It is no wonder that Jen is a SuperHost, everything at the ShoreBirds Cottages are top-notch. Clean, fresh, classy, and excellent communication with the host. We could not have asked for anything more from rentals during our stay in Englewood time and time again.

Wonderful Beach House This was the nicest place we have ever stayed! The house was very clean and had so many amenities—we really only needed our personal items and groceries. They provided everything else we could possibly need. The beach was a short walk from the house. We love the beach here—calm clear water, shells galore, beautiful sunsets. You should absolutely book this house for your next vacation!

Everything you need. Very clean property with everything you need. Small but excellent in terms of having it all for a 2-7 day stay. The area is still recovering from hurricanes in the fall of 2024 but this property is in great shape.

Mini Family Trip We loved everything about this property! It was hands down the most well appointed rental we’ve ever stayed in. Everything from the delicious snack basket and beverages upon arrival to the abundance of wall hooks for hanging just about anything! Thank you so much!! We had a fantastic stay.

Great location, thoughtful details This is a great little condo that is updated and clean. The amenities were great, including kayaks, bikes, outdoor shower, tons of beach gear. The owner left several sweet touches including snacks, wine, beer, and toiletries. Beach access was about a 5 minute walk, and came right out at the best shark tooth hunting area. We really enjoyed our stay and will visit again.

It’s just as good as it looks in the photos! Very clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the bikes and kayaks and everything that was provided for the beach..a cart, chairs, towels, cooler, umbrella and a shade canopy. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful getaway! Enjoyed this getaway with my husband. We arrived to find everything exactly as described! The owner has snacks, a bottle of wine and a few cold beers for you. There is sunscreen, a few toiletries if you need them & even cleaning supplies. The facility inside and out is very clean! We parked our rental car and rode the bicycles to the restaurants & Stump pass park where we walked the trail and went to beach. We used the wagon one day as well to go to the beach. You definitely won't be disappointed if you enjoy riding bikes, kayaking, walking and like a clean place to stay!
