Enjoy Englewood Florida With Two True Englewood Beach Experts...Our August Englewood Beach Vacation.
A two week vacation on the beach was exactly what we needed. Our children and grandchildren drove down with us for one week and the following week we spent time by ourselves. Our condo was booked through this site (found it through an ad on discount Florida vacations), called The Boardwalk. It is a lovely two-story right on the beaches of Florida. It had a living room, dining room, small kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms with queen and single bed. Upstairs provided us with a King sized bed in our bedroom with a dressing area and bathroom. Much better than other Florida beachfront vacation stays. Some of the other places to check into that are always top notch include, The Palm, Barefoot, and Krystal Key. Along with a great place to stay, the amenities included washer and dryer, kitchen appliances, pool, and grill area. The best part of this location is the view! We watched the sun set and rise, dolphins swimming in the Gulf, people walking the shores collecting seashells or my favorite, shark’s teeth. I have collected them for a long time. In Englewood Florida we had a great grocery store and other very tasty restaurants. Perfect for our two week stay. In the mornings, we would enjoy breakfast on the deck of our condo while my husband enjoyed his Florida fishing vacations. Oh, I forgot to mention we had a front and back deck with views of the Gulf of Mexico and the Bay. Amazing to say the least!! The kids had a wonderful time in the sands making castles, digging, or jumping the waves in the ocean. We also enjoyed the pool when we weren’t on the beach. The girls made fun of their Grandpa as he played “Timber” falling in the pool doing belly flops. Englewood Florida is a spot we’ve visited many times. In another life my husband owned Florida waterfront properties here. It has the feel of “Old Florida” with small buildings (no skyscrapers here) and a spot that even Floridians come to vacation. Bottom line is it is not as touristy as Clearwater or Panama City Beaches. The other great thing is the location and convenience. We spend time driving the coast to Venice Florida, Sarasota Florida, Ft Myers Florida, and Orlando. Day trips are a wonderful way to visit other areas of Florida. Restaurants: Let’s talk about the food. Other than the beaches we love to dine at the local eateries as one of our favorite things to do. Here is a list of the great restaurants in Englewood Florida.
Other things to mention about Englewood Florida, is the Florida beaches wildlife you’ll share the beaches with. Armadillos woke us up in the mornings with their sounds. Turtles digging their holes so their eggs have a place to stay safe. Consider it a good omen if you see one. Pelicans that perch themselves on the posts looking for breakfast. Makes great pictures. We also saw a baby shark (very small) hunting fish, seagulls doing their formations in the sand, and lots of other gorgeous flowers and animals that inhabit this area. The Florida weather in Englewood is quite hot but not humid. August is the infamous Florida hurricane season, but we've always had zero problems. Some rain but not enough to cry about it. Everyday was beautiful. Just be sure to wear your sunscreen. Hopefully we shed some light on why we love Englewood as we took you around the area. The sun was bright, days were warm, beaches were fabulous, and the two weeks were perfect. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay, Englewood Florida is a great choice!
