Welcome to Breathe Escape, a lakeview family retreat in Englewood with a heated pool, beach gear, bikes, a game room, and a backyard that may convince everyone to cancel dinner plans and just stay outside.
You’re about 6 minutes from Manasota Key beach, close to restaurants and shops, and set up for the kind of Florida trip where the kids stay busy, the dog is invited, and the adults might actually finish a coffee while it’s still warm. Small miracles happen here.
Spend the day hunting shark teeth, swimming in the Gulf, or biking around town, then come home to:
Private heated pool

Unique Benefits
This home is designed to make vacation easy for the whole family. Guests can enjoy a heated pool, peaceful lake view, fenced yard, and a comfortable layout with space to relax together or spread out. The location is also a big benefit: you’re close to Englewood beaches, local restaurants, parks, shops, and everyday conveniences, while still having a quiet home base to come back to.
Why Kids Love It
Kids love having space to play, swim, and make the trip feel like an adventure. The heated pool is usually the highlight, and the fenced yard gives families extra room to enjoy time outside. Inside, the home is being set up with family-friendly touches so kids feel welcome and parents have an easier, more relaxing stay.
Located in laid-back Englewood, this home puts you close to the best of Florida’s Gulf Coast without the crowds of bigger beach towns. Guests can enjoy nearby Manasota Key and Englewood Beach for swimming, shelling, sunset walks, and hunting for fossilized shark teeth. Lemon Bay, local parks, boat ramps, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing are all part of the area’s easy coastal lifestyle.
Downtown Dearborn Street is a short drive away, with local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, galleries, live music, seasonal events, and a popular farmers market. The neighborhood has a quiet residential feel while still being convenient to beaches, waterfront dining, grocery stores, golf, and day trips to Venice, Boca Grande, Sarasota, and Port Charlotte.
Englewood is perfect for guests looking for a relaxed “Old Florida” stay: beach days, fresh seafood, nature, sunsets, and a slower pace.
Lemon Bay Park is nearby for peaceful walks, nature trails, birdwatching, and views of Lemon Bay. Guests can also enjoy quiet neighborhood walks around the area. For beaches, Dearborn Street, restaurants, and shopping, most guests will prefer a quick drive.
Some local favorites include The Original Word of Mouth for breakfast, Mango Bistro for a casual lunch, Farlow’s on the Water for seafood and dinner, and Lock ‘N Key, The Waverly, or SandBar Tiki & Grille near Englewood Beach for a beach-day meal or drinks.
Plan beach days early, especially in season, so parking is easier and the sun is gentler. Lemon Bay Park is great when you want nature without committing to a full beach day. Dearborn Street is a nice local stop for shops, dining, and the farmers market when it’s in season. For sunset, head toward Englewood Beach or Manasota Key and give yourself a little extra time to park.
