Englewood Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Englewood is a small, easy-going beachfront community along the Gulf of Mexico near the Gasparilla Sound. It bills itself as the 'Gem of the Suncoast', 'where the livin' is easy. Located on beautiful Lemon Bay, Englewood is situated in an area that straddles two counties and is harbored by several small islands. One of Florida’s best-kept secrets, the town of Englewood has four pristine beaches, all which border the Gulf of Mexico. Choose from swimming, searching for seashells, sunbathing, boating, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling or hiking along the ocean’s edge. The sun sparkles off the turquoise water, turning it to emeralds and sapphires and the sunsets are unbelievable. The warm, tropical climate and off shore breezes make Englewood a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Accommodations range from beachfront cottages and condominiums to hotels and motels. This is one town that has everything you’d expect in a Florida vacation, without the high prices and crowds. If you do get the urge for more excitement, easy day trips take you to Tampa Bay, Naples and Fort Myers. Disney World is a two and a half-hour drive from Englewood and Miami is three hours away.

Englewood Weather & Climate
The Southwest Region of Florida, between Sarasota and Fort Myers, has comfortable weather year round. At 5 to 25 feet above sea level, the region has a subtropic climate that is checked by the tempering influence of the Gulf of Mexico. The Peace River, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, contributes to the hot and humid climate in the summertime (but it's not unbearable due to cooling Gulf breezes.)Prevailing winds are normally 12-18 mph. The rainy season lasts from June through September, with rain spread fairly evenly throughout those months. Thunderstorms tend to pop up quickly but also dissipate just as quickly, with the sunshine quickly returning. The winters are lovely with warm afternoons and mild evenings and much less rain. Hurricane season generally runs late summer through late October in the Gulf of Mexico.

Florida is a diverse state with beautiful beaches, grand resorts, exciting theme parks, island getaways, and sophisticated
cities. Inland or coastal, indoors or out, for vacation or forever, the Sunshine State has a time and a place for
everyone. The mention of beaches and such riches brings to mind only Florida – the sunshine state – where
there is no shortage of exquisite sun-kissed beaches or of charming beachfront and oceanfront vacation homes. The
beaches of Florida are not limited to just the coastline of the mainland; there are a large number of barrier islands
as well. So, vacationers seeking a beach break in Florida can choose from the beachfront vacation homes on the Atlantic
coast, on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, or on the shores fronting the Intracoastal Waterways.
