I rented for a short stay with my wife and two year old child. The room was spacious and clean, and Joe the owner really took care of us. Our room had two bedrooms, kitchen and living and dining areas and was perfect to keep the kid separated during naps and early bedtimes. I found no other place in the area with so much space, and it would be perfect for a comfortable extended stay.

I actually arrived on May 31 and stayed until June 7 of 2008. I had a small efficiency apartment. It had a very small living room kitchen combo and a bedroom with a bathroom. It was just perfect for one person or a couple. I was traveling alone this time and I felt very safe. The shower worked excellent and I always had enough hot or cold water. The bed was okay but there is nothing like your own so it's hard tocompare. I never heard any of my neighbors much. I will definately stay here again if the need fits.

We stayed here for a little romantic anniversary getaway. We stayed in 108h. A little cozy cottage. The cottage was very clean and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was fully equipped. Everything from utensils, pots and pans, wine glasses, ice, etc. The court yard was beautiful and the gas grill was an added plus. We made some awesome porter house steaks with it. There is cable tv, a bedroom, pull out sofa, air, fireplace, and our own private little table outside the back door. It was close to everything. We also visted Stump pass beach and the Lock and Key resteraunt. The innkeeper at the cottage knew we were planning to go there and left menus for us in our cottage. He is a very friendly man. We will definetely be back!!!! Check out our pictures! Thanks Joe!!!!

What a great Englewood Florida experience! The location is near everything from the funky shops and restaurants of historic Dearborn Street to the swimming and sailing (or simply sitting in the sun) on one of Englewood's four terrific beaches.

Our cottage was clean, well-maintained and the owners (Joe and Melabeth) went beyond the call to ensure that our two week stay was safe, comfortable, and relaxing.

The Internet availability in the rooms and the courtyard is a fantastic plus!!! (After all, where would I be without my email connection!)

We think that Joe is the most hospitable host anywhere and highly recommend a stay at the Englewood Bay Motel & Apartments.
