Vacation homes

Beyond the norm

Aqua Vista Beachhouse

Description: Aqua Vista Beachhouse is located directly on Mannasita Key, separated only by a canal. The small towns of Englewood and Venice are south and north of it, respectively. These offer numerous supermarkets, stores and restaurants. Manasota Beach is only a short walk from the house.
Facts about the house: Two floors, Four bedrooms, three baths. Extra balcony with screen next to the Master Bedroom. Fully equipped kitchen, two dining rooms. There is also a large terrace from which you can access the pool area. Here you will find sunbeds and two tables with chairs. Also included are two kayaks, a barbecue and two parking spaces for cars. A huge screen is installed over the entire outdoor area, which protects you from annoying mosquitoes.

We have used the house with five adults. Especially the living area, but also the outdoor area was very large and spacious. In total, the house would provide sleeping space for 10 people.

Our rating: For our vacation we had actually booked another house in Cape Coral. Unfortunately, Hurricane Ian hit the west coast three weeks before our arrival and destroyed especially the exterior of our booked house. So we were very happy that we could book the Aqua Vista Beachhouse in Englewood at short notice.
The house itself and also the location in the middle of nature and directly on the water was great. We found everything we needed for a nice stay. For a family this is an ideal house. 
One small negative were the small rooms and bathrooms. Unfortunately, there was only one large bedroom with a larger bathroom. The other three rooms and bathrooms were rather small. Especially the bathrooms were not very spacious for two people.
Since we have done always road trips in the past, this was once a slightly different kind of vacation in the U.S.. Even though it's not something we have to repeat every year, it was a lot of fun and we can already imagine booking a vacation home again in the future.

Our visit: Two weeks in October and November 2022
