Florida villas on the Gulf Coast

If you are thinking of renting one of the Florida villas for rent on the Gulf Coast, it’s worth checking out the small town of Englewood. Considered to be one of Florida’s best kept secrets, many of the Florida villas here enjoy close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, the Barrier island of Manasota Key and Lemon Bay. This means if you rent one of the Florida villas in the area you will probably get a sea view. Englewood has some quality restaurants on offer and is attractive to tourists for its climate, tropical beaches and beautiful bay.

‘Gem of the Sun coast’

Englewood has been dubbed the ‘Gem of the Sun coast’ as it is literally surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico. Residents say their favourite expression is: ‘Just another day in paradise’. Renting one of the Florida villas in the area is a chance to explore the beaches, parks and recreational areas. With miles of unspoiled beaches, incredible fishing and sailing, it’s easy to see why Englewood is Florida’s best kept secret.
