsets.

A break from winter

We enjoyed a week at this property. It was exactly as listed and the owner was helpful and responsive to questions. It was one of the most well equipped vacation rentals we have ever stayed at and the location on the water was scenic and relaxing!

Outstanding

Very clean. Lovely views. Had everything we needed including outside toys. Very quiet tenant upstairs. Very peaceful. Only recommendation I could give (which is my preference) is a king size bed. There are 2 bedrooms so my husband and I could spread out, but we probably wouldn’t have enjoyed it nearly as much if we’d had someone else saying with us!

We are back and forth between Florida and Virginia. We are very active and love to travel, bike, hike and kayak. We also have an RV and have traveled all over the US and Canada! We love to meet new people, trying new foods, discovering new areas (being a "local"), and making memories. Thank you so much for considering our home for your next vacation!
